How long is your typical gaming session when playing EQ?
5-6 hours
What does a typical EQ day consist of for you?
On the weekdays, raid then sleep! Weekends, if I get on, it's to haunt the older zones...I love revisiting old places, memories :)
What was the race and class of your very first character?
Hmmm...high Elf Wizard, on the Nameless. I made it to level 4, then some 'kind' player told me there was a secret in a nearby hut, so I followed him in....once in, he asked me to take off my robe. So! I logged, and made a necromancer on Morell Thule, Lexxis. I still play her at times!:)
What got you into gaming and what sort of games do you like the most?
I used to always hang around the nearby Software Etc. store, seeing if the next Final Fantasy was out yet. A friend that worked there always tried to sway me towards EverQuest... sometimes literally chasing me around with the display box. I finally bought a copy, and have played ever since. (But I still bug the game store for Final Fantasy details! *giggles*)
What other hobbies or activities do you take part in, other then playing EverQuest?
Well...I have odd hobbies:) I am into competition swordfighting. Fencing, Kendo, and SCA tourneys. Also, I love reading braille! :) I have a bunch of books, and always on the lookout for more! Also, I paint/sculpt/sketch, and sing/play violin-cello/bagpipes/bohdran/tinwhistle/trumpet and stuff:) I have too much free time haha :)
What is your highest level in EQ?
85
What race and class is your main character?
Halfling rogue =D
What do you like the most about the class you have chosen for your main character?
I love being able to scout around, and I LOVE my illusion clickies! :) I have 39 now...but the ever elusive gnome mask evades me still.
Does your main character worship a deity?
Yes, Bristlebane...he's rich!
How did you choose your main character's name?
My original plan was to have her called 'Myrdra Matadora....As in 'Murdrah (murderer) Matadora (spanish for well...a female bullfighter, since bullfighters kind of backstab after a flourish of deception:)) But, then I won a gm event, and became 'The Trickster', which works very well for a worshipper of Bristlebane, so yay! :)
Which classes in EQ have you NOT played?
Lots...I have only played a Necro, Bard and my Rogue. The rest are uncharted waters.
What is your favorite expansion?
Planes of Power. The music, scenery, and the overall feeling of being immersed in the story, all make it very memorable to me.
What is your favorite zone?
If I could create a pocket zone just for my character to call home, it would be just like the Plane of Torment. I love the looks, the sounds, and the music =D
What is your favorite NPC?
Now this is a funny question for me. Way back in 2000, when I had my necro...she was one of about 3 around at the time. When I went exploring at low level, I found myself very lost from Neriak...and eventually found my way to Freeport. Scared of dying and never getting my corpse back, I asked a kindly enchanter to bind me there. This was around level 5...so, There I was, a dark elf necro...bound in Freeport. Safe to say, it was a hostile environment. As I was wandering the city, I happened upon Brunar Rankin:) Of all the folk in the city, he was amiable to me (for some reason!) and had kind things to say when hailed. So later on, when i was higher level, i rampaged through the city, killing guards, etc for revenge, when I happened upon him again...still amiable, after my spree....I hailed him for nostalgia, and now do it any time I am in the zone, for some odd sentiment :)
Which expansion do you like the least? ?
I'd have to say, despite the good 'training' raids in Gates of Discord, I have to say I had the least fun there. I loved the music though!
Which zone do you like the least?
Uqua
Which NPC do you like the least?
Travis Two-Tone in Neklutos. For just about the opposite reasons I listed for Brunar in Freeport. He dies when I see him. :)
What is the most platinum you have ever spent on purchasing a single item for one of your characters?
Buying a 100k horse. That, was painful hehe!
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?
I have a whole bank full ;p
What do you like best about EverQuest?
The community, and memories of old friends and new... .and clickies!
What do you get out of playing EverQuest?
My 'escape' from the drab mundane world at times...at other times, an entertaining diversion :)
Describe your best experience from playing EverQuest?
Beating Quarm for the first time and any other big 'firsts' that wrap up an expansion. I made a set of hotkeys called 'Roll Credits' When my guild 'Beats EQ' for the time being!
Do you run or work for an EverQuest Fan Site?
No
