I want to shout out a thank you for the DM staff in general, and the new DMs for taking on this beast of a job that is managing EfU.
I've found them to be extremely patient and helpful with myself and other players in our faction, and greatly appreciate it.
Sounds like its an overwhelming and often thankless job at times, and I'd like to encourage all you other players to be equally patient with them as well.
I've done my share of venting, "Argh! Why can't I get a DM? I thought this was done! This sucks!" and similar comments, but I truly appreciate what they ARE able to do for us to allow us to have so much fun. I guess they can still play characters anonymously, but every minute they spend DMing, they can't play and most or all of them are great players.
For a free service, players need to recognize how golden this is in today's world, and if you don't get/like the results IG sometimes - try to stay positive and envision having no EfU at all - if not for them graciously serving as our DMs. They can only do so much, and the more crap they get, the less they want to be a DM, which makes it worse instead of better.
They seem to burnout fairly quickly, and it seems player hostility is one of the primary killjoys of the job. So be nice to our DM staff, even when they phuck up or don't have time to help, because we do too.
Like drinking a speed potion in a magic free duel. :evil:
Thanks for reading.

All in all, I've found the DM team to be fairly cool about life. For example, when my serial killer was running around obscure parts of lower killing beggars: "...what are you doing?" instead of "BANNED!" The instant I tried making a drow sans app "Hello! Are you new here?" "Do you need any help" "Do you have any questions" These guys are da bomb. They respond to e-mails fast, they're there for PvP when you need them, and are generally very attentive.
We love you guys! (and or girls, don't know yet)

Agreed to all of the above.
I've also taken it upon myself to not bitch about anything the DM's have done, but rather understand their position.
There are several times I have tried and needed their attention for various things IC and they weren't available, but that doesn't mean I fault them for that.
Everyone should just be happy this module is still up and running.
