What does a typical Star Wars: Galaxies day consist of for you? When I first log in to the game the first hour or two is generally spent working on my guild Hotties of Bria (HOB), answering mails and such. Depending on my mood that day, I either head to the cantina to give buffs /image designs and hang out with my guild or if there is an event coming up, I can usually be found decorating for that. I also have 3 other characters on Bria, a Tailor, a Jedi, and a Droid Engineer. Sometimes, I get online with my Jedi. I meet up with my in-game husband, firebat, and we go out looting to fund the next party. If the mood hits me, I sometimes craft clothing.

What was the race and profession of your very first character? My first was a Human/ Entertainer.

What got you into gaming and what sort of games do you like the most? My ex in real life got me into SWG. He kept telling me to give it a try until one day I decided to sit down and try SWG. I have been hooked ever since.

What race and profession is your main character? My main character is a Human/Entertainer.

What do you like the most about the profession you have chosen for your main character? I love being an Entertainer for many reasons. First, is the social aspect of it.

The fellow Entertainers I have met are some of the nicest people in game.

What is the most credits you have ever spent on purchasing a single item for one of your characters? I spent 30 million on one of my night-sister bicep armbands.

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? I keep all of my bio-engineered pets wherever I go - they act as decorations. A couple of the pets were made by friends who no longer play the game so I like to keep them around.

What do you like best about Star Wars: Galaxies? I love the social aspect and being able to meet people from around the world. I also like traveling in-game and running into something in the middle of nowhere that I have never seen before.

What do you get out of playing Star Wars: Galaxies? Because I am a social creature by nature, I enjoy meeting new people. Also, I love planning and holding events such as parties, fishing derbies, etc. I absolutely love my guild Hotties of Bria and the group of people we have in it. It is incredible to me that you can form such a bond or family with strangers from around the world based on one thing - a love of Star Wars. A lot of people thank me for the events I put on, but without my guild and my co-leaders Perah and Jasa, I would never have been able to do it. I also have to thank Pex who makes the greatest decorations for our events. At the end of the day or night when the events are over, I get satisfaction from knowing that I showed people 1) another aspect of SWG that did not include combat and 2).that the Entertainer profession is more than just standing in Mos Eisley AFK (away from keyboard).

Describe your best experience playing Star Wars: Galaxies? Each and every player-run event I organize and execute is a 'best experience' for me. [p]Do you run or work for a Star Wars: Galaxies Fan Site? Our guilds website is: Hotties of Bria.
