How long have you played Star Wars Galaxies? I have played since launch day.
What other MMOs have you played? I have played City of Heroes, World of WarCraft, Guild Wars, Knight Online, and the Lord of the Rings beta.
What type of work do you do? I am a Reptile conservationist; I work to relocate snakes, alligators, and other reptiles that have become a problem in residential areas. (Rest in peace, Steve Irwin.)
How long is your typical gaming session when playing Star Wars Galaxies? This past year it has dropped to about 2 hours. In the first 2 years of SWG, however, I will admit to having played 10-15 hours a day.
What does a typical Star Wars Galaxies day consist of for you? A typical day of SWG for me consists of checking email, updating vendors, saying hello to friends, and jumping into some PvP.
What was the race and profession of your very first character? My first character was a male Zabrak entertainer.
What got you into gaming and what sort of games do you like the most? What got me into gaming was Atari, and Pac-Man! I prefer MMO's now, though.
What other hobbies or activities do you take part in, other then playing Star Wars Galaxies? My hobbies other then computer games are: fishing, hunting, looking for snakes and anything outdoors that keeps me in shape!
What is your highest level Character in Star Wars Galaxies? My highest-level character is level 90.
What race and profession is your main character? My main character is a Zabrak elder bounty hunter.
What do you like the most about the profession you have chosen for your main character? What I like most about my profession is the fact that I have been a bounty hunter since before the Combat Upgrade. In addition, running bounties and killing unsuspecting players is fun.
What faction is your main character? My main character is Imperial.
What is your favorite player owned ship? My favorite ship is my Sorosuub Luxury yacht.
What is your favorite ground vehicle? My favorite vehicle is the AV-21 landspeeder. Jetpacks are nice, but I'm old school!
How did you choose your main character's name? The name just came to me while I was at the character selection screen.
Which professions in Star Wars Galaxies have you NOT played? The only profession I have not played is spy-- I guess I am waiting for it to lose its "flavor of the month" status.
What is your favorite expansion? My favorite expansion is The Trials of Obi-Wan.
What is your favorite planet? Rori is my favorite planet. It will always be home.
What is your favorite NPC? Darth Vader is my favorite NPC.
Which expansion do you like the least? Rage of the Wookiee is my least favorite expansion. It took me forever to figure out the maze of trails and I am still scared to try again!
Which planet do you like the least? I like Talus the least. Is it just me, or is that planet always laggy?
Which NPC do you like the least? I cannot say that I have a least favorite.
What is the most credits you have ever spent on purchasing a single item for one of your characters? The most credits I have ever spent was 400 million credits for a Nightsister Bicep in 2006.
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? For nostalgic reasons, I still have my Pre-NGE Elite carbine and it still has my anti-decay kit on it. I used to use it everyday and ran a ton of bounties with that gun!
What do you like best about Star Wars Galaxies? What I like best is the social aspect. No other game on the market offers such an in-depth social interaction with other players.
What do you get out of playing Star Wars Galaxies? When I play SWG, I don't just feel like I'm 'playing a game' (like with others). I really consider it a home-away-from-home.
Describe your best experience playing Star Wars Galaxies? My best experience was back before we had mounts and vehicles. Knowing that I'm one of the few people left that completed Jabba's and the Rebel Theme park on foot, multiple times, really gives me a sense of accomplishment.
Do you run or work for a Star Wars Galaxies Fan Site? No, I do not. I feel that my time spent on the Bria forums is work enough!
