I've not played a lot of MMOs, but the ones that have stuck with me are Hellgate London, Guild Wars (Nightfall and Factions), and Cabal online.

What type of work do you do?

I work in a supermarket as a supervisor on the produce department. It pays fairly well and is a fun job to work in, minus the customers.

What got you into gaming and what sort of games do you like the most?

What got me into gaming was my old AMIGA. I used to play games like Cannon Fodder and Lemmings. It was my first gaming platform was a great experience. Having to load games from floppy disks may seem outdated now, but it was a great experience for me and shaped my gaming for the future.

The games I like to play the most are First person shooters and action/adventure games. Currently I own a PS3 and have enjoyed a lot of great games on it, such as Resistance fall of Man and Little Big Planet. While I enjoy action games the most I tend to play anything which is ground breaking and catches my eye.

What other hobbies or activities do you take part in, other then playing The Matrix Online?

I used to train in Karate and I am currently thinking about taking it back up again. I got to blue belt before I had to quit due to moving away from home. I also enjoy going out for a drink with my friends and listening to music, mainly rock and metal.

What is your highest character level in The Matrix Online?

Currently my highest level character is 50.

How or why did you choose your main character's name?

My main character was actually a spelling mistake. When I first started playing, my broadband connection or PC wasn't that great. When I was trying to type my name it wasn't displaying, so I hit enter and that's the name it stuck with. After figuring out how to pronounce it, it's stuck; even my friends call me Aracher now.

What Branch (Coder, Hacker, Operative) and ability tree is your main character?

Aracher is currently using a gunslinger loadout, consisting of abilities from all of them, thanks to ExternalError for the build.

Why did you choose the Branch and ability tree that you did?

Originally, my character was a Kung Fu Grandmaster, but I got bored of the tree and decided to try something new. I tried many different trees but Gun's caught my eye for the brilliant motions of fighting with the guns in and out of interlock.

Is your main character in a crew, if so, what rank is the character?

Yes, I am on the Crew True Grave and I am its captain.

Is your main character in a faction, if so, which one and what is their faction rank?

My main character is in Pluribus Neo, I am part of the Rank 1 council who leads the faction.

What was your favorite chapter?

My favorite chapter was Chapter 8, the breaking of the truce really brought EPN to the fore front. It really gave me a chance to develop aracher as a character. For a long time he never believed that the truce was true to Neo's idea, so when it broke he was finally free from another form of control. As a person aracher really changed after that, his youthful out look on things became bitter and twisted, and he no longer cared about who his target was as long as they died. This was all down to the events of chapter 8.

What is your favorite neighborhood?

Ikebukuro, the board walk is a fantastic place to just sit and think. When the sun rises it can turn everything a beautiful shade of pink and looks amazing in screen shots.

Who is your favorite NPC?

My favorite NPC is Sunshine the Ikebukuro contact. She has such an unhealthy cheerful disposition to everything and it makes me smile about how she can be happy even in the darkest times

The most $info I ever spent at one time was 100 million on a Zion outpost key.

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?

Sadly I don't have any items that are no longer useful. I missed a lot of the Assassin event due to a lack of internet access and I missed many great items.

What do you like best about The Matrix Online?

What I like best about MxO is the freedom it allows me when role playing with other characters. The Matrix Online community is a great group of people and there is a lot of talent within it, being a part of something like that is a fantastic experience.

How would you describe your best experience playing The Matrix Online?

My best experience playing MxO was sitting in Apollyon South-East hardline (Scarlet Primes home hardline at the time) and hearing an unknown voice counting down and a code bomb going off at my feet. Calling my faction friends together we fought the Assassin and nearly managed to kill him. I loved how it just happened and I managed to be there, from that point on I was well and truly hooked

Do you run or work for an MxO Fan Site or Radio Station?

No, I do not.
