How long have you been playing?
How long have you been playing?
Long time, beyond older than dirt at this point. started
with Midrealms in 1986 but was only hitting 1-2 events a year till 1992-now.
Most years I hit 20-40 events+-.
How has the game
changed since you've been playing?
There have been lots of changes when I first started
there was no scalping it did not exist... around 92-94 you could scalp if you
carried a scalp... Spell changes, Archery changes: we used Fluflu arrows, then
gulf tubes and arrows like magic missiles were active till they stopped moving.
People's responsibility level has lowered quite a bit.
Who have you
learned the most from?
That is a hard one: so many people for different
thing Tim Gilkes, Kathy Journeay for eventholding, Terry Armstrong ,
Jarrod Marshal and Scott Rodlin for fighting, But I learn new stuff all
the time. Learned a bunch of new stuff at the Highbridge event in
March...
What was your best
moment IC?
Saving/recovering Lady Dee from Oberon, had to go into a
spiderweb area and drag her out because she was sleep poisoned, I got attacked
by a unsele fay with magic missiles it was like playing tennis smacking them
with my axehead into the woods as they were thrown... A very good
day...(questing team had Cinnibar, Dalimar, Radstar, PJ I think and a few
others...)
What was your best
moment as a NPC/EH/Player?
Well that is a love hate thing I guess, The Goblin
King.. was planned to be a 8 hour npc that lasted 8 years... Things got pretty
crazy, everyone wanted to teach him their spells some one gave him a genie
bottle and someone else gave him the cork ,genie shamans ...so, so
crazy....Still have darklore verbals stuck in my head...
What would you like
to see changed or developed more in game?
STOP messing with the spells/system we need to just leave
it alone at this point.. I would like to see Archery go back to where it
was 12 years ago. Develop a better way for players to have interaction
with the EH meeting without EH interference at their meeting...
What advice would
you give new players?
The game is as much fun as YOU want it to be.. sometimes
you have to make your own fun..but that should not take away from others fun..
What do you love
most about the game?
The Community aspect of the game both IC and ooc..
Who would you like
to see the next interview be with?
Paul Swanson aka Swan.... OR Joe Sims
Anything else you'd
like to take the opportunity to put into print?
The game can be pretty amazing if you let it be...
