I had a favorite character die twice in one campaign for what I considered to be nonsense reasons, and as commonly happens to EfU players, decided right then and there that I was going to quit playing this server forever. I announced this fact on the party channel, so that both my companions and the DMs nearby would hear my complaints.

After I slept on it, I remembered why I play this server in the first place. I come here for the challenge, the role-play, the DM attention, and the rich tapestry of personality which makes up the player base. I realized that I had gotten so caught up in the advancement of what is essentially a fairly boring character concept that I forgot the reasons I started the character in the first place.

I just want to post something here to register the fact that I'm over it, and I'm starting a new GameSpy account to reflect the renewal of my purpose of play. I want the people I've played with in the past to know that I'm the same guy they played with before.

So, to anyone who gamed with or DMed the player named PlayerCharacter (Janus Vester and Kalen Thranis), We_Escape_Together is my new account name.

If your favorite character dies, don't quit playing. That's pretty effing stupid.

I did this within about a week and a half of hopping on efU. She is a harsh mistress and there have been times when I want to find whatever server is hosting it and empty a bottle of Mountain Dew over it. But once you learn respect efU instead of trying to overcome it. You'll find it much less frustrating.

I stay for the social interaction.

I stay for the XP, and DM quests, and the challenges.

I stay for lovethesuit.

Umm. I stay cuz this server is just downright fun. The ppl rock. The world rocks. The quests rock. Lag is the only thing thats not fun about EFU, and its lag is better than some other servers.

I am here for the e-girls.

Is there really any other reason -to- be here, save for them?

We've all been there. My first character was a pale master who was studying under an extremely powerful necromancer. He was decked out in phat lewt, had gotten loads of xp, and had a relatively clear plan to take advantage of the chaos of the Lower rebellion to start a Lower mausoleum as a cover to collect bodies and build/locate a temple of Shar.

Then, out of the blue, he died on the portal quest. Later that day, I got a group together to try and get the xp back. Died again. And again the next day.

I... was... so... pissed... I... wanted... to... leave... EfU... forever...

The thing is, it's an amazing mod. Not only are most of the characters interesting and the players creative, but behind the day-to-day leveling and plotting there seems to be this huge mystery surrounding Dunwarren. The intricate layers of EfU remind me of Lost, except a bit more dark and depressing.

I'm glad you're sticking with it, and I certainly hope you enjoy yourself here.

I've died more times than I can count lol. But I love the people, the storylines, and the politics.

But one of the nice things is that it weeds out the dumbasses. Because if you're not an idiot, it's not that hard to adapt and get used to efU. The idiots quit after a week and BAM, the general quality of the server goes up.

Cluckyx But one of the nice things is that it weeds out the dumbasses. Because if you're not an idiot, it's not that hard to adapt and get used to efU. The idiots quit after a week and BAM, the general quality of the server goes up.

*insert smart arse remark about a certain person still being here*

^_^

SILENCE. Or I'll put in the paper that your main character eats babies.

Although, touché
