'''So I grabbed my Reporter notebook and did a quick interview with one of our new Advisors..'''

 <br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Ludes</span>:   Hello<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Hekima</span>: Hi<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Ludes</span>: Thank you for coming..<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Hekima</span>:   My Pleasure..<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Ludes</span>:  So just a few questions for us Catskillians..<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Hekima</span>:  Ok<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Ludes</span>:  Tell us about your Ultima history…Did you play the single player games?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Hekima</span>:  No I didn’t actually play the single player games myself…  However I did have some friends in college that did..  It sounded like an interesting game..<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Hekima</span>:   But with studies, work, etc… I just never got to it.<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Ludes</span>:  When did you start UO?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Hekima</span>:  Long story there..<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Hekima</span>:  My ex wife had a friend who had a brother who beta tested EVERYTHING…<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Hekima</span>: So we opened our first account in April of 2000.. I had a toon on that account for a while.<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Hekima</span>: Back then it was a 5 toon limit.. and she wanted the last slot..  So I had to open a new account..<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Ludes</span>: So that was just a couple years out of beta?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Hekima</span>:  That was June or July of 2000  … Yes..  Her account opened just as Trammel went live..<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Hekima</span>:  My account opened just as the housing telestorming started…<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Ludes</span>:  Right after T2A?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Hekima</span>:  Yes<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Hekima</span>:  then I opened my third account in 2003..<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Ludes</span>: So you’ve been playing a while.. Tell me this.. How do you find our shard?  Friendly? Standoffish? Quiet ? Busy?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Hekima</span>:  Over the years I’ve not really spent much time on Catskills..  My main shard is Chesapeake..<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Hekima</span>:  The people that I’ve met in the last week are very nice, warm and welcoming..<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Hekima</span>: Several even offered to take me on their adventures or give me tours of their villages..<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Ludes</span>:  So as an Advisor..  what times are the best to see you around?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Hekima</span>: Generally in the evenings.. and on weekends…  I try to be on as much as possible..   but I like to run my {regular} characters too….<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Ludes</span>: Of course..<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Ludes</span>: So have you been tempted to make a character here on Cats and play here a little?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Hekima</span>:  Possibly… I do have toons here on Catskills mostly just for when I trade cross shard..<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Ludes</span>:  The local feeling on the Advisor program is good.. it makes people feel that Broadsword is taking a more “personal” approach to the players..<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Hekima</span>: It is my pleasure to assist…<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Hekima</span>:  *smiles*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Hekima</span>:  Remind everyone that they can contact me or Advisor Skeets by hitting the Help menu and clicking “Contact Advisor”<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Ludes</span>:  It was very nice chatting with you today Advisor Hekima… thank you very much..<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Hekima</span>:  You’re very welcome..
