II. Your Main Character
What is your highest character level in Star Wars: Galaxies?
Dew is CL 90, Verrak is a Master trader, as far as wow, only in the 20s with both of those
How did you choose your main character's name?
Well I started out in Gorath as Dewbacca, only joining Gorath as on a whim due to a buddy at work playing here, of course he quit long ago and I got stuck here with new freinds I had made. Well as things were added, and wookiees didn't get alot, I decided to reroll a human, Dew seemed like an ok Human name, and keeps me in touch with people that know Dewbacca.
What race and profession is your main character?
Dew is a Human Bounty Hunter
Dradalus is a Undead Warlock

Bounty Hunter...heck its the coolest profession in game, anyone can load up any other SW game and be a jedi, but who else gets to hunt and kill your fellow players
What faction is your main character?
Imperial, and more so, himself
III. Most/Least Favorites
What is your favorite player-owned ship? Why?
Still have a spot in my heart for the X-wing, ya I know, I am Imperial, but I grew up loving the X-wing, and I still do. Ones that I can actually fly? The Firespray.
What is your favorite ground vehicle? Why?
Cant say one stands out, game sorta still lacks in this area till I can pilot an AT-ST
What is your favorite expansion? Why?
Jump to Lightspeed, it's still what makes SWG a game better than most, it's the last thing they got right as well 
What is your favorite planet? Why?
Tatooine, first SW planet I saw in the movies, and where I landed as a noob.
Who is your favorite npc? Why?
I would have to say Iago is my favorite NPC, at times, he almost seems real.
What was your favorite Star Wars movie? Why?
Hmm tie between ESB and RotS, Empire showed the Imperials kicking butt, and well... so do RotS Nothing like Jedi suffering to warm my heart.
Who was your favorite character? Why?
Boba Fett, just because in the original Trilogy you didn't know anything about him, he seemed very cool, and even seemed to stand up to Vader in ESB...
Who was your least favorite character? Why?
Obi-wan, I mean come on....its all his fault 
What are the most credits you have ever spent on purchasing a single item for one of your characters?
About 3 million on a now useless pistol
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?
Umm, only about 3 houses full, too many to list, but as I said earlier, I am a loot junkie, I keep everything.
Describe your favorite period of Star Wars: Galaxies (Pre-CU, CU, NGE, etc.) and what you liked the most about it.
My BHG days, it was a blast, I was living the movies, I was bounty hunter scum, heated by hundreds, banned from cities across the galaxy, it was cool to play a bad guy, and have people react when you entered a room.
IV. Roleplay and MMO’s
What brought you to Role Playing (RP)?
Sepiv.
What other MMOs have you played?
SWG was the first, I have now tried Dark Ages and WoW.
What do you get out of playing Star Wars: Galaxies?
AT the moment, that's what I am trying to come to terms with
How did you get into Roleplaying? How long have you been an RP’er?
Again, Sepiv, it was in the Cantina on Coronet, I was defending her honor, and got wasted by 2 leet dudes, anyways, she rp'ed it out and I was hooked, although I still suck mostly
What was your favorite event or story arc? Describe your best RP experience from playing Star Wars: Galaxies?
I was really enjoying the Lady I arc, first one I helped push forward.
What do you like best about RP’ing? How would you “sell” roleplaying to someone that has never tried it before? What are the benefits?
It adds so much to the game, when there is nothing to do, or no new content to explore, you make your own. And its what this game is supposed to be, living the movies.
What type of RP ‘role’ do you prefer portraying with your character? What kind of RP story arc would you most like to be a part of?
I like being the bad guy, with a soft spot. But you have to dig for that soft spot.
What would you like to see more of when doing RP?
More Stormies, less rebels Oh and more combat, less worrying about death
If you could give a new player one bit of advice based on your game experiences, what would it be?
Remember its a game... when it starts to get to you, shut it off for a while and go read a book.
