A. Warhammer Fantasy Battle.</p><p >Go High Elves!
Q. If you could meet any game developer, who would it be? (Answer!)
A. The entire team from EA Mythic developing Warhammer: Age of Reckoning. I want to take my High Elf army to Virgina and lay some Asur smackdown on them.
Q. Are you interested in working within the game industry? (Answer!)
A. I'd love to have a job in the gaming industry. I'm just not sure where I'd fit in.
Q. Beside GamerDNA, what are your favorite websites? (Answer!)
A. My guild's site. Only-WAR. And a couple of Web comic sites.
Q. What are your thoughts on roleplaying in games? (Answer!)
A. I think it's great personally. I RP sometimes if I'm in the mood.
Q. How do you feel about playing characters of the opposite sex? (Answer!)
A. I don't see a problem with it. Over the last few years, I've started having a concept behind a character. Sometimes, a male character just really doesn't fit the concept so I roll up a female character. Sometimes I do it for gameplay purposes. I had a female Infiltrator in DAoC because I could make them smaller visually than a male character. My Hunter in WoW was a male Tauren. A female just didn't fit the concept I wanted on my Hunter at all. And there wasn't any gameplay difference between the male and female Tauren in WoW.
Q. What experience do you have beta-testing games? (Answer!)
A. Mostly just from stress testing, but I've actually been involved in quite a few Closed Beta tests over the past 4 years. I enjoy it because I know my contributions are going to help improve the game, either through directing the development team to a bug or exploit or through some usability improvement.
Q. Why do you join guilds or clans? (Answer!)
A. I joined the guild I've been with since 2001 because I can't take on the same kind of challenges I can when I have friends with me. And we've taken on some hairy stuff in the games we've played over the years.
Q. If you could cancel any online game, which would it be? (Answer!)
A. I can't honestly say I'd close down any game. Though closing down certain ones could be considered a good thing for the MMO industry, I look at it from a different perspective. If you close down an MMO, you just threw a whole bunch of people into unemployment. It sucks to have work you spent years doing just be tossed out.
Q. Do you feel relationships within games are meaningful? (Answer!)
A. Absolutely. The friendships I've developed with my guild members over the past 7 years very much are real and meaningful.
Q. What are your thoughts on player-made mods/addons for games? (Answer!)
A. Depends heavily on the game and on what said mod does. </p><p >Some of the UI mods I used in WoW were absolute must haves because the default UI was atrocious. Other mods used to gain unfair advantages in highly competitive PvP oriented games hurt the game tremendously. The Radar app in DAoC was one of the worst. Aimbots in FPS games ruin them.
Q. What are your most memorable achievements in a game? (Answer!)
A. My most memorable achievement was when my guild cleared The Hole with a single group when we were told over and over it couldn't be done. I also remember fondly when my guild took down Innoruuk and Cazic Thule for the first time after they were buffed up. I fondly remember the first time we took a Level 2 Keep in Hadrian's Wall in DAoC with 7 people.
Q. What are the proper uses of tank guns and bubblegum? (Answer!)
A. Rollin biatches of course!
Q. What do you love or hate about PVP? (Answer!)
A. I love the competition between players. The competition is the whole reason I played baseball, football and hockey while growing up. Competition is what drives a person's desire to excel.
Q. How do you feel about selling virtual items for real money? (Do NOT advertise RMT services!) (Answer!)
A. Despise it. It cheapens the work traditional players put into the game and it forces those players to have to work two or even three times as hard to compete.
Q. What sort of tools (calculators, builders, spreadsheets, etc.) do you use to plan your characters? (Answer!)
A. Excel Spreadsheets, Character Template applications, Skill calculators. I'm not hugely into min/maxing but at the same time I am very competition driven so I refuse to just fly by the seat of my pants when developing my characters.
Q. What do your characters and avatars usually look like? (Answer!)
A. No specific look to them, though I do lean towards a dark crimson and silver coloring scheme if that is available to me.
Q. If you could bring any book, movie or comic to life in a game, which would you choose? (Answer!)
A. It's already being done. I've wanted to play in the Warhammer universe ever since I got my first High Elf army in 1995.
Q. Do your quiz results on GamerDNA reflect your personality, and if not, what did it get wrong? (Answer!)
A. It's mostly correct. However, a couple questions didn't have an answer for what I'd actually perform in a given situation so I had to go with the closest response.
Q. What sort of players annoy you the most? (Answer!)
A. One's that always take the easy way out of a situation. You never get to learn about what you and your group can do if you don't push yourselves.
Q. What is your first computer or video gaming memory? (Answer!)
A. Playing the tank game on my Atari when I was a youngin'.
Dark Age of Camelot (PC)
