Besides EverQuest, what other MMORPGs have you played?
Haven't played any others...why mess with the best??

How did you find out about EverQuest, and when did you begin playing?
I used to play D&D, and wanted to play something similar that didn't require getting a bunch of people together to play..started playing in 2002-04, then came back again in 2007.

Do you know anyone in real life who plays EverQuest?
Not anymore, unfortunately.

How did you come up with your main character's name?
My original toon was Quasit. When I came back, I made a toon as similar to him as I could, so I went with the same name..(not exact obviously).

What factors affected your choice of race / class for your main character?
I have always been a fan of gnomes, and they get INT bonuses... Class choice was a no-brainer for me, as I have always been a little evil > >:)

About how often do you play EverQuest, and how long is a typical playing session for you?
Everyday, at least three hours.. Most of the time, more like eight though.

How do you spend your time in game?
Soloing, grouping, raiding... Whatever I feel like doing atm.

What other class/race combinations have you levelled past 35?
lol, none other than this one.

Approximately how much of the EverQuest world have you experienced?
Not nearly enough, probably around 50%.

What is your favourite expansion?
I really liked PoP, the way it was set up to advance was great.

What is your least favourite expansion?
LoY...enough said.

What is your favourite zone?
Right now, I'd have to say any zone I can solo in and group in and get good XP.

What is your favourite NPC?
Fippy Darkpaw!!!

What is your favourite raid encounter (if different from NPC)?
Well, I haven't been on a lot of the newer raids, but the School Leader in NC was pretty good... killed it with a single group though...

If the war between Firiona Vie and Lanys T`Vyl erupted again, which side would you take?
Lanys.

Describe your most memorable moment or proudest accomplishment in game.
I am currently almost finished with my 1.0...getting happy about that.

What is the largest amount of platinum you have ever had at one time, and how did you go about accumulating it?
About 500k by selling crap in the Bazaar and farming...

What are some things you would change or implement in order to improve EverQuest?
I would remove some of the restrictions on the older expansions and make them open to the rest of us.

What types of spells, skills, disciplines, and/or alternate abilities would you like to see added to your class?
A better heal spell for our pets would be good or a faster casting DD spell...

If you were responsible for organizing and running a GM event, what would it be and how would it play out?
I don't have a clue lol

If you had to start over from scratch, what race/class combination would you choose?
I did start over from scratch, and I would probably do it again the same way if forced to restart.

How do you describe EverQuest to your coworkers or computer-illiterate friends?
It's like WoW, but better...

What is next for you in the world of EverQuest?
Finish 1.0, start 1.5 and get flagged for Anguish.
