Although EfU started being built in September of last year, and went into irregular beta-testing in November I think, it officially began publicly an hour or two after midnight as we moved into 2006. As such, we're a few hours away from our official first year anniversary.

I'd like to thank the playerbase for being so great over the past year - without you guys, we wouldn't have a server.

I'd also like to thank my fellow DMs for being really hard-working, intelligent, and easy to get along with.

Let's all keep up the good work!

It's been a fantastic year. Well done and thanks to everyone who's been part of the server.

EfU's been an awesome outlet with a great DM team. Likely being so awesome that they've saved me the hundreds of dollars I'd of likely spent on other PC games without EfU.

That's a feat!

No doubt, Inquisitor. I haven't purchased (or played, really) any other PC games since discovering EfU last April, and I don't see that changing anytime soon! I'll raise a glass tonight and toast all the players and DMs who have made this such an immersive and addicting server. Happy Anniversary! Happy New Year!

Cheers!!!

Hell, me an phoenix are here pretty late in the game, as you can see, august. But for the time we've been here it's been an engrossing and highly entertaining game where I've also made some good friends. Here's to another awesome year

Happy new year and happy anniversary EfU!

I'm a latecomer, obviously, but congratulations!

Hear, hear!

Awesome to be a part of this, thanks Howland and everyone.

I began playing here for the second time in august I think, and have to say thanks to everyone for making this such a great server.

Happy new year and anniversary!

New player here and first post.

This is the best server I have yet to play on NWN.

Ever. Seriously. Hope it lasts.

yeah, its awesome :O

Hands down the best of the best,and by far not only the best server, but the best concept for a NWN campaign style game I have yet seen. Been around (as in on the planet) since 1970, and I have played alot of crpg's,PnP, Larp's,et all and nothing even comes close to this one, not even NWN2, with all it's bells and whistles. DM team by far outshines every other team out there, and a finer player base you will not find. Long Live EFU! Happy Aniversary and a raised glass to another great year in the underdark!

After having owned NWN since the release and never gone online, I finally decided to give it a whirl around Thanksgiving 2005. I figured PW-Story was the way to go and when the Gamespy room loaded, I found the Escape from Underdark world.

I promptly made up a character and then found myself recruited to go along on an adventure with Strife and Agent Delgado to recover some animatron parts. Needless to say, I quickly discovered what the Fugue was.

Later, I was helping someone in the Morgue return bodies, and the character I was with said "Cover the bodies." I looked around but couldn't find anything clickable. He laughed and said "RP it" and I was completely baffled by what he meant. Welcome to the world of real online RPG!

So now I find myself here, for an entire year and I tell everyone this was my first and only NWN server; how lucky could I have been to strike gold on the first try.

Long live EFU and the DMs indeed! The community of players has been incredible; I never would have thought I'd get hooked on an online game, but it has happened! So thanks to all the builders, DMs and characters that have made EFU the place to be!

Plenty fun this server is.

Three cheers for the DMs. Two cheers for the players. and one bottle of cheer from Spencer.

Played solo for many years. Came online this summer and quickly stumbled onto EfU. No hacks needed and only CEP made it easy to find and play. I tried one or two at the begining and just didn't feel the pull , the story just didn't make me want to do anything.

I often get on and only RP and not do any quests at all. There is no need to quest all of the time and you can still get into the story and feel of the Underdark.

Happy New year all and Happy birthday EfU.

Now if only I could quit my job and play all day. [sigh]

Damn it's good to be here.

Hmm?

EfU isn't CEP. >.>

Those gorgeous areas are made with the default placeables put in by Bioware when they released the game. No need for that gaudy CEP junk. :)

Been here since Early Beta last year. It's good stuff. Definitely my favorite place to be on NWN.

You players are just awesome. Awesome. Awesome!

Thanks for helping us keep this server alive and so full of zomb--Fun!

Here's to another great year.

Congratulations on one year! EFU is my first attempt at NWN multiplay and I'm grateful to have found it.

Happy Birthday, EftU. I had much fun on this server which I remember with fondness.

Being a member since a posting long ago in NWN announced GFU and actually came close to finding the surface, I must admit I am addicted. I have at times given up on the server due to its scratch and claw character levelling but its RP that makes is so worthwhile. When a DM jumps in to make a task that more special, its blood pumping, very creative and enjoyable. Well done Howland and team. Now if only I can get my wife to RP maybe she will get off my back with all the hours I play...
