Forum handle:   Bretuk
Main Character name:  Apocalyptic Moon
Server :  Intrepid
PA :  Serenity (SRNTY)

Where in the real life world do you live?
I live in Phoenix, AZ,  for anyone who doesn't know much about Arizona, we're about the hottest and driest state in the union.

How long have you played Star Wars Galaxies?
I've been playing since pub 6, way back in Feb 04.  So that puts me at just over 3 years.  I believe I picked up my 39 month vet reward a while back.

What other MMOs have you played?
I have played WOW, Vanguard, Everquest, and Ryzom.  They were all fun for a while but I just couldn't leave SWG.

How long is your typical gaming session when playing Star Wars Galaxies?
Normally about 3 - 6 hours a day.  Upwards of 12 on the weekends, if I don't have anything else going on.

What does a typical Star Wars Galaxies day consist of for you?
Wow, thats a big question.  I spend a lot of time in space with most of my characters.  I take plenty of time to further my crafters careers, checking for new resources spawns and winding up my factories.  My guild is almost always doing something, so I will take time to help out anyone who needs it.  Also I spend a lot of time just standing in one place, chit chatting with my
guildies and friends.

What was the race and profession of your very first character?
Ha ha, my very first character was a Twi'lek on Eclipse.  And as for his profession, I tried to do all of the basic profs with him pretty much.  I spent about 2 weeks on that toon to learn how the game worked then I deleted it and created the character that is now my Elder Jedi, Bre'tuk.

Who got you into gaming and what kind of games do you like ?
I can't really say who got me into gaming, I have been playing video games for 20 years now, got my start on the Atari, and have had many other consoles since then.  I would say my friend in high school got me started on the online gaming path when he introduced me to BBSing and Door games.  I prefer roleplaying games, but action/adventure games are great too.  Kind of stuck on SWG though for the moment, so I don't own a console currently.

Do you have any other hobbies then playing Star Wars Galaxies ?
I spend a lot of time camping up in the mountains where it's cooler. And being in AZ swimming is a necessity.  lol

What is your highest level Character in Star Wars Galaxies?
I have 4 cl 90's, 1 is a Jedi, then a Medic, and two traders, one Domestics and a Structures.

What race and profession is your main character ?
Well my Medic and my Jedi are my mains.  Both are level 90.  the Medic (Apocalyptic) is a human and the Jedi (Bre'tuk) is Zabrak.

What do you like the most about the profession you have chosen for your main
character ?
Hmm, well as far as Jedi goes, thats why I bought this game in the first place.  When I started back in the hologrinding days I was all about unlocking my FS character slot.  Of course then the whole FS system showed up, and it took me another 9 months to Unlock, but I won't give it up, no matter how nerfed people say it is.  My Medic toon really is that way to support my guild currently.  He was a Smuggler for a while, he's been a spy and even a commando, but nothing was more beneficial to my guild than medic.  I use him for Base Busting and quest support.

What faction is your main character and why ?
Well, up until recently both of my mains were Imperial, and had been since the day they were created.  The GCW changed that.  The guild I am in on Intrepid has always been a neutral guild, but we are rebel heavy not really being able to offer any type of GCW help to Imps.  So I changed my Medic first to Rebel, then when I brought Bre'tuk over from Ahazi, I left the Imps right away and went rebel with him.

What is your favorite ground vehicle?
I love my BARC, not one of those fancy Colonel BARCS, I have the Original, and to me it just screams class..  lol

What is your favorite player owned ship?
Oh man this is so hard to answer with just one ship.  I love all 3 of the ROTW ships (Vaksai, RGI, Adv X), but besides those I like the Oppressor, TIE Bomber, JSF, and all three types of the Heavy Variant starter ships.

Which professions in Star Wars Galaxies have you NOT played?
Officer is the only one of the current profs I have not even tried.

What is your favorite expansion?
Definately JTL, is the best thing SOE ever did for SWG.  Especially since before JTL shuttle times were 10 mins..  lol

What is your favorite planet and why?
Talus, I moved my Jedi there back when he was just a noob, and I have had all my toons there ever since..  I actually used to grind Bre'tuk in the lost aqualish cave there.

Which planet do you like the least?
It's a toss up between Kashyyk and Mustafar, Kashyyk because of the traveling restrictions (no getting there as the crow flies) and Mustafar because before I got my lava skiff, it took ffffoooorrrreeeevvvveeeerrrr to get anywhere.

Which expansion do you like the least?
ToOW, Really it didn't seem really well planned, how could they leave out Mustafar space?  I mean really guys.

What is the most credits you have ever spent on purchasing a single item for one of your characters?
Oh this was just recently, I spent 25 mill to buy a deeded rancor for when chap 6 hits live.

What do you like best about Star Wars Galaxies ?
It's definately the people, I enjoy logging in everyday and having good people to chat with and kill things with.  Not to mention I love helping people out, I am always answering questions about things to newer people.

Describe your best experience playing Star Wars Galaxies
I would say the day I unlocked Jedi.  I had so many people there to help me with the FS exit quest, and then I was able to complete my Padawan trials in 2 days.  The first time I held that lightsaber in my hand, I felt I had finally achieved the goal I was always seeking in this game.  Of course then I had to start the Jedi grind..  lol

What type of pets  do you have  ?
In game?  Nothing yet but I will have a Rancor once I have gotten my enzymes processed properly, I want him coming out perfect. In RL, two Boston Terriers, they are bouncy, excited little guys all the time.

Do you run or work for a Star Wars Galaxies Fan Site?
Nope sure don't, between working, and going to school for my BA in Game Design, I really don't have time to run a site.

Who is your best friend in the game ? And did you have any apprentice. Or have you been a mentor for someone ?
Hmm, no real one best friend, I consider my whole guild my best friend.  I have had many "apprentices", you ask my guild about it and I am sure they can tell you how much I try to help all of them.

Do you run a PA ?
I am not a guild leader, but in SRNTY I am a guild counselor, you know, GL's right hand man, I am there to make decisions in his place if need be.

What type of work do you do in real  ?
I'm a Sparky, yep thats right I electrocute myself to make money..  lol  I'm an Electrician, and full time student.

Do you want to greet in this interview anyone of your IGN and Real life friends ?
Hello to all of SRNTY guild, you guys rock.
