This month we will be interviewing: Moe and revitalize.
Let's start off with Moe...
gim deathkid: How do you find the time to do all these events during the weekend and still have such a social and entertaining life beside it? (Question by @
Moe: To answer your question Sheep, it's really a mix of planning & my good friends. Even though I host events on the weekend, we've been able to still go on beach trips, hang out at each other's houses, and go out to eat! It's part of my friend's routine to make sure I have a PC/Net anywhere we go, even if in a car. LOL
gim deathkid: What event do you enjoy the most?
Moe: If you asked me before LMS came out, it would definitely be Flower Poker. However it is for sure the current LMS system, and I'm excited for when we have both options!
gim deathkid: What is your next EIM grind now that you have obtained those green boots (rangers)?
Moe: I'm currently working on grinding raids and GWD gear, but I do have plans to eventually max out too.
gim deathkid: Can you give us any insights/teasers on some new events you have planned?
Moe: There has been recently a lot of PKers coming back, and I have some nice combo style pking coming soon!
gim deathkid: If you could travel anywhere in the world for free, where would it be and why?
Moe: South Korea/Japan hard choice between the two, I would love to enjoy that culture + advancements in technology too.
gim deathkid: What do you enjoy most about being Event Manager here on Alora?
Moe: The community, for sure. The amount of engagement I get with the boys ranges from fun at events to deep spiritual talks to casual raid nights is AWESOME! I couldn't ask for more .
Next up, revitalize!
gim deathkid: Tell us a little about yourself.
revitalize: Hi, I’m Branden I'm 20 years old and spend way to much time on the computer.
gim deathkid: What tip would you give someone starting an HC?
revitalize: Get graceful, And then start training hunter :).
gim deathkid: Tell us about a close-call that you’ve encountered on your HC.
revitalize: I’ve had so many close calls it’s kinda sad LOL, I got ring of lifed twice to vorkath.
gim deathkid: When do you plan on making your 6th Hardcore Ironman? (@11 wants to know).
revitalize: This is the last one (kappa) I’m very burnt out at the moment, been grinding Minecraft.
gim deathkid: What do you enjoy most about Alora?
revitalize: The Great comradery of Dynasty Clan, my family for life.
gim deathkid: If you could change one thing about Alora, what would it be?
revitalize: I would like to see the wilderness more active!
