Where in the real life world do you live? TN

What type of work do you do? Network Administrator

What got you into gaming and what sort of games do you like the most? My ex boyfriend, I actually used to laugh at him playing EQ1 and then I decided to give it a try and fell in love with the game from then on, I actually took his account over and made him get his own account back then haha. :) I love fantasy games the most.

What other hobbies or activities do you take part in, other then playing EQII? Spending time with my fiancé (who happens to play the game as well (Hi Sellara), going to the movies, gaming on the ps2 with my fiancé, playing other mmo's , shopping, you know the usual

What other MMOs have you played? EQ1, Anarchy Online, Dark Ages of Camelot, Asheron's Call, World of Warcraft, Vanguard, Call of Heroes, Silk Road Online.. I've played too many to remember :)

How long have you played EQII? 3 years (but I have the 4 year veteran reward!)

How long is your typical gaming session when playing EQII? I usually log in about 5pm and log off about 10pm - 12am

What does a typical EQII day consist of for you? Logging in for contested mobs and raiding. Sometimes doing instances or leveling an alt.

What was the race and class of your very first character? Barbarian, Shaman on EQ1. Dark Elf Defiler on EQ2

What is your highest level in EQII? 80! I have a level 80 coercer and 80 Mystic

What race and class is your main character? Fae Mystic

What do you like the most about the class you have chosen for your main character? With the new raid zones in this game, being a shaman is so much more fun than in EoF. I really truly love the fact that I can parse 1500 on a raid mob, keep it debuffed, and keep the main tank and my group alive without running out of power.

Does your main character worship a deity? Yes, Quellious

How did you choose your main character's name? Blueberrie, I wanted to be Strawberrie but it was taken, so Blueberrie was the next alternative.

Which classes in EQII have you NOT played? Plate classes, Scout Classes, Wizard

What is your favorite expansion? RoK at the moment. It's new, it's fun, & I LOVE the new raid zones.

What is your favorite zone? Hands down it has to be Jarsath Wastes. It's so beautiful and I absolutely LOVE Skyfire.

What is your favorite npc? The Leviathan. Uhm, absolutely my most favorite fight too.

What is the most platinum you have ever spent on purchasing a single item for one of your characters? Oh, probably around 40ish plat for a spell, maybe some for a horse. Probably 15ish for a shiny collection.

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? Tons! I like to have robes for my appearance, "a human child" (because I liked the Neriak Betrayal-Citizenship quest line where you have to kidnap a child), snowballs, frostfell cloak, and I'm sure there's tons of other stuff in my bank I can't think of off the top of my head.

What do you like best about EQII? The competition, though I'd have to say it's more of a love hate relationship at this moment.

What do you get out of playing EQII? I get a sense of accomplishment when raiding. I love going into a new raid zone and figuring out how to beat it by our self. Our raid leader is awesome when it comes to figuring out fights. We discourage anyone asking for help from other guilds. In fact we don't even listen if any of our members try to tell us "So-and-so did it this way". That's what makes us unique. We beat things on our own hands down and when we do, we get a sense of accomplishment out of it. It's not like we followed some cookie cutter routine like a lot of other guilds do. It feels nice. Like when we beat the HARD version of Venril Sathir that no one else on our server can beat now. I like that. So many guilds help each other out, we don't do that and we still hold server first rank for Avatars and contested on Antonia Bayle. Figuring out how to kill raid mobs is hands down the most fun thing for me.

Describe your best experience from playing EQII? Hands down it would be raiding Leviathan (correct me if I spelled that wrong) in beta and beating it before any of the other guilds did. That fight was so unique and so fun. I absolutely give props to the dev who developed that one. Also, second favorite would be beating the modified Venril Sathir before anyone on our server did. It seriously was an awesome time when we did that!
