Besides EverQuest, what other MMORPGs have you played?
I've tried WOW and FFXI. WOW has a decent quest system from what I've seen, however too many little kids and drama always find you, and the lack of raid targets seemed to be a problem.

How did you find out about EverQuest, and when did you begin playing?
I played Unreal for a while and many of my friends moved to Planetside, so I followed and I heard EverQuest looked like the same game engine, so I tried EQ and have been here ever since.

Do you know anyone in real life who plays EverQuest?
My brother.

How did you come up with your main character's name?
I played many online games for a long time as [SOB]Mr--e.

What factors affected your choice of race / class for your main character?
Paladins can heal and tank, and that seemed like a good starter character.

About how often do you play EverQuest, and how long is a typical playing session for you?
Can be 1 - 15 hours :)

How do you spend your time in game?
Raiding, soloing, farming, tradeskilling.

What other class/race combinations have you levelled past 35?
Cleric Halfling
Shaman Troll
Monk Iksar

Approximately what percentage of the EverQuest world have you experienced?
90%, all but high-end Prophecy of Ro stuff.

What is your favourite expansion?
Planes of Power, because it was the first real raiding content that took strategy, skill and teamwork. Not to say the older expansions didn't take skill and teamwork but PoP is where what you learned in Velious and Luclin really came together.

What is your least favourite expansion?
Ykesha

What is your favourite zone?
Highpass Keep as I spent a lot of time there as a noobie, and it grew on me.

What is your favourite raid encounter (if different from NPC)?
Vishimtar because everyone has a job and one mess-up can mess it all up.

If the war between Firiona Vie and Lanys T`Vyl erupted again, which side would you take?
Firiona Vie - fighting a losing battle seems like the pally thing to do.

Describe your most memorable moment or proudest accomplishment in game.
Being in one of the first few guilds in Tacvi at 65 with "Realm of Insanity".

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

What are some things you would change or implement in order to improve EverQuest?
Change all quests to the new quest system; make the doors in Guild Hall programable to certain instances..

What types of spells, skills, disciplines, and/or alternate abilities would you like to see added to your class?
Unresistable stun, group cure, AE stun, undead slow or mez.

If you were responsible for organizing and running a GM event, what would it be and how would it play out?
Mobs would take over the Plane of Knowledge and the server would have to clear it.

If you had to start over from scratch, what race/class combination would you choose?
Dark Elf Necromancer, because DoT, FD, and twitch afk seems fun.

How do you describe EverQuest to your coworkers or computer-illiterate friends?
"I kill monsters with a sword and people help me."

What is next for you in the world of EverQuest?
Level 75!

** Pick the winner in a battle between...

Felwithe vs Neriak - Neriak, too many dark elves in this world
King Tormax vs Dain Frostreaver IV - Dain because he would hit Tormax's shins. With tall chicken legs like his, that would hurt
Dragons of Velious vs Dragons of Norrath - Dragons of Velious because they come with faction hits that will mess up your world in the wrong places
Tradeskilling vs Questing - Questing, less wrist pain
Instance Zones vs Static Zones - Static Zones, fun sometimes to see a player fighting for his life
Monster Missions vs Project M (PvP as Monsters) - Project M? Seems cool, gotta try that
Soloing vs Pick-Up Groups - Soloing
Guild Raiding vs Grouping With Friends - Both are about the same to me
GM (real people) Events vs Scripted (computerized) Events - GM
Arena Royal Rumble vs 1-on-1 Duel - 1-on-1 Duel
Faydwer vs Odus - Faydwer, hot little easy elf chicks live there
Kunark vs Velious - Kunark
Planes of Power vs Gates of Discord - Planes of Power, c2 camped buddy
