Where in do you live in real life? Just outside of Syracuse NY in a small cave whose entrance is strewn with the bones of many a careless adventurer.

How long have you played EQII? Just under two years.

What other MMOs have you played? There are other MMO's??!?

What type of work do you do? Computer Technician, IT/BOFH

What is your favorite food and drink to snack on while playing EQII? Honestly? Anything within reach - I don't even pay attention. I get so involved in the game that I could be snarfing down styrofoam packing peanuts and motor oil and I'll only notice when they're gone.

How long is your typical gaming session when playing EQII? 3-4 hours.

What does a typical day in EQII consist of for you? Paying the mender and getting re-dressed.

What was the race and class of your very first character? Kerran Swashbuckler.

What got you into gaming and what sort of games do you like the most? I started in pen and paper after picking up a Dragonlance book because of an Elmore painting. I've been hooked since. Anything fantasy. Dragons - hobbits, chicks in chainmail bikinis....

Pirates, ninjas, vikings, robots, or other? Gaar! I ain't be justifyin' tha' silly question with no answer MATEY! YAAARRR!!

What other hobbies or activities do you take part in, other then playing EverQuest II? Writing takes up most of my time. I can't stop. Its like some sort of crack addiction but with words instead of...um..crack...

What is your highest level in EQII? 51. Two years and I'm 51. Ahhh the plight of the roleplayer. *wipes a tear*

What race and class is your main character? Kerran Swashbuckler.

What do you like the most about the class you have chosen for your main character? The RP possibilities. Swashbucklers are the ultimate character. Han Solo ripping through space, Indiana Jones out running boulders, Richard Kimble making me realize that I seem to have a Harrison Ford fetish...

Write us a hilarious haiku:
In undies I sit
My mouse and keyboard in hand
The Dragon Slayer

Do you craft with any of your characters? If so, what tradeskills? I tried it. I got killed by a bad batch of cookies. I'll stick to goblins and wolves, thanks. Getting your butt kicked by a chocolate chip cookie dough is just embarassing.

How did you choose your main character's name? Kadesso is the masculine of Kadessa which is Romani for "Mouse". A Kerra rogue named Mouse amused me.

What is your favorite zone? Sinking sands, without a doubt. Sand tornados that huck you into Terrorantula? What is there NOT to love?

What is your favorite NPC to fight? Why HELLO there Ghost of Holly Windstalker! My don't you look lovely today! *GANK*

What is your favorite NPC to observe or talk to? The Lost Scout on the Qeynos Island of Refuge. Climbing a tree to get away from wolves...if only that worked.

What's the first word that comes to mind when you read: Pepper? Pig.

Do you have an item you no longer use but keep around for nostalgic reasons? If so what is it and why do you keep it? My dwarven work boots. Because I did it before the quest was changed. 100 of each item off of nodes that disappeared on a fail? HA! You kids today have it EASY.

What do you like best about EverQuest II? The people. Friends, aquantances - the random stranger who picks up your role playing and plays back without prompting. This game would be nothing without the community.

What is your favorite or most memorable moment from EverQuest II? Pulling literally 20 mobs with social aggro because I AOE'd when I wasn't supposed to and blaming it on Bongotezz when EVERYONE knew it was me. "I distinctly saw an arrow." is still a running joke in our guild.

Cake, pie, or other? Lets not be blasphemous. Pie.

Thank you, Coyote, for that great interview! Stay tuned to see who will be in next week's Player Spotlight!
