Besides EverQuest, what other MMORPGs have you played? I haven't played any other MMOs. Do you know anyone in real life who plays EverQuest? Alloron, an uber druid who used to play on Luclin. What factors affected your choice of race / class for your main character? I wanted something different, and at the time just about every cleric was High Elf or Dwarf. Back when starting stats mattered I did have a few people tell me to reroll and play a "real cleric," I'm glad I stuck with her, though. About how often do you play EverQuest, and how long is a typical playing session for you? I play for grouping or farming about 5 times a week, for an average of 1-3 hours per play session. I also raid two or three times a week for an average of 3 hours per raid. How do you spend your time in game? In order of how often I do it: Raiding, farming, chatting, grouping, PLing guildmates' and friends' lowbies. I also do free smithing combines when I am bored, provided that you have the components. I am a 300 skill smith with blacksmithing mastery 3 + salvage 3 + 12pct mod. What is your least favourite expansion? Shadows of Luclin; I farmed shadowscream armor components there for hours upon hours and have kind of developed a distaste for the entire planet (or moon or whatever it is). What is your favourite zone? It's not a separate zone any more, but Kerra Isle - interesting lore / NPCs, though I disliked the racial tensions they had with Erudites. I always wanted to go there, but when I finally got there at level 4, they killed me. What is your favourite NPC? The Queen in Kerra Ridge. It's too bad they made her so wimpy lol. I think it's cool they have a matriarch ruler in EQ though. I would say Queen Sendaii, too, but she has killed me too many times for me to be fond of her. What is your favourite raid encounter (if different from NPC)? Queen Sendaii. She was such a pain but it was an awesome feeling when we beat her. Describe your most memorable moment or proudest accomplishment in game. Maybe it was the time my friend asked me if I had Tourette's because I had answered the phone during a CH chain and kept randomly counting to five. What is the largest amount of platinum you have ever had at one time, and how did you go about accumulating it? 200K, because my friend Carlii gave most of it to me, hehe. What are some things you would change or implement in order to improve EverQuest? More advertising to draw in new players! What types of spells, skills, disciplines, and/or alternate abilities would you like to see added to your class? Well... it's kind of sad, but... I powerlevel so often that I would love to see an AE root spell added, when PLing in areas that have lots of runners, haha. If you had to start over from scratch, what race/class combination would you choose? I would never start over from scratch, but if I had to, I'd make another Erudite cleric and name her the same thing =P What is next for you in the world of EverQuest? Demiplane! We have only Bloodeye to do. (He should be easy enough to knock out after our Sendaii win =)) ** Pick the winner in a battle between... Qeynos vs Felwithe - Qeynos is so much more interesting than Felwithe imo Giants of Velious vs Akhevans of Luclin - The Akhevans - bad-ass extraterrestrials ftw! Tradeskilling vs Questing - Tradeskilling |
