Lady Lava's Questionnaire


How long have you been playing UO and how did you first hear of this game?
I have been playing UO for around a year now,I came to hearing of this game through my husband Sir Razmus who has been playing the game since 2000.

A player by the name of Zelda contacted me stating your house on the outskirts of Luna had just been redecorated and that I must see it.
How long have you had this house?

Zelda is Enola someone I met purely by chance and was an awesome person so I invited her to stop by my house and she thought it was amazing she said in all the time she had been playing it was one of the nicest houses she had seen on GL.I have had the house since approximately December. I was 3 houses down and my neighbour Rowena was selling it and the way she had customized it was beautiful. In fact I haven't changed much at all just decorated it to my liking. I have Rowena to thank a lot she has inspired me in many ways and now I'm always being asked to customize peoples homes. Just recently I did Zeldas new home and she is settling in well :)



I know Rowena very well and she is indeed a talented lady. There are many water features in your house. Why is that and do you have an attraction to water or water features in real life?
I love water features both in game and in real life. I truly believe in game that it makes a house shine with a water feature and some pretty flowers to set it off.

On your roof top you have a statue collection. How long have you been collecting these and were any of them gifts from other players?
I had been collecting these statues since December mainly off auctions or off vendors, I had a real liking for them. I wanted to have the complete collection and a lot of my Guild Members feel the same way too. I was given my Ettin statuette by Miki Mcnaughty as I helped one of her friends out when she was in need she knew I was collecting the statues so she gave me one to help complete my collection as a way of saying thanks.




Do you collect anything else in the realm?
In the realm I collect lots of roses and have no where to put them really, lol and my next venture is to get the new dolphin sculpture as I love dolphins and that would certainly have pride of place above my waterfall :)

Do you collect things in real life?
In real life I collect anything to do with Dolphins and animals ,animals are my life (and my kids of course) but animals inspire me, they have so much love to give .

Your house sign says " HF Guild ". What type of guild is this and who it the GM?
HF Guild is my Guild. I originally started out with one char on my husbands account a.k.a. Rhiane Bloodbane but I wasn't getting the full benefits of the game with just one character so I got my own account and created Rhiane Darkbane.Its a guild mainly about being friends looking out for one another and having fun afterall the guild name is HAVE FUN GUILD some people laugh at the title but my members dont. Each member who joined I made sure they had a house if they didnt have one already and I set them up with whatever they needed to get started in game.We have many tamers,mages and warriors and we go hunting do the Ilshner Champ Spawn together do Tmaps ,Nets but most of all we do not war nor go to Fel. I don't believe in bringing unhappiness to other people.

Rhiane Bloodbane is a powerful name. Why did you create a character with this name and what type of character is she?
When I first made Rhiane Bloodbane as previously mentioned was on my husbands account. Sir Razmus used to play with his cousin who used to go by the name of Trace Dragonbane namely part of the Bane family. Everyone in his cousins guild back then had a name with Bane in it of some sort.I don't really know what I was thinking of when I made the name back then lol I guess I was a new player and was thinking about nothing but killing back then but looking back I did find once u knew the game and once u got to know people it wasn't all about evil and killing which is why I formed HF once my husbands cousin stopped playing the game. Rhiane Bloodbane is a Mage/Tamer and my husband plays her now and I use Rhiane Darkbane who is a Tamer/Veteranarian.

Your home is full of very colorful plants. Do you grow plants in real life?
I love the colorful plants in game. They are another thing which I think is an ultimate part of decor in UO Homes but sadly no I have no interest for gardening in real life :)



What is your favorite color in the realm?
In the realm I love purple as u could see in my bedroom (hehe) and I also think Ice white looks awesome with it .

What is your favorite color in real life?
In real life it is purple too.Sorry to say I am a fool when it comes to purple, lol.

Who are your heros in real life?
In real life being English one of my heros was Lady Princess Diana for all the good she brought to our country and other countries.I believe she truly did a remarkable job while she was alive, always bringing good into peoples lives no matter what age they were.

Have you been hunting to get the " relics " in Tokumo which are part of the " Treasures of Tokuno "?
Yes I have been killing deathwatch beetles and got some of the new tomarties a.k.a. relics but I'm busy these days with gardening in game at my other home to supply a service to other people.

What is your favorite item in the realm?
In the realm I don't have one favourite item really I love it all but when it comes down to it I love my statuette collection the most but I couldn't choose just one. They all are lovely and make me very proud.

Earlier you stated that in real life you live in England. How does it effect your play time on Great Lakes?
In real life I do live in England (UK). It doesn't affect my playtime at all on Great Lakes really, I always get enough hours of gameplay each day and because I stay up til quite late I do get at least a couple of hours each day with my Guild Members.

What is your motto?
My motto would be to be safe,be nice to others but most of all HAVE FUN.
