What type of work do you do? I am a high school student.

How long is your typical gaming session when playing Star Wars Galaxies? Hmmm, usually I will play for 4-5 hours during the summer, but the rest of the year, maybe 2-3 hours a day.

What does a typical Star Wars Galaxies day consist of for you? I usually will check my vendors, then I will run some missions to help get Reverse Engineering Stuff, then I will RE or PvP. I usually like to hunt down credit farmers for the last hour or so - it's a lot of fun!

What was the race and profession of your very first character? My very first character was a human male. He started out as a brawler/marksman but eventually ground up to Master Creature Handler/Master Rifleman with xxx4 combat medic.

What got you into gaming and what sort of games do you like the most? I guess I first got into gaming when my dad bought me a PlayStation for Christmas. I really enjoy RPGs (Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Zelda, etc) and one of my all time favorites, Metal Gear Solid.

What other hobbies or activities do you take part in, other then playing Star Wars Galaxies? Besides Star Wars Galaxies, I go to school, swim, travel around Asia, and practice kendo (Japanese fencing).

What is your highest character level in Star Wars Galaxies? My highest level character is currently level 90.

What race and profession is your main character? My main character is a male human and profession is a Beast Master medic.

What do you like the most about the profession you have chosen for your main character? I really enjoy Medic because it allows me to stand in the back and heal those who need it. I never really did like always dying, so I choose to stay in the back and keep people alive, and let my pets do the talking.

What faction is your main character? He has always been and will always be Imperial.

What is your favorite player owned ship? My favorite player owned ship is my VT-49 Decimator.

What is your favorite ground vehicle? My favorite ground vehicle is probably my original Barc Speeder.

How did you choose your main character's name? Haha, well, I didnt know there was a name generator so I tried to come up with a Star Wars-y name.

Which current professions in Star Wars Galaxies have you NOT played? None, I have played them all, both on Test Center and live.

What is your favorite expansion? The Kashyyyk expansion. I had so many good memories there. Huge groups doing Necrosis or the Ryatt Trails. It really brought people together.

What is your favorite planet? My favorite planet is Naboo; it is majestic and very scenic.

What is your favorite NPC? My favorite NPC would have to be Darth Vader. I like to watch people slap him and get incapped instantly.

Which expansion do you like the least? I did not enjoy Trials of Obi-Wan. It is way too dark and the graphics from the planet make my computer slow; they also look kind of funny. It also reminds me of a certain time in which I do not enjoy very much. The quests were a lot of fun though.

Which planet do you like the least? Mustafar, I don't like darkness and buggy textures on Mustafar.

Which NPC do you like the least? I do not like Luke Skywalker. He looks like a bad model out of the 50s. He is just annoying, and when two spawn, I tend to just...stay away. His troopers are also very hard to kill.

What is the most credits you have ever spent on purchasing a single item for one of your characters? The most I spent was 250 million on a Nightsister Melee Armguard.

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 my pre-NGE creature tamer suit to remember all my good times as a creature handler.

What do you like best about Star Wars Galaxies? I like the immersion and community. I feel like I have a second life in game and I have a lot of friends I can talk to.

What do you get out of playing Star Wars Galaxies? I get a source of enjoyement. I would be very bored without SWG. Korea has only so many things to do.

Describe your best experience playing Star Wars Galaxies? My best experience would be when I was basebusting when I first joined the game. It was on Lok, and we were getting killed while the music on Lok was playing. It was easily the coolest moment in game for me.
