Star Wars Galaxies: SWG Team Profile: Jason \"Pex\" Ryan

What is your real name? Jason Ryan.

What is your official title/position? I am the SOE Online Events Manager.

How long have you been working on SWG? Four years. I officially started on the project just after launch, though I was in the beta as well while working for another game company.

What profession do you like to play in SWG? I've been trying to branch out, but since I spent a lot of time as a doctor in the early years, I still tend to gravitate towards medic.

Why do you like that profession? I like being the "behind the scenes" player that others need in a time of crises.

What is it you like to do while in-game (PvE, PvP, exploring, etc)? I primarily socialize and roleplay. This ensures that I am not very good at the aforementioned profession.

Do you solo or play with others, why? Since I primarily roleplay, I need others around. When I'm out doing missions, I'll solo a lot because I tend to play a lot of very short sessions and I hate to join a group and leave it twenty minutes later.

Other than working on the game, what keeps you playing (or what is your favorite thing about the game)? I like the people. I like reading bios and listening to people improve. I like finding out about the RP storylines that they create. I like the energy that is created when a lot of Star Wars fans put their collective brains to making a plot or event and then acting on it.
