So, imagine for a moment that you were a professional reviewer, and had to sum up the best of the EfU experience in three sentences or less - what would they be?

I am looking for the kinds of short phrases that you might find on the back of books or on advertisements for a new film.

Examples:

"Simply stunning."

"A darkly conceived server with a rich history and responsive DM team. One of my best gaming experiences to date."

Basically write what you think in your own words. You could either address the server as a whole, or (also useful) simply an aspect of the server that you particularly like (i.e. the scripted quests, metaplots, dm quests, setting, lore, scripted features, area building, whatever.)

Some of the comments may be used as for future promotional material that will help the server (you would be quoted). People who contribute usefully to this will earn Howland Points [tm].

A dark, dynamic world that the player has direct impact on!

A DM staff unparrelled in the online gameing community!!

The ability to tell an everchangeing story that is seldom if ever seen in a MMORPG!!!

-efuincarnate channeling Johathan "Scribbles" Atma

"A dark, involving, and continually evolving game world where your character and interests have a real impact on the progression of the environment, as well as all those in it."

"An insightful foray into the realm of moral ambiguity, wrapped in a professional grade and entertaining fantasy-horror setting."

Editted to add:

"Kick Ass!"

and

"Bitchin'"

"Gritty realism, dark gods, vile villains. What more could you want?"

"Better than sex, or so I am told."

One of the most engrossing and well-written roleplaying settings I've ever had the pleasure of playing in.

The Escape from the Underdark DM staff has the most astounding sense of continuity that I've ever seen in a persistent world.

I find myself entirely addicted to each and every character I've ever possessed on Escape from the Underdark, and am always coming back for more.

A truely unique, well thought out setting.

Staffed by some of the most involved, helpful and fun DMs you're ever likely to find.

A great community all around, with some truly incredible role players.

"A generous helping of mystery and intrigue, expertly glazed with a sprinkling of unparalleled realism, served with a side of originality. Gourmet Grit."

EDITED TO FIT WITH THE FOOD THEME.

"A setting so dynamic and challenging in every aspect from the hard working DMs to the environmental setting to the creative player base. No MMORPG or PW could match EfU's living atmosphere."

One of the most friendly and interactive player bases I've ever seen, and a truly incredible setting!

Tired of candy-coated Tolkienesque fantasy tropes? Welcome to the Underdark, a true home to noir villainy.

Full Magazine-style review:

"Somewhere between MMORPG and single player RPG's there is an intimate, nearly coveted, portion of online RPG's where the individual player communities flourish and generate what is likely to be considered the best creative content in the gaming world.

Herein lies Escape from the Underdark, a morose and sobering module using Bioware's award-winning Neverwinter Nights to power its amazingly detailed setting.

Laden with a deep, rich and intricate backstory, hundreds of scripted quests and cataclysmic DM-led events, Escape from the Underdark provides the player with an online RPG experience that truly is among the upper echelon of Dungeons & Dragons-based game modules"

Alternatively for Tag Lines:

"Dark, intricate and utterly absorbing."

"The Underdark is a terrifying place; this module brings that fear to life."

"Truly one of the most inventive community-born modules on the internet today." "Welcome to the Underdark. You won't be leaving." "God-like evil elves, invulnerable Lycans and giant eyeballs that can disintegrate you. And you thought Undermountain was bad. "

"Swarms of mutant spiders, immortal demons and an evil dragon with a bad attitude. And you just drank your last healing potion."

"Blood thirsty Drow, unbeatable Duergar, killer mushrooms and creatures that eat your brain for fun. And thats not counting whats in the other three directions."

Escape from the Underdark. It will rock your f%#$ing nuts off! Nuts not included. Offer void in states it does not apply in.

Escape from the Underdark offers a rich role-playing environment fraught with danger, in which mysteries abound. The history of the city of Sanctuary is detailed and intricate, its future uncertain. I've encountered no other server where players have so much opporunity to change the course of the story.

Escape Underdark Roleplay to the nth degree Once in, no way out

"spooky"

It's your character's story to tell, the DM's just give you the pages to write it on; If you can dream it, they can generally help make it happen.

This vision of the Underdark seethes with moody, secret-laden locales, dangerous quests and monsters, and endless plots for power both blatant and political. The DM team continually churns out diabolical plots and enemy encounters to challenge and entertain the playerbase, many of which are linked to the complex of past events (many of which were PC driven) that have shaped the present of this setting.

No high levels, no uber gear, and half the mobs will eat you in three seconds. Escape from the Underdark. The Antidote to Leet.

EFU a land of dark mysteriouse and intrigue. From Holy orders to dark cults to organized crime. Once you start playing you cant stop.

Neo, Cthulu, and Mad Max, all on a NWN server.

Did you ever want to write a novel, a fantasy, a mystery, an adventure? Your story will take place in a dangerous forsaken place where you might triumph or you might fail, either way you'll be sure to enjoy it. Escape from the Underdark, go on I dare you.

EFU's dedicated DM staff allow players to realize their ambitions and execute intricate plots, providing them with a unique play experience not found anywhere else. Nothing is sacred; the challenging environment constantly gives the feeling that their precious society could crumble at any moment, while the players struggle to prop it up, bring it down, or turn a profit from either outcome.

"A cold, dark world where the story is not static, and more indepth than any MMORPG or RPG to date."

"A server to kickass in, while being kicked, in a kickass world."

"The pinnacle of innovative story telling."

has kool lewts

players are kool

dms are kool

"EFU ROOLS

ANTI-EFU DROOLS!!!"

The ultimate ebb and flow of literary genius. Live the story, burn the pages.

Best multiplayer game of all time.

" The best time i have ever had on any MMORPG or NWN"

" Great DM's, welcoming player-base and an ever changing huge world... come and join in, what are you waiting for!"

"In the dark and perilous chasms of the underdark where few eyes ever peer, and even fewer ever live to speak of it's tale, lay a city unlike any other. Perched upon the ruins of an ancient and mysterious machine who's workings to this day remain a mystery the small outpost of hope and shattered lives eaks out its niche. As the dark of the eternal night below closes from all sides and even from the inhabitants within...a hero emerges from the rabble, a hero unlike any other."

"Heed your calling and witness a persistant world beyond equal...perhaps the hero I speak of is you?"

A slimy dark place that when the DMs come around with some drows, you wish you were somewhere else.

Watch your back! "Thud thud thud"

DM, and player, thinking in every small thing on the server. To thicks from bar stools.

"Escape From Underdark, quite a sever. Dispite the fact it's called Escape from UNDERDARK, you don't HAVE to get to the surface to win! OR at least, as close to 'win' as you can, considering the quaility role-play and so many possible endings, it's just flat out stunning.'

Effectively a hijacking of the NWN engine for its own creative purposes, EfU is the type of original, inventive and inspired pocket of genius the internet is supposed to throw up frequently, yet one so rarely actually sees.

"Completely unwilling to permanently ban me after two years. Clearly run by a group of closet masochists. Inexplicably entertaining and exhilarating for a privately-run server."

efu is grand, epic on a scale as yet unseen in this game

Escape from the Underdark is a very different experience for every player and every character. There are an infinite number of ways to enjoy this server, from the simple dungeon crawl to the epic, server-altering plots organized by players themselves. EfU is the paragon of what Neverwinter Nights was intended for.

The story, the background, a lot of which I don't even know - But what I do know, is far more awesome than any book, movie, or TV show i could ever read/see.

No director, author, or producer could ever hope to produce this kind of story, something so amazing in a movie, TV show, or book. It's just not possible to replicated this kind of awesome that surpasses any video game I have ever played.

I have been here a year, and no matter what new games come out, their fancy graphics, their stories - None will come close to EFU, Nothing could ever come close.

Good old EFU forever. The DMs and players know how to play the game. Side by side they PVP together to uphold the EFU name. :wink:

Everything they've said, and more.

EfU is the next generation of online gaming: deeply immersive, co-creative role play. Both the players and dungeon masters are infinitely e-volved in living the survivalist, low-magic epic that is taking place seven miles underground. Become embroiled in the ominous and visceral 'dark-city' of Sanctuary, while the denizens of the Underdark design an everpresent Apocalypse-of-the-Senses for you.

'Best Damn server ever. 'Nuff said.'

"From resurrection of the Gods, to killing them, to becoming one, I am sure anything is possible on this server."

"An almost immediately addictive world than never seems to run out of secrets to learn or plot twists to manuever."

"The player-base and DM team are top notch, and amaze me unceasingly."

"I can't wait to get my computer back!!!"

"So creepy, you'll lie awake at night, dreaming of what you will do the next day in this MMORPG."

a lot better and more interactive than a lot of games and it is free randomly when they could charge like money and stuff

nevermind actually i don't think they can

"Like having sexual relations with a nymph"

A dynamic server rife with intrigue, machinations, action, and adventure across all levels; this player world offers a panoramic set of experiences that cater to any possible character concept or role-playing preference imaginable, be it action, political, social, or any combination thereof. It is a world that is defined and shaped by player interactions and actions, and in this it is perhaps the most "alive" of any role-playing setting that a player, be he/she a seasoned veteran or a novice, could be privileged to partake in. Simply put, the truest representation of a living, breathing fantasy world that I have ever seen.

Like a beautiful woman with a steriod problem, EfU will devastate you completely... and you will love every moment of it.

I'm looking for some assistance in compiling these into a single sleek photoshoped image, and am willing to trade a personalized DM quest to anyone who produces something quality. If you're interested find me in channel #howly

I like the others too but those are the ones that strike me as the most suitable. Thanks for assisting, EfU is always looking for nice fresh blood!
