How did you find out about EverQuest, and when did you begin playing?
Beta.

Do you know anyone in real life who plays EverQuest?
lol Several.

How did you come up with your main character's name?
It just popped into my head one day...

What factors affected your choice of race / class for your main character?
I wanted to be evil and yet "good" at the same time, and able to do massive amounts of damage at the same time :)

About how often do you play EverQuest, and how long is a typical playing session for you?
Everyday, 12 hours.

How do you spend your time in game?
Raiding, Tradeskilling, Grouping with friends, Questing.

What other class/race combinations have you levelled past 35?
lol here we go, long list. 1 Rogue, 1 Paladin, 3 Rangers, 1 Wizard, 1 Enchanter, 1 cleric, 1 Shaman, 1 Warrior.

Approximately how much of the EverQuest world have you experienced?
95% of it - Just missing Crystallos raiding :)

What is your favourite expansion?
Velious, it was the best expansion ever made. Dragons and Giant slaying - who wouldn't love that!!

What is your least favourite expansion?
GoD... the Muramites just need to go away...and stay gone lol

What is your favourite zone?
Butcherblock ... Love the beautiful sunsets that you can see on top of the wall :)

What is your favourite NPC?
Stanos - that's where it all starts for a young rogue. Also Mayong Mistmoore because he has an awesome castle and defied Innoruuk!~ :)

What is your favourite raid encounter (if different from NPC)?
Vishimtar - it really takes a lot of focus from all in the raid to pull it off which is really simple, but if one something goes wrong it has that ability of just completely collapsing your raid.

If the war between Firiona Vie and Lanys T`Vyl erupted again, which side would you take?
Lanys T'Vyl

Describe your most memorable moment or proudest accomplishment in game.
The day I stood at the corpse of Avatar of War with a group of my closest friends after a long grueling battle with him. We stood proud as the day is long :)

What is the largest amount of platinum you have ever had at one time, and how did you go about accumulating it?

What are some things you would change or implement in order to improve EverQuest?
Making targeting easier when trying to buff someone or heal someone that you don't automatically get their familiar.

What types of spells, skills, disciplines, and/or alternate abilities would you like to see added to your class?
A completely invisible AA for Rogues - NOTHING can see you :) Hey we can all dream, can't we? :)

If you were responsible for organizing and running a GM event, what would it be and how would it play out?
A tradeskill quest whoever did the best quality work in the shortest amount of time with the least amount of help would get a title and a 15% to all tradeskill trophey :)

If you had to start over from scratch, what race/class combination would you choose?
Dark Elf Rogue, that's what I spend my life as now anyway it's what makes me happiest.

How do you describe EverQuest to your coworkers or computer-illiterate friends?
As an online roleplaying game that allows you to chat and communicate with friends, family, and people from around the world who you have developed relationships with over the years.

Finishing my wizard's Eron's Jewelry quest.
