I think the server is doing very well these days, with high numbers, interesting and nuanced back-and-forth conflict, plots that are unfolding, a lot of different things going on, cool returning new players, interesting PCs, lots of creative energy, and a lot of hardwork from DMs to improve the module. This is all great stuff.

What is not great is the occasional blast of negative energy coming from #efu

I will not tolerate it. What you guys say to each other in private channels is your own affair, but I will not permit the primary OOC IRC Channel of EFU to become polluted with insult-slinging from bored veteran players who have problems with each other.

I agree I also have to say I am really impressed with how the DMS changed the module it was like walking into a whole new server again.

Awesome stuff!  I've noticed the great stuff in game all around!  I also have noticed the negative attitude by people on IRC and personally have been attacked.  I think it can give a very bad image of what we are about and what type of players we have.  I'm pleased to hear this will be put to an end.

I'm sorry for chiming in with nothing much new to say, but, thank you, Howland. It's a point I've tried to make, myself, a couple of times, but it obviously doesn't have nearly the same weight as when you do it!
I thoroughly enjoy EFU IRC now adays, when the mood's good, and I think I've gotten to know a lot of the players way better than I ever did before, or have on any other server, and I enjoy it. You're an amazing bunch of people: Smart, funny, creative, and this all sounds like a kiss-ass post, but it's really not. It's making me sort of regret it's taken me this long to get to this point, where I'm comfortable talking to so many of you.
In essence:
A good vibe on IRC has made the enjoyment I get out of EFU three-fold what it was before.

Keep being awesome, EFU!

Just noticed this post, and I wanted to say...

We're better than this, guys and girls!

Blow off steam to your friends in PMs if you absolutely must, but don't sour a new player on the game and community before it's had a chance to win them over!

Thank you for taking notice and efforts to clean up #efu.

Howland nailed why I avoid the #Efu channel.  I may come in occasionally, but the general talk is brutal.  I'm far more inclined to join specific channels than read the crap on the main.

 I feel almost like when I first played EFU, back right on the beginning of the second chapter. All the excitement of that awesome new world. EFU managed to transcend the aging factor.

As for the IRC, I say it's just their way to express love! :D    Jokes aside, well, the rule of respect.

It's been a lot better, recently, at least as far as I've noticed. I'm thoroughly enjoying talking to you all, with the more "crass" joking/fun making gone! I'd definitely suggest people give it another try! The worst that can happen is you see it's still not for you!
