......it's a countdown....but to what?

I honestly hope it's not EFU on NWN2....I truly loathe the engine for that game. The characters don't even walk correctly in that game!

EFU's third Birthday.

The adding of zombie kittens.

Shit, I wasn't supposed to say that.

Spore... :s

A countdown to ... THIS!

Teh wipe of all characters and for EFU 2

Daemonic Daz Teh wipe of all characters and for EFU 2

I sure hope not. I like the nwn1 engine and interface a lot better. I really do, despise nwn2. Besides, I thought nwn2 didn't support persistant worlds.

I sure hope not. I like the nwn1 engine and interface a lot better. I really do, despise nwn2.

Nope, we're staying in Nwn1. Its that the whole server is being wiped so we start a new :D

Disclaimer: These are the views and opinion of Daemonic-Daz and not necessarially what will happen

I DUNNO MAN.

Look at all the apocalyptic plots going on.

id say teh wiep is neeeeear

Indeed.

The Appetite is hungry.

FleetingHeart Indeed.

The Appetite is hungry.

I really need a silver Bastard Sword now. . .

Or one with silver edges

I hope it isn't a wipe :(

My guess is the DM's will tell us when they are ready.

*shrugs* but that is just my guess. :wink:

I dunno, if EFU were to get moved to NWN2, I don't know if it would still hold the same kind of charm it holds now.

what Daz means is what they did on CoA a couple times, every character gets 'wiped' via some apocalype and everyone starts again with fresh characters, but is the same world/game etc.

To be honest it would easy to explain in EFU, as any of 5 or 6 monsters, groups etc. could do so without too much difficulty

*shudders mockingly* OOOH.

Why all the fuss? Just relax and wait to see what happens!

days until metropakt becomes a dm

that coment about CoA would explain why I can't find them any more.

Also, I suppose it's a good time to purge the server with all those abandoned accounts of players who showed up once and then left...or of Thomas' 3013 characters he's created.

I drag from the depths, the CoA battlecry of "ZOMG teh w1p3Z!1!1shiftoneone"

But seriously, has anyone checked what day 0 falls on and what the significance (if any) of said day is?

Kotenku Look at all the apocalyptic plots going on.

Pup *shudders mockingly* OOOH.

Why all the fuss? Just relax and wait to see what happens!

I would love to see an apocalyptic event, where no one survives, and where everyone has to start fresh. We would arrive (with new PC's) to find a recently developed slave colony huddled in the ruins of Sanctuary - say 10, 50 or 100 years in the future. We would then get the chance to help the small colony grow or be destroyed again.

Although, I doubt that'll ever happen, but it would be cool to have our PC's be part of a mysterious past, and have our new PC's trying to figure out why our former PC's "mysteriously disappeared."

I'd love to do that, I have a decent concept in my head right now for that anyways, so why not?

Just relax and enjoy the crisis!

Luke Danger I'd love to do that, I have a decent concept in my head right now for that anyways, so why not?

Because it would involve ERASING THE ENTIRE SERVER MAYBE PERHAPS??

....and this is how viral marketing is done.

Luke Danger I'd love to do that, I have a decent concept in my head right now for that anyways, so why not?

Destroy Sanctuary!

Dear god, Yes.

Sanctuary losing? Starting over? It would bring awesomeness to new degrees!

Id give infinite kudo's to any DM who destroys us all. (Come on, Mort, we -know- you have it in you)

In fact, if the server just sort of Cut off, without the actual apocalyptic event ever being told to us, I think that'd be pretty sick. <.<

I wouldn't like this.

Kotenku In fact, if the server just sort of Cut off, without the actual apocalyptic event ever being told to us, I think that'd be pretty sick. <.<

And then we'd have to find what killed us!

I would love this, though I doubt the DMs would express the change in such an OOC form.

Whilst this discussion may of course be completely off point as the countdown may be entirely unrelated ...

I wouldn't want a wipe. Namely because it does away with the 'natural' organic development of the server which is driven by the players, which i really like.

Many factions, groups, NPC's and PC's have real histories with each other and the world around them... starting again would mean we lose that, or at least the PC's involvement in it.

Having said all that if is going to happen, i'd just get on with it and roll up a new guy with everyone else :)

its a countdown to nothing obviously the Dms are playing some kind of trick to get us all crazy about it.

My prediction: EftU goes down we're moving to Escape from Monkey Island, where everybody are stuck on a desert island where the only NPC's are Guybrush Threepwood and Herman Toothrot, and the only creatures to fight against are the overpopulation of monkeys. I just know that's Howland's secret passion.

EfMI?

Ahahaaaa... Efyoo, EfMii.

Good one.

53.............

look out fools........

lol kotenku made a funny

Notice how he always posts the countdown at EXACTLY the same time everyday?

The conspiracy continues!

No mere human is that precise. :? In 53 days we will realise that Howland's posting-bot has achieved sentience, and eliminated its master. In 54 days, Howland's posting-bot will launch a nuclear attack on the continental United States. Sarah Connor on standby..... :shock:

Sedarine But seriously, has anyone checked what day 0 falls on and what the significance (if any) of said day is?

September 06 2008 at 11 am... Hmm...

1901 – Anarchist Leon Czolgosz shoots and fatally wounds US President William McKinley at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York.

The countdown stops at 42

I think everybody has already figured this out and it's just a blatant excuse to post count +1!

So I suggest just posting "Post count +1 lulz" and be done with it!

post count +1 lolz

Really though, what? I thought I knew for a while but...Not anymore.

Methinks Howland is going to use his apocalyptic machine in RL.

post count +1 lolz

If that's what's happening. . . we'll need some back up. . .

How about Kim Possible?

Who cares?

What happens happens

Drop it.

It would be wonderful if this was locked already!

1901 – Anarchist Leon Czolgosz shoots and fatally wounds US President William McKinley at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York.

Czolgosz, Angry man, Said, "I will do what A poor man can. Yes, and there's nowhere More fitting than In the Temple Of Music By the Tower Of Light Between the Fountain Of Abundance And the Court of Lilies At the great Pan-American Exposition In Buffalo, In Buffalo.

Wrapped him a handkerchief 'round his gun, Said, "Nothin' wrong about What I done. Some men have everything And some have none- That's by design. The idea wasn't mine alone, But mine, And that's the sign:

In the U.S.A. You can have your say, You can set you goals And seize the day, You've been given the freedom To work your way To the head of the line- To the head of the line!"

Lawl numbers are wtfx something must be happening when the number goes down to zero what the hell blarglywarbleblarblepostcountplusonewarble!

Post count +1 lolz -

Also, the Spore release date has been extended a week after it's usual release.

Oh my gawd not spore? If its not spore what could it be! I'm going to wait and see what theories other people have that also want to up their post count find out, before I post my own.

To me it seems like you're getting your post count +1 lolz more then everyone else, Naga. :D

This server has a rich PC driven history, to hit the reset button in a no survivors arbitrary way seems to go against what EFU is about.

Moral: I'll laugh if day 0 comes and Howland posts: :wlol nUbl3ts...I got my Ronco rotissere in tha mail today. >.>

The Crimson Magician To me it seems like you're getting your post count +1 lolz more then everyone else, Naga. :D

It may also be a countdown to when the module will be revamped to use all the newer tilesets!

I feel that a wipe requires an extensive amount of change in a server in order to do more good than harm. Since EFU opened its doors it has undergone a tremendous amount of change. A player could leave for a few months and entire factions or areas could be gone or greatly altered. For me that has been one great traits of EFU.

If there was a wipe, I would want there to be a change in setting. A struggling colony somewhere nearby in the underdark. Sanctuary would be reachable, but not the starting point.

That'd be just my luck- I actually get a fun character with lots of followers going on her way to power and then the server gets wiped. :P It'd be fun to start over though.

petey512 That'd be just my luck- I actually get a fun character with lots of followers going on her way to power and then the server gets wiped. :P It'd be fun to start over though.

I was only joking about the wipe. I really don't have a clue what it is apart from some late april fools joke (but not as epic as this years april fools)

Go back to Cleaner Close Daz!

I don't think it's an April Fool's joke so much as an excuse for us all to get a bigger post count debate what may or may not happen when the timer goes down!

I am Andrew Howland, and I'm here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? No says the man in the town hall it belongs to the poor. No says the man in the Spellguard it belongs to the Bresleys . No says the man in lower it belongs to everyone.

I rejected those answers. Instead I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose.... (?)

Where the bard would not fear the censor, where the necromancer would not be bound by petty morality, where the great would not be constrained by the small.

In 2005 I fled a server that had been shrouded in despostism and insanity. The EFU Revolution simply traded one lie for another. Instead of one man, the DM, owning the work of all the pcs, ALL the pcs owned the work of all of the pcs.

How many catastrophes were launched with the words "let's go exploring, damn the scripted quests"? It's the "undead staircase" crowd who light the torch of destruction. It is this great inversion, this ancient lie, which has chained EFU to an endless cycle of guilt and failure.

And so, I asked myself, in what server was there a place for men like me? Men who refused to say yes to the griefers and the powergamers. Men who believed that questing was sacred and loot rights inviolate. And then one day the happy answer came to me, my friends: there was NO server for people like me. And THAT was the moment I decided ... to build one.

WAT?

A fucking +.

I hate the +1 game, but looking at the thread, it's fallen off.

I think it's either just a ploy, or it's a joke that's over.

I don't even have to type anything, thanks Pyth!

Lock please.

I agree let's all horde our supplies and never ever use them ever EVER. Like let's have a competition of who will be the first person to have 7 inventory pages of blur potions.

Now I wasn't saying THAT, all I WAS saying was just have enough for some longer battles, just to be safe. But don't horde them, just keep a reserve handy just in case, because if my theory is right, we'll NEED it.

Here is something you can't understand, Howland's gonna kill a man

If your worth a damn you ~always~ have enough for a long battle, you use your potions regularly and restock just as regularly! If you don't you'll probably die before any event comes around anyway!

By the way I do not want ham.
