Wh:at are your first impressions of San Diego?
There are lots of freeways. LOTS of freeways. I'm not used to that. But the people have all been really friendly so far, so I don't feel too lost (except when I take a wrong turn on those freeways!)
Why tradeskills in EQII? What draws you in?
I've been crafting in EQII since beta. I like being able to create game content. It's not adventure dependant like it was in EQ1, which gives you a whole alternate play style if you don't feel like adventuring. I like being able to make physical content that others can see, touch, and use. I also believe that the crafting player base contributes a lot to the in-game community by being a focus for trading and interaction, as well as through their ability and willingness to help others. I have always particularly liked that as a crafter, you can help newbies, friends, and guildmates so much by crafting them stuff.
What other games do you play?
At the moment I don't play anything because I don't have my computer yet. I'm going through withdrawal! I'm not a console player and am pretty focused on PC games. Usually just one game will get my attention at the time, so that's currently EQII. I have played other MMO's, but just one at a time. I also enjoy sim and strategy games like CIV IV, Tropico, and Dungeon Keeper.
What has been your best moment in EQII?
I've had many, but very high on the list would be when I've decorated someone's house and they are not expecting anything and first zone in. When they see it they are often speechless, or leave the house because they think they have entered the wrong one!
