Where in the real life world do you live? Baltimore, MD

How long have you played EQII? Since day one!! Hurikhan is a day younger than EQ2 only because the original Hurikhan was on a different server and I deleted him to make the current one to be with friends.

What other MMOs have you played? EQLive, WoW, Guild Wars, DAoC, the Realm, Vanguard, City of Heroes, Pirates of the Burning Sea, just to name a few.

What type of work do you do? I am a Cruise Agent. Anyone want to go on a cruise? PM on the forums for a link to my website.

How long is your typical gaming session when playing EQII? It depends. It can range from 30 mins. to 5 hours. It really depends on what I am doing or want to accomplish.

What does a typical EQ day consist of for you? Well, now that Hurikhan is 80, I am trying to build his AA points. Plus I have a few alts that I want to level up so I can raid with them too.

What was the race and class of your very first character? Hurikhan is my first, a Kerra Shadowknight.

What got you into gaming and what sort of games do you like the most? I started gaming way back when on the Atari 2600. My first "online" games were with The Sierra Network, and I've been hooked ever since. My first "MMO" was The Realm.

What other hobbies or activities do you take part in, other then playing EverQuest II? I watch a lot of movies and TV. I also read the Official EQ2 NGD Forums a lot. I am known as DreadPirate over there. Plus, I work on my comics and blog.

What is your highest level in EQII? Hurikhan is 80!!!

What race and class is your main character? Hurikhan is still a Kerra Shadowknight.

What do you like the most about the class you have chosen for your main character? I like unusual races. Kerra, Iksar, Sarnak! Everyone has Elves, Dwarves, and Humans. I'd like to see a gnoll or orc-like player race put in EQ2!

Does your main character worship a deity? Yes, Hurikhan is a follower of Bertoxxolous.

How did you choose your main character's name? I wanted something that kinda sounded like hurricane.

Which classes in EQII have you NOT played? I'm not much of a caster or healer. I do have a fury and warden, but I hardly play them. No robe wearers for me though.

What is your favorite expansion? Rise of Kunark, definitely!

What is your favorite zone? Kunzar Jungle. The City of Mist looks incredible!

What is your favorite npc? The RoK goblins. I love what they say when they die!

What is the most platinum you have ever spent on purchasing a single item for one of your characters? 40plat for my Nightmare Warg... sheesh!

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? Not really, but with the appearance slot, I wish I had kept some of my level 20 armor quests pieces.

What do you like best about EverQuest II? It is a good mix of everything. Soloing, Grouping, Raiding, Crafting, PvP, community, game lore... what's not to like?

What do you get out of playing EverQuest II? It's just fun! If a game isn't fun, you shouldn't play it.

Describe your best experience from playing EverQuest II? Being part of the first guild on Kithicor to Level 80! Everyone in my guild really came together and busted out HQs and writs, both XP and crafting. Some were like machines. It was great to see that message flash across my screen, and know no one else on my server had done it yet.

Do you run or work for an EverQuest II Fan Site? Yes! Hurikhan's Comics! Stop by and see what trouble I can get into! http://hurikhan.blogspot.com
