Today's Wot About You feature is Tuk! Currently Sei'taer Fourth and a Master in the Morat'raken clan, Tuk is a devout pker and a long time player of WoTMUD.
How long have you been a part of the WoTMUD community?
10ish years Id guess. I never payed much attention and I only played a few hrs per month at first, plus I've stopped playing for a couple 1-2 year long periods.
Tell us a bit about yourself irl. (for ex. age, sex, job, hobbies, anything not-WoT related.)
Im a 23 year old guy. I used to live at the beach and teach sailing while finishing my bachelors. I broke my neck around two years ago in a diving accident so I've had plenty of downtime since then while I do rehab. I used to really love the WoT series but over the years and re-reads it has lost it's flare. It'll always be among my favorite though.
Sweet or salty?
Salty!
Does your character name have any special meaning? If not, how did you choose it?
Sadly, like most of my characters, I traded for Tuk. I've never had much luck statting.
What is your most memorable "newbie" experience?
My most memorable newbie pk experience was blicking Kaliya malk on my first trolloc rogue. She proceeded to alt and chase me into keep and die, delivering 2 full kits to newbie me back when eq was actually rare. Granted, I gave a big chunk of it to Mendoze to trade for a heron because Im a nice guy, but it was pretty cool at the time I also remember the first time I logged on the mud: stumbled around for 10 mins, quit out and said screw that stupid game. Fell into it again 6 months or so later and got hooked.
What is your favorite part of the mud (for example: pk, rp, questing, smobbing)
Pk is what I do, mainly. I dont rp much at all and usually only quest for global quests. The only time I ever smob is to help other people re-eq.
What made you decide to join the Morat'raken clan?
It was/is the coolest clan on ss, duh!
What's the best thing about your clan?
The great atmosphere. It probably sounds elitist but the fact is that we are an exclusive clan and dont clan many people. We all get along and raken is the only clan I am in where I don't have to deal with idiots.
Why should people join your clan?
The cool people in it, the coolest clan base in the game, great rp, and of course the neat bonuses.
What should they know before they apply?
It isn't easy and it isn't quick. Everyone wants a raken and we get flooded with applicants who want to play for a few weeks and then move on. Put some time and effort into your character; it'll pay off. Play and be active and become known before you clan. Show some dedication and we'll respond.
What is your biggest accomplishment in the game?
I don't really have one. I've done most everything there is to do on wotmud: I've played nearly every character/bonus there is, I've been in most all clans I want to be in, I've mastered on all three sides, I've played a dl and a fade or two, and I've been on all three lists simultaneously.
What are your goals in the game?
Goals are what keeps any game fun. I've got a new character I'm working on that is fun and I'm debating taking an alt rank8 but I'm lazy :p
What, if anything, do you listen to while you pk?
I listen to a Pandora station that Santino unknowingly created for me. The base list consists of artists like Anberlin, Kings of Leon, Shinedown, Trapt, and 10 Years. It's stellar.
If you could change one thing about the mud, what would it be?
I'd put someone in charge who was more in touch with the playerbase and the game in general.
What advice do you have for newbies just starting out?
Go out and have fun. Explore, do different things, try different sides and characters. Expect to die (you will die a lot) and learn to re-eq by yourself because you won't always have help. That being said, don't be afraid to ask for help. Ask politely and genuinely and you can usually find someone to help you.
Thanks for taking a bit of time to share with us, Tuk! Check back on Friday to find out if Tuk is still Sei'taer Fourth in the Movers and Shakers portion of the Lifestyles of the Geared and Listed Friday feature!
