Where in the real life world do you live? I live in Waterford , Michigan.

How long have you played Star Wars Galaxies? I have played since launch and survived the AFK spamming of Coronet.

What other MMOs have you played? I played EverQuest for a week and The Matrix Online for a month, but Star Wars Galaxies has been the one and only MMO I could get into at all.

What type of work do you do? Once I finish my degree at Lawrence Technological University, I hope to make it into the gaming industry.

How long is your typical gaming session when playing Star Wars Galaxies? I play roughly 1-3 hours every week day and 4-8 hours during the weekends, school and fiancée permitting. Oh, and on the forums 24/7.

What does a typical Star Wars Galaxies day consist of for you? Basically helping people in my guild with information about the game is where I begin. I do a lot of testing with combat also as some of you know. I like to play with damage and armor and get a better feel for the math behind the game. I also spend most of my time on the forums helping new and old commandos with the profession and also providing general constructive discussion about the present and the future of the game.

What was the race and profession of your very first character? Ha ha, my first character was a Wookiee marksman, until I realized I couldn’t wear armor and quickly went to a human marksman that developed into my sacred commando.

What got you into gaming and what sort of games do you like the most? What got me into gaming was the pseudo-reality it created. Once I started gaming, my imagination and creativity grew and I was able to create my own worlds better. My imagination means everything to me and gaming has always been there to expand my creativity.

What other hobbies or activities do you take part in, other than playing Star Wars Galaxies? I play Kingdom Hearts a LOT . I dabble in a bit of guitar and piano on the side when I am bored. I am also a thrill seeker - I love roller coasters and really want to skydive. I also write up designs for video games I would like to create one day.

What is your highest character level in Star Wars Galaxies? I have 5 level 90 toons and 1 lvl 22 character that I started up to play with Chapter 6 changes from the ground up.

What race and profession is your main character? My trusty human commando.

What do you like the most about the profession you have chosen for your main character? Commando has always had a part of me. Every game before this, I always picked the “Demolitions Brute”. A minor pyromaniac if you will… commando has always been unique to me in this game and adds a nice twist to combat. It’s suffered a lot with changes over the years but I always have fun blowing things up.

What faction is your main character? I am loyal to the Rebellion.

What is your favorite player owned ship? I’d have to say the Yacht as I do not travel to space often.

What is your favorite ground vehicle? Definitely my Commander Barc or AT-RT.

How did you choose your main character’s name? My character was originally created for my fiancée, but she stopped playing after a week so I continued it for her. I haven’t stopped yet.

Which current professions in Star Wars Galaxies have you NOT played? I have not been an engineer. That is the only profession I have not played.

What is your favorite expansion? My favorite expansion is Trials of Obi-Wan. The difficulty of the missions and the planet itself is very fun for me.

What is your favorite planet? I love Rori. I have been hanging around that planet for 4 years now and I am glad Restuss blew up to give me more of a reason to hang around.

What is your favorite NPC? My favorite NPC will have to be the Emperor’s Holo, especially when it kills me.

Which expansion do you like the least? Jump to Lightspeed is my least favorite. I never got into space that much.

Which planet do you like the least? I like Yavin IV the least. There is not enough of a reason to hang around there, unfortunately.

Which NPC do you like the least? 2-1B Surgical Droid. Nothing worse than getting the too tired response when trying to quickly heal cloning sickness before that cloner camping bounty hunter gets you.

What are the most credits you have ever spent on purchasing a single item for one of your characters? I think it was 45 million for a jetpack base as a gift to one of my friends.

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? A backpack full of old commando consumables. I always keep that around for the sake of memories. Oh, and also my Maroj Melon.

What do you like best about Star Wars Galaxies? I love the community and dedication of some of the players and developers. The fact that you can engage in a conversation with a developer over the current and future state of this game and actually take part in feedback about what to add is amazing in my eyes. Knowing I contributed to something that went into the game makes me feel good.

What do you get out of playing Star Wars Galaxies? A sense of involvement and knowing I can help someone. If I can help someone better understand this game or a profession, my day is complete.

Describe your best experience playing Star Wars Galaxies? The best experience is contributing to the commando community. I’ve made many friends and a few enemies with my ramblings and suggestions but all in all, I have the best time helping and creating discussions about this game to work for a better future as best as a simple subscriber can do.

Do you run or work for a Star Wars Galaxies fan site? No I do not, but I do run my guilds forums at www.SBAguild.net.
