I tried to do Jedi\/BM, but when they put my tanking\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ff9900;\">heal at the bottom of the tree, I had to give up my narglatch. \u00a0I also had&#8211;at various times&#8211;a tailor, dancer\/image designer, and a medic\/BM. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ff9900;\">My jedi was my favorite because I really enjoy tanking, but my commando was a close second. Who doesn\u2019t love to set things on fire? Plus, my commando had pets!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>EiF<\/strong>: <span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">How many accounts did you own\/manage?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><b>Kelta<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">I had two accounts. They both started out as my then-boyfriend\u2019s \u00a0and then became mine. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ff9900;\">(He paid for them though, so I guess that made them technically his!)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>EiF<\/strong>: <span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">What type of gameplay style do you most enjoy?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><b>Kelta<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">I was and am mainly an RPer. Tanking during instances was a close second, and gunning during space events was third. I also enjoyed just playing the game. I loved exploring the planets, following the quest lines, and fighting with my various pets.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>EiF<\/strong>: <span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">What\u2019s a typical gaming session for you, what activities?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><b>Kelta<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">My gaming sessions vary. I have a tailor that I horribly neglect&#8211;when I get the crafting or decorating bug, I play her and start some wild scheme like creating a swimwear line! Mostly I hang out on my rangers and play with my pets. I spend a lot of my time hunting, taming babies, or running missions with my friends. I\u2019m slowly getting into the RP scene. I have lots of ideas and not so much with the time right now.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>EiF<\/strong>: <span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">What do you most enjoy about SWG?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><b>Kelta<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">I love the pets! \u00a0I usually run with a pack of cats, but the variety of species I can tame is awesome! \u00a0I enjoy ferreting out the new tamables that have been added and searching for the super rares. I\u2019m very excited that now I don\u2019t have to be a bio-engineer or have a ton of money if I want specific pets; all I have to do is go find them and tame them! Taming is probably my favorite change from the NGE.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>EiF<\/strong>: <span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">What do you enjoy most about Empire in Flames?<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><b>Kelta<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Cat mounts! xD<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s having all my friends gathered back together in one place and getting to see familiar names popping back up both in-game and on Discord, honestly. When Galaxies shut down, we tried to find another game that we could all make a home and nothing ever clicked. Now I have my closest friends back creating a game together, while other friends come back to check out and enjoy what is being created. And I\u2019m gaining new friends as well!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>EiF<\/strong>: <span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">When you are not ingame, what do you enjoy doing?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Kelta<\/span>:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ff9900;\"> Sleeping mostly. \ud83d\ude42 But I also enjoy cooking, baking, gardening, reading, writing, gaming, and spending time with my family.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>EiF<\/strong>: <span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">What do you do outside of EiF \/ do for a living?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><b>Kelta<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">I\u2019m a high school English teacher. ( 1) No, you won\u2019t hear me correcting your grammar. I only do that if I\u2019m teaching, you\u2019re a student, or you ask me to. 2)You probably have an urge to check for grammatical errors now. Go ahead. It\u2019s okay!)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>EiF<\/strong>: <span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">What is your role with EiF?

Pretty much, I offer suggestions when asked, serve as a sounding board as needed, enjoy playing the game, and point out bugs as I find them. Occasionally I make wild suggestions that are either shot down or considered. \u00a0I also yell \u201cShuttle\u201d whenever I miss them&#8211;which is frequently&#8211;and try to help the actual programmers remember to enjoy the game too.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ff9900;\">Oh, and I enjoy being a helper when I\u2019m in-game!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>EiF<\/strong>:<span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"> If you could have ANYTHING instantly in EiF, what would it be?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><b>Kelta<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Everything finished to the point where the team could play a bit more and my husband could RP with me!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>EiF<\/strong>: <span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">What gives you Developer\u2019s Crack?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><b>Kelta<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"> Ummm&#8230;Bringing one more person over the \u201cDark Side\u201d and watching them join the CH fold!
