How long have you played Golemizer?
1 year, 1 month, and five days to date (this date being Feburary 5th 2010). I started on January 1st of 2009 so it's easy to keep track lol

How did you learned about Golemizer?
I went web surfing on new Years day and the "no-download" caught my eye. I started playing and got hooked almost immediately. Now i can't stop playing and I just love this game lol


How many hours per week do you spend in Golemizer?
I'd say around 35-40 lol. 60-70 on a homeworkless week XD


As a gamer, how would you describe yourself?
An explorer. I spend most of my time exploring, doing quests, editing wiki, searching wiki, and overall learning more and more about the game.

Which other games do you play or have you played?
I play Facebook apps (one I would recommend is Ghost Trappers), tpmrpg.net (recommended for pokemon fans), and Freesky (I would not recommend this one. I don't plan to play it for very long).

How would you describe Golemizer to someone that never heard of it before?
An amazing unique game that you can do virtually whatever you want in. You can do quests, create monsters, fight monsters with monsters you created, decorate stuff, and even create a city (tho I would not recommend doing so immediately)


What would be the best advice you could give to a new player trying to find his way in Golemizer?
Read the wiki and visit the Museum Of Rare Items at -4,-3.


You seem quite involved in Golemizer through the wiki and the museum you maintain in the game. What drove you to play a more active role in the community?
I love this game and wanted to do what I could to help


Would you say that you being an active member of the community is actually a way to play the game? (instead of focusing on combat or being a merchant)
Yes, very much so. I may be an active member but I do so by playing the game. Wiki updates = information found through game-play. Stuff in the museum is also acquired through game-play. Everything in it was acquired through different forms of combat, questing, and being a merchant. Being an active member means just doing everything!


How do you consider Golemizer as sandbox game compared to other games?
You can do whatever you want! There are simple rules you follow like safe language and no cheating but otherwise you can freely do whatever you want.


What does a typical Golemizer day consist of for you?
Editing wiki, adding stuff to the museum, creating items and/or golems, and maybe a quest or two. When I'm not doing that stuff, I'm helping a newb, answering questions, and/or just randomly chatting with other players

What do you enjoy most about Golemizer?
The freedom to do whatever you want. Donating isn't a necessity (like it is in most games) to be successful. You don't even have to download anything! It's easy to access, super fun, and you just can't help yourself but keep playing.


What was your favorite game update? Why?
It was the Patch 26.6. I love the addition of trains into the game. it made travel easier and exploring simpler


Any funny or memorable moment in Golemizer you want to share?
I love too many moments that happened playing this game to mention just one random one lol (AKA I can't distinguish them all :/)


Other Random Stuff:
2D graphics are not bad, In a way, they are very good. Lessens lag, makes it easier on your computer, and makes is much simpler to add stuff to coding (from what I have been told anyway). Stop hating on the game because it's not 3D!

Any screenshots of your character, house, dungeon or city you want to share?
