How long have you played EQII? Since beta.
What other MMOs have you played? EQ, WoW, COH, COV, Star Wars Galaxies, Planetside, Guild Wars (should that really even be considered an MMO?)
What type of work do you do? ? I find people jobs. I'm a staffing manager. People come to me looking for work, businesses come to me looking for people looking for work. I'm like a matchmaker for the business world.
What is your favorite food and drink to snack on while playing EQII? Currently, Eggo Cereal. You can SMELL the maple syrup in it!
How long is your typical gaming session when playing EQII? It started off at around, 15 hours a day. Seriously. But now with work, and my fiancé attending school, my play time has been cut seriously short.
What does a typical day in EQII consist of for you? Soloing. Oh and I like to loot the chests of players that are "AFK leveling". Every now and then you'll come across a master chest.
What was the race and class of your very first character?In EQ2, Dark Elf Shadowknight. In EQ, Human Paladin.
What got you into gaming and what sort of games do you like the most? I started off on the Atari 2600, it's all been downhill since then. (one day I will beat E.T). I prefer RPG's over everything but i'm not opposed to a good shooter.
Pirates, ninjas, vikings, robots, or other? Ninjas. Although sloths have a sensitive side about them that few people seldom see.
What other hobbies or activities do you take part in, other then playing EverQuest II? Playing with my 2 year old daughter. It's like a 2nd full time job, but it's one I would never quit!
What is your highest level in EQII? 70
What race and class is your main character? Human Monk
What do you like the most about the class you have chosen for your main character? His ability to turn in to a tiger, and then, well...I guess that's all that does isn't it?
Write us a hilarious haiku:
Everquest has saved my life.
There is no more time for you.
Where is my social life?
Do you craft with any of your characters? If so, what tradeskills? Nopers
How did you choose your main character's name? It was supposed to be Shi De, but I screwed up and made it Shide. I wanted something that sounded oriental. Now it just sounds like "hide" with a lisp.
What is your favorite zone? I like Zek
What is your favorite NPC to fight? Badgers. Every time I see em I stop to say hi. Oh and to kill them.
What is your favorite NPC to observe or talk to? Foster Grant.
What's the first word that comes to mind when you read: Pepper? Butthole Surfers. (I know that's two words)
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? Dwarven Work Boots. Because they look good next to my Lightstone.
What do you like best about EverQuest II? I like how when you see a kid in EQ II it's just an adult shrunk down. At first It gave me nightmares, now I've come to love the little buggers.
What is your favorite or most memorable moment from EverQuest II? When I got my Prismatic. Two levels later it was grey. =)
Cake, pie, or other? Chocolate Other, I don't care for pastries.
