What's you character name and how did you come up with it?
Hi, my character name is GARTAGUEUL. It comes from a funny French play with words. It helped me to find some french friends on my first MMO, Everquest. Later on when I joined Forsaken Realms, I catched Gartblabla as nickname since some guildies had trouble to spell my name (Not because I talk a lot!). Also had an other one but you have to find it :)
I use GART as surname on current MMOs.
How old are you?
I am 31 and I am doing better than ever!
Where do you live?
I live in Dijon, in France. A place that love drinking good burgundy wines and quality food.
What MMO do you play at the moment?
Even if I loved the Rift launch, didn't had more to spend as casual. So no MMO so far :(
Any other games currently?
Coop games mainly. Portal 2, TF2, BF3, a bit of Warhammer DoW II and StarCraft 2
What was your first computer game ever?
Monkey Island !!!
What was your first multiplayer online experience?
I did serial gaming with Command & Conquer + Doom, then Lan with Duke Nukem 3D. Online, was QuakeWorld with TeamFortress1 in 1998!
What was your first MMO?
Everquest in 2000.
What is your favorite snack while gaming?
I try to eat before long gaming night. During play a home made cappuccino and baked cookies :)
When/How did you join Ginnunga?
December 2001. My rebellious french mind gave hard time to the officers. Damn, was good back then.
I first joined "Les Korrigans", a mainly french EU Guild on Everquest. Back then, I was the little one in the guild and all other were able to start "raiding" with other guilds such as Ginnunga. I was always reading the /GU during raids and I started to imagine the others. Plan of Hate and Plan of Fear was such a big deal back then. Lots of legendary tales were going on about the Ginnunga Leader, Merkez... And one day, like a god that banned Adam and Eve from Paradise, Laurent Disbanded Ginnunga. Took me few years to get the why :)
Tell us your most memorable mmo moment?
I do have lots good moments from Everquest Era. 2 in minds:
I remember receiving a SMS for a call to arms at 1pm for VT. We were racing against Team Japan at that time for the Luclin end zone.
2nd : Our first Seru kills. Almost 1 hour of fight because most of our melees didn't had the right weapon. All dps from caster. Necro was pumping all their mana juice to cleric. Magician was pooping Rods for cleric mana regen and those crazy basterd Chain CH the MT (Gwarg if I am right). AWESOME
Tell us something nobody in the guild knows about you.
Sorry, I don't eat Snails or frogs.
