How long is your typical gaming session when playing EQ?
2-6 hours, depending on the day

What does a typical EQ day consist of for you?
Get on and ask if anyone in the guild needs me. I usually try to do a few TBS missions. If whoever I'm grouping with doesn't have TBS, we hit up Ashengate or Frostcrypt.

What was the race and class of your very first character?
Halfling Rogue

What got you into gaming and what sort of games do you like the most?
Hhhmmm… I've been gaming since I could pick up an Atari controller, so it's been a bit too long to remember what got me into it. I like RPGs

What other hobbies or activities do you take part in, other then playing EverQuest?
I have a 7 month old son, pretty much takes up all my time.

What is your highest level in EQ?
75

What race and class is your main character?
Half-Elf bard

What do you like the most about the class you have chosen for your main character?
Versatility, I can always find something to do.

Does your main character worship a deity?
Rodcet Nife, I pretty much closed my eyes and clicked a random deity.

How did you choose your main character's name?
First name is a song by Breaking Benjamin, surname is a detective from Law and Order played by Ice-T.

Which classes in EQ have you NOT played?
Paladin, I guess I'm just not very valiant.

What is your favorite expansion?
I really enjoyed the Planes of Power, a lot of backflagging though. Was such a great feeling when we finally became PoTime flagged.

What is your favorite zone?
Ashengate, it's a bard's playground.

What is your favorite npc?
Overlord Mata Muram, do they get any cooler?

Which expansion do you like the least?
LDoN, I don't really like anything about it...at all.

Which zone do you like the least?
Siren's Grotto, of the 2 years I've been playing, 6 months of it has been here. I still don't have my Neriad Shawl, but I'll keep trying for it, even if it kills me.

Which npc do you like the least?
Lcea Katta, she's not as charming as she thinks she is.

What is the most platinum you have ever spent on purchasing a single item for one of your characters?
250,000 twice. Gnomes make too much plat off me for AAAAs.

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?
My Singing Short Sword was quite an accomplishment for me at the time. My guild at the time set up 5 or so PoFear raids to get my Amy Whip, it never dropped. I went in solo one day at about level 56, kited Amygdalans for hours. I finally got my whip, I did what a raid couldn't.

What do you like best about EverQuest?
The feeling I get when learning a new encounter. The first time we killed Vishimitar, I was literally shaking.

What do you get out of playing EverQuest?
Mean looks from my fiancé. =)

Describe your best experience from playing EverQuest?
Killing the Rathe Council, It was an hour and a half of silence in the room that me and my friends were playing in. When we finally killed them, screams of joy erupted for hours.

Do you run or work for an EverQuest Fan Site?
Nope
