Where in the real life world do you live? "Somewhere over the rainbow... waaay up high!"

How long have you played Star Wars Galaxies? 4 years.

What other MMOs have you played? None! Isn't that weird!?

What type of work do you do? I am a student!

How long is your typical gaming session when playing Star Wars Galaxies? All depends; the weekdays are kind of short and the weekends can be up to a few hours.

What does a typical Star Wars Galaxies day consist of for you? Well, I start off by checking my mail because my city hall is the most nagging friend I have, and is always complaining or congratulating me. Then after that I will look around my city and see what needs decorated! I am a decorative type person that has to try and finish decorating every house and city structure I own and don't own. Then after I have tried decorating a few things I will talk to some people, and then go shopping on some local vendors for decorating supplies. After all that I might log off or repeat from the beginning.

What was the species and profession of your very first character? A Twi'lek and she was a smuggler! She didn't smuggle much but it was an interesting time.

What got you into gaming and what sort of games do you like the most? G aming started a LONG time back and that is way too long a story to explain. The games I like to play vary. There is obviously Star Wars Galaxies and some RTS games, role-playing games like Knights of the Old Republic , and The Sims! If you know me in game, The Sims honestly shouldn't be a BIG surprise considering that all I do is decorate and party!

What other hobbies or activities do you take part in, other than playing Star Wars Galaxies? I do lots of youth activities for church and I am in some school stuff so that keeps me busy when not playing Star Wars Galaxies.

What is your highest character level in Star Wars Galaxies? This is embarrassing but my highest combat character is I think 45ish and is a Bounty hunter. I don't even have this character on Valcyn so it's kind of embarrassing that I haven't even got above 50 in like the 3 years I had her.

As for non-combat that is my entertainer, who is level 90, and also embarrassingly enough that took at least a year to get level 90. When I first joined Star Wars Galaxies I was more interested in exploring the galaxy and all the mysteries it had to offer and was hardly ever in the cantina. Then after a while I decided I should probably master entertainer if I want to make travel money.

What species and profession is your main character? Sipam is a Twi'lek who is an entertainer by profession and a storyteller as a sub-profession.

What do you like the most about the profession you have chosen for your main character? Being an entertainer gives me the freedom to almost be whatever I want. Sometimes I will want to have fun entertaining people and sometimes I could go for a good instance. Now granted I usually don't do well in instances, but there are a few good stories where I survived the Tusken King (how I did that I don't know I was lagging the whole time). And then sometimes I just want to walk around as a citizen and not always have to carry a weapon.

What faction is your main character? Sipam is Imperial and has been since I could remember. I picked the Empire because I liked the way their ships looked and just the whole thing, and Vader was there choking me at the same time, so it wasn't a hard decision.

What is your favorite player owned ship? Now that is a toughie... NOT. The neutral gunboat looks fantastic and has so much detail and I just really like it. I however can not drive it because the Empire does not offer driving permits for such a vehicle in space.

What is your favorite ground vehicle? My trusty AV 21 is always nice but lately I have seen some interesting vehicles, and I just don't know which one would be my favorite anymore!

How did you choose your main character's name? I pressed the random button for the first name, and Doby comes from something in school a while back. And it's pronounced like Dobby from the Harry Potter series. I am not a Harry Potter fanatic, but that's where it came from.

Which current professions in Star Wars Galaxies have you NOT played? Spy, medic, officer, some traders, and commando.

What is your favorite expansion? I would have to say... no idea.

What is your favorite planet? Naboo.

What is your favorite NPC? Jawas! They sell the nice stuff.

What are the most credits you have ever spent on purchasing a single item for one of your characters? Hmmmmm, I think it was 1 million on a wroshyr tree. I got a good deal on it!

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? How about everything I own? I have houses full of stuff I forgot I had. But if you must know the one item is I guess it would be my noob outfit, the clothes I first started out in. I don't know why I keep them because I don't think I will ever wear them again, but it's there.

What do you like best about Star Wars Galaxies? The ability to build cities, decorate houses, and really put a personal touch on everything. I also really like the storyteller ability! I have a fun time decorating in all sorts of places. I decorate for the Yivvits and MrBubble parties, and in the past I have decorated for both Pex events on our server. (Of course there was always help for the Pex events and the people who helped deserve as much credit as I do.) I also served on the Valcyn Homecoming Committee and decorated for that and helped with the planning. I have also done some odd events here and there and just had some good fun with it.

Describe your best experience playing Star Wars Galaxies. The best experience? You really can't go through all of it and pick one! I have to say 99% of it was my best experience with Star Wars Galaxies.
