Hi there. I am new to the server. I wasn't sure if I would stick around at first. To be honest, I was looking through the server list on gamespy and game across this server. Having read the novels by R.A. Salvatore, I was immediately drawn to EtU. Typically being me, I started a new character before I even read any of the boards. You see, I believe that experience is a better teacher than the imparting of knowledge. Sure enough, I found myself in the DM area, Howland eager to find out why. After being briefed on the application process, I found myself drawn to the server. I submitted an application for a subrace and am awaiting approval.
Until then, I can honestly say that I will make a character that will play on this server, whether my current app is approved or not. You see, as I awaited approval or denial of my application I began to read the forums...
...a few hours later I have read the majority of the forums on this site and can honestly say that I have found what I have been looking for: 1. a more realistic approach to the forgotten realms storyline 2. a more professional approach to managing a server and it's inhabitants 3. an experience to closer parallel that of what 3rd edition dnd should be and not what the majority of these servers, and NWN itself, have created to become a world where mortals rival the power of gods.
I truely look forward to what I am sure will be the most rewarding rp experience since buying NWN. If approved, you can look for me as Zarmaster Galfus Zimperumpadoo (the "L" is silent) around GMT 0300. Til then!
