Five hours weeknights 5-10 pm eastern and all weekend long!

What does a typical EQ day consist of for you?
Stock up on more pearls from clothing, hehee! Greeting all my guildies and sending funny tells to my in-game friends. Then asking if anyone needs help with DPS, quests, pet toys, armor etc.

What was the race and class of your very first character?
High Elf, Magician. Everything else in the game is lesser!

What got you into gaming and what sort of games do you like the most?
Always played PC games! Bought EQ (My first online game) at CompUSA had no idea how godly the game would be! 100% a packaging decision!

What other hobbies or activities do you take part in, other then playing EverQuest?
I have built 3 PC's from scratch, electronics buff, scuba, basically (white & nerdy)

What is your highest level in EQ?
75. 1680AA's all leader points

What race and class is your main character?
High Elf Magician, of course!

What do you like the most about the class you have chosen for your main character?
It is challenging to play, not part of the holy trinity so I don't get constant tells, but I can provide great benefits to a group in for form of playing MT, DPS or emergency CC. Also on those days when I don't feel like grouping, I can solo quite effectively or duo with just one or two friends.

Does your main character worship a deity?
Yes Mithaniel Marr! People with Honor always impress me, specifically military types who would lay down their lives to protect everyone.

How did you choose your main character's name?
It's my RL name too

Which classes in EQ have you NOT played?
Beastlord, Berserker, Cleric, Monk, Pally, SK and Wizzy

What is your favorite expansion?
Gee that's tough I loved them all Probably the newest one TSS?

What is your favorite zone?
Plane of Justice! Totally different, amazing theme music, secret tunnels, a new type of ring event, fun pathing and plenty of mobs to kill!

What is your favorite NPC?
Probably the Emp in SSra, was amazing back then to have to get everyone keyed for his throne room and then at level 60 he was tough to kill.

Which expansion do you like the least?
GoD hands down! Don't get me wrong, once you guys fixed it was one of the best zone but launching it the way it was caused most of my friends back then to quit the game. All the work that was put into it to, if it was launched the way it is today, it would have been the best expansion ever hands down!

Which zone do you like the least?
Rivervale- That music drives me nuts!

Which NPC do you like the least?
Souldrainer in RCoD. Wandering zone sweeping AoE mobs are evil!

What is the most platinum you have ever spent on purchasing a single item for one of your characters?
108K for my glowing red drum.

Do you have an item you no longer use but keep around for nostalgic reasons? If so what is it and why do you keep it?
Yes! Scepter of Shadows (Vex Thal key) Because it took me months to quest it!

What do you like best about EverQuest?
Dollar for dollar there is no form of entertainment that gives you more for you money.

What do you get out of playing EverQuest?
A unique social experience with my in game friends every single time I log on. A SENSE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT! (as part of a team)

Describe your best experience from playing EverQuest?
My in game friend Furipodtoo! We have a blast every night! If you're asking from an accomplishment standpoint it is a tossup, between the final walk the gnome part of the blessed shawl quest, and finally getting my Plane of Time access and zoning in. Who ever designed that whole quest was a genius. And the music in PoT when you finally get to zone in is so fitting. It makes everyone cheer!

Do you run or work for an EverQuest Fan Site?
Nope! But I am an every day poster at The Magician's Tower which you can visit at eqsummoners.com
