What other MMOs have you played?
Diablo 2 was my addiction before EQ. Vanguard for about a month when it launched, WoW just for the free trial, and a few free online MMOs like Runescape but never seriously.

How long is your typical gaming session when playing EQ?
It varies drastically, 30 minutes to burn lesson up to 12+ hours if an expansion is new or if I have a goal I'm trying to accomplish.
What does a typical EQ day consist of for you?
Log in, burn lesson, chat with friends, afk for dinner, chat with friends, raid, chat with friends.
What was the race and class of your very first character?
Human wizard, I switched to mage at level 3 when I discovered they got pets.
What got you into gaming and what sort of games do you like the most?
I'm young so I grew up with games, I would say the Final Fantasy series is responsible for getting me into Diablo/EQ and online gaming. I'm still a fan of the Final Fantasy series, but I enjoy lots of role-playing games. I love strategy games as well and have wasted many hours on various tower defense games.
What other hobbies or activities do you take part in, other then playing EverQuest?
I'm fairly young (in college) so I still try and work out regularly. I also watch WAY too much TV.
What is your highest level in EQ?
85
What race and class is your main character?
Vah Shogre Beastlord. Picture should explain my race.
What do you like the most about the class you have chosen for your main character?
I love being able to solo, people always say it's a social game but I wouldn't have stuck around this long if I wasn't able to run off and do my own thing most of the time.
Does your main character worship a deity?
Nope
How did you choose your main character's name?
Name generator chose it for me
What other characters do you play often?
My original main was a mage I played to 65 (when it was cap). I played a wizard for a few weeks when Mayong launched and recently started working on an alt Wiz also.
Which classes in EQ have you NOT played?
Druid, Enchanter, Necromancer, shadow knight, Paladin, Berserker, Monk
What is your favorite expansion?
TSS, it was the first expansion I raided seriously with what I would consider a "real" raiding guild. Planes of Power is tied, I absolutely loved the concept of fighting the gods and continued to hunt in the zones for years and years.
What is your favorite zone?
Highhold Keep
What is your favorite NPC?
Lethar, probably just because Lethar2.0 is my favorite event.
Which expansion do you like the least?
Depths of Darkhollow, I just seemed to die a disproportionate amount of times in those zones.
Which zone do you like the least?
The Hive
Which NPC do you like the least?
Ran Flamespinner, he didn't care for me killing all the guards in HHK for profit. He had his revenge numerous times.
What is the most platinum you have ever spent on purchasing a single item for one of your characters?
I think I spent 300k on a cultural BP+ Aug the week SoF launched. I also made 2million that month selling Bloodmoon Keep drops, by far the largest swings my bank account has ever seen.
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 keep augs and weapons mostly, just because when I stumble across them in my bank I remember how long I waited for it and how happy I was when I got it.
What do you like best about EverQuest?
The memories
What do you get out of playing EverQuest?
Cheap entertainment
Describe your best experience from playing EverQuest?
I solo'd Dismal Darkpaw Mystic in Jaggedpine Forest as part of my epic 2.0. It was the most epic fight I've ever won, my gear wasn't that great but it couldn't have been a more even match.

No
Gnoll, Orc, or Goblin?
