Once more, this game has begun getting to me in ways that are none too pleasant. Often times we players find ourselves becoming too competitive over this game, a pastime that can consume so many hours and become such a serious thing in our lives.
The DMs have, thankfully, stopped me from committing any serious mistakes and ruining other player's fun, but they have also pointed out that my last character was made for the wrong reasons, and that I have been making serious mistakes. While I have not caused any real harm with my errors so far, it was only a matter of time.
With all this in mind, I'm hereby announcing that I'll go on break. I'll check on the forums and IRC with some regularity, perhaps once every two weeks or so, given that I don't want to lose touch with you folks. If anyone wishes to ask me specific questions, drop me a PM.
Finally, I'd like to apologize to you all, players and DMs alike, for losing sight of fairness in the game and letting the desire to 'win' EfU prevail over my desire to tell a good story.
I do not mean to garner any sort of sympathy. Let this be a warning to everyone (though I suspect many of you are far more mature than I and won't need it) - when the game becomes more about winning and less about storytelling, the reason to play it is completely gone.
I'll see you guys around,
- Kiaring

I look forward to playing with you again, Kiaring! Was fun having your PC as an enemy.

I have no idea what you're talking about! What's wrong with winning? Okay, so there is very little 'winning' in an RP server, but anyways....
We eagerly await your return.

Breaks are good. You'll eventually come back refreshed and excited once again.
We've all been there. See you when you return!

Kick back and take it easy. We need to remember EfU is just a game. It isn't going anywhere either, so come back when you want to!

Hope you come back soon. Your last PC (that I know of, there's always those pesky alt accounts) was fun to hang out with in the Crone and, later, fun to get yelled at by when I followed her into the Canal Ward.
Have a fun break. I've been taking a semi-break myself for the past week or so, and the withdrawals aren't as bad as I thought they would be.

I feel for ya Kia. I've had to quit several times to date because of many of the same reasons. Find the peace you seek you closet gamer.
