How long have you
been playing?
I'm only just about to reach my two year mark in the
realms. My first event was Convergences 2010, where I spent the night
questing with Sir Rillan Kaiser
of Grimloch.
How has the game
changed since you've been playing?
When I first started playing it was before bamboo was
brought into the game and most people were still using pvc weapons. Now even
first event newbies have socked bamboo weapons thanks to my friend Kahlenar.
Who have you
learned the most?
When talking about fighting and field tactics Sir Shandar
Silverstorm of Grimloch, has taught me more than anyone else in the realms. But
of course I have also learned some other tricks from people by asking around
for tips on fighting. For example, sir Rohde of Grimloch taught me that to
block or attack only takes the slightest movements.
What was your best
moment IC?
My best IC moment was at a single grain of sand where I
sailed upon a sea of bedlam in the feared pirate ship, the Burlap Terror! I and
my friends spent the night chasing bedlam boys around while throwing harpoons
at them.
What was your best
moment as a NPC/EH/Player?
My best moment would have been at On the Brink
where I was told “At around 3am when everyone IC had gone to bed, sneak into
their camp and start burning down some tents”. After the first tent some of the
other players heard me and ran out of their tents to fight.

What would you like
to see changed or developed more in game?
I would personally like to see more PvP action, and
more high risk events.
What advice would
you give new players?
Nicknames and reputations don’t go away easily.
What do you love
most about the game?
I love being able to go away for a weekend and leave all
the stress of life behind, also meeting and making new friends.
Who would you like
to see the next interview be with?
Sir Aengus/Joe fantasia
Anything else you'd
like to take the opportunity to put into print?
