Funny story about that.

It's been a wild ride for me. The first night of DM'ing, despite never having logged in the dm client before, and running around to possess NPCs and see the world come alive with players was when I really got hooked...

The end of EFU:A was more satisfying for me personally than the end of EFU.

RP with other players... usually.

I enjoy it when PC's come together and RP, working together. The end of EfU and EfU:A really embodied this; in those times conflict was minimal but there, everyone focusing on survival.

It's being with other players who enjoy RP as much as you do that makes EfU fun.

As for particular moments;

- First character; Mithrilsoul smackdown was great fun
- House Montezzi; I wanted to cremate them all and even felt the players were elitist/cheap at time to time (mainly those who thought it fine to gank people mid-quest), but they really showed the epitome of player action.
- The Rebellion in Sanctuary; I only saw some parts and I always was playing it as a level 4 (5 if I was lucky), but I enjoyed it despite that mechanical disadvantage.
- Leading from that, the drama of The Way and getting to it.
- Red Elient. It was one of those times where the server really came together, and it was epic.
- The Dwarves; every time I've interacted with dwarves it's always been fun. Never had them as real enemies, but even character not interested in them, I always enjoyed dwarves that really embodied dwarven virtues besides 'kin kin ale kin'.
- The Order. I never have been a fan of religious zealots, but the Order really puts the idea in a fairly realistic light; not too common in fiction.
- EfU:A's end. I agree with Howland, it was more statisfying. I particularly enjoyed the new tone once the war with H'bala came to be.

Then end of Escape from Underdark was definately a conclusion to the story of sanctuary as not much more can occur.
But with the end of EFU:A, there were so many loose ends and the like.

Loose ends?

Do tell.

Without a doubt it would be the opportunity to watch characters develop and grow over time. Seeing PCs start from humble beginnings to grow into powerful, important, and changed individuals is immensely interesting. That this development occurs regularly, with little stagnancy in PCs, is one of the most remarkable aspects of EFU:A/M.

I think this qualifies as a "thing". :)

I meant by loose ends that there will still be mysteries to solve in EFU:M.

Being told that I was "rocking out" With Roarin back in the Underdark by a score of DMs, at a time when I felt I had little else to give to the server.

I think it says a lot that I can't think of any specific moments.

[SIZE="3"]My favorite moment was on my character Bruce Almshaven "Prince of Novalonia" after having been captured by a Stygian and challenging the character to trial-by-combat on the top of the Ziggurat.

We both used all of our potions, supplies and items but in the end I had my first victory in PvP ever and it was a duel to the death against a member of the Stygian Armada on the top of the Ziggurat.[/SIZE]

[SIZE="1"]It might also have been the time NuclearCatastrophy said he liked my character. I nearly pissed myself.[/SIZE]

<elmo>: i have to say for me your glory days have been on EFUR RagingPurpleGiant1

The end of EfU. One of the best, most atmospheric times to be around, not just because of the event itself but because of the scores of amazing PCs on both sides. The most alive I've ever seen EfU, without a doubt.

In order of occurrence:
[LIST=1]
  • Fighting against Rus with the Stygians as Haroth.
  • End of EfU:A
  • Mort telling me that the Twin-Born were actually kinda cool.
But, really, the whole of EfU that I've been a part of has been a great experience in general.

My favorite thing about EFU and it's predecessors isn't dealing with specific PCs, loot, quests, etc.. and is more about a sense of community.  I've always enjoyed being able to interact with players on various levels.  Whether it was just being part of awesome RP, affording others a chance to get involved (or being afforded a chance to be involved), or merely seeing that what I was attempting to do was/is appreciated.  If EFU was a single player game, it would be horribly boring. It's the people that make the experience what it is. Afford each other a chance to go forth and be awesome.

Some of the details are hazy for me, but essentially it was something IC'ly planted by a chaotic Seeker PC played, I believe, by Panama Lane with the hope that such would re-inspire people to look for the surface.

As for the actual fate of Frederick Bresley....

Well.
