Player Interviews Great Lakes - Player Interviews - Luke Lady Lava's Questionnaire Todays guest is a simple man of many talents, the lively Luke. I had a grand time hunting with you, your beetle CRANKY and mare UNO the other day. Why the names CRANKY and UNO? I chose Cranky because beetles look like badasses who are pissed off when they walk and UNO so I could distinguish him from my other mare, deuce. On the topic of names ....does the name Luke have a special meaning for you? Absolutely not, Luke began as a fisherman, cook, and inscriber, a semi-mule.

Tell ya the truth I didn't. I picked it up off the shelf at the local electronics retailer and have been hooked ever since. What was the first type of character you made and where did you do your training? Well, he began as a swordsman killing lizardmen until I found out I could make 10 gp per iron ingot so he became a miner. I spent about the first 2 months playing uo mining the random patches of ore in Haven until I found out that you could mine the mountains too. Didn't leave Haven for about the first six months of playing uo. Wow, I was clueless. As a three year player you have had some interesting times in the realm.

While I was a 3 month player a man named MAGER, and yes I remember his name to this day, persuaded me to come to his fel home because he had a gift for me to help me get started as a new player. He asked me to attack him to see if I could defend myself in fel. Being the newb that I was I did. It took about 5 seconds for the players around the fel, brit moongate to give me an introductory gift, a gray screen.
