Where in the real life world do you live? I live in New Philadelphia, OH

What type of work do you do? I work as Network Engineer for a local manufacturing company.

What got you into gaming and what sort of games do you like the most? I got into gaming at a very young age playing our Atari 5200 (which I still have and still works) with my father and have never looked back. The type of games I prefer the most are certainly MMO's which I have been playing for about the last 9 or 10 years.

What other hobbies or activities do you take part in, other then playing EQII? Most of my time not playing EQ2 is devoted to spending time with my wife Tiff and our puppy Toby. I also enjoy cooking, tinkering with my vast collections of PCs and gadgets and watching sports.

What other MMOs have you played? I think I have tried just about every MMO on the market at one point or another but the MMO's I spent the most time in would be Everquest, Lineage II, WoW, Vanguard, and of course, EQ2.

How long have you played EQII? I started playing EQ2 in early June of 2007.

How long is your typical gaming session when playing EQII? Typically, I play for about 4 hours per session depending on the day.

What does a typical EQII day consist of for you? My typical EQ2 day normally consists of mending from our last raid, preparing for our next raid, helping out guildies, or working on leveling my Fury up.

What was the race and class of your very first character? My very first ever character was a Woodelf Wizard.

What is your highest level in EQII? I currently have one level 70 toon.

What race and class is your main character? My main character is an Arasai Necromancer

What do you like the most about the class you have chosen for your main character? What I enjoy most about my Necromancer has to be the amount of utility we bring to a group/raid as well as doing outstanding DPS. Between focusing on my DPS, handing out hearts, rezzing the dead, curing ailments, and the occasional heal, I am always busy.

Does your main character worship a deity? Currently I worship Solusek Ro but that will be changing with the release of RoK.

How did you choose your main character's name? Since as far back I can remember, I have chosen the name Alundre as my main character which, up until EQ2, has always been a healing class with my first alt always being a DPS class named Igby. EQ2 is my first game where I leveled my toons in reverse but my Fury won't be far off. :)

Which classes in EQII have you NOT played? The only classes I HAVE played so far are a Necromancer, Fury, and Wizard.

What is your favorite expansion? From what I have seen so far and being involved in the latest beta has to be RoK.

What is your favorite zone? My favorite zone is Neriak. The artwork in beautiful and it serves as a great central hub to get me anywhere I want to go.

Which npc do you like the least? My least favorite npc has to be Kirsteh the Witch! She was so mean to me when I was working on my level 20 armor quests!

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? I still hang on to my level 20 quest armor because it felt like such an achievement earning it and I can't seem to part with it.

What do you like best about EQII? What I like best about EQ2 is quite simply the depth of the game. Every time I log in, I feel as though I have so many things I could be doing from working on tradeskills, harvesting, working on my collections, rearranging my house furniture, and raiding/grouping with my guildies....the list goes on and on!

What do you get out of playing EQII? The most fun I get out of playing EQ2 is hanging out with my friends/guildies (Shoutout to SE, you guys are the best!)

Describe your best experience from playing EQII? My best experience from playing EQ2 so far was at level 61 going to a Lyceum raid with my guildies whose entire goal was to see how many times I died during the instance since I was teasing them about how Epic I was and how I could solo the zone.....but I believe I surprised them a little by the time we were done since my only death was when they gave me the "honor" of pet pulling the final boss of the zone.

Do you run or work for an EQII Fan Site? Nope
