Q. Do you feel relationships within games are meaningful? (Answer!)

A. WoW, just because it's awesome like that
Q. Other than your console or PC, what is the piece of hardware you can't live without? (Answer!)
A. Well first is of course my laptop, but other than that it'd probably be my car. Not that I like my car, but the fact that it's a car and can get me places, that's what makes it essential.

Q. Why do you join guilds or clans? (Answer!)
A. Because the point of an MMO is to play with others and have a social experience, which is what makes the game type so special

A. I don't know, because i probably overlooked it >.<
Q. In real life, are you male or female? (Answer!)
Q. How do you feel about selling virtual items for real money? (Do NOT advertise RMT services!) (Answer!)

A. Engadget and Facebook (and Gmail)... I don't do a lot of "browsing" on the web... oh and of course Google.
Oh, and Thottbot FTW
Q. What do you love or hate about PVP? (Answer!)
A. I like that PvP is always exciting and since the characters are closely-matched battles are always intense. The tendency for players in PvP to become very rude and vulgar puts me off it though

Q. When do you play, including timezone? (Answer!)

Q. Have you ever had a memorable real-life meeting with other gamers? (Answer!)
A. Not really, I think it'd be cool though
Q. What is a feature you would like added to GamerDNA? (Answer!)
A. A pictures page for the guild.. so I don't have to jury-rig a couple photobucket slideshows on a random page. Also automatic updating of toons would be nice..
Q. What sort of tools (calculators, builders, spreadsheets, etc.) do you use to plan your characters? (Answer!)
A. Haha, none so far, unless you count the one in my head.. I think it'd be fun to do that once maybe, but if that becomes a regular thing, you're taking it a little too seriously
Q. What are your favorite tabletop (RPG, board, miniatures, etc.) games? (Answer!)
A. Chess... that might not "technically" count, but it's the most awesome game ever. Risk, Strageto, and Monopoly.

A. LOL, no, not yet, and i doubt ever, but ya never know right?
Q. If you could cancel any online game, which would it be? (Answer!)
A. Um... not sure what kind of question this is.. like a "which online game do you like the least?" but I don't hold anything against players of other games, everyone has something they like, and if that game does it for them, I'm not gonna hate on it, just love WoW to death..
Q. Where did you get your gaming names from? (Answer!)
A. The deep dark depths of my mind, I like them to sound RPGish but they're not really based on anything, with the exception of my main, which is a drawn-out pseudo-translation of my first name written in Tolkien Tengwar (Sindarin) and transcribed back to western characters.
Q. What sort of players annoy you the most? (Answer!)
A. [n00b]"Can someone run me through SM?" "I need help with this quest...(2 min later) I need help with this elite, he's 5 levels above me"
[me] "What color is the quest?"
[n00b]"Red"
Q. What experience do you have beta-testing games? (Answer!)
A. None.. I think i'd rather just wait for the final version then dealing with a beta version and the bugs which come with it
Q. What are your thoughts on roleplaying in games? (Answer!)
A. It's a choice people can make if they desire, and that's what RP servers are for, I think it's taking the game a bit too seriously, but if it makes them happy, good for them

A. Game Empire, 500 games on 1 CD, had to boot it from Win95 command prompt
A. Yes, and I have a microphone

Q. How do you feel about playing characters of the opposite sex? (Answer!)
A. I do all the time, lol. I feel it's just part of the game, you can be whoever you want in-game and if that means someone of the opposite sex, I believe it's a healthy manifestation of a personal fantasy (that's what the game's all about after all)
Q. What question would you add to the Attitudes system? (Answer!)
A. Not sure... still new to the whole Guildcafe thing, it looks pretty comprehensive, if I think of something i'll add it, lol
Q. What are your thoughts on player-made mods/addons for games? (Answer!)
A. Definitely encouraged, nobody knows more what the players want than the players themselves. For stability and efficiency purposes though, it's always nice to have a true developer assisting with the actual implementation
