One of the few older players left from the motherland of Rox, who’s an honest and sincere player, and a good friend to
talk to. You won’t expect him to back down from anything on the fields. The following interview is with one of my good
friends, Wingobyte which took place on the morning of December 10th, 2004 and being submitted for the War Correspondent
Award.
pIkAcHu25: heya wingo thanks for the interview
Wingobyte: no problem
pIkAcHu25: so how are you doing this morning?
Wingobyte: I am ok..at work right now, fridays, no school so I work at my dads to make some $$
pIkAcHu25: lol nice, does he pay you good $$? =)
Wingobyte: nope =(…getting bullied around too, but just to gain some work experience its ok
pIkAcHu25: hehe
pIkAcHu25: let’s start off by telling us about yourself, how old are you and where are you from?
Wingobyte: I am 19…born in Hong Kong raised up in Toronto, Canada but still an asian at heart =)
pIkAcHu25: cool I’m from Toronto, Canada too!
pIkAcHu25: so how and when did you start playing battlefield?
Wingobyte: I started playin awhile back actually..I think early 98…but I sucked big time
Wingobyte: my bro brought me to this game and it was quite addictive
pIkAcHu25: wow that’s a pretty long time, almost 7 years
Wingobyte: I played under another tank name and started Wingobyte in mid 2000
pIkAcHu25: I’ll have to agree with you that everyone sucks when they first started
pIkAcHu25: can’t deny it ;-)
Wingobyte: haha
pIkAcHu25: sometimes when I am playing and I see new players, it really reminds me of old times -_-‘
Wingobyte: yeah…those are the ones you gotta go after..haha…give them an initiation they won’t forget
pIkAcHu25: true true...that’s how you learn
Wingobyte: yeah…but some peeps never change
pIkAcHu25: unfortunately =(
pIkAcHu25: you mentioned bf is addictive, how so?
Wingobyte: well, in the old days it’s much easier to get to the top…so all you wanna do is get there so I played a lot
Wingobyte: now it’s harder and also bonus deletes your tanks if you don’t play often
pIkAcHu25: heh I guess bonus wants us to play more bf
Wingobyte: well, bonus should know better we have other things to do lol
Wingobyte: especially when we get older
pIkAcHu25: well some of us since most bf players are kids
Wingobyte: yeah I am considered old…hehe…but I hardly play anymore nowadays
pIkAcHu25: yea same here
pIkAcHu25: when you’re in college you really don’t have time to play anymore but I still try to find some time to play lol :-)
Wingobyte: oh yeah…I mean you can play during breaks from study but still, I’ve done that b4 and ended playing a couple of hours
Wingobyte: time flies playing bf
pIkAcHu25: lol I know what you mean
pIkAcHu25: besides wingobyte, what other tanks do you play?
Wingobyte: my other main ones, FascinA-Z-N and DizziNESS are my team tanks, YaMeTe, and the others are not worth mentioning -_-
pIkAcHu25: hehe at least 2 of them have the purple heart
Wingobyte: yeah…I was lucky, but tip for PH contest is I think bonus likes original and creative ideas…cool graphics is good but not the main thing
pIkAcHu25: *takes down note*…
Wingobyte: lol
pIkAcHu25: making top10 in Rox is not easy, are you close to the rusty sword?
Wingobyte: yeah I am like half an hour away, wanna pass gorgan so bad but I doubt I can make it
pIkAcHu25: cool another tank to the rusty club in Rox heh
Wingobyte: yeah…I noticed that rusty’s club
pIkAcHu25: seems like you’re gonna have one of those rusty parties soon =)
Wingobyte: haha sure
pIkAcHu25: do you have any memories of bf when you first started like your first award? hehe if you can remember that a long time ago
Wingobyte: lol my first award was a bronze tank..some event eh?
Wingobyte: well I did remember a time when I was in blue and I was fighting with tanks like Mommy, Bakerbob49, and sirus7 against a swarm of purps…and I think all 3 of them died so I left in a hurry lol
pIkAcHu25: lol that’s better than me, my first award was the combat medal rofl
Wingobyte: lol…I got that soon after my bronze
pIkAcHu25: so do you have any relatives or family that plays this game?
Wingobyte: my brother used to play but he grew out of it…I had a friend who played, INSTANT NOODLES, but he lost his tanks somehow and never played again
pIkAcHu25: yea quite a few of us have left the world of bf and moved on…but you and I are still around after all these years lol
pIkAcHu25: you’ve been around bf since its early days, how do you think bf has evolved and changed in your eyes?
Wingobyte: I think it has gone from being fun to less fun and more on stats…that takes the fun outta the game…and not to mention the cheating that’s going on really ruins it
pIkAcHu25: yea most players now play so much just to make the top25 list, such as faking and taking free kills
Wingobyte: yeah, there are so many forms of cheating its insane
Wingobyte: as bf evolves so do the hackers, the cycle never ends
pIkAcHu25: right on
pIkAcHu25: here’s a must have question…do you have any favourite bf players?
Wingobyte: yes, just give me a few minutes while I make the list now lol
pIkAcHu25: lol take your time, *jeopardy music plays*
pIkAcHu25: *couple minutes later*
Wingobyte: well I’m strictly going to pick rocks and castles players since I play there most
Wingobyte: here we go: AS41, Anten, avenger, Legendz-1, pikachu25, Black and Blue, AllGirl, ESL, noname, Wyn Master, LK, DTZ, KK, the STRIKERS team and my AZN and NESS teammates
Wingobyte: Castles: AmAZN, Dragonair, CWC, others: Quang and Goten
Wingobyte: This small list is not just about playing on the field but just nice people that I meet from bf, I’m sure I left a lot of other players out
pIkAcHu25: wow, impressive list…even I’m on there =)
Wingobyte: of course…you were always on me when I was in..giving me a hard time
pIkAcHu25: hehe :-)
Wingobyte: you got a ss of me I know, haha
pIkAcHu25: =)
pIkAcHu25: well this has been an exceptional experience
pIkAcHu25: do you have any last words?
Wingobyte: haha..it’s my pleasure..and for last words, well, just know that bf is just a game, don’t take it too seriously. What you do in your real life is what matters, that’s the best advice I can give
pIkAcHu25: that’s a good advice for everyone
pIkAcHu25: thanks again for this wonderful interview
Wingobyte: thanx for interviewing me
pIkAcHu25: np, glad to do it
pIkAcHu25: take care and see you on the fields soon!
Wingobyte: you too
