Besides EverQuest, what other MMORPGs have you played?
None, Everquest is the first and I love it :)

How did you find out about EverQuest, and when did you begin playing?
My uncle brought me in, and I started about July of '05!

Do you know anyone in real life who plays EverQuest?
Not anymore :(

How did you come up with your main character's name?
I had a Voodoo doll on my desk with pins in its forehead and I thought Voodooman was appropriate for a necromancer, except it wouldn't let me have the name, so I stuck with Voodoman.

What factors affected your choice of race / class for your main character?
Dark Elves are hot, and necromancers just sounded good.

About how often do you play EverQuest, and how long is a typical playing session for you?
3-4 hours during the week, and any longer when I can sneak it in.

How do you spend your time in game?
Soloing AAs and raiding.

What other class/race combinations have you levelled past 35?
Drakkin Monk 44, Gnome Magician 55, Halfling Cleric 36.

Approximately how much of the EverQuest world have you experienced?
Not enough. Hehe.

What is your favourite expansion?
I liked PoP because of the raids.

What is your least favourite expansion?
LoY. I just hated the whole expansion and it's zones.

What is your favourite zone?
Jewel of Atiiki and it's warpy mobs, because the exp there is just awesome, and I like to make mobs warp!

What is your favourite NPC?
Tebarin because he tells me to kill Paladins and put their heads in a box.

What is your favourite raid encounter (if different from NPC)?
Anything with a knockback that knocks you into mobs or out of the zone. They rule!

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

Describe your most memorable moment or proudest accomplishment in game.
Getting my 1.5 because I had worked super hard on it, with help from good friends.

What is the largest amount of platinum you have ever had at one time, and how did you go about accumulating it?
400k because of a gold ticket. I wish I hadn't spent it all so fast, because I could really use it now.

What are some things you would change or implement in order to improve EverQuest?
Less faction. It's seriously getting old.

What types of spells, skills, disciplines, and/or alternate abilities would you like to see added to your class?
I would add faster nukes and make the EE proc more on the poison spell.

If you were responsible for organizing and running a GM event, what would it be and how would it play out?
I would make dragons invade PoK to kill all the noobs, then we'd all have to get together to kill it.

If you had to start over from scratch, what race/class combination would you choose?
Dark Elf Cleric. I've always wanted to be a healer and get eaten by trash mobs because the silly tank doesn't grab enough agro.

How do you describe EverQuest to your coworkers or computer-illiterate friends?
It's like WoW, but better. Usually they would say "Lolz u noob WoW is so much betterz, EQ suxxors lolz."

What is next for you in the world of EverQuest?
More AA grinding and hopefully breakthrough to Demi.
