Time to clean up the forums a bit and have a fresh thread for a fresh chapter.
Quote from: EFU PolicyIt is fine to make a post in this forum saying you'll be gone for a certain period of time due to holiday/traveling/FAILING PE/wedding or some other concrete reason.
It is fine to, having ceased playing EfU completely for a substantial period of time, to return and say hello and mention that you've not been interested/not had time/whatever and mention that if people want to get in touch with you, they should send an e-mail, and perhaps take a moment to wish EfU a fond fare well.
It is no longer fine to log onto the forums after deciding to quit and make a big, "I am leaving forever, goodbye!" post.
If you want to no longer play EfU, that is fine. But please give it a few days before announcing this to the community. It is just ridiculous to me when people make big, angry goodbye posts due to temporary frustration and return to playing once they calm down. It is unnecessary and foolish and not an appropriate use of this forum.
Guess I'll kick us off.
I did not think I'd ever come back to EfU, but here I am to see this thing through. I quit for school, and trying to grow up. I found other places and pleasures to pass the time, and met great people. I guess it took two years to realize, you can't "grow up" from this. Storytelling is not a child's game, it's a core human talent, trait, and need. It's a part of who I am, and I suspect, who we all are.
It is high time to come home, with fresh eyes. I don't know how long I will stay as new challenges (career, relationships, etc.) come up, but I'm glad to be back for now.
See you guys in IRC, and in game soon enough.
Welcome back!!!!!!!
Finally, some good news. Garem come home!
Can't believe I missed the end of efu:m D:
hoping to return in about 4 weeks after successfully blowing up my computer like a bawse
Can be sure I will be stalking the forums in the meantime
Until then!
own
I wondered where you had got too! Looking forward to seeing you back man!
The call of EfU was just too strong. I'm back.
Peace Yo. I'll be back later maybe. Either the server isn't a place for me anymore, or I cannot return to startup level ranges and have fun. I'll show back up at some point, when its all a bit more fleshed out. Probably.
Echoing Ebok's sentiments, as well as my own issues, I will not be playing efu until I am particularly inspired (with an arnold howardson epic character or Allivarn Fireheart "to my roots" awesome), so until them, I wish everyone the best of luck. I wish to enjoy newer games and dally about with my new job and the prospects of finally getting a girl friend.
WB Ommadawn!
Gonna be away for this weekend. Probably won't be back IG till Sunday evening. See ppl then.
Been a long time since I've played in EFU but eager to make my return. Everything looks so amazing.
Gone mountaineering for the weekend. Be back Tuesday.
Working my last week of summer camp - I'll be out of commission until thursday or friday, but after that I'll have a week and a half of full-time relaxing (=EfU!) before work starts, so if you want to do stuff with Wesk, have patience until then. :)
A close friend got put in the hospital, so concepting a new PC and causing a ruckus with D_I takes a back seat to RL.
I'll be back when I'm back.

Thanks to modern medicine baby was saved. Though now they've got her in an ~easy bake oven~ and flooding the internet with phone pictures. So I guess all is well and I can resume bringing the ruckus with D_I
Also <3KoP<3Scumlord #bffs
Got a bad flu, not really feeling up to RP or gaming in general. Gonna lay in bed and marathon anime until my eyes are numb then sleep, and repeat until I fel better. Cheers
Due to a death in the family I am going to be absent for a while. I apologise to my fellow Banites, but I don't think I will be around the next week or two. Take care, all.
~tOH.
Soon.
Ok I was wrong.
RL and EFU balance has been difficult of late. My time IG will be spotty. I'll still check the forums but cant guarantee I can spend any significant amount of time IG on a regular basis for the next three or four days.
Going on holiday tomorrow morning and so EFU will take a backseat to partying, I'll be back in action next saturday.
Work is done, and I'm looking forward to a week and a half of excessive slacking and gaming before work starts anew (following which I'll be around at more having-a-lifey hours).
AFK for a week or more.
Out until connection issues are fixed A miraculous recovery. . .
I should be back IG more regularly now. :)
Actually, turns out I'll be available on forums, at least, and sporadically IG on agreement.
a moth till this scum is gone foreva
Thanks for the fun guys. Maybe be back later when people aren't getting PK by three pc's. Until then keep up the good work!
I'd like if you send me a PM of what situation brought up this notice, Bob. It leaves a serious and bad taste in mouth for any who reads this and if it's truly something we need to look at, we need details.
I will be gone from Thursday until Sunday.
Well, looks like I'm taking an unintended vacation from EFU for the time being. NWN and other servers work fine but I am completely unable to see or connect to EFU.
I've done everything I can conceivably think of or find to do.
If I can manage to get EFU working again, I'll be back. Probably still be hanging around in IRC.
Resolved, turned out it was the IP needed to be released and a new one assigned. Just had to unplug the router+cable modem long enough for that to happen.
There appears to be little room left for an antagonist player like myself these days, and so I'll leave it to the greater minds that control the NPCs I suppose.
Farewell for now!
Semi AFK for the week - cycling (.. & working).
I'll be AFK for about 12 hours.
Off to a music festival. Should be back around Tuesday.
Calling off the hunts for a week or so to have a PC-free week.
Gonna be the out again all weekend camping and visiting EAA AirVenture one of the worlds largest airshows/fly-ins. Should be back IG Sunday night. Keep rockin' EFU! :)
EFU was something wonderful, and a great part of my life in which I was able to share it with a number of great people.
Have a good one folks and catch y'on the flip side.
I'm done.
Done.
wtf
I had a nice weekend, although I am sunburned. It feels unnatural for a person that generally lives in a world of midnight and never lingers in the sun.
Hooray.
Been out this weekend due to birthday celebrations, be back to normal play in the week folks!
Vacation, Football, and Bitches. Sorry EFU. Bye Byes for now.
Rip morva
What I assumed was a flu turned out to be a bigger issue. Gonna take some time off to sort out my personal issues. Its not life threatening, but still a little shaken and not feeling like doing- anything at all, honestly.
More AFK! Available on forums. Back-ish on the 14th.
I hope your health improves, Pelorean. Best wishes with that.
Good morning EFU. It's been a while.
Quote from: UrkoNeedsAStiffDrink;348178Good morning EFU. It's been a while.
Welcome back Russian KGB soldier extraordinaire. I'm looking forward to your half-orc sorcerer's noob stomping escapades.
Some end-of-summer vacationy stuff going on. Activity's going to drop for a week or two.
Just got back to town for the first time in a while, so busying myself with fixing up the apartment and catching up with friends. I'll be a bunch less active the next couple of days, but soon enough I'll be back on track.
Out for the weekend
I'll be off for the weekend as well. Until then, my playtime will be somewhat hectic. Expect a strong presence thursday night (GMT)
On the 15 of August, I will be out for a full week bathing in the heat of the Nine-hells (Greece)
Feel better, Pelorean!
I'm going to be away for some days myself. Real-life has gotten very busy so I may only be able to play sporadically at best.
I hate wasting time. I'm wasting too much of it. Peace y'all.
taking an extended break from efu for now
I have gone through a surgical procedure. All went well, but I will be in the hospital for a while. See you soon.
Get well soon!
Away for a week.
RL has been and continues to keep me very busy. Won't be around much at all, 'till it slows down ^^
See you soon!
Not really finding any traction in the new setting, not a server problem, strictly my own, gonna take a break for a while., til I can find something I want to stick with. The 5- 2- 5- 2 leveling cycle I seem to have achieved requires a concept I will stick with, and as of yet, not found. Creative Hiatus for a bit.
Hi, hey, hello. I'm back.
I'm out, folks. Those who know me can reach me through e-mail.
Welcome back, Pandip. And farewell PureeOfPelican, good luck out there.
Going to travel for 10 days or so. Won't be IG until after. Thankyou to the elves and friends I've been hanging with. Back after... Until then... Peace... :)
Been rather inactive as of late, due to the past week being extremely stressful. On the bright side, that is now behind me and I am an uncle! My activity will be increasing and my apologies to folks I made promises too but couldn't keep.
Looks like another weekend where I will be out under the sun in RL, enjoying what is left of summer here in Wisconsin. Should be back IG next week. Peace out EFU!
Got pissed, annoyed, frustrated, and angry. Time to take a extended leave. Peace!
Guess I should point out that i'm back after skipping chapter 3. Made a new forum account. Same Gamespy ID though. I played Ferdinand Maximillian Rohm. A Patrician and Guardsman. Executed too early. Also some Amnish bard, who's name escapes me. I left due to real world "things" (not quite issues), and didn't quite get back into the game for chapter 3. I couldn't exactly do that after my immersion was ruined by being unceremoniously slaughtered the very minute I brought him into the world, by some idiot player who has no idea how to play the game. Didn't even get him through the entrance. Anyways, been back a week now, playing as Amory Balfour. Looking forward to better experiences.
Sounds like a terrible experience Red_Judas, that really should not have occurred. Welcome back, I'm sure your experience can only improve after that (and be sure to report such occurrences to the DM team immediately, it's definitely not condoned.)
Someone out there will care. Someone must...
Quote from: Unable to log inMonday - tuesday - wednesday (??) - thursday - friday
Just as a reminder, I'm out enjoying the Ionian sea, sailing under the divine guidance of Valkur.
I will back around the 28th.
Have fun EFU !
And i'm done... Too much contention at home and too much time spent thinking about stuff here. Be awesome, folks.
Sorry to see you go man. Keep in touch!
Ugh. It's been a frustrating time since last week, and I apologize for my inactivity. My normal (targeted) playing times are between 7:30PM - 12AM EST, but a number of real life factors (such as really early morning appointments this week) and issues last week (helping my nephews prepare to go back to school which started this past Monday)... and some other issues have conspired to reduce my EfU time.
I hope to be back in the saddle by next Monday at the latest, if not before.
I made a commitment to myself to try and balance EfU with my RL before I allowed myself to return, so unfortunately - at the moment, EfU is taking a backseat.
Working man, so from now on, weekends and some rare weekdays are the only playtimes that'll be available for me. GMT, that is.
Haven't been on EFU for a bit and likely won't be for awhile.
I apologise for not having been around the last few weeks, and I'm afraid it's unlikely I will be again anytime soon with uni starting up again for the autumn.
Also, DrD is coming to town so pray for my survival...
Due to time constraints I'll likely only be able to log in for scheduled things into the indefinite future.
I will be gone for a little while. Try to save the body count for when i return
#Mausoleum
Swamped with work, play times very sparse til the weekend. Probably the same next week as well.
Having suffered a bereavement in my family, my play times will be little to none at the moment.
Thanks to those that have offered warm thoughts, they are certainly appreciated.
Going to apologise in advance to everyone, for any mood swings or rage you experience. Car was broken into last night, lost about £600 worth of things.
-On second thoughts. I wont be IG for a while.
Shit man. That happened to me after I borrowed the car of a friend of mine for just one evening. They cut out the lock and pushed up the pin (old car).
It cost me about a third, but I can definitely relate. See you around again soon hopefully.
Dang. That sucks, dude. Well, come back when you get to feeling a bit better.
Might be able to come back
I need to bow out for a few days, to relax.
Truth be told, I am not going to play EFU for awhile until I am thoroughly inspired. College and labor for money take precedence.
A reminder to everyone involved/working/plotting with my character that I still am around, just for the foreseeable future not IG except on weekends.
Well Labor Day weekend is upon us (in the U.S.) and I will be gone camping in the wilderness. Should be back Monday night or Tuesday.
Apologies to those who I said I would be back too. My dad has had a break down, wont be around for the foreseeable future. I will let you know when that changes.
Soon I'll be taking a break from EfU for a while, unsure how long I need. Semester starting and I want to concentrate on it.
I'll be around few days to wrap up some stuff that involves me. After that I'll be sporadically in IRC and rarely if ever viewing forums. Best way to reach me during this time is through e-mail.
Work will keep me away from the game next 7 days or so. Sporadic at best. Back after the 9th.
Well, SN goes on well-deserved holiday on Thursday evening.. returning on the 22nd.
Isle Hvar, here I come, far away from you filthy humans.
Im still on vacation until the 9th or so...just an FYI!
I'm back. Camping was awesome, work, not so much. See everyone IG. :)
im out, maybe for just a year but hopefully forever
ill pop on forums from time to time to keep up with some peeps
had some good time, bye

Quote from: Damien;352805im out, maybe for just a year but hopefully forever
See you in a couple of months.
I'm thinking I will bow out, at least temporarily. I've made a few embarrassing mistakes with my PC and I'm a bit too ashamed to continue (terrible perfectionist). I'll be back later probably.
:( Ruarc...
NOOOOOOOOOO

Your mistakes, if you want to call them that, have led to some RP that is now a part of everyone else's story. I can understand if you need a break, but IMO you have to eventually come back to this character and finish out what you've started. Ruarc is a part of the world now, and his actions do indeed fit his character.
It's perfectly normal for a character to make a great decision to change their direction and find out who they truly are inside. Real life people do it all the time. Whatever you decide to do in character, remember that other players have invested their stories in yours. Also, keep in mind that it is really not necessary to have a successful character arc in order to have a good one. Some of the best characters ever have also made some colossal mistakes. Releasing H'bala, for example.
You'll be strong.
I'm going to be out of town for most of the weekend. Any who's got business with Mystia will have to wait a bit until she can be back. (Sorry, El Groso)
Not going to be ig till Sunday or Monday. Forum work I can probably do from my mobile however.
Have fun, guys!
Setting some kind of record with these short lived leaving posts.
But I found some inspiration to keep my PC going so I should be about again as soon as I iron out the details of what I want to do.
Coming in hot
Will have to see if I have reason enough to return in the future. Real life is taking too much of my time, and recent developments have made my character very difficult to play. Will write here if/when I'm back in game.
Gonna take a break.
Hallo Poppet!
Monitor has been on the spriz. Don't know how long it'll be till i can fix it up.
Back! I think.
Still around although my play-times are getting a little sparse.
Away for most of the weekend, some playtime next week I think... and then gone the next weekend too. They're much needed breaks with friends and family.
Fortunately, all my plots have plenty of folks to keep moving forward - keep kicking ass guys, be back soon.
I'll still be all over the forums, of course. Cheers!
I had a BIG LOOT item for you. Shame. Now it's going in the bin.
My internet is visiting the fugue - Will be back once it's respawned.
I've an out-of-town funeral to attend this weekend, so I will not be playing except possibly for Sunday night.
(PCs Tobit and Krelgen)
Sorry to hear that, Goate.
I'm going to have to extend my absence another week or two. I'll be checking the forums regularly, still.
As some of you may have noticed- I've gotten used to my new schedule and it's mellowed out some. Funnily, it'll soon get busier again.
But for now I'm here, rather regularly!
Things haven't been going well at home. So in order to patch things up on the home front I have to concentrate on other things. Miss you all, and I look forward to returning in the future.

Been a little busy with school, back soon though.
Quote from: SN;355524Nobody!
Alright, Emily Dickenson.
In other news - should be back to normal playing over the next few days as I finish up some major projects.
Working on school stuff so been absent the past few days obv dunno when i'll be back regular but soon
Quote from: TheTurboNerd;355597Working on school stuff so been absent the past few days obv dunno when i'll be back regular but soon
Cool, i'm not the only disappearing for a little while. I'll probably be on Thursday morning for awhile, until I have to leave to teach class again.
Apologies to anyone who's been trying to find me IG these last few days. Currently busy nursing hangovers and adapting to life as a student. I will be back once I'm a little less busy.
Wont be on EFU for a long time, there are reason but not to be explained here I suppose. EFU rocks, hope it endures for years! Later.
So my second daughter turned up yesterday, understandably not going to be IG much for a bit. My PC is still alive and swimming about.
Busy for a while, I'll try and get on regularly but school stuff has to come first so you can expect to be seeing a little less of me than usual.
As of tomorrow Morfran Schnitt will be away from his California evening play schedule as he will go to Malaysia for one week then will be in Japan the following week. Not sure how much play time or when. I must take care of customers. That means sit in meetings all day and drink all night.
Back in action guys, see you all in game.
Seems my already busy schedule got even busier, so until things settle down a bit it will probably be better to just go full AWOL for a while. :/ Hopefully will be back again in a few weeks once some big ongoing projects are done, but if I get the odd moment to spare here and there I might pop in occasionally before then.
Pretty busy. I will try to be around, but that won't be often for a while still.
Work is keeping my play time to a minimum right now, thru the 15th of October.
going to be taking a break to get some inspiration and a clearer head
Doing some moving, internet won't be in the new pad until Monday!
Pretty pissed. I'll back when I calm down. That was just... ridiculous. May as well just kill you on sight than even bother trying to beat that ridiculousness.
I'm back scum
I'm not really leaving. But I've noticed I haven't felt much drive to login lately. It might likely be my PC and time-zone issues, but I can still be found in IRC and can login if anything comes up.
Gonna take it easy on the EFU for a while, other interests ect.
Still playing now and then, just much less.
Hello! To those of you that care or wonder I just wanted to drop a note and to take the opportunity to thank everyone in this community.
You're all been great really and I thoroughly enjoyed spending so much time with so many of you on my previous character Radke. A lot of you DMs really made me feel appreciated as well for a welcome change ;) ha.. ha, ha.. which was recipe for good closure.
I am about to board my flight to the dutch Antilles (Carribean) where I'll be working for the next 32 weeks. I don't know if I'll be back to efu while I'm here, but I'll keep check of the forums! Peace out friends!
183 forever.
183 for lyfe.
For the past few days I have been out of town and/or working on a couple portfolio pieces for a couple future interviews. After Monday or so my playing time should rise above 0 playing time.
Going to be absent for the rest of the weekened. Should be back by monday!
Stupid real life... why do you have to pester me?!
I start my studies again. So for the near future i'll be on only on weekends (or at least i hope i will). will try to log in if i've got some time during week days as well. a bit depressed that when so many fun things happen right now i can log on less. but that's life :D
I'm BAAAAAAACK! Where's da foightin'?
I'll be out for the next few days... from 10/16/13 to 1019/13.
pc: Mikael Galeno
I probably won't be available IG until Tuesday night GMT -5. I may get lucky and pop in, though. We'll see. I've already been around more than I expected.
I miss you guys... Away until I can get a job! And pay for interwebs...
Probably won't have much time for EFU for a while. Maybe only weekends, if at all. We'll see.
Keep rockin'. Hope the dwarves currently playing keep at it in my absence.
Hello,
I just wanted to mention I am still undead and have not quit EFU.
Just focusing on real life and keeping my creative juices flowing through other stimuli.
Will be active again eventually. Keep rockin' folks.
Will be on traveling vacation for the next 11 days. I will pop on and off every once in a while, but no sustained play. Lates,
-Goate/Gracken
Player of Tobit Azrander
I've been having bad tremors so I'm not sure when I'll be comfortable IG. I'll keep on eye on the forums but don't expect to see the Clown IG any time soon...
I wont be in-game much but I'll pop on IRC to talk to people. Feel free to pester me when you see me pop in.
First, I apologize for my sudden absence over the last week. I should have seen that coming as my away from keyboard responsibilities started piling.
Second, I fear that I'll be away for several more days. Awesome things are happening in my life right now and I just can't spend my time here.
Fortunately, by design, all of Patrice Vermand's plots and schemes should be totally capable of proceeding without him around! Best of luck and keep rocking out. I'll be back as soon as I can.
I have had some trouble integrating into the new server and been busy with college work lately. BUT I would like to start playing more often.
I'm out. Not enjoying being sniggered at in private. Had fun for the most part though, cheers.
Ah, c'mon, Luni. Talk to me on IRC soon-ish, I'll see if I can't redeem this place for you.
Lunivere. Please contact the DMs regarding this!
Sudden influx of stuff to do, no idea when I'll be back really. Sorry for the sudden bail.
I certainly know of no sniggering. Come back, Lunivere!
Come back Lunivere :(
Out for a day or two more, hopefully no longer!
Work, et all. Far less game time. Not gone, but definitely not around enough to make much of a difference. Back in a few weeks once things settle for the holidays. My OCD keeps me checking the forums daily, to keep any unread mail from taking root :), just not able to get ingame much.
Forgive me everyone, I've been trying to get ready for some very important RL events. I'm way behind, and I've got only a few days left.
I'll continue to be gone until the 16 or 17th of this month.
Doctor Galeno will be unavailable for adventure, but please consider him busy with the people of Sanctuary and Lower. Even though I'm not here, Galeno would never abandon the people
As some may have noticed I haven't been in game lately. My bechelor's degree is sucking up all my time. It will get better once I'm done with it, so Stephan is still alive and kicking, and one day (hopefully soon) he'll be back.
I recently bought GTA5. This means I'll likely be wasting my life on this game instead of EFU. I'll still be in IRC, and my PC is still around, but given the stagnastiness that Team Nature is currently experiencing I figure this is a good time to take a small break anyway.
I can still login for stuff, just getting tired of the grind of logging in and doing nothing.
That said- if you intend to go around and shit on stuff in the wilds, you should totally message me and let me know to login so I can try to catch you.
;)
Hide your kids hide your wife, TH and CaptLars (aka Team Bash Brothers) are back.
shit
My new arrival is the focus of my attention so finding my playing time much reduced. My PC Ssandh is still alive swimming about somewhere.
Unfortunately, RL is keeping me quite busy, with very little game time. I do not see a change in the near future. Apologies to those I was in plottage with. What little spurts of free time I do have, I am finding a quick game of BF4 more suiting to my limited gaming time..feel free to shoot me in the head,:) handle is Mallus Dei. Play on xbox live. Hopefully around the holidays I can get back to 4 hour sessions of efu!
My son has just been born. I will be taking some time away for a bit, obviously.
Congrats!

Congrats!!!:D
First of all: Congratulations!
Secondly, compy issues and RL business has been keeping me away for a couple of weeks, and likely will be doing so 'till just before christmas.
I've gotten my compy fixed, so I'll probably be hopping in once in a while, but don't expect to see me anywhere near regularly!
Apologies!
My computer just got attacked by a trojan virus. My security says it's been removed, but I'm making sure I scrub my software thoroughly before relaxing. If I don't return to efu in some time, it means my pc has been damaged and I might be gone for a good long while :(
The tremors have been way down for a week now, so my desire to play has taken over and I'll be around as a test for a bit.
So! I had dropped off the face of the earth on here do to packing up and moved myself deep down into the south. After that been working non stop, finally getting some free time though so really hoping to hop on here and there and play again. <3
:3
Family and friends from out of town will be taking up most of the time I'd be using for EFU for the next few days. Adjeda Thousandfold will be fully active again on Monday, and I'll be around on the forums and intermittently in-game when I have a free hour or two.
Also off with family, also will be fully back monday. Thanksgiving weekend and all.
Not that anyone has really noticed (lel), but I've uh... not really been on within the past two weeks. Things keep cropping up, plus it's that time of the year where you remember that you have a family. I should be able to start playing again on Friday for sure.
I feel it's time to take a break from efu. Not sure how long I'll be away, might be a week, a month or more... Keep on rocking, see you when I see you! Cheers
I am not finding my way back to get in game anytime soon, Eli son of Tom is pretty much retired at this point. Hopefully not forever, time will tell.
Family stuff took me away for a time, but you know by now that I can't quit you, efu.
Expect to see me in-game some time soon.
Limited availability over the next few days.
Going to be house sitting for my Uncle. Unsure if I'll take my PC or not, but if I don't, no NWN.
EDIT: .. Monday, by the earliest, Wednesday by the latest, for my return. I did not bring my PC, so I won't be able to get in game. It'll be a while.
Quote from: Cruxen;363931Also off with family, also will be fully back monday. Thanksgiving weekend and all.
Im still missing! I'm doing finals and having a HELL of a lot of hard time concentrating, so if you see me IG yell at me and tell me to get back to work.
Last final's this monday, then semester ends, so I'll be back IG as Havelon full time.
Hey folks. Month is getting busy; and I'm getting less and less time to play on efu as a result. I'm going to be gone for the rest of December. I might be off for a little longer though, because if I'm being honest, I NEED a break from efu like no tomorrow. :(
There's a lot of reasons for this, but the main one is that staying ic (not seperating ic knowledge from ooc knowledge, but essentially staying in the mindset of the character in question being played) is incredibly taxing when the setting is so dark/depressing/hopeless. I need a break from that mindset!
Add the holidays, increased rl demand for attention, and increased work loads, I'm going to start to have to devote more and more time to things not related to efu. So I'm not sure when I'll be back. I'll certainly keep an eye on the forums though.
Have fun everyone! Enjoy the story. :cool:
Been away more or less for some time now, things are crazy-busy at home and Christmas is coming, so things won't likely improve much till afterwards. Hope to get back soon!
So RL gets in the way and I don't see it changing anytime soon. Will try to pop when I can. Go team rebels!!! :D

That sucks. He was Whispersands best bud!
Any players that need me specifically to tend to stuff IG do let me know. I am not 100% gone but I don't have much time to play anymore.
Good, my mum can be free now.
Quote from: Moonlighter;364483Limited availability over the next few days.
Going to be house sitting for my Uncle. Unsure if I'll take my PC or not, but if I don't, no NWN.
EDIT: .. Monday, by the earliest, Wednesday by the latest, for my return. I did not bring my PC, so I won't be able to get in game. It'll be a while.
And I'm back.
Some issues fixed, others have popped up, leaving me with instead of little time/ability to play, none at all.
I'll be back when I can! Hopefully before too long.
I'm going out of town this weekend. I will be leaving Friday after work so I won't be IG for a couple days. I'll have forum access and maybe even IRC. Hope to be back around Sunday night. No one die or do anything awesome in the meantime, k? ;)

I'll miss you, spooky shadow lady. =(
College semester is over so I have a good amount of time to devote to EFU. I will be around in full force!
I'll be out for the holiday season, more or less. Depending from the internet connection I may be online or not.
Happy holidays everyone!
I'm back, too! At least for a couple of week, 'till work starts back up. Enjoy it while you can, I know I will!
I'm gone until friday evening eastern time zone. Going to see family, no computers allowed. Happy holidays everyone, merry christmas!
Will be gone.
I'm not aware of any conspiracy against you.
But best of luck, and hopefully you decide to return at some point!
BOM is totally correct. The great conspiracy is against him, after all. >.>
Incidentally, I am back for a little while at least. Keeping a low profile for now while getting a feel for things but it's good to be here!
Welcome back, ToH :)
I've recently found myself having enough time to play again and I'm wondering what is the best method of getting back into the swing of things. Dreading up the ol' character or starting fresh? And where should I start?

Back now.
I'm on vacation now, to return on January 2nd. I might get some light play in until then, but nothing significant.
PCs: Tobit, Krelgen
I will be gone from the 3rd of January until about the 13th of January. I'll have forum access, but no means of getting ingame. :)
I am now officially away!
All being well I might have the time to play again this week onwards
I am traveling until Thursday, and will likely be away from NWN unless my laptop stops being silly. I know it's awkward to have this gap of activity in my plot until then but we'll just have to work with it. Prepare for death and destruction when I return.
Somewhat erratical/non-existent playtimes due to exams coming up.
As many of you probably haven't noticed, I am not around for awhile.
School is starting and I wanted a change of pace from efu. See you in a few weeks!
Internet's gone to shit, hates NwN.
Will be back in an indeterminate amount of time.
Could be a day to a week, or longer.
Back to work after the holiday break. Will be playing but quite a bit less than usual. Alas...
Sorry I've been away, I've been in the hospital and had to go under the knife, but hopefully I'll be able to return to play soon.
On break
Back!
Not going to be around a lot this weekend, or very reachable. Spending it with some friends! Might be around late tonight/Sunday, depending.
I need to take a break from EFU for a little bit. I'll probably be back in a couple days.
I'll still be around on IRC if needed for whatever.
Not sure if this is the place to put it- but I shall be retiring Ricardus Cannavo for the time being to pursue another concept. If anyone needs to speak to him in the next couple of days please PM me otherwise see you IG on my new toon.

i return in glory
My laptop is being very temperamental of late; I'll be back around hopefully this weekend when I get a chance to fix it.
My laptop broke down a couple of months ago and I finally got it fixed a short while ago (hooray warranty). I discovered, though, that in the meantime, the little faction that my goblin character had been active in had all but died out for various reasons, and currently I feel uninspired both to continue playing him as well as to create a new character. On top of which my RL has been busy of late, too.
So I will be doing other things for now and return again only once I've an interesting concept and enough time to pull it off. Apologies to all I'd been involved with; this has really been a combination of bad luck and poor timing.
I am back!
I am off again. I can't say when I'll be back; my apologies to all I've been involved with. :/
I'll be away until Saturday - although I might be able to jump on here and there for a short time.
PCs Saranna and Tremulous
Okay, I need to do some serious work on a RL project but if I make decent progress I'll be back in the middle or at the end of the next week.
After epic descent into the stabfest that is Ryse, I'm back in action!
As some have probably noticed, I've been very scarce lately. Got seasonal work two weeks ago, so my EFU time was severely curtailed. I'll probably have more free time when my semester begins.
You can't spell PVP without VP. I'm planning to hop back into action soon, so if you have an idea for the near future and would like me to hop on as a lackey, lead, or something else, just run it by me through PMs here on the forums or in IRC if I happen to be in there.
I am returned...
IG presence greatly reduced until the 2th of February.
Back early. RL, it seems, is overrated.
Out for the time being.
Some of you have probably noticed my presence dwindling lately, and ultimately keeping it up in light of RL things is proving a chore. I'll return to form in about a month, I expect.
Out til Sunday most likely, work related absence.
Quote from: Mortui;368299Internet's gone to shit, hates NwN.

And I'm back, dunno if it's gonna be a permanent back, but I'm back.
I never use this thread. I usually just disappear or something.
... but this time I think I will make use of it.
I am back to work, folks. My vacation has reached its end, so I won't be seen around as often as I have been in the past month. Also, I won't be seen by the same usual time I have been logging.
I hope we still can push the awesome things we have planned for the server, although.
Budo the Bloodletter of #SalvationMole won't be seen IG for 2 weeks as I am leaving for TOBAGO tomorrow.
I am off and away, out of town until Feb 7. I know that two-week gap is awkward plot-wise, but unfortunately it's just something we'll have to live with. Hoping to make things intense when I get back.
Gone skiing from 30th Jan - 9th Feb.
Away for the weekend.
Back from beating Might and Magic X. Which is a fun game I might add.
I need to take a break. I will see you guys in a bit.
Gonna take a couple days of a breather... I WILL RETURN.
/
Even more lol, can I make my own IRC channel too?
Taking a day or two to cool down from recent events. I will be back, still checking forums doing forum paperwork cleanup from everything ect anyway.
May be away for a few days. Sister's labour has not turned out so well.
Oh, I am so sorry, Kleonogogy :(
My deepest sympathies. Spend all the time with her she needs.
:( Hope everything turns out well Kleonogogy
Quote from: Kleonogogy;371804May be away for a few days. Sister's labour has not turned out so well.
Back for a couple days.. Then leaving to the US on Fri/Sat night.
If someone wants to meet in Dallas for a couple pints, shoot me a PM :)
Back.
IG time will be limited and sparse for perhaps the next week or so. I'll try to be around for important stuff and schemez where applicable.
Struggling with work/life/EFU balance at the moment. I need to progress on the former before I can get back the later!
Road trip, won't be on much this weekend.
-Player of Tremulous Tosscobble and Saranna Listaat
Saint Louis weather sucks, no road trip this weekend. Game on!
I have some time to be active with EFU for a while.
I'll probably be a little bit more active now.
I'm having spotty internet issues atm. Have been all day. No idea how long it will last... Hopefully, it's better by tomorrow!
EDIT: Called my cable company and bitched and I'm stable again. Hopefully it stays that way!
My weekdays are settling down, so I'll be around on a more regular basis again.
Going to take it easy on the EFU for a bit. If you need me for something PM me on the forums.
N-No...
:c
Out of game for a week or two, vacation time.
Work will keep me out for the next week, hopefully back in action over the following weekend (March 8thish.)
Hope to return to playing EFU soon.
Just wanted to give a heads up, my internet is completely trash right now...keeps dropping like every 20 minutes. As such my play time is going to be limited till they run a new line and get it fixed.
I'll be around, but its getting difficult to stay IG...
Hey, EfU. I have missed everyone and I just wanted to let anyone who cares know why I've been away.
I ran out of inspiration after my last couple of attempts at characters so I decided I needed to take a break. I have since immersed myself in a lot of deeply character-driven stories (finally got around to finishing Song of Ice and Fire, Walking Dead, etc.) in an effort to get the old wheels turning again. I don't think I'm quite ready to come back yet, but I'm close.
While I've been gone, I've noticed that what I miss most about this place is the people, not the characters. I can't stay away from you folks for too much longer or else I'm going to burst. I expect to be back soon, not necessarily with some epic world-beater of a character, but hopefully with some concepts that will prove superior to my previous efforts.
In short, I miss you, and I've been away doing my homework.
YAY PAC. You're missed buddy.
You were missed. 4 realz
I will be away for a full day or so as I am changing address and there's much moving to be done.
Finishing up a move, will be little play time today and tomorrow.
I guess I'm kinda playing again. We'll see how it goes.
Work done for a bit, play time will be on the rise.
Short break is turning into a long break with RL stuff coming up. Apologies to anyone who was involved in my current PC.
A bit late but, I was/am gone for this weekend due to visiting family. I have my PC but have opted out of logging on Neverwinter for a few days, will be back tonight/monday.
Out 'til this coming friday for a trip, will still be around on the forums though.
The 10th is my birthday so I'll probably be gone for most of the day.
♥
Some friends are coming in from out of town this weekend, so I'll be out most of the 14th-16th. I'll continue checking in on the forums, and as always I'll be logged in to IRC.
I'm visiting some friends for the weekend. I won't be on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Should be back Monday night for some St. Patty's drunken EFU.
PCs:
- Tremulous Tosscobble
- Saranna Listaat
Not gonna be online very much, if at all, for the next couple of days- I'll still be on IRC and the forums. Will be back by Friday!
Real life's taken hold of me. So I won't be around too consistently.
Out of town this weekend should be back around Sunday/Monday night.
I will be away this weekend.
Away until sunday
Play time will be sporadic until monday. Expect abrupt and unannounced logging. Still many hospital calls and visits to attend.
Back from Spring Break (Spring Break 2014 wooo!) So I should be smoothing back into some real playtimes
I'm going to be away for the next 5-6 days as part of a camping trip.
See you guys then!
After a few whirlwind months of working dead-end part times jobs, surviving the polar vortexes of the American Midwest, getting engaged on a cliff off the coast of France, and finally securing stable full-time employment, I'm back in action. I'll at least be on IRC, mayhaps I'll find a concept and hop IG- though that won't be until at least a week from now when I reduce my amount of jobs from three to two.
I return.
Quote from: Blast9getting engaged on a cliff off the coast of France,
Congratulations!
Work's picked up and I've lost a lot of play time. I have no idea how long it'll be going at this pace.
In Florida for next week or so..if I can get the game up and running on a machine there, I will be about, slightly earlier tz..if not..Wyran is on Sabbatical until I return.
Siiick :(
Will log when I get better
Off for weekend, back monday!

I'm off until Friday. Moving house.

So yeah, back from TX, moved to new apartment back here in PL, killed my ISP for pulling some crap on me, got a new one, cat likes new apartment, I like it too, girlfriend likes it, everyone is happy.
So should start being around again pretty often soon and I know how much you despise me being around. :)
Whilst I have been away with work the past week I see the absence being extended as I have also managed to crack my laptop screen... oops. :)
Ouch, that sucks! >.< Hope you can get it replaced soon :(
I'll be gone most of this weekend as it's dedicated to movienight/DnD/LARPing and such with a group of friends of mine. I'll still try to get on and do my duties as a Sergeant when I can.

If you manage to convince a bunch of them to try it out I promise to run some sort of prelude for their characters ;)

Some of them actually bought NWN trying to get on here, but they bought it over GoG and they seem a bit slow about sending Multiplayer keys (It's been like, a month)
My computer broke and I'm building a new one, so expect not to see me in game for a day or two!
Somehow caught the omegaflu. Won't be in-game for a couple days probably but between bouts of consciousness I might check the forums.

I hope you realize that sick or not, you are still obligated to play DOTA with me.
Just not feeling it, gonna take a little break.
See you guys whenever I get back.
Going to take a break for a time.
EDIT: Back after taking the weekend off.
I won't be back online until Monday evening, at which point the scheming and plotting can continue.
Off for a bit. Back later.
Correction to the above. I am off #EfU for a bit. I'll stay ingame.
Been semi-inactive these last couple months with Fleena, but wanted to let you all know I'm not gone for good....just.....give me a few weeks :-)
Taking a break from the game.
I have returned to work and will have considerably reduced playtime for the foreseeable future. I might manage the occasional hour or two online over the weekend, though!

Not going to be around as much, feel free to pm me on IRC or the forums if you need me.
HEY!
Won't be around until friday.
But I have a break from school in tuesday, which means (I hope) more EFU time!
On break, Spring Break, I'll hang out in IRC, but i won't be IG for the Watch to take mah money.
On hiatus.
Shortest break ever.
Exams and papers have kept me busy the last week or so, and will continue to for another week. I will still be around, just not as active as I usually am. Feel free to message me on IRC if you need me.
Might pop in tonight or otherwise in the near future, once I can finish planning a character that I can stick to and muster enough motivation to roll it. =)
must depart for 2+ months, adieu

Good luck in your exams and hope you ace them all!
Should probably log in once or twice a week at least to pay the rent for the Temple of the Weave, though. <_<
My shortish break turned into a much longer one than expected! I miss EFU and the people who populate it too much to stay away though, and I will be playing again; sporadically at first but hopefully with more regularity soon.
Welcome back among friends, Ommadawn. Looking forward to seeing your new PC when I get back in game :)
House sitting for my Uncle starting tomorrow until Friday or Saturday. Availability might be a bit sketch for a while. Considering taking my desktop this time.
I haven't been feeling particularly inspired, so I'm going to take a break for another week or two.
Work picking up starting tmrw, will be ig sporadically at best until the 21st..
I am kind of distracted by RL matters just now. I will be back but I really can't say when. Might be a day or a week or something totally random. I will peek into IRC at times so people can yell at me if they want me for something.
~tOH.
I will be visiting my maternal family in China.
I leave April 26th and may be away as long as May 17th. I do not expect this to inconvenience a soul.
"...I do not expect this to inconvenience a soul." Lies, we will miss you. Safe travels
I'll have limited availability until Friday due to Work Stuff.
Edit: Starting tomorrow (tuesday)
Off to a place with little or no internet connectivity until the 10th. There's a slim chance I'll be able to check forums or IRC over what spotty cell coverage exists in the middle of nowhere, but I'm not banking on it.

On that note, I'm delaying my return for a while longer. Perhaps another week or two.
be safe, Stranger. Hope you come back to us soon, Siren. Take whatever time you like, however.
I am only available on request for a good while now. Acacia is busy concocting various new ways to annoy Abala.
Will have little playing time the next couple days.
Taking a short break from EfU.
Doing a fair bit of traveling, including going to PAX this weekend! I'll be gone from EFU until Monday or Tuesday.
This week I've had to be able to drop what I'm doing within 10-20 minutes' notice for most of the day, so my playtime has been spotty, and probably will be until this weekend. I'll be back on a lot more by Friday or Saturday.
Ok guys, sorry to say but I'm headed to huntsville till sunday night, chaperoning for my brother/sister school field trip..
Don't know If I'll have any internet or not...so either I'll be on occasionally...or I won't be on till sunday. This means I'll miss the event probably, oh well.
(I'll still stalk IRC though)
With Zsigmond retired, I think I'm going to take a bit of a break. Won't be gone too long, though! Thanks, EFU, and keep going strong. :)
Most probably out for the weekend
Away from saturday onwards for a week. Some pesky work obligations to attend to that require absence from the computer, and boots in spring thaw mud.
Out til next Sunday, work.
Experiencing serious technical difficulties with my NWN-capable computer. I can hop on with my laptop for short stints, but it's not capable of handling anything significant. Hopefully I'll be back by Monday, but this isn't looking good.
Going to be busy with school during the weeks so I'll be on a lot during the weekends, only for a couple hours during weekdays :) i'l try to keep up my fellow players, game on.
I've returned from an insane PAX experience. Should be back starting tonight.
Going to stop playing EFU until I get the desire to play again. I'll likely be in IRC on occasion.
I shall be working through this week, so my play time is severely reduced. I'll try to be around during the late afternoon, though.
Finals is a hell of a drug. Kalek will be stomping around again sometime next week.
Figured I should at least give a warning this time, considering It's much the same as last. Time issues and obligations make playing efu far more difficult than it should be, I'll be around, but it might well get very scarce depending.
Unfortunately, I'm going to continue to not be around as much as I'd like for a little bit. I will try to be on as much as I can, but we'll see.
Had taken a bit of a break due to spring break, but I'm back now!
Work Completed. Will be back ig with much more regularity.
A bit busy with the end of the school year approaching, expect me to not be on as much
Quote from: Davenfelth;381920Away from saturday onwards for a week. Some pesky work obligations to attend to that require absence from the computer, and boots in spring thaw mud.
Back! A bit of a delay, but back.
I'm gonna be on sorta sporadically, can't dedicate enough time to this just now.
Break from school is over. So I'll be on a lot less and mostly in GMT evenings and weekends. Had wonderful two weeks EFU :)
Will come to kill some Chosen whenever I can!
I didn't think to make a post until now, but I am currently embroiled in the last few days of my current semester. Between finals and a few lingering online assignments I will probably not be around as much for a few more days. This has been something of a problem the last week or so, and it's prevented me from getting more involved things going IC. I should be in the clear and ready to seriously move forward by the weekend.
Away for a little bit back Monday or Tuesday :)
I am actually back now. Right after I made my earlier post I ended up getting sick.
I am basically returned. My old laptop has served me thus far, but it overheats repeatedly, so I can't do anything too intensive. My new laptop is currently being fixed, however, and I expect it to be done soon (considering I spent extra money to have it fixed fast...)
I'm going into the last month of my school semester and I am beginning to realize that I cannot currently give as much energy to my current character as I feel the community deserves. So I have decided to set aside Suguno Everone, my Steward character, for the next four weeks while I rap up this semester. Thanks everyone for the good times, hopefully this month passes quick =)
edit: resolved
My playtime is somewhat limited again. If you want to get my attention send me a forum PM, which will ping my inbox for a next-to-immediate response.
I will be on a bit less as the semester comes to a close. Afterwards my play time will be quite vast.
Have a wedding to go to this weekend which will take me out of state, so I'll be scarce IG/forum-wise from Thursday to Monday.
My activity is going to be spotty for a little while. Health issues in the family. I'll still be around in IRC.
Mostly averted for now. Got good news, not out of the woods yet.
Not gonna be on very much for a bit! Things are a little hectic for me so I am expecting an activity drop. I'll be around IRC/forums and will get IG sporadically.
Right, unfortunatly...several RL things just popped up... So my regular play time is going to be semi-eratic... meaning a few hours here and there..but then a day or two gone..
It will probably last a few weeks like this, if not a few months.
I -will- still be around though...just not really much time to really get into plots, do any major things.
Sporadic times until I finish up a few things with school.
I had told a couple of players yesterday that I'd be in game by now. Some real life things have come up, and it won't be until later tonight (in a few hours) that I'm able to make it online.
Not really a "leaving" post, but I just didn't want to leave anybody hanging.
Grandfather's in the hospital, Hale wont be around much this weekend. Should be back to normal Monday.
Edit: Actually, looks like he's only got a cold and an alarmist neighbor. All is good once again.
Zigunkuros Rullenia is back in action. After a swamped work schedule and a few OOC frustrations I'll be repairing the sewer more then ever.
On break whilst I get some stuff in order.
Not having as much fun as I'd like right now, and school's getting busy (The two may be connected).
So it's a golden time for a break! I'll be back in a week or two.
Keep on rocking! :D
PC just partially died.
Lost a 120gb SSD which is a huge pain in the ass. gonna cost a bit to replace, will probably be away for a few days to a week until I get this fixed up.
Leaving: May 23rd
Returning: June 1st
From now until the 23rd my play time will be reduced, and after that time I will not be available to play at all until the beginning of June (might be able to do some forum work, but man I'm gonna be busy).
But after that, I should be changing my work schedule and may be able to play more.
I am back.
I'm still around, but I've had a project come up that's taking up a lot of the time I'd normally use for EFU. I'm still reachable by forums and I can log in upon request. Should be returning to more regular playing times later in the week.
Caught up in some real life obligations. Back Wednesday likely.
Real life has made it so I likely won't be able to make it ig for a bit.
I'll won't be rockin' it in EFU Thursday through Monday. I'll probably be back on Tuesday night.
-Gracken
Tremulous, Saranna
I'll be taking a break. I'll return when my mind is cleared. Party on, folks.
____
I was convinced otherwise, I'll be in game. Sorry for the false alarm.
Won't be around for tonight. Might still be on IRC.
As, well, probably everyone involved with Hale is already aware, but is worth repeating- right now is my finals season. My finals end Tuesday and Hale'll be back in full! For now, though, I'm completely panicked and dont have a lot of time for EfU! 2 5 credit lab classes is a mistake I will -NEVER- make again.
I'm back. In pog form.
I'll be giving Horace a bit of a break, but I will return in 1-2 Weeks!
Should be able to be Ig for about 3 days or so, off and on.
Just an FYI
I have some important training this week so I won't be available until likely Monday next. very sorry..be patient.. i'll be on when I can.
I think I'm burnt out, so I'm going to take a break, don't know how long or short it will be, but I'll return. I'm feeling like I need to focus on my RL right now, see you on the flip side.
That was a much needed break, but time to get back on!
I'll be back on tomorrow!
I believe I shall be taking a break for a little bit. Burned out.
Back for now.
I'm taking a break until Friday this week.
The prize for making EFU count IRL goes to Kobold-Lord AKMatt! Looooooved the Spice! :D -- I haven't been able to use my arms to even turn on a light-switch without pain since Sunday. Mashing keyboard buttons has taken it's toll for now. I must be unfit or something; gonna sort it with a few days rest AFK.
Peace out for now, EfU....... :)
As I have exams fast approaching I've decided to take a brief hiatus to focus on studies. I may be running one specific thing in this week, but other than that please do not approach me with requests for anything IG as I will have to disappoint you. I will be back in action fully come the 23rd/24th.
Back! Until Friday, then my times will become sporadic again, and my timezone will flip, as I travel across europe. Still should be around occasionally, though, as I have internet most places I'm going.
I am going to be scarce for at least the next week as I said earlier. I will probably be on IRC etc.
My playtime is going to be severely decreased for the time being so consider me out for a while! If anyone needs me or my PC to log in for anything feel free to send a PM and I will do my best to make it but I just can't justify spending so much of my time playing EfU right now, as fun as it is :-)
Agent of the Eggocalypse/Jack Wyverntail
Going to Utah for a week to attend a mass marriage ceremony and hopefully find a wife. I'll be back in a week, with more time to play, as hopefully my wife will take care of my day to day business.
And its friday- meaning suddenly I'm CEST. I'll try to still be around as much as I can, but times are gonna go down again for the next three weeks. I'm in no way retiring Hale, just a busy RL time for me.
Won't be about IG until the 29th as on holiday. Will still be on forums, as I am sat by the pool on the tablet most of the day.
I'm back in the United States and have slept off my jet lag.
I'll be able to devote mentionable amounts of time to Neverwinter Nights or forum writing.
Speaking of the United States, I am headed there tomorrow. While I'll be around the next month, it will be at reduced playtime, I suspect; also, my laptop is sometimes cranky about running NWN. Still, I won't be completely gone :)
~tOH.
I will be gone for a while, a month or a couple I am guessing but for all I know it could be a week. See you all when I get back (when ever that is)
On a very short hiatus. Coinciding with my work's annual stock inspection, so RL's being real busy and a pain, too.
I'll be back in a few more days, and spotty for the week after that. I've got school projects all week and Finals the week after that, so busy.

I'm back! Hello, it's been a while. Looking good, all of you.
Frustration has set in. Time for a break. Day or two, I suppose, to get my head straight.
5/22: Back ingame now.
I'm going to be out of town on vacation for a bit over a week, starting tomorrow afternoon. If you have any last minute business with Gerhardus I suggest getting in touch with me on IRC asap.
I am taking a small break from EfU. I'll be back in a few days, maybe a couple of weeks.
I'm mostly back and had more time to play, but my old laptop decided to explode horrifically and I had to buy a new PC. NWN is on it now so I may be getting back in game soon.
Kind of frustrated atm, gonna take it easy on the EFU for a bit. Or try to.
Taking a road trip for the Memorial Day weekend. Won't be on much.
Quote from: Vlaid;389417Kind of frustrated atm, gonna take it easy on the EFU for a bit. Or try to.
Same..day or two..maybe a week..meh. Probably an hour..
Taking a couple days off. PM if you need me!
I'm kind of sort of back but am currently playing on a cranky laptop that will run everything else perfectly but randomly crashes NWN every ten minutes or so. It is taking some of the wind out of my sails, unfortunately.
~tOH.
Going to be busy the next two days with other obligations. I'll be on the forums but I don't think I'll have much time to log in.
Gonna use this forum to let the people I am involved with know that I will be off the line until next week tuesday due to moving places.
- Painbearer Geodore Lesanq
I'm taking an extremely extended break.
I've been busy with work and other commitments. Hopefully returning IG next week.
I am back.
My activity will be picking up shortly!
I've been struggling with characterization. My writing has been unsatisfactory to my own eyes.
I am present, but not meaningfully until I create a personality I can hook into.
Activity is likely to dip for the next few weeks while I undergo a move.
Mad again. Monk life. Time to take another break.
Still on vacation! Currently typing in a guest house in South Slovenia. Hale, and I, will return in one more week.
I was out till Wednesday but then something came up, I will be seeing you IG more so than before, rep Society thugs.
Annoyed to say, I'll be busy for a few days.
Thursday-Late night school work
friday-venture crew work
saturday-sailing, will be back in the afternoon.
Card'll be brooding!
Quote from: Doc-Holiday;387517Just an FYI
I have some important training this week so I won't be available until likely Monday next. very sorry..be patient.. i'll be on when I can.
I finished the training and have expanded my responsibilities, with summer coming there are some significant changes that will require more of my time. I regret to inform those of the House of Healing that I do not have the time to put into Mikael, I am broken hearted about it. I happen to be out with a migraine today, which is why I have the time to post here (feeling mostly normal at the moment).
And I'm back, if a little- tiny bit- jetlagged. Look for me IG!
I just canceled my contract with my ISP in hopes that my building's WIFI would be sufficient. It's not. So, I'll have to decide whether to get a new contract, or to just relocate to somewhere with reliable internet when I play.
Either way, I'll be spending less time in game, but maybe a little more time on the forum side - maybe some more Scrapper.. uh... "romance" novels.
Finals time, so cutting of a lot of EFU time. Until the start of July I'll probably be on only on weekends (this includes IRC, so PM me on the forums if you need me). Keep on rocking.
It's the auditing period and problems continue to crop up incessantly at work, eating deeply into my free time. Thus, my activity level will have to stay rather low for the next one to two weeks.
RL has been unexpectedly demanding the past few days. My activity level will likely be low and stay low for at least a week or so. If I am wanted for something in particular, however, I should be able to log on if notified in advance on IRC or in PMs.
~tOH.
Going to be very busy the next few weeks. Will be around IRC and might be able to pop IG for brief periods. Don't expect much activity.
Friday is the last day of the audit. My activity should rise again after that!
*sighs* I'll be Out of Game until my main computer gets fixed, or until I can get NWN working on this one. Curse you endless loop of Aptio Setup Utilitys death! ( Pretty sure that's the name, apparrently my hard-drive is destroyed.. no idea, really. ) Directly after I get my app approved, to <.<
I shall at least be out for next week, even if my computer is fixed, due to Summer camp.
Character(s): Clover Whitetree
Very real possibility that I could be without internet for a while as I move into a new place. Ideally it's only for the weekend, but it might draw on for over a week.
send cookies and free hot spots plz.
Taking a break from NWN for a while as work picks up over the summer.
I'm in the process of moving. I'll be back IG when I get settled in and establish the proper furniture
Seems it didnt take that long--back!
Going to be scarce for a week or so as I'll be on vacation.
At local comic con this weekend, so low activity. Inquisition will continue monday.
Sorry for frequent gaps in activity, RL's been busy lately.
Going to be scarce for this coming week. I'm a speedrun fan and Summer Games Done Quick (//%22https://gamesdonequick.com/%22) runs until the 28th, so that's going to eat up a lot of my free time while it's on. I'm still reachable by forum and IRC PM, however.
Hey all, I'll be back with a new character in a few weeks...few months...sometime, it shall happen. In the meantime, keep rocking it out EFU!
My internet was dead for a bit there. It's good now. Hopefully that won't happen again.
EDIT: On hiatus while I soul search/concept/motivate myself to start from scratch again.
Noooo.
hope you return soon moonlighter.
A new EFU, a new character! Time to read the forums and download some hak packs!
Hey I remember you; you played that crazy elf on Arabel ages ago right?
I wouldn't say any of my characters are _crazy_ per se... elves are supposed to be chaotic, right?
Going to be gone for a while, checking the forums every now and then.
Underdark is a setting I hate and I am finding it incredibility hard to keep to a concept. So hopefully will be back with something I can stick with.
Fighting those machines, random goblins, and flying chosen were good times!
Hello. I'm trying my hands on this game again.
Work cut my playtime down dramatically this week, back tmrw, thru Sunday, then gone for another week. Damn family keeps wanting to eat and so on...

Welcome back!!
Quote from: cmenden;394756I wouldn't say any of my characters are _crazy_ per se... elves are supposed to be chaotic, right?
Only in the sense of them being crazy awesome. I still fondly remember your potion selling adverts! :)
cmenden :) i'm happy to have you here to break my heart again.
Stayed up until 3AM using my PC with very little problems. Go to bed.
Wake up 5 hours later.
It's powered off. That's strange. Power it on. It loads into Windows. I log into my admin account. It powers off instantly. I try to restart it. It powers off on the POST screen. I try to open the BIOS, it powers off.
Not sure what's wrong, but given that I work as a caretaker for the elderly members of my family I genuinely lack the income to see my PC fixed. Not sure how long I'm going to be absent- I'm typing this from the shitty internet explorer X360 app- but it's probably going to be a while unless one of my friends takes pity on me, or has an extra PSU or something lying around. I'm not holding my breath on either of those.
I hope to see all you lovely folks soon.
Graphic card, memory failure or HD issues. One of those is what I would expect. PSU power, it likely wouldn't even run if it was that, at all. Or it might boot up. Motherboard wouldn't run if it was broken, at all quite likely. CPU same. Open the case, and carefully clean it from dust. That is one option.
When you do this, make sure to have touched metallic object before touching the machine or components, do not wipe it with any cloth or some sort unless it's anti-static, and possibly carefully vacuum it even if that's bit risky. Try to keep a hold on the metallic case / something else metallic when you do fiddle inside the case, then try again.
Gone for the next week, M-Fri. No forum access, or irc, til my return.
NOOOoooooooOOooOOoOOoOooooo!
Don't want to talk too soon, but it seems like I got it fixed. Shoutouts to my real life friend having a 650w PSU and some arctic silver just lying around gathering dust!
Moving has been keeping me both busy and without internet. I'll return soon, probably in a day or two, with more deep Netherese purple swag.
Not much of a change from currently, just tossing an official heads up, I'll be sparse for a while. Haven't been able to get into much lately IG.
Stay classy.
Hey.
I'll be away for two weeks.
Short n' sweet, eh? ;)
Back from hiatus.
Real life has got a hold of me, I have to leave for a bit. I hope to be back soon.
Back! While my laptop is still broken, I'm 'round and in game.
Been afk for a bit and will continue to be afk for the next couple weeks while I travel.
Like most Americans my schedule is going to be busy around the 4th of July. I may be around part of Thursday and Friday afternoons Pacific time, and I can definitely log in upon request, but the evenings are occupied. Saturday is completely taken up. I'll be around again full-time on Sunday, Pacific morning / afternoon.
Currently sick, will be around more once I'm not taking medicines that make me sleep all day long.
Get well soon
I am returned.
Back tuesday/wednesday.
Haven't had a lot of time to play the last few days. Might not today either. Back with a vengeance soon.
Exams are over.
So you'll have to suffer my presence a lot more this next 2-3 months ^^
Feeling much better now so I'll be around again.
Back from some RL business.
After a 5+ month binge on EFU, taking a week or so to play the hell out of some Divinity: Original Sin. Reachable by IRC if you need me for some reason, otherwise I'll be back mid to late next week.
Well, while I am basically new and not a lot of people know me. I will still just tell that I am leaving, for those few that do. While it was really fun playing efu, I am just not feeling like playing more games in general at the moment. I must admit, I have learned a lot of interesting ideas behind game mechanics playing this game. It has also been a ton of fun, met some really enjoyable people, thanks for all that. I do hope you continue on having fun here.
The character I mainly played was
-Merom Paestan-
Although to be honest I made a ton of them.
Bye

Dude no way, you're a good player. Please stick around.
Away for a few days, back on the 20th of July.
Flying to Budapest for the weekend. Gonna be back ig on Monday.

This is the reason too for my prolonged absence.
Just letting everyone know what might be rather obvious. I'm still playing, but for the time being my playtime is drastically reduced. I'll come back full swing here soon, just need to recharge my batteries and tackle some real life things that have been piling up. ^_^
Out for a few days with school holidays, hope to pick up soon.
Out for 8 days starting tomorrow, see you all after.
Away for a week, later all.
Going to be on less for the next week or two.
Out for about a week as well, starting tomorrow!
EVO Weekend, limited availability. Message me in advance if you'll need me, and I can get on.
Everyone needs to stop leaving!
BRB 1 Week, Holiday.
Lol yes! in one week everyones going to just pop back ._.
Out til Weekend, work.
Insanely busy at work for the foreseeable future.
I'm back...
There have been some changes but...time to resume what I've been working on. See you later in-game! ;)
Going out of town for a week. Dont have too much without me.
Heading out for the weekend! see y'all sunday. White Water Rafting AHOY!
Don't really have the time at the moment to get too involved with things, so taking a likely indefinite break. May be back at some point, but we'll see!
I have returned.
back
In the middle of a move. It'll likely be a day or two while I get settled.
Back :)
Back! Let the fun begin
As some might have noticed, I haven't been logging on too much. I found work recently and expect to be at it until around September. Will still log on from time to time, but don't expect much.

Wife's going into labour, so I'll be somewhat scarce and probably eratic.

Great to hear! :D

[17:18] So. My cable company randomly decided to shut off my internet for two whole days. That's where I've been.
Out this weekend for road trip to St Louis WNBR. Back Sunday night.
Heading out for the weekend again, I'll be back sunday. Adious!
Player of: clover Whitetree and Mili Gwenether
I'm back. But have major pc issue. Hope to have it fix soon
Out of game until the end of august. God bless holidays.
Back, Holo!
Vegas and baseball games be back soon.
Beginning tomorrow morning I will be gone to travel around South England and Wales with my gf for ten days. So beware Brits!
Have fun while I am gone!
I'll have limited access to internet services from the 31. of this month til the 12. of next month. So I will likely not be on EFU for that time period.
[Edit]: I may be able to push it off a few days.
Trip is delayed for a week, will be in game.
I need to disappear until, at most, August 5th.
I will be back.
I play Erania. My home internet connection is down for a week.
Need a break, be back when I cool off... could be days, weeks dunno.
-Figan
I am off on vacation until August 12th.
I rolled a new pc right away and I like it, but I feel that I need to unwind a little before coming back for good. It's still sort of weird to interact with the same people about the same things under the angle of someone who wouldn't care much.
I'll take a break of nondescript lenght, mull on the concept and let the scenery and PCs reset completely. See you soon!
Ps: I'll still answer to private messages.
Down the shore for the weekend. I will hopefully be out of my rut soon.
Another few days before I can be IG in full again.
I'll be out of town and not IG until Monday night (August 4th).
Won't be IG for the next 5-6 days.
break for a couple days, probably
So..I have not been around alot, took a bit of a break., to reinvigorate the rp machine. In that time, my computer blue screened..and died. I have a fancy new one. and man..it is really nice to not have m IRC crash any other program I have up..but I have yet to get Windows 8.1 and NWN to cooperate..so..til I get it all sorted..I will be lurking on forums, irc..but no game :(
Bleh. Out of Game for a few days, at the latest being the eigth.
Taking a break for a while, time indeterminate. I've got a large backlog of long-delayed personal projects and eight months' worth of unplayed games staring balefully at me from my desktop, and EFU is feeling more like obligation than recreation as a result. I won't be checking the forums regularly, but PMs are forwarded to my email and I'll respond to them. I might hop in-game upon request for certain events, or just upon feeling the urge, but it'll be irregular for a while.
Assume Ialadris is in the Temple of Hoar, doing the Harbinger equivalent of back-office work.
Unfortunately, having arrived on the ship that will be my home for the next five months, the problem is not, as I'd feared, low internet speeds and bad connectivity through sattelite, but rather something as mundane as the WiFi signal not reaching my cabin. That would mean playing NWN in the ship's office, but I can't, because online gaming is strictly forbidden, and while I'm prepared to break that rule, it's probably a bad idea doing so in front of everybody.
So, sorry! I'm out for five months.
My play times are becoming more rare for an extended and unknown period of the time. Sorry.
Internets been a bit spotty lately as such my activity is limited to when it actually functions correctly. Which I'm not sure of when.
Suffered a close family loss, out for a while.
Hagkir Kingarhd's handler here.
Been out for the past week or so due to predominantly innurnet issues, specifically with it being fickle due to a temporary share of bandwidth. Plan to be back in full force sometime in the coming week.
Look forward to joining back up with my Tempered kinnies if you all haven't died from lack of a proper front-liner to walk into traps for you.
Might roll a new character to come back soon (tonight?). Friends, new boyfriend and moving houses twice in the recent past have kept my attention away from the internet... I had a dream about EfU a couple days back and woke up with a huge itch to play that won't leave... guess I can't help being nerdy...
Since my life's slowing down again I figure it's the perfect time to check up on things =)
Sorry to those who've lost contact with me or wondered what I was up to these past months, any weird nicknames related to mermaids in-game will probably be me! (as usual)
Hope to (re)meet some new and old roleplayers soon =)
Vagrant Savant: I have indeed missed Hagkir very much
Siren: I was wondering just two days ago where you ran off to. WB!
We've felt your lack Vandal. I have too, and I've only been in gme for three hours in the past week. Which is why Im making this post. I have another project underway currently that has captured my attention. It means I'm already spending 6-8 hours everyday online working on the coding. Getting on efu afterwards is a bit too much computer for me. So my playtime will be sketchy over the next week or so--but I'll get back into the mix soon.
Rock on efu!
Quote from: goate;402095Siren: I was wondering just two days ago where you ran off to. WB!
Hi! Thanks =D
My time IG's going to increase a lot in the next few days.
Internets (Thankfully) improved. Though with my Birthsday tomorrow and me just returning to the busy life of not-having-vacation after a months of relaxation means I probably wont be seen till a few days from now.
I've been starting to have some issues with motivation and getting back into a character I really enjoy playing. Going to take a break for a little while and regain some of my drive. Stay classy EFU!
I have suddenly been struck by the dreaded no motivation to play and with looming school and real life interests such as my cousin visiting from Germany, you may consider me on extended break for awhile. Maybe a week or two, or or more.
Hmm. Yeah I'm having a hard time to keep my motivation up as well (Which can probably be easily noted by the fact I haven't really been on.). I may be on a break from now on. Sorry to those it affects, I hope I'll see you again soon.
Gone till Monday.
As some of you may have noticed, I am a little busy at the moment so my time in game will be rather drastically reduced for a while...
Ditto here, actually. I ought to be around again starting Monday, possibly Tuesday at the latest.
EDIT: Back to in game shenanigans.
Got a new freelance contract (read: $$$tack$) so I'm gonna be sporadic until around Wednesday.
Alright, I'm going to likely be out of game Monday through friday until school ends, Exceptions ( such as Momentous events, Holidays, and otherwise) apply. I'll be on the forums like crazy though!
I'm going to be on a break for a while. Think I've been playing efu too much and I'm now drained of any creativity.
I'm still around, but I need a bit of a break from EFU to recharge. I'll be back within a week. Still will be on IRC and checking forums.
Back in action a day early.
Hide yo kids + wives
Its my birthday today and im leaving to go camping till saturday tomorrow, ill be on a little bit before i leave tomorrow. Otherwise see on saturday!
Back from holiday
Got myself locked up in a Psych Ward for depression/suicidal thoughts, so I'll be gone until things change for me. Consider Sojourner Lyulf Ghuldrom on hiatus until further notice. Cheers.
Sorry for duckin gout last night. little sister had a seizure and we had to run her out. Phone can't prop IRC so mia again.
Holy crap! Hope your sister's gonna be okay, man!
Oh wow RwG. I hope everything turns out just fine!
Also UnholyWon- I hope you get better yourself!
well what with camping tonight this weekend and school starting back up monday, time on computer (playing) is getting cut back, so I might just take this week/2 off until I get a feel for the new schedule etc..
And sorry RWG hope she's ok
Hope you start getting better UnholyWon.
And RwG, hope it's nothing super serious and she's fine.
Taking a couple days away from NWN after tomorrow - going to catch up on my backlog of other games.
A break from EFU is always cool to have once in a while, tinfoilhat. Hope you'll be back soon.
RwG, UnholyWon, I hope things will get better
Out for this weekend due to St Louis road trip, so you won't see me on Saturday or Sunday.
-Gracken/Goate
Im back folks!
I currently have time to be able to make a new character and get some play time in. :D
Should probably have said but I am out of game for next next few days.
Back from a busy real-life schedule.
I haven't been able to get on so much lately, I have a lot going on with school and work. I hope to make a appearance soon enough.
Dwarfisim/efuincarnate is sadly still absent, and will be for the foreseeable future. Still not manged to resurrect my old pc which loved NWN, nor get my new PC to like it enough to run it. I am about to be traveling for some time, so a return may be long in the tooth. Still read the forums and pop into irc from time to time, but Thane Thormund is on a semi to permanent sabbatical until I return and can commit the time needed to sort my hardware issues.
Rock on EFU, I will return, someday!
Taking a small break, my luck with EFU has been poor. So taking a few days off of it.
I recently moved house and have been having some internet problems. Damn thing drops out few minutes. So I might be a week or two away from getting back in game. My Myconid and I will be AWOL til then, see you all IG soon hopefully! :D
my creativity has dropped substantially in the past week or so; will probably start playing again should a prelude pop up, but until then i am out.
Things should be more stable for me now!
Back, with a caveat. Won't have the insane amounts of playtime like yester years. Growing up is a privilege not all people get, but it comes at a cost...
I look forward to weaving some nice new stories.
And a few people asked me so, no, Patrice will almost certainly not be making a reappearance for regular play. It's been too long and his whole shtick was (by design) to be interwoven with others who all went on to do their awesome things. More importantly, he was a mega time-intensive character. Hopefully, I'll get a screenie thread for retirement as soon as I get access to those screenies again.
Oh, and out for my first vacation in 1.5+ years this weekend to go hiking through the Smokies.
Welcome back Garem!
I'm on vacation til Monday, headed to LA. See you all next week
On a mini-vacation, be back around Monday.
My weekend schedule is packed, so I doubt I'll be logging in at all. I expect to be back to my normal play schedule on Monday and beyond.
Right. Rioana lefei and all of my other current charatcers, past or otherwise, are out of my playing options until my laptop or desktop gets fixed. From noe until then, ill most likely be leaching off my brothers computer when he is not home. but due to cd key issues, i cannot play my normal pcs. Hopefully itll be fixed soon!
Rioana lefei and all my other pcs are out until my normal computers are fixed, ill be leaching off my vrothers computer and thus cd key until then
going to be camping for this labor day weekend so i'll be gone in a few hours till monday likely, maybe late sunday
Stuff has been stressful lately. With it calming down, I should be more active in game again.
Doh, forgot to mention I was on holidays, returning ig on tuesday.
Alas, out of game until next monday. Real Life.
I'm afraid that things have really picked up for me IRL and that I really don't have time currently to devote to a serious PC. I apologize to the DMs that took the time to look over my application.
I hope that someday in the future the slimy mechanations of Zlovol Kraaj will be able to be brought to EfU in full.
Not been in game much lately, a lot of stuff happening to distract me. Hope to be more IG soon!
BACK
Back.
Due to semester commencing lately my time dedicated to EFU would become quite sporadic, likely weekend-only with some exceptions a few days from now.
However, I will keep checking for letter, etc. Gah, perhaps time for more forum warrioring! Sorry for any involved in plots with me. I will wrap them up in letters this weekend! There will be an interim around early October I believe.
Keep up the good work! Oh, and you treasure-hunters, this isn't gonna be the end, I promise!
I'm back!. Graduated from college at the tale end of June, and immediately started work on a contract. Contract is up, so i'm here. Been playing around with my xenophobic Human supremacist ranger. Might have seen me around. I haven't been as racist as I had hoped, but rest assured that HEADS WILL ROLL!
I am sorry I can't play now, I'll be back in few weeks.
Currently have the keys of our new apartment in my hand. My presence in the next few weeks will be greatly diminished/absent, taking into account university paperwork, having to pack and move and very very likely not having an internet connection for a nondescript period of time.
All's well and life's churning back to normal. Not able to get IG yet so just consider Mack retired but may see me lurking more around IRC a bit more. Feel free to ping me with plot things you need advice for if you see me, I'll be playing EFU Plot Consultant until I can get back and rolling.
I've decided to retire Knute, at least for the time being. I have other things I'd rather pursue. Have fun!
Been a busy week so sorry i havent been on as much! Ill be on, just a bit later than usual from now on
D_I always joked he could count the seasons by RwG rage quits. I guess fall has begun. Magister yelled at me using his liam neeson voice threatening to find me and use his skills one me. Back in action!

D_I always joked he could count the seasons by RwG rage quits. I guess fall has begun. Magister yelled at me using his liam neeson voice threatening to find me and use his skills one me. Back in action!
Hi hi hi!
Taking a short break from the game to write the obit for Jarik and figure out what I want to play next. Still on IRC, just won't be playing for a few days!
After spending all day moving my laptop finally decided to not work any more. I'll probably be hard pressed to play until I get a new one.
Lucked out, just needed a few taps in the right place to get it started. Horrible sign, but it's something for now.
Back
I've gotten sick again, so I'll likely be absent for a few days more.
Going out of town for a bit.
I'm going out of town for a week, see ya next Tuesday.
I'm still M.I.A, school/work have been occupying my entire life at the moment so I hope to return once I am used to this busy schedule, or it changes. Sorry for any Sojourner fellows wondering where I have been.
Headed to woodbadge (scout leadership training) till saturday night...So I'll be back sunday.
I'm gonna be taking a break due to inability to stick with any sort of concept, gonna try and get some inspiration.
Just a heads up and an apology for my limited availability recently, will be completely off the radar until this monday and then i'm back on track.
m'back.
Totally MIA at the moment, because I'm taking three 5 credit classes and that was a major mistake on my part.
I'll be back when I either figure out how to better manage my time or the semester ends.
So as many of you know I'm getting married and the first thing I'm doing is settling my new living arrangements. That means that for the time being, I won't be paying for any sort of internet connection, and I don't like you guys enough to find my way to a free wifi area.
What this means is you shan't be seeing me for a little while.
All right, I'm back.
Can't stay away from EfU for too long.
Not having any fun with my PC. I'll still be on IRC, but not playing.
Work demands me for a week and a half or so. Back soon! Try not to burn the place down in the meantime. ;)

*twitches, attempts to hide kerosene and matches behind back, tries and fails to look innocent*
frustrations, less play time so will be limited more than before
Really, really busy with work for the next two weeks or so. I'll be around in IRC, and can likely hope IG with some notice ahead of time. Otherwise, playing time will be spotty.
Turns out visiting the forum was too much for me- Gonna try to find some time to play EfU.
Still without a proper connection. If I tried to play now I'd just lag horribly and disconnect every now and then. I WANT TO COME BACK. I AM LOSING SO MUCH GOOD STUFF.
Out for a week, as of today. See you guys in a week I guess!
life kicked me in the balls but i managed to reign it in, im back to playing folks ^_^ im working and going through schooling both so i wont be tremendously active outside of the weekends, but during the week i should be around about 6pm-10pm during -8 pacific times most days, sometimes earlier, sometimes later. Weekends the time could be anytime, but i will be on a lot during them
Busy with work, so my play times are going to get cut up for a little while.
Aaaaand I'm back.
Away for the weekend but can hop IG if someone needs something.
Update: Returned
My playtime will be more erratic than usual for about a week or so. Housesitting for my uncle again, have my PC but I'll also be dogsitting and taking care of a cat, gerbils, and all other sorts of nonsense. And getting regularly shitfaced, probably. I'll try to leave IRC on.
EDIT: I'm back home again. Hooray.
I've been killing orcs in slow motion and playing in an online Street Fighter tournament lately, but Torrick will be back around shortly. I have almost killed all the orcs.
Playing times back to normal.
Moving
Am in the process of doing a long distance move. Will be out for a few days. While trying to get to my new destination and then having to wait for my cable to be hooked up.
Some RL things have made playing EFU iffy at the moment. Once I figure things out, I'll likely be back.
I'm taking a little break for a few days.
pike off Abala, get back here. You're bound to us now ;)
(see you soon!)
well, im back too, i think, im hungry for efu and shield potions.
Quote from: SN;409341well, im back too, i think, im hungry for efu and shield potions.
Good. The starless nights are sad without Starless Night.
Won't be back in-game until Sunday.
Here and there forum-wise.
EFU has been occupying too much of my headspace recently so I think it's time for a few days break. I'll still be able to log in if I'm absolutely needed for something and I'll be around on the forums and in IRC as well.
Also wont be back until sunday, if anyone really cares...
Quote from: Starmonger;409455Also wont be back until sunday, if anyone really cares...
I care!
Have fun and EFU will be waiting for you with more PvP hijinks.
Bah! All my plans have come to ruin. It seems like RL obligations are going to force me into a 4 month hiatus. I might have time off around christmas though. So we'll see. See you guys on the other end of the tunnel. No burning the place down. Looking at you, The Old Hack.:p
I am some-what back!
Unfortunately, due to a combination of classes starting back up and family issues, I am finding myself with less time and a good deal more stress in my day. As a result I haven't really had the motivation to put my heart into efu on the time that I do have. For the foreseeable future my playtime will be a little erratic, but I will try to log in when I can.
Taking a day or two to recharge the batteries. Be back soon!
Might be gone for a few days, not totally sure yet.
Gone for some week as I'm in the middle of moving. And going to have lots less time online afterwards due to a new job. Much sad now that there's necromancers to oppose in the shield :(
Vacation time, out till sunday.
Work overflow. Haven't been around much lately. I'll be back next week!
I'll be taking a break, I think. For some reason I have this odd feeling of being unwelcome, probably paranoia. Hopefully it'll pass.
You're not unwelcome. Log back in and discuss.
To whom it might interest, my laptop's screen has died at last. Until I dig out my vga's cable to connect the laptop to my standard display I'll be out for a while.
And TOH! You're far from unwelcome. I love you and I need you in EFU. I hope when I'm back you are as well.
I am returned, for as long as my Frankensteinish resurrected PC chooses to exist.
I am finally back online again.
Ascetic frustrations and brutal deaths ahoy.
Time for me to take it easy on EFU for a while. Game's feeling like a MMO grind.
:(
Hey guys. I got an unexpected job offer, and that might effect my playing time. Also as many of you know, I'm getting my own place so it might be a minute before I get internet access. Not a big deal but just thought you should know.
Congrats on the job!
Bleh. Thanks for the congrats. I'm signing in -again- to say I've had sort of a bombshell recently in RL, and it seems like my kid brother is going through some really bad issues. I'm going to be trying to help my family out with it and while I could probably get away with signing in and playing every now and again, I just don't really feel it right now for whatever reason. :S
This could probably change on a whim, but IDK. Sorry to anyone I had stuff going with.
Hope things improve Petey.
I'll be traveling to visit family starting tomorrow, Oct 25th. I'll be returning home on November 2nd (9 day duration). My play times will probably be sparse to non-existent in-between those dates.
I'll be happy if at least 50% of the current PCs are still living/active when I get back.
-Whiterabbit/Gracken/Goate
I have had a rather fantastic development in my personal life. A member of my family down in Florida has offered to take on one of the people that is staying with me. While the next week or so is apt to be very busy with packing them for the move, but past then I should have significantly more time in my day.
In hindsight this makes my retirement thread seem very melodramatic, but I wasn't expecting a solution so quickly. Truly a huge weight off of my shoulders.
Welcome back Samo.
Real busy with work this week. And no chance I can play this weekend (Halloween fun). See you all next week hopefully!
Feeling burned out. Wont be back for awhile. Seee ya
buy me some boiled nuts first!?!?!?
I'm going to be absent a while longer to recover from burnout and to deal with some RL issues. Will be back eventually, I hope.
Several things IRL have come together at a fairly poor time for me, so my playtimes will be severely reduced for at least the next week or so, though unlikely to be entirely offline for the time being.
With what the Americans call 'Halloween' coming and us, Polish scum, celebrating it differently, I won't be online much over the weekend.
Well, Girl I've been with for 5 years randomly and without reason broke it off and feeling like shit to such a titanic level that I'm not sure if I can play efu to be honest.
I'll be around IRC and who knows- maybe I'll be back sooner then I think. Sorry to anyone depending on me being online- just not really up to playing a character right now.
Feeling a little burned out with in game stuff and some things in the real world. I'll be around, but not a whole lot until I get my creative juices flowing again. Shouldn't be long.
Just a heads up but with RL and School winding down my playtime should be stabilizing once more around NOvember 10th-15th.

HE RETURNS...
Gonna dip out. I'll return soon
Popping out until sunday, seeya!
Playing: Amirinth Fallenstar (amme) and Ruby wayne ( alt )
My computer is acting really grumpy. If I disappear for a few days, it's probably because it decides to poop the bed.
I'll be very busy and essentially inactive over the next 5-7 days while I finish moving and getting situated at the new place.
Gonna go play WoW, laters guys sorry if anyone was heavily invested in Azad, not going to be playing him much.
I'll be back come Friday. Too busy to play this week.
Combination of factors, won't be playing EFU much for a while. Might be around briefly here and there or idling in IRC but not much else.
Waesyarus will be back in action tomorrow night.
Hey I'll be gone for a bit longer. No internet at the new apartment yet.
Out of town until Wednesday.
Won't be around much until the next weekend
Poking my head up to say that I still exist, and will be back. A personal project I've been working on during my hiatus morphed into something monstrously complex and time-consuming, but it has to be completed by the end of the year. I'll likely be back in late December or January once it's no longer devouring my free time and taking up all my creative RAM.
I have guests staying at my place through Thanksgiving and I'm not sure how much time I'll be able to devote to EFU. Sorry if this interfere's with people's plots.
Hi everybody.
Just wanted to offer my apologies for not being around recently. I was in a car accident a bit ago, and while I was not seriously injured, it came at a time when I already had a lot of real life adjustments going on. The final result is that I haven't been able to log in in quite a time. I haven't forgotten everyone though, and I'll try to be on when I can, hopefully later tonight I'm thinking.
Til then, I guess I hope everyone is having a grand ole time, and I'll see you all around. Cheers!
Currently playing: Mereppi Evinether, humble servant of the Masked Leaf and Orbryn Ironstar, Bloodmaiden of the Lady of the Fray
Will be mostly out of game the next few days as GTAV just came out on PS4
I had to buy a new PC so I will be out of commission for a bit.

This has extended as I'm dog/house sitting for my sister over the weekend.
Going on a hiatus.
Play time is a bit restricted until after Thanksgiving. I won't be gone but I won't be around nearly as much.
As some may have noticed I haven't been around much this week - not feeling terribly inspired lately and may come back sooner or later with a fresh concept. Peace!
I'll keep the Serena Tower holding cell warm for you in the meantime.
Thanks babe.
taking a short break.
Taking a break. Extremely poor/lame PvP has put a sour taste in my mouth.
I'll be in and out the next few days. Maybe more out for the moment. Starting a new job and have to fly out to California for a week or two.
TPO Killian
Due to finals and a rather crushing RL issue, not really playing any video games for a bit. I'll probably be back around Christmas! Hopefully will resume play of Searos, as well. Not dropping him unless too much time lapses, just not up to playing for a bit.
Amidst a comedy of bloody errors both my car and my graphics card have blown. Gonna be out of commission for a while.
Hound
Hey I'm not necessarily unable to play, but things at work will be severely limiting my play time for the next couple weeks because of 12 hour shifts.
As some might have noticed, I've been kind'a AWOL for a while! Some RL stuff of rather significant importance popped up, and it's taking a while to get used to/deal with.
I can't say for sure when I'll be able to focus on EfU again, but, with luck, it shouldn't be -too- long.
Sorry!
Break time!
Bullshit comes in threes as they say.
Car broke, then my PC, and now I've got chickenpox. Apparently it can have serious complications when caught as an adult, so this is a heads-up. Pretty scared but I imagine I'll probably be fine.
Some real life affairs have been draining my time as of late, and as such my availability is drastically reduced. Toss me a PM if I am needed for something specific and I can make time, however.

I've seen your xp graph. I don't understand when you had time to catch chickenpox. Or break your car. Or sleep.
EFU is good medicine.

And lifeless.
How can you kill that which has no life?
Those chicken pox virus has no chance.
Also, i'll be scarce through out the holidays. See u all soon, hopefully
Hope you feel better soon, Hound!
I should be back playing tomorrow, or sunday at the latest.
Fractured the c2 vertebrae in my neck during a car accident. I am very lucky, No paralysis or nerve damage. Be back later.
Hi there! I am back in action
I'm back, nerds. Taste it.
Got some RL problems.. I'll be off for few weeks.
Finals week is coming up, and I'm horribly sick, so that's why I've been gone this last week. -.-
Should be back the weekend after next.
Computer was making funny sounds, gonna take a few days to see what's up.
Char: Kale Nemetsk
Edit: Never mind, it was nothing.
I'm back.
Back in integrated graphical action. Chickenpox is slowly clearing up and my car is fixed.
Got a free MOT too. Silver linings I guess.
Some of you might have noticed my prolonged absence. I know, the server ain't the same without all that #hagswag and lack of encumbrance due to excess of #plans.
I do not know when I will be back, RL has been a bitch and all that yipping has been keeping me real busy and tired, not leaving any energy for our creative shenanigans.
I promise to be back as soon as possible. Maybe January.
Heading to Fiji for a week for vacation.
Be back next monday.
Kinda overwhelmed with work stuff so not much of gaming time this week.
Gone til weekend tonight onward. Fully expect all you new PCs to be level 9 by the time I return..
Kinda takin it easy till fri, not going to be on tommorow night and prob not thurs, but I'll check the forums if decisions need be made and come on if really need ariana.

Aforementioned christmas time has arrived, and has seen fit to grace me with some leave! I will be in and out of game as real life lets me for a week or two.

Two/Three weeks off here, dont break the server too much when im gone or i will literally box you.
Concept funk + Holidays = Break time
Going to be off or a while, been having trouble enjoying characters for some time, Dont know when I'll be back.
Busy with work and the holidays and everything that goes with it. Won't likely be back around until after the new year.
Been really busy this week. I'll try and be more active asap! Likely this friday i'll be back in full
Travelling for Christmas. My EFU playtimes will be disrupted and reduced until December 28th.
I'll probably be gone for most of tomorrow. Have to sit in on a senate hearing.
ill be out tomorrow from like 10:00 am to like, 7 pm, driving down to my aunts and uncles.
I won't be gone after all. Senate went ahead and voted early. Looks like it won't be long until my island is declaring bankruptcy and begging the federal government to clean up their mess.
Quote from: xXCrystal_Rose;419078I'll probably be gone for most of tomorrow. Have to sit in on a senate hearing.
Best leaving post -reason..ever!
Yep, out until either next weekend, or sometime around Christmas... Since my sister practically pushed us out the house, we forgot a lot of stuff, such as the laptop charger cord. Hopefully I'll be able to get on, no guarentees.
Break time!
Will be back in a week or two, unless needed IG for something urgent.
Won't be on IRC as well
Rock on EFU!
Im back early folks! Luck was on my side, great things happened, and ive a load of new time to play now! :)
Going to have eratic playing times, as I'm fixering up the new appartment and enjoying holiday times ^^
It's party time! I'm not available for a while~
Malzog the Vile, Hunter of the Prey races- will be making merry and handing out gifts for the next 24-48. For those who would notice said absence, he will be *scouting* save for late night foray's when the family has dozed off.
Duke Laverne's taking a break to visit friends & family. Best wishes all and I will see you again after the weekend.
Going mostly "inactive" for the time being as I don't think this setting is really fit for me. On IRC as usual however if you have something antagonistic / outside of upper with momentum that needs some help
Well it has been awhile, August 2014, since I locked myself up in the loony bin. Suffice to say, I'm back. Feel free to send me PM messages and/or recruit, hassle, huggle, snuggle, and get freaky deaky with me.
Missed you guys and gals (There still are women here, right? LOL :D)
Welcome back Unholywon! Glad to see you've made it through the troubles. Missed you.

Hagkir Kingarhd's handler here. Got some issues with the pc NWN is on. May not be around for a week or about, so don't burn down the Watchhouse.
Hey all. Holidays and stuff. I'll see you in 2015!
Orite, I forgot to say I was gone. Welp, now I ain't no more!
Naturally I've been away over the Christmas period, and will likely be gone until midway through January :) See you all in 2015.
Oh yeah I've been meaning to do a leaving post but I forgot. Going on a bit of a hiatus. The fact of the matter is that married life is a little time consuming and the games I do play I need to be able to get off of in a moments notice should my attention be needed elsewhere. That is why I have invested in an Xbox 1. It has a nice feature called pausing. :P
In other news if any of you have got an xbox one and assassin's creed unity or farcy 4 or dragon age inquisition, I would love to play with you for 30 minutes or so.
Cheers.
Pausing is for bitches.
Will miss you, Petey :( Every time I see a bright star in the sky, I'll start singing "Somewhere Out There" in the general direction of Tex-ass.
RIP petey I'll miss you.
Hit a major snag, can't afford to do anything about it for a while, thus won't be able to play or be around. I also don't seem to be able to get into my older accounts from this PC, so I had to make a new one. Anyway, I'll miss you nerds and be back whenever possible.
Sorry for people invested in Irene. I should be back by Saturday, but I'm uncertain.
- Moonlighter / Faux News
No no no no no no no no no no! :(
Hope everything is alright, Moon, and you'll come back to us soon
Just a heads up, folks, I'm going to be making a big cross-country move with a new job and home and all that good stuff.
That means I'll be a lot quieter during the month of January while I get everything sorted out!
Sorry if that causes anyone any inconvenience. I'll still be around to help out, but response time will be greatly increased.
Taking a break, need to find some inspiration. Rock on EFU, see you next year!
Taking a break again. Too much EFU lately has burned me out a bit. Go forth and be awesome folks.
Back, and gone again for a bit until my grades rise. I'll be back eventually!

Rock on EFU!
So...unlike the previous post, which I came back after four days, I'll be taking a break for a few weeks.
A bit burned out + Busy RL and Finals approaching + some quirky stuff I've witnessed IG for a while now, I really think it's a good time for a break.
Won't be on IRC (not #efu at least) and rarely on the forums, but feel free to send a PM and I'll try to respond.
Edit: As for Jasmine, just treat her as ill in bed from the Red Dust.
Love and kisses EfU
I'm off for some time, see you later.
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YEG9DgRHhA)
I am going to be on considerably less to the point of taking a small leave. I will try to get IG but a bit busy this month.
Exams are approaching and I'm slightly behind, so my online presence will be somewhat reduced in the next week.
Moving tomorrow, so I'm gone for 1-3 days depending on how fast we get to unpack.
Back to my usual schedule soon, been chillin and watchin AGDQ and dealing with non-EFU related graphics stuff.
Apparently I lied, and I'm unable to play EFU while either zonked out by pre-exam work or terrified by pre-exam tension. I'll see you in a couple of days, when I won't risk stripping my character naked and running through the Scamander screaming something nonsensical (then again, that goes straight to concept list).
After fighting for 8 hours today to get my computer past the recognizing operating system part of the boot sequence I've decided this virus is just making things worse and worse. Used to be tolerable, not so much anymore, so I'll be gone for a few days while salvaging what word documents I can before the big nuke and fresh reinstall. Just hope I can pirate a copy of nwn still!
Send me a PM if you sent Aurelia any letters else I might be liable to miss them when I am back in action!
Adjutant Paul Weston is back in action, much to the dismay of everyone. I'll probably be IG more sparingly at first, couple nights a week, but I'll be forum active if you need to reach the gay cowboy.
Quote from: xXCrystal_Rose;422149Just hope I can pirate a copy of nwn still!
What?
hoping to get back in game soon! just been really busy irl, my culinary studies have kept me very occupied, as well as college contests (Each college in my state gathers their culinary students and theres a big gathering where judges determine which college wins! It's a big honor to win! Plus recommendations, and prestige which is important for the big culinary jobs~) And I'm really hoping to bring home the gold this year ^_^
Sadly I need to take an extended break from EFU due to minor health problems. I might still pop on and off, but likely much less than before :(
Pretty much back now without having to take as extreme of measures as expected. Hooray ^^ Hope it stays that way.
Hey guys. I'm afraid I have to finish with EFU for the foreseeable future.
I had a really great time here all in all and thank all of you for the good experiences. Rock on
Going to be gone for a while! Keep EFU rocking for when I get back.
Good news for me, maybe not you all. [hehe]. I should be back within the next two weeks, circumstances willing, I /may/ be able to hop on for short time periods in the interim, if needed!
With glorious winter break behind me work and school kicking back up tomorrow, my playtimes are vastly reduced to the dreaded US evenings hours.
A week or two off while I get my schedule stable then back into the concept dungeon.
Flying away to Paris! I shall return on late Sunday Evening (GMT).
We we. Have fun in Pari.
Unfortunately, with my work schedule and various other responsibilities I simply do not have time to do anything related to EfU aside from occasionally browsing the forums. It's very unlikely that this is going to change in the near-future so I'm just going to go ahead and step away from EfU (not as if I've been around for the past 2 months much anyhow). Keep up the awesome, EfU.

I told a few of you that I'll might pop IG but I just don't have the time yet, sorry.
Hopefully I'll be back in two weeks.
Going to be mostly out of game for the next few days at least. Having some discomfort/pain that is making playing for more than a little while rather unpleasant. Might have to to the doc if it doesn't clear up.
Might be around for short little spurts but that's it.
Hi there! It is school time again. Working two jobs and going to class as well as working on some side projects so I can get a job after I graduate.
I will be around but expect it to be in less fervor!
I'll be off for today and the weekend, but I'll try to answer forum messages etc. addressed to Duke! Rock hard.
I am off for the weekend, I"ll be back on monday. The name of the PC is Carie Welten, plots put on hold for a couple of days.
In case it wasn't obvious by my activity, I'm pretty much healed up and back to being active playing.
I'll be away tuesday, maybe also wednesday, due to family.
Most will have noticed my lack of presence lately, getting in the groove of school and other stuff going on..
I'll keep my eye open on the forums, but it may be awhile before I have any regular time to play. That and I'm slightly starting to get burned out and trying to combat it before I seriously burnout :)
I should be back around over the coming week :)

I will be out of game until about the 16th. Have fun! :)
Back in action. While still have some finals and won't be on for long periods, it's way more calmer now. See you all IG!
Gone most of the coming Weekend thru the 11th,.. guessing gonna miss some plot twists :( back in on the 12th.
Hi there. My workload has increased a great amount and I can't keep up the same amount of time I could to play EFU.
I will be around but hardly as much as before. Cheers everyone!

Busy days! So I had to ask Ladocicea to postpone the event a while. I'll be back after the weekend
(I didn't really ask him that, he volunteered.)
Taking a break to calm my raaaage.
Mineself has returned.
Taking it easy on EFU for a little bit, I'll be around, just less.
I was going to be back about now, and I told quite a few people that. However there's been a death the family and the business, so its hit hard on two fronts. Thus I will not be back when I said I would be. I apologize for anyone that's been waiting for me.
It is hard when someone close passes away, take as much time as you need and don't feel pressured to come back until everything is settled. Stay strong great celestial tiger.
Will be back on Monday/Tuesday IG. But will keep posting dumb stuff in the Pink Patriot
I'll be out for most of the weekend though I might find some time to play. A friend of mine passed away unexpectedly, and I'll be travelling for the funeral.
Well, certain opportunities presented themselves and as a result I didn't leave on my roadtrip. So, guess I'll be around until sometime tomorrow.
Greetings, friends.
My playtime will be splotchy this week, as I have family in town and we'll be spending time at the beach.
I'll be in and out, catch up on forums, IRC but not as frequent IG.
gonna take a bit of a break, not feeling like logging in lately.
if you absolutely need me for some reason i'll be on irc. Otherwise i'll likely be off for a few days.
Kinda need a break myself. Don't know when I'll be back.
Even though I've kind of just started playing again, I'm probably going to step away for a bit as well. Apologies to Dawnrise folks and others who've been planning stuff with Torrick.
Same. *points up to Rookie and Spooky*
Same, for a bit.
I might take a few days too. I'll be on IRC if anyone needs Hilinar.
I can't log back on until monday, due to a busy schedule irl. I'll try to keep in touch with people over the forums.
I will be gone most of the weekend, because brief vacation!
Break me off a piece of that kit-kat-bar.
After fumbling around through my last few concepts just not feeling things at the moment. Gonna recharge the batteries and see what comes about.
I'll be gone for a few days, testing my mettle against the frozen tundra. Assuming the wolves dont get me, or worse, a Canadian, I should be back by the end of the week.
So the 23rdish-27ish
Guys. Tired of the grind. It's been fun, but EFU's just not there for me anymore. Hope you all have fun.
Work is getting busy, will be around alot less next two weeks, PM me on Forums if you need Falgrim for something, I can be on Nights, PST only currently..
hello, i has returned.
Hello, decided I missed you guys and thought I would poke my head back into the world. Looking forward to seeing everyone around.
I'm still alive. Will be back on the weekend with lots of catching up to do.
Need a break to cross the country for a long weekend. Back sunday late, or monday!
The contest is still a GO for those of you that are into hoarding the baublium.
My next few days are likely to be busy, so don't expect me around much!
I decided to stay an extra day up north, so, a harrowing return (-9 isnt the best temp for a 15 yr old sedan) but i'm back!
Lurking in the Dark, contemplating a return to that which is EFU. :)

//been a bit busy but im back folks!
About some this evening (Sunday PST), then gone for a week do to work! Will have forum access, but very scarce to non existent ingame til Next Saturday..
I'm taking a break for the next few days to get my bearings straight.
I'll be reachable on IRC if needed.
Can't really think of anything I want to play, so I'll take a break for a week or two.
Have fun
Hey all, may have noticed my IG time has been down lately. I'm moving and have been generally busy dealing with that. Trying to get in a couple nights a week. I should be able to get in game more often starting in April. Still quite active on the forums if you need Paul for anything.
Work complete, I have returned.
New job so I'm sporadic until things stabilize. Won't be around as much.
Apologies to those involved.
Hail lads!
So I suppose a few of you have likely noticed I'm not around - well - I'm MOVING!
Nyahaha, I'll be back when things settle down, say, about two weeks.
Sorry shroom buddies and shroom lovers!
Busy with school! I'll be back soon!
Really busy with work for the next week or so. I'll be around sporadically.
Work cranking up again. Scarce after Sunday, for the week. If you need Falgrim, shoot me a PM ,and I can try and sort it out nights PST, if needed.
I've was busy late last week and was out of town this weekend, but should be around more this week. Looks like I missed some cool stuff. See ppl Monday!
I am leaving for a few days of vacation and relaxation!
Just a reminder that I am busy moving, haven't been able to get IG. Unfortunately, this means I am going to miss Lado's event Sunday as I will be carrying boxes instead (fun). Starting Wednesday I should be back to a normal life schedule. Good luck all!
I'll be gone till monday/tuesday, visiting family in atlanta.
I'll also be gone until Monday, unless something goes horribly wrong. I'll still be on IRC if you really need to get a message to me.
Edit: Plans change, apparently.
Hey. I decided to take a break from EfU for the near future.
I'm not sure I ever wrote it so now's a good time as any: Thank you EfU, the players and the DMs for really great times for the last two years (*almost two years). You are wonderful people and I'm glad I got to take part in this community.
See you all in a few months!

Devoting extra time to school and work. Expect me around but far less!

Right, so, give me a bit more time, lads, unforseen stuff and stuff. Sorry!
My stupidity score is too high to ever redeem my honor.
I quit EFU.
Also, unrelated, I and Fauxnews would like to announce our engagements! Invitations to follow via PMs.
Quote from: GoldLover;430352Also, unrelated, I and Fauxnews would like to announce our engagements! Invitations to follow via PMs.
I object to this wedding. Faux News is clearly suffering from Italian amnesia, forgetting her past life and those who were part of it. But I shall not let you exploit this!
True love, not your base desires, shall conquer. I ride now toward the wedding chapel on donkey-back. Faux News will be summarily returned to her wife.
You will take a lance to the face should you try to stop me.
Going to be away for a few days as Im on Holiday with the Family.
Should be back monday or Tuesday :)

I should be back in action soon. :)
Hey all, living out of boxes, but somewhat settled in now. So yeah, I'm back! (efu groans)
I'm going to be back for a week since its spring break, hopefully after i graduate in june ill be on more
I'll be out starting tomorrow (Saturday the fourth of April) and will be coming back on April 13th (two Mondays in the future). Sorry to my new allies - I've been pretty lame lately, as my PCET will tell you.

Player of Hlahlisessil-zah
Out for the week, hopefully back in action by the eleventh!
Work. Ingame much less over next week, PM if you need Falgrim, can make it in Nights PST for specific stuff.
Out for a couple of days- a week while moving and starting a new job.
I have been out for a bit, coming back tonight though!
I'm moving house and likely won't have dedicated internet until the end of the month; I might be able to get IG, but not too sure until I know if I get 4G or not!
Oh. I'm actually Back! Still busy with things in my life, but I've got more dedicated time to devote to efu.
Back to playing in the next few days/week or so (depending on app). Look forward to seeing you all IG again.
If anyone needs Martin IG, I'm out this weekend until Sunday night.
An auspicious return...
Still getting set up from a recent move. Should be IG in a few days.
I am moving to another city tomorrow, so I will be mostly absent until I get everything settled. But I hope to pop in in the middle of the week for more #plans. :twisted:
Maybe even before, who knows.
Gonna take a break for a couple days after a whole lotta long EFU sessions to recharge my batteries. I'll be around if needed and I'll be on the forums, but I'll be back at it forreals shortly.
Probably going to be gone for a week, or very limited in time (most likely 6:00-9:00pm ish EST weekdays) Hopefully i'll be back during the weekend.
Not going to be on very much until the 25th or so.
Moving, second child due soon, and busy with work. Hopefully this break does not last a year like the last. :)
RIP VanillaPudding, defeated by father-life.
I have a busy week preparing for a trip this coming weekend. With work and several other commitments expect to see Madoc IG less than I have been the past few weeks. I won't be around at all next weekend (4/17-4/19). My schedule should be more normal in one week from today.
I'm back from vacation.
On vacation for a week, back next week.
Well vacation is over so I'll be on my regular schedule :< of being on and off
I'll be back either sunday late or, more likely, monday. Sorry to those I am currently engaged with.
I am moving, so I will be without computer/internet for a while. You may still reach me on the forums (Amirah)
Taking some time for a break :). I am having a creative block and I need to put my attention elsewhere to gain some inspiration.
Chao!
Having a bad creative block so I am going to take a week or two break to enrich the other parts of my life. I shall return soon with a concept I enjoy in tow.
Chao!
Out of the loop for a couple of days. I'm back on the forums on monday, not 100% sure about being IG, but regular service will resume monday after next.
Back from illness. Hopefully it abates as long as it did recently. Wolfspider is back to harass trespassers.
As some of you already learned when I asked for travel/air line regulation advice from the helpful people in #efu, I'm doing some international travel this week. I don't actually leave until midweek but I've got packing, preparations, etc. to do so my availability be drastically limited. I should back mid-next week.
Confirmed unable to be IG until next monday, unfortunately. Still available through the forums.
I'm done with EFU for a while. Too much effort to extract any fun from it lately.
Still making my way back to a steady gaming schedule. I can log in sporadically, but still may be a few days before I'm fully settled from this move.
I may be back to playing again. We'll see how things go.
Right. Life's leaving me exhausted lately. Will be back once I get things set straight.
Playtimes sparse over the weekend.
I have a strong possibility of not returning until the end of May :) sorry folks
Ouch! Same here due to university.
Stay in drugs. Don't do school.
Argh, Latin Finals part:1 friday, and i've a take home test to complete by tomorrow. so i may be off until saturday, though its possible that my achedule might not be upset at all.
Probably gone for a bit. Need to rejuvenate; don't really have the heart or mind for EFU right now.
aww, seeya iftz, hope you come back when you are ready.
Hi there! This is the end of my first night at a legislation convention working with my university and I will be gone until Sunday night. It is exciting to watch the legislation I have worked on make it to the seat floor for student senate review. Stay tuned on IRC for the late-night report of cut-throat college politics.
I'm out until Sunday night.
Well, getting married IRL in just over a month so I'll be pretty scarce IG. Later for now EFU! :)
Quote from: Heavyfog;433706Well, getting married IRL in just over a month so I'll be pretty scarce IG. Later for now EFU! :)
:) congrats, hope the wedding goes well and fun :D come back soon
Hey guys! I'll be back this sunday afternoon or monday, (est) My mothers close family and friends are in town for her Graduation saturday, so i'll be busy. Keep on keeping on!
Edit: Hey, just a note, This will likely continue until this coming friday. With two school projects, and an admitably easy EOC ( It's all multiple choice, i'm not stressing here, it just takes time and I'll be drained afterwords), It's going to be a long week. Oh, add in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt into the mix, and you might see me next weekend. Maybe. [coughs] Thankfully, schools ending soon, but even then, my time will be limited to sporadic bursts of several day's almost entirely on, then weeks off for camps or otherwise, so yeah! See ya soon. -Shadow
Hey everyone - I'm gonna be out a bit while I finish out the semester (and play the new Destiny expansion...) Should be back with a new character in June!
I'll be gone for the foreseeable future, I dont expect to return but I guess we'll see what happens.
Was fun all.
Hello.
Out for two days.
Edit: Maybe some playing time.
Going to be scarce for the next two-three weeks. Moving.
One more week and I'll be back in action.
I'm not around anymore. You probably already knew, noticed, or didn't because you never saw me around to begin with. ^_^ But I figured I'd let everyone know that I'm moving on for the most part, and might come back to visit now and then, but that's it. You can still contact me via forum pm, or you can friend/message me on battlenet with the ID Ebok#1137. Im pretty sure you can leave a message with those friend requests, if so, let me know who you are if the name is different. <3
Rock on Efu.
Might be a bit sparse in-game, will be busy Witching. I'll watch the forums if anyone needs to get a hold of me!

With my new baby I just don't have the time for the grind that efu takes to be successful. Maybe if I get the time I'll return in the future.

Taking a bit of time off efu for a bit. I should only be gone for a few days.
Taking a break off efu for a bit, have a bunch of work to do. I should only be gone for a few days.
Putrid Plum has spawned a tangerine. Congrats bud
With RL slowing down I'll be around more!
Last week of an internship, and I think the people in charge finally realized this and are squeezing every little bit of work out that they can. I'll be sparse for a few days!
Hagkir Kingarhd's handler here; going to be a little spotty (but not 100% absent) for the next 7 days while sorting out dwarf stuff with the kinnies.
Alright so I think I'm actually back now to get on and do some rp, now that real life is not so chaotic. So, hello again!
Away for my birthday shenanigans.
Smell you nerds later.
MONKTASTIC VOYAGE
I've just moved and have hence been a bit sparse, and will continue to be so for some time. Also had some trouble with internet connection at new place, not sure if I got enough reception to play at all.
Pringles cantenna actually works, though. Much better with than without.
Well I just graduated and I'm headed to cally, so expect to see me more ^^ and hopefully I can be on more often after I get back from cally
Had a few things I had to take care of RL before I could get IG. Summer activity here I come!
hello everyone, i think i might be coming back to play after....what has it been, at least a year i am positive. I have a new job so my playtimes might be difficult to get a good start on if i can get the bugs in my latest concept worked out. I have heard that many of the things that made me quit before are no longer around so i was more inclined to come back but i couldnt get a good concept going and was looking for a job, but now that i am working i can come and play again if i can get my concept off the ground.
News: Cantenna is good, but might not be good enough to play. Will try to figure something out to be able to play.
Lots of stuff going on ATM, can't commit to a super serious character that needs lots of time/energy, I will be on but because I can't plan as of when I will be and for how long, thought I'd let you all know.
All good stuff mind! Nothing bad has happened :)
I'll most likely be on very little, if any, the coming month or month and a half. My job has been keeping me very busy with lots of new duties, and I'm looking at moving.
I'll still be in IRC and the forums, and can hop on for emergencies! But I'll need to focus my efforts toward my life for the moment.
Gamebox having a USB problem and not turning on. Could be fixed anything from a day to two weeks.
Hope to be IG soon goodfellows!
I'm on vacation for about a week, but will be picking up things I've started once I get back.
Just don't have the time or interest right now. Maybe I'll come back on a new character or something later. Peace, dudes, it's been a mixed bag but I've mostly enjoyed myself.
As some noticed, I have and will continue to be around sparsely for a while due to an overly hectic life atm.
I'm off for another 9 week hiatus. Work has it's demands, and I can't say no. See you all on the other side. Try not to burn the place down.
Just a heads up I will be off the grid from the end of the month to the middle of august.
i'll try and be on as much as I can until then.
Heads up guys, from early sunday tomorrow to early saturday NEXT week, I'm going to be out and gone at a BSA camp. I might be able to hop on to the interewebs for forums stuff, but that's about it for Dorissa for the next week. Conveinent, stuck in the shield and all ^_^. Speaking of which, that's her reasoning for not being out and about, she's just waiting out the Elections. GO REDS! (Don't lose this, I beg you)
Between the release of the FF14 expansion and the onset of a charity event I participate in every year, my playtime is going to be restricted for a while. I'll probably only be playing later in the evenings, but I will try to log in an keep a presence IG.
Out for the weekend.
Just returned from 10 days at the Waterloo bicentennial, and have effectively completed all my coursework for the year.
Summer's on and I intend to return to EFU starting tomorrow.
Today was a fun day. A tree fell through my broadband and into my car. Fortunately the car is being taken care of, but I might be without Internet for a few days.
EDIT: A major cable company did something quickly! Whoa! Internet's back.
Hagkir Kingarhd's handler here; I've been having a few health issues (carpal tunnel syndrome finally catching up to me, among them) that have been cutting down my time playing video games in general. Not an absolute absence, but just less days/hours playing for now.
Burnt out slightly due to a toxic attitude in IRC.
Taking a short break of about a week or so
Pierre Du'Pontes player
Charlie Briggs is back in action.
i'm back, sorta, for this week. Going to be keeping busy, but none the less, i'm here.
Going to be offline for a few days. Recent storms seem to have buggered my internet and my isp won't be out to take a look till Thursday.
Away until the middle of August. See y'all then.
Out until i get a new cpu cooler ;{
I'M BACK BABY
I'm out of action this week, i'll be back saturday (at scout camp)...
No IG time with yorrick, family is over.
While I was already pretty busy before, I just got laid off from work, so I may be even more infrequent depending, or on more perhaps.
Petey can't get this part of new forum to work so doing my civic duty!
Quote: I'm going on a hiatus cause I got promoted at work
Whoa, Petey's back? Sup Petey. Congrats on the promotion.
A few projects are taking their toll and I will not be as active as I was before.
I didn't make a post to say I was leaving for a bit. I told a player or two I was moving back to the states and it's been about a month. I finally got some internet working and i've been online at least once for a short period. I should be back up and running here in another week or two. (hopefully)
Going on a holiday for 2 weeks. I'll still be around the forums but not IG. See you folks later!
Sorry to those of you whom I gave the impression I would be more present this summer.
As it stands I'm unlikely to make any appearances for the next few weeks.
I am returning to semi-activity. I will be working mostly behind the scenes in the toolset and helping push forward our meta-plot but will continue to have fairly limited presence and activity in game.
Folks i am really sorry, but i will not be able till next Wednesday or more, i will be at my parents to help them.
I am not happy about it, just when i did our first CvC here with so big impact on another characters and than dissapear for the week, i am really sorry about it, but i will continue with Durus Beardface when i will be back home, i think Azaron will wait for me and we will rest with characters on safe place to this moment.
If I am able I might be able to clear some time for myself to hop on EFU, had a good break and ready to return with Bunwhal. ;)
Got another job, Monday through Friday deal, though, so my activity will probably remain sort of blah, but I'll be around still
Going on vacation, be around on August 9th.
I'm baaaack.
welcome back, big guy.
Just got phonecall about Surgical consult on the broken hand situation. Still hammering out deetz but expect about 50% RwG presence for the week, probably the occasional hour here and there. Forums best way to get in touch with me via PM or letter forum if any business underway.
May you have a quick recovery and return with an optimal robo-hand.
I'll be having less time for EFU for a little while. I'll still be around but less time to be IG than I've had lately.
Work thru Sat Nite, bb after!
A few more days of vacations and I should be back.
Going to continue to be gone or completely sporadic till Tuesday next week.
Gone august 7,8, and 9.
Geldgier Schicksal will not be in game this weekend.
Still alive. Hand hurts but full recovery promised after PT. Out indefinitely, Tonk retired.
Feel better soon, RwG. Take good care of yourself!

gonna take a couple days
I'm out until my graphics card gets a Boot Camp driver for Windows 10. Conveniently aligns with a busy stretch IRL that will hopefully wrap up before the driver release. Sorry to anyone who is missing Neona.
I'll be taking a break after tonight, I think. RL could probably do with some attention from me.
GSID: Twilight's Gift, PC: Yoth Thaneespi
Troubles with family and unfounded accusations of theft leaving me on street for now. Not sure how or when I'll be able to NWN for a while yet, since this is essentially a desktop and has no wireless or places I could plug it in (Or means to transport it). I'll be back soon as I can.....
Hey Guys! This is "TheShadow" / Illluminus reporting in! I'm going to be out of game until my schedule solidifies, currently, With school starting up this monday and my father in town (only once a month), I don't have time to dedicate, and frankly, with class' / sports from 7:30 am to 8:30 pm, (having to wake up at 6:30 and go to bed around 10pm), I'll be literally too busy to get in game during most weekdays. That being said! Weekends will also be quite busy, while i'll hopefully be able to get on at least once a week, Dorissa Sennesse is going to be out for a while, of fighting the Crusade against Homework.
Also, My Appologies to SilkandSteel, Pentaxius, NGCS, and in a small way KOP for dissapearing on y'all, Life is life, hopefully You'll still be alive when i'm fully active again, but i'm not holding bets. >.<
Character: Dorissa Sennesse
Seeya!
I'm out as well, school starting again (college) time is going to get tight, that and questing while on call in the Fire Dept is..iffy.
Deathstar/thomas carnan
Hi again, EFU! I'm a player from about two years ago, so maybe no one remembers me, but I'm so happy to see one of my favorite PWs still up and running! I hope I can get on and play soon, if my IRL schedule allows it!
May be gone for a few days at least while I deal with a hard-drive problem. Sorry to those who've any reliance on me for plot stuff.
Won't quite be gone, but will be a bit more scarce for the next few days. Family health issues.
Hurricane Danny is projected to be a direct hit here. Yay. Will be less available though as I rush to finish repairs on a house before it gets wet and board/unboard 8 properties. Not so yay. All depends on if it fizzles out before reaching or not.
New hard-drive arrived and installed, I'm free to return IG once again.
Agent Rourke's back in play, although my playing times are somewhat constricted.
Due to family circumstances I will not be able to play EFU for the next four months, I will be helping a family member through a difficult program and that will consume most of my time. If you wish to contact me you can pm me still as I will have IRC on with my phone and I will check the forums on occasion on my phone. I apologies for any rp I will not be able to take part in and what I will miss with Vartol.
See you soon,
Zango_Unchained
I'm back in glorious form
After a break due to a combination of personal reasons and an increased job workload, I am back.
Should be back around for EFU, newly invigorated. Let me know if there's something that I left ignored and needs Szul's attention from the break.
RL etc etc..gone for a bit. Back with something interesting I hope, when I return.
Too steaming mad to play right now. I'll be back when I'm back.
Finished calming down. Sorry about that.
May be gone for a day or two due to unexpected complications with my desktop computer.
Look to my coming at first light on the fifth day. At dawn look to the east.
I've come to a working solution for my internet, I'll be back ingame.
Still here! Haven't abandoned Hrodebert or NWN or my.concept. But MGSV just came out soooo
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, I will be largely unavailable due to another trip to the narrow turd of the US, Tennessee.
EFU: Not like riding a bike!
I started a new job a week ago, so Ezra has been sparse and will continue to be for a few more days. By Sunday it should be smoother sailing(no more 12 hour days), and I'll be around more.
Also, not going to lie, Metal Gear Solid V is a very good game that's been occupying all my free time.
Moving this weekend, will be around sparsely
I need a break due to RL circumstances. I'll be gone for at least the weekend, probably a week, possibly longer. Take care, everybody.
My time available to play has been greatly decreased this past week and a half and seems like it'll be that way until this weekend.
Back for now.
Unfortunately (or fortunately!) for EfU, I have very limited time to give to it during this coming Fall. For that reason, I will be running some "farewell" stuff this weekend before I will be mostly gone for the rest of this year. I might occasionally pop up to run a small quest or help out other DMs but do not expect for any kind of consistent presence.
Thus, if you see me in IRC or IG after this week, I am not the person you should talk about current plots or your characters' longstanding plans. But I'll happily help with any minor issues that DMs can help with whenever I'm around and have time so don't be afraid to ask help for those.
I wish you all the very best EfU Fall 2015, I sense like it will be a good one!
Hey all, been busy. Pretty much relegated to weekends. Catch me then!
I will be taking my yearly break until next summer, unless I fail my will save at the sight of an endearing prelude/plot. I'll always be lurking on the forums (but not on IRC, too distracting), and if you want to reach me - just send me a PM.
I might be a little less active...
Work is keeping me pretty busy, as well. If you need me, best way to find me is on IRC, and we can work some time out. Otherwise, I'll be restricted to late night EFU and weekends.
Metrovin here, im back.
Hopefully the little hin-turned-kobold hasn't died yet!
Will need someone to PM me a list of PCs that have died since my absence, maybe some lore/story changes too! I've missed a lot!
I'm moving this week and still enthralled by Destiny.
Rehk is still alive and well and I hope to be back in action next Monday.
Don't expect me to be IG or active much except idling in IRC at least for a few days. Recovering from some RL.
I'm also posting here, because I like attention. I'm back!
Who's this cmenden guy?
I'm probably not going to have time to get online until monday (28th). I'll try to keep tabs on the forums when I get the chance. Will try to be online more afterward to make up for lost time.
BTH's better half is back in action.

I'm back. Still a bit exhausted from the weekend, but I'll be on tonight.
My play time might become non-existent for an indeterminable amount of time once this Sunday rolls around due to the threat of a hurricane hitting my region. Last time this happened I was without power for two weeks, so I'm hoping the power company has learned something. I'll post again in this thread once the damage is known.
Hagkir Kingarhd's handler here. I'm better off since my absence forewarning a month or so ago, and am hoping to get back in the EFU groove!
A public thanks to the brigadiers of the Dorf Hole for holding things down and keeping the lair from spiralling into complete obscurity. Let's ayeladhailkin it up soon!
I've got two Street Fighter tournaments to play in this weekend, one of which is out of town--so I'll be gone from Friday until late Sunday or early Monday (Probably early monday, because there is ALSO a beach where I'm going so yeaaaaaahhhh). It's been a busy September for me, but Ezra should be around more after this weekend.
Geldgier is out this weekend. Might be back IG on Monday night.
If it wasn't obvious, RL stuff handled mostly, back to playing as normal again (too much).
Tibus out for the weekend, maybe some of next week.
Hey all, should have some more time to play in the next couple weeks. Looking forward to getting back into the swing of things.
While I am no longer NUCLEAR and WILD with Big Boss, I just got into the vermintide beta a d I've been playing that. I have not abandoned my concept or efu and will return eventually. The new perks are exciting and if nothing else I keep concepting
I'm going to be moving my family across the country, so I'll be taking about 2 weeks off in order to finish packing, move, and get settled. I should be able to respond to IG letters and forum PMs, but I won't be logging in.
Don't forget about Perry while I'm gone!
Really, really busy at work, recently. I'm going to be restricted to weekends/ random logins during the week for a little bit.
Hey guys. It's long been my contention that if you aren't having fun playing a game, you should take a break and go do something else. If you stay out of a misguided sense of duty to the other players, you still won't have fun and are all too likely to ruin the fun for the others as well.
Long story short: due to RL, I am not having fun right now. I need to spend some time settling that. I'll hopefully be back but I can't say precisely when. You guys take care.
~tOH.
Taking the day off, I'll be around the forum if anyone needs to get a hold of me.
With the crater of impact that is RwG landing in gradschool and picking up my life and moving things are finally settled down.
23 hours from now I'll be back in EFU mode.
Finishing a huge project tonight, will be back in action in a week friendos :).
Hi guys.
Some of you might've noticed my absence recently.
I'm having a pretty serious infection along my right cheekbone, so, lots of medication and a decent amount of pain!
I'll most likely be pretty sparse 'till it gets better.
See ya!
Get well soon!
^ echoed, those suck. =[
Taking a break. Maybe I'll be back, time will tell.
Some RL stuff came up. Will be gone for at least a few days.
I am back a bit sooner than expected. Always nice when RL loosens its choke hold a little. :)
Adding to my above post. RL kicked in hard. Will be totally unreachable for the next couple days. Best case scenario is drastically reduced playing times for the foreseeable future. I'll check back in in a few days.
After a good few years of fun and such on EFU I think its time to part ways.
I'll likely pop into the forums to check how the story progresses, but that will be it. A number of you I know and play other games with, outside of EFU so see you about.
At its best EFU is a phenomenal, fun project. Be sure to donate, as its amazing that its free!
Best wishes to Howland and the team.
Stay classy.
Did some awesome stuff, hope you change your mind, Yalta.
I've been sparse due to a general funk, but I'm getting over it. I should be IG a bit more often going forward.
busy until monday, so probably wont be on much.
Then, the tyrran priestess will be back.
I'll be visiting friends and won't likely be in-game for nine days starting Saturday (or possibly Friday night). I'll be back the Sunday night after Halloween (November 1st). PC is Apotheke Geldgier.
Out of town work. Almost no playtime for awhile!
I seem to have borked my install up, so I'll be out until I get around to fixing it!
Bad timing but circumstances have aligned such that I have been/will continue to be super busy for a couple days
I've come to the conclusion that my time is going to continue to be very limited until after Thanksgiving. Work is really pushing to get a lot of things done before the holidays hit, and that's going to really impact my EFU time. I'll be in and out, but hardly consistent or reliable.
Hey all, know I said I was going to have more time to play, but it hasn't worked out that way. I should be able to pop in now and again, but won't be too invested for at least a couple weeks. Keep rocking!
I will be DM'ing this weekend and hoping to push forward some certain plots.
Tragically I am very sick, so I will not be able to get IG as much until I get better
Hope you feel better soon.
Quote from: Sankis;n648304Hope you feel better soon.
QFT
This are begining to stabalize at work. Going to try and be on this weekend.
My civic duties to American Justice System are taking up 15+ hours a day of my time, so I'll be on EFU less. Hopefully it'll clear up monday.
Out for a few days
Gonna be taking a few days for recharging the batteries
Quote from: bobofwestoregonusa;n648668My civic duties to American Justice System are taking up 15+ hours a day of my time, so I'll be on EFU less. Hopefully it'll clear up monday.
Disregard all hope. I will be away for two or three weeks. I will log on sometimes at nights when I'm not to tired, but transportation alone is tiring, and the work I'm going to be doing will be stressful to say the least.
Working on three projects right now. Won't be on much, but things should calm slightly after Sunday
Hopefully my kitchen stuff is getting fixed today and I'll have more time to play as a result.
Finals season is upon me so I'll be sparse. I'll be on IRC off and on but playtime probably reduced to one day a week.
Today was that day so Rehk's off on contract on the dark lake.
Hi folks. The break I have taken has done well for me, and as such I will be extending it for a good long time. One day I may return but I am liking how life is currently. Keep things fresh and delicious EFU!
For anyone wondering where Ordvuul is, I'm still in jury duty. Can't sirens much time on the irc because I'm supposed to avoid Social Media. I'll be another week or two EFU.
I've been tied up by some things that have taken precedence over EFU (no, not Fallout 4 or any other game). I'm looking forward to getting back into Geldgier, it's just a matter of time.
Totally playing Fo4. Was not playing anything relevant anyhow, but will return, once I have a decent concept/char to play. Still lurking in IRC and forums from time to time.
Internet has been off for the past week. Tech just came out today and noticed the line was cut. Won't have any one out to fix it for three weeks. Not sure when I can get back on til then.
Hey, guys- it's been a lot of fun, but I just have the time or desire to commit to efu right now. Wish everyone the best. I'll poke my head into IRC every now and then.
Rookie. This is unacceptable. :( Keep it strong man.
Quote from: NothingGoldCanStay;n649298Rookie. This is unacceptable. :( Keep it strong man.
Agreed Dan. Unsat.
Some RL stuff came up, so it may be a bit till I get back in EFU.
A familiar darkness settles in over EFU. For the first time in a dozen weeks It begins again (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeK5YimF4vg)
I'm back at full power.
Well. That was an embarrassingly quick turn around.
Weekend vacation, which may lead into EFU break for the holiday coming up next week to hang with the fam.
Found a house, so in a couple days I'll be back. If I can get internet set up quickly. The US is so alien to me but happy to be here now!
Well nevermind that. Not until december 8th.
Well Szul is dead so I'm probably going to take a break from IG for a bit until I can figure out something that really inspires me to play again. For now, breaktime!
Finals time is finally upon us, so expect me to be quite busy.
Gone until Friday if I am luck, or Saturday if I am unlucky.
Quote from: Elf Lover;n648920Working on three projects right now. Won't be on much, but things should calm slightly after Sunday
Was a bit too optimistic here. Still busy for the next few weeks, but I'll try to get on when I can.
Gonna be a bit busy for most of December. Got some important stuff to get done on the weekends, and my work is gonna flip to nightshift for a while about half way through the month. Will be around, just, might be random for a while. >_>
Thanksgiving cometh, and as such my activity will be spotty until after Friday. After that, finals cometh, and my activity will lesson to almost nil while I attempt to salvage my grades.
Character: Sable the Collared
So long, and thanks for all the fish.
Work, out for a few days. Back Saturday. Don't burn lower down in my absence!
K I'm back
Taking a break from EFU, don't know when I will be back.
aww, Kate! Come back soon, please! Marsk seems cool
Stay safe DK
I'll try to log in every now and then, starting 10 hour work shifts on Sat-Tues so I maybe absent these days. Wes-Fri are my days off however so I will have free time then.
Not leaving now or anything but just throwing this as a heads up. My family is presently in Japan for the next three years as of august and my folks are coming back December 18th. So from the 18th of December to January I'll be MIA because I won't see them again until next thanksgiving and fam > efu.
However also starting in january I've got school and work stating back up so- While I know I have a lot going on with a lot of people I plan to spam as much EFU time as I'm able in the next ten days to get all the plots rolling and fun, Holiday Break, then I'll be on a part time EFU schedule when I return.
From dec 8trh to dec 12th I will be majorly unavailable. I will still be on IRC, though I doubt I will be found IC at all. I have plenty of double shifts this week, and I don't have the time to play EFU in between all of them. Have fun guys, keep rockin
Hello all, apologies about my absence of late. As some may know already I have been away because of my health but I am feeling much better now - when work isn't swamped because of seasonal madness I'll be around :)
Hurrah, you're not dead! Happy things are getting better. Some well needed rest in order too once work slows. *nodnod*
lmao
Though I haven't been around much lately due to finals, I just learned that my grandmother passed away last night. I have one more final this week, then I'll be spending the upcoming weekend with my family.
Till then, keep trucking EFU.
Been sick and busy with stuff, and Savanah's Grandma died so I'm sort of out for a bit. Might be on a bit more this weekend, but things will be all over the place as mentioned before.
My last character clocked in at about two hundred hours in less than three weeks. I definitely need to get out of here.
More importantly, I did everything I had longed to. I finally played a Spellguard Agent. I accessed Serena Tower's forum. I've gathered a grand collection of spoilers, directly and indirectly. I reached level nine! I got to experience all the new content and scripts. I would like to have contributed more to the community in return, but I know that is not meant to be. And I cannot imagine setting out to do any of it again.
Thank you for being the best server I've ever had the pleasure to be part of.
Probably won't have time for Efu until past new years.
I'm going to Rome, so I'll be out till the new year most likely. Happy holidays!
So my laptop has started having iasues, 100% disk usage and now stuck in a blue screen of death loop. Hopefully I can fix with a clean install BUT until then I might be gone a few days.
-murian Galendur
Today is my last day playing in EFU until January 4th - spending much anticipated time with my family for the holidays! I hope you guys have a Very Merry Perry Christmas! :D
Today is my last day as well- I'll be gone until the 27th or so, depending how things go. Merry christmas EFU
Merry Christmas and Happy new year! I don`t plan on devoting much time to EFU in 2016 and beyond, but who really knows. Take it easy, folks.
I'll probably be scarce or gone entirely until about Sunday, though reachable on IRC. Merry Christmas, EFU.
Taking a small break during holidays as well, Brovy 'Blackvein' Thillx should be back within a week or so. Enjoy your holidays!
Ironically, differently from everyone else, my workplace has finally stopped imploding from shitty financial decisions and so I will, 1) actually have a job in the new year, 2) actually be able to have holidays until 4th January and therefore 3) be around a lot more often except for Christmas day.
I really wanna be playing, but trying to juggle a new job and the holidays and such has been hell. Hopefully things will be less crazy in january!
Bring Tibus back!
The Greedfiend will be 95% unavailable for the next week, until Monday, January 4th.
Hello all, you may have seen me poking about the last couple of days. I should have a little time for EFU this winter. See you IG.
Have some very serious health issues with a family member come up. Won't have much time for EFU for an indeterminate amount of time....but might be around now and then late at night.
Out til next year! Be back on the 2nd or so! -hope your health stuff works out Vlaid!
Brovy Thillx is back to the Abyss for a week holiday, because I'll be moving to a much better place. However, it'll be at least a week without internet at home (I'll still access it from work), so I'll be on EFU break for at least 5 days. See you all later! :)
I'm back but with school and work my schedule is going to be weirdly all over the place and my playtimes super errant. Still gotta figure out where/how/if EFU fits into my new schedule but I've got a character made and I'll be around from time to time. Probably not the usual frenetic and manic plotting and scheming and leading people expect of me but RL > EFU.
Done with vacation - the Greedfiend should be IG more often.
Work is starting to build up, my play times will likely be all over the place, so Bunwhal may not be on much for the time being.
After that amazing event, and seeing as I'll only have saturdays to play until march, I have decided to take a break instead of trying to get involved on a one day a week bases.
Seeya around, be back in march
I'll be away for a bit.
Taking a short break, to come back with a fresh mindset.
Work is very busy next few weeks, playtime will go down proportionally.
Seeing as I've played 30 minutes of EFU in the last ten days I'm gonna go ahead and just say back on break lol.
Rock your digital faces off as much as I'm rocking RL
My free time is over, see ya again someday.
I'll be taking a break from HRNT for a lil' bit, until the juices start flowing again. I'll be on and off on various things to get back into the swing of things. If anyone needs me i'll be bouncing around IRC and the Forums while being around IG for some time
Geldgier will be out for the weekend.
Still on moving arrangements. Place I've moved to did not work out, going on to the next on Wed. This means more time without internet until I get it all fixed. Soon as I get net running again, probably in about a week or two, then I'll be back. Not sure if I'll need to apply for Brovy again, so those who have unfinished business with him, hanging in there! See you soon, EFU, happy New Year! :D
It's been a fun year, but I think I'm done.
I'll stay in IRC for a little if anyone wants to keep in contact. I wish you all the very best.
NGCS
Coming back for a bit now that I have my anxiety treated. Will be rolling up a new pc for a fresh start. See you all in game!
I'm taking a break until things finalize for a little bit, 'Final Sanctuary' and all, Then I'll be back in the full swing of things. Seeya around
Failed my will save. Sorry. I'm staying.
Should have drank Owl's Wisdom.
I'm very busy with financial stuff for the next few days, if anyone has business with legendary merchant Julia Agostini they will have to wait!
Back now, should be good to play on and off.
My internet has been playing up during the past few days which has stopped myself from using anything that uses internet. Until it's fixed I won't be hopping on efu, hopefully it'll be fixed sometime next week.
Taking a short break to focus on some other things. Back in a few days, hopefully the upcoming weekend.
SC NOOOOO OUR LAST ACTIVE DM!! :(
Thought I was coming back but I believe my GPU has now failed.
ShadowCharlatan, thank you all the fun and excitement in recent weeks/months and the Crystal war etc. It was a lot of fun!
Sort of busy with work for a few more days so sorry i havent been as active efu! i'll try and get my shiiii-stuff together so i can get back! Aztallin must just be roaming the darks for now in my absence
Cheers, NecroDude

Quote from: ShadowCharlatan;n653577It is worth letting you all know...
Unfortunately I now have considerably less time to devote to EFU. So I will not be around as much as I have been for the past few months, and will be confining my activity to backroom building, limited DMing, & pitching in what I can to advance EFU:R.
Have fun, friends!
Thanks for what you have done and continue to do! You're a real force behind this place, hope to see you soon!
Farewell!
As it has been expressed to me that several DMs and players do not approve of my playstyle or attempts at contributing to the server, I will be on hiatus; I do not wish to expend as much effort as I sometimes do on this game if my endeavours are not welcomed.
My PC is experiencing hard disk failure and at the moment I am currently running a diagnostic and repair on it. So, until further notice Meriam Lily will be away.
Heading out on an arctic training operation. Back in a few weeks. Try not to burn the place down.
The hard disk failure seems to have been remedied for now. Will need a long period of time to test it more, but for now I'm back. Short break, I know.
I'm back! :D
EFU not holding my attention much lately(as might be obvious by my inability to get back into things over my last couple PCs), taking a break until I see something that interests me going on. I'll check back in now and then maybe play a little, but doubtful.
When I've reached some milestone in my thesis (publishing the first big paper) I will treat myself to a 3 months EFU intensive break.
I'll be poking my head back in for another PC here in about a week or so. Anyone who is looking to concept, feel free to hit me up in IRC.
Hi EFU, I'm very busy lately. I'll be in and out of the game when I have some free time, but don't expect much. Sorry!
Believe or not, I've actually been here. Just... trying to find more moments in time where I can jump in tangibly.
Quote from: Davenfelth;n653762Heading out on an arctic training operation. Back in a few weeks. Try not to burn the place down.
And back. No fires. Nice.
I've been very busy lately and still am so I may not be on too much, I will try and hope on as much as possible when I have any spare time. Until things clear up, Bunwhal won't be seen around too much.
Well, good news!
I graduate the south carolina fire academy fri afternoon, therefore my play time will increase dramtically, expect me around this weekend and from now on.
8 weeks of hell is nearly over lol
After an unexpected bout with fire, my hand is in acceptable enough shape to get back in game. Looking forward to it.
Starmonger, you should have been there.
Earlier, my hard disk had been misbehaving and I temporarily remedied the issue. Unfortunately such is not the case any longer. I have ordered the part, but until then my attendance upon the server will be very low, when I can get my computer to function. I should return within a week.
Recent events have left me with somewhat of a temper, I will not be playing this game as often as I have been until I get over it. Take care everyone.
Hello little friends,
It just so happens that I busted my laptop computer and now I'm waiting for it to get fixed, as in waiting for parts to arrive from the far away civilization. Until then, all I have is my Playstation3, which can supply me with many of my needs, EFU not being one of them. It can take a week before you see Brovy Thiilx around again, and for that I apologize.
See you soon!
:D
A few folks have met me already on Emelyn. I used to play back on EFU and EFUA using a different name, and recently got the urge to start playing EFU again. Been a good couple weeks so far!
Moved to the US. Should get back to being able to play more regularly as soon as I have settled down.
I'll be leaving the server for time undetermined. I feel like I've cocked it up once too many times already adventuring IG, and if people aren't getting fed up with me, I'm getting fed up with myself. Mostly I put up with my shortcomings in player skill and character build because I enjoyed the roleplay we all produced together, and even that gradually faded away as people lost interest in their characters and left loose strands all around.
While I won't deny I've woken up feeling extremely salty (sorry I_love_cats; and while we're at it sorry VicariousOmnipotence and pof MInamoto, I'm a shit), looking back and reviewing Gillian's path, I can't help but feel a certain tragic closure as he fell to the very first enemy he made (yes, he's the #1 public enemy, but let's not get ahead of ourselves!) in short order after a DM event that mirrored how he entered into play. The clumsy pally had an interesting peripheral role in ridding the Watchers of Odelstad, so it's fitting his death serves as a prologue for Odelstad's new villainous plan.
And I'm glad I forked over near 2000 gold on someone's rez. Haha, no phat lewts for ya cunt.
Also, you fellows love playing late into your night, which is late as fuck into my night, and I really need to graduate Uni this year... Bad combo.

It was lots of fun rping with Gillian, and I can understand where you're coming from I myself have been a bit down lately that everyone who I used to play with dissapeared over such a short time. Some due to the Odelstad thing, but a large amount of them also disappeared for other unknown or known reasons. Have fun and hope to see you on efu at a later date. In case you don't know my IRC name I was the one who played (Well still is playing) Warbis.

I'd just like to express how greatly I enjoyed roleplaying with your character (I play Arantras, the elven scholar) even though it was only really the one prolonged interaction. I would like to say there is definitely a place for a player such as yourself within the EFU community, because EFU is not about the mechanics of a computer game even if for some players it may be more so than others. It is about the stories we weave together and the enjoyment derived through all the nuances of characterisation, roleplay and yes the occasional gameplay triumphs.
I remember poignantly how your character spoke about losing friends, in reaction to the sentiment you share about people losing interest in their characters. To which I will add response following another quote:
Quote from: Rimanah;n655014Also, you fellows love playing late into your night, which is late as fuck into my night, and I really need to graduate Uni this year... Bad combo.
Real life is and should be a priority. I know it is for me. And this is why Arantras is not the most active of PCs, because I simply can't be in-game all the time. Some of the players of the characters that yours lost touch with would fall into the same boat and I'd go so far as to advise you do indeed put preference in your studies first and foremost.
With that said, I would encourage you not to leave the community outright. EFU rewards those who stick to it through thick or thin, whether it be harsh in-character/in-game circumstances or just taking the opportunity to continue what you enjoy (engaging roleplay!) and not worrying so much about the critics (everyone has an opinion.) There are also some unwritten rules in the community which can only be discovered and adapted to through experience/time.
P.S. If you want to talk about this further, feel free to contact me via PM (although PMs might still be bugged on the forums.) No need to clutter this thread. And my response is already threatening to move away from its purpose.
Gotta re-install everything, but I'm not gone and will be back soon.
I'm out for the weekend visiting my sister. Will be back late sunday!
Spring break is in full effect at last for RwG!
Gone from Sunday to Thursday then back in action with York.
Honeymoon for me <3 I will see you guys back on the 12 of April, at the latest. Have fun!
Enjoy, and congrats.
Work is keeping my playtimes sparse til the weekend or so..be back soonish!
Sorry folks, shop's closed until tuesday. On holidays with the family, with only horrid mobile internet.
So I just got bumped from 25 hours a week to 42 on strange hours with my job so I'll most likely be fading in and out for a couple weeks while I try to get my bearings on a new sleeping schedule and what not.
Busy for a few days. IG activity minimal.
Been occupied... just another... ddddday or two and I'll have... -a moment- for EFU c___c
Gone hiking until saturday afternoon/night!
Have fun!
Doing a bit of Camping and Fishing. Won't be back until Wednesday. Hold the fort down while i'm out, eh?
I will be missing Friday, Saturday and most of Sunday I imagine.
Not really feeling the current PC. Mostly inactive until I finish fleshing out something with a bit more depth and interest to me.
im done for now
Hello. Just wanted to let you guys know I'll be slightly less present the next two weeks due to a mid term.
Hello people. OneRedneckArmy/Nammykun here. I'll be very inactive as I recently got my hours doubled from part time to full time at a solid 42 hours. Will be making some pretty big changes to my sleeping schedule and my finances, so I'll be away while these changes take place.
I am also very busy for the next two weeks. I should be back to peak playing capacity on the 15th or so.
After a disappointing week and half(ish maybe) of two pvp deaths, I need to rethink my next concept, flesh it out..
hope it won't take too long.
Out for most of the week, due to work, back Saturday with a bit of luck.
I once again have full-time hours in addition to university courses.
Although my pervasive insomnia should ensure that I remain a consistent presence on the server, I can be expected to stay offline from 3:00 to 13:00 GMT throughout the month of April. Resting, eating, or attending class should hold my attention more sporadically.
I should mention I will be scarce until near late this month (probably be active mostly on weekends until then though.)
I will be a bit scarce myself until the end of the week, probably.
I'm working on a short film and the project needs to be edited and finalized within 3 weeks time. I've got a big list of stuff that needs to be done and I'm only about halfway down it, so we'll see how long it takes me.
Of course, I'll be in IRC. I just won't be able to spare much time for getting IG for a while. If you need Rebecca, just let me know, I guess, and we'll see what we can work out.
Hey nerds.
Been like a year, but I'm back now.
AArrrrc! Welcome back bro.
Spring break time. Aside from a 3 days vacation starting on Sunday, I'll be around a lot more for the next 2-3 weeks.
Server isn't my kind of place right now. I'll be back when things are a bit different.
RL kicking my ass and due to skewed playtimes keep bouncing around concepts and can't settle on anything.
Easier to just stop trying atm. Won't be IG but will be on IRC.
I'm back..
=/
I'll be visiting friends on vacation all of next week and so Geldgier (if he survives EFU for another week) will be absent from Saturday the 23rd of April through Sunday the first of May (First of May, first of Mayyyyyyyy (//%22https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jDyz6wFmS4%22) - NSFW)
My graphics card shit out on me. My laptop's fan recently died, and my budget only allow me to replace one of these things. I'll be back on EFU whenever I get my laptop back from HP.
My sincerest apologies for disappearing like I did, for as long as I did.
Personal circumstances demanded a sudden, and somewhat lengthy break.
I hope I can get back to it, about now!

I was wondering where you were. Welcome back!
Back
guess i am back
welcome back cool_bud wundy.
As for me I'm gonna be MIA until monday or tuesday due to RL deadlines.
I'll be around IRC/Forums but no time for IG.
Pvp gone sour. Taking a few days off to clear my head.
I'm out on my vacation (http://www.efupw.com/forums/forum/main-forums/off-topic-discussion/63726-efu-r-leaving-returning-posts?p=657361#post657361). See you nerds when I get back. Don't blow the server up.
Unexpected company in town tonight, thru Sunday. I am around and can be ingame if anyone needs Azgal for Canal business etc..but probably won't be ingame til Sunday night, otherwise.
Busy at work the next few weeks and playtime might suffer a bit.
Maymester is starting, I'll be gone this week (and weekend) while I get the schedule started... and I'll be slightly less active after, sorry if the man hunt for ferrin is still on.
Its the roughest part of the year this month lol, a full semesters class in one month.
EFU kinda boring me lately, more work than fun to do anything.
Taking a break until something changes!
Hi everyone, I've just been caught up with some minor medical issues/surgeries that are now resolved, so hooray for that. Hopefully I can maintain a more active presence IG now!
I miss you all :(
/feeling nostalgic today
SN <3
Weekends getting busy on the horizon. Will be gone Thursday to Saturday this week.
*Knock knock*
Bunwhals back, tell your friends. ;)
I'll more or less be gone from the game for a while, though might hop on IRC now and then. The server has been extremely unwelcoming since I returned, and between that and me not being able to come up with a concept that really appeals to me, my motivation is shot. Maybe I just need a few days' break, or maybe it'll be longer, I don't know.
I'm undergoing a move and unpacking and dealing with shenanigans with work all week, and then I should be back in action (hopefully).
Work busy rest of the week, sporadic late night maybe (PST) this week. Vacation next week. Skazi will be scarce till the 28th or so. I will be checking forums, etc while I am away.
I'll be out for the weekend. Back on monday.
Looking to potentially start playing again over the weekend. Been about 7 months or so since I last logged in so I'm looking forward to seeing what's changed and what not. Anything in particular I should be aware of or just dive in and see where it goes?
The rumor thread may be a good idea. Also I am totally biased, but this could come in handy too:
http://www.efupw.com/forums/forum/in-character-forums/public-board/648771-the-dunwarren-daily-news-sheet-published-issues
Finally done with all of my tests, so I should be able to have fun again.
Sick and bit more busy than I thought I would be, be around soon enough, aside.
Most recent GoT episode was so much EFU-esque ... that it awoke my inner hunger for GRIM & DRAMATIC....
... that I MIGHT be back soon-ish if I can squeeze some time in.
No promises tho!
Work is starting to build up, I may not be on EFU nearly as often as I usually am but I will try and make time to hop on when available!
Climbed a mountain, sailed a sea, drank margaritas at sunset on a beach. Thank god that shit is over..be back ingame tonight/tmrw
^ That sounds awesome! :D Welcome back.
Hello! Finals are around the corner, so I'll be around less than usual until July's 1st. Will still be around for what I'm testing and to make sure the content will be released soon.
EFU is a labor of love for everyone. In the end our love and our time is the force which animates EFU, which makes it real and makes it fun. I am deeply, deeply upset about something which has occurred, it has ruined the experience for me and I do not want to participate any longer. Do not message me for details. However if you are one of my friends and want to get in touch with me to share contact information or say goodbye or something like that, I will hang around on IRC for a few days.
Thank you to everyone I had fun with over the years. Goodbye.
RL has spiked hard between school and life and other business.
My PC is still active but my already sporadic playtimes gonna be pretty heavily reduced. I'll be back when I'm back, keep on keepin' on.
Going to be on a roadtrip to around Moonlighter's 'hood this weekend starting Thursday this week. I may or may not be back in-game on Sunday night. Then I will be gone the weekend after that too on another roadtrip.
-gracken (Geldgier von Schicksal)
Away for a week in Barcelona.
I should be back around at least weekly for the foreseeable.
Hello everyone. I played a few halflings during EFU's first chapter, but never really stuck around for the surface. I'm positively shocked about the community still standing strong, and that the setting takes place in the Underdark yet again. I will take a look at the server when time permits. In the meanwhile, I'm open to character pitches to help me ease in with all the new lore.
heya, sorry i didnt make a post earlier, but i've been absent for a little bit from efu as ive had serious internet issues on top of work hours escalating massively.. sorry for all who were involved with pipp and it seemed like he just disappeared, i'm gonna try and get active again really soon as my internet is back up and strong and my hours should decrease soon ^_^ pipp will return!
Works is starting to die down again, expect Bunwhal to be on more frequent.
Returning after optimizing my work schedule for ultimate EFUing time. Prepare to be RPed hard!
I really need an extended EFU break until I remember how bored I get when I'm not playing EFU - I have zero energy to do anything at the moment. I'm going to play extremely casual if at all until my batteries recharge.
Life is catching up and sleep isn't. I need to pace myself, and won't be on as often.
Summer has hit and after a few good days of EFU gonna be heading to the burbs to see the fam. Be back some time next week. Still alive and rockin
I will be out of the game until early September.
Nooo D: how will be work towards finally becoming one with the stewards! D: ... Sigh.. Someway.. Somehow.. Anyways see ya when you come back Saturnalia :D those of us who still live will be waiting for the return of their steward friend, with no doubt tons of IC developments of knowledge and progression of story to share with Lotho, and who knows.. maybe some of us will be stewards when you come back! You'll be missed while your gone, had all kinds of plans and rp to share with lotho that will simply have to wait until he returns! Hope your not having to leave out of an emergency and hope your time off efu has you hungering for your return when September comes around!

Thanks, I'm going to be in a monastery in the middle of nowhere sculpting people. As low tech as can be. It does create a hankerin' for internet based fun.
I've been a little sick recently, which has made it harder to get the proper motivation to log in and do stuff. I'm going to try and not drop off the face of the world completely, but if you need Yseult for anything in particular feel free to send me a PM telling me to get my ass in gear.
It was mentioned on IRC I should probably post this here:
I'm on a hiking trip! I'll be back just as soon as I have a computer again. Dont do anything fun without me, of course.
Deadlines looming ever closer. Won't be on much this week, if at all.
Reachable by forum PMs and the occasional IRC.
Work. Scarce during the week, til July. Checking forums daily and droppin in IRC when I can.
Away for a week. Glastonbury.
I will be out of game for a bit, could be fast or long, personal issues. Will be back eventually.
So it turns out I'm a liar! While I was ill I couldn't get myself in motion, but I am back now. Still recovering a tad, but expect to see me IG once more.
Wont be around for a few days as I finish off my first year of college but expect Greywall to re appear in a few days time
I won't be able to login for a week or so. See you again then!
My job got downsized, as in terminated, so I have copious amounts of free time for the next several days, my return shall be sooner then expected!
Not that I've been very active lately, but I'll be gone this weekend on a roadtrip. Gonna tear up Moonlighter's neighborhood again. Happy EFUing!
Semi situated, will be about on and off for now, or idle on IRC
I'm gone for a long time. Nothing I want to do here, or find myself capable of doing. My last few days were a complete setback in enjoyment and I keep trying to find excuses to keep on playing. So I'd rather do something else with my time.
New job. Hooray? I guess.. play times will be alot less, during the work week.
Guys, I need a bit of time in RL to deal with stuff. Had been waffling about it, but just got a good excuse to perma Rune so am doing that. I'll be back before too long. A month maybe.
I will say EfU proved a nice distraction from some of my stress but I really need to go deal with some of this. Thank you all for the fun times, and have fun while I am gone!
My power supply on my computer just blew an hour ago, I will try and get one tomorrow but if I can't I won't be able to get one until next week. Because of this I won't be hopping on Bunwhal until such is fixed. I will be checking the forums quite a bit, so if you wish to discuss anything to my PC make sure to leave a forum post to him. I will try to get on as soon as possible.
If one's been playing compulsively for hours everyday, is three days a long time..?
I'm more or less back. Probably won't play quite as often as before though.
Got the power supply today, so I'll be back in game once again!
Out until I get a new hard drive. Don't buy PNY!
I'm back for now. :)
gone a few days, died for the millionth time and im done with redoing the same quests for now
Going to out of state friday-sunday.
Exams, holidays and general real life shenanigans have kept me out of play for the last couple of weeks. Should hopefully be back end of next week.
Won't be back until mon/tues, my computer is being shipped to my house so.. It's going to be a while
Work is going to get busy for a bit, I won't be on as often, but I will hop on when I can.
Taking a break from EFU for a bit. Will be around significantly less or not at all for a while.
Old man checking in. EFU has always had a warm spot in my heart, and I've been feeling pretty nostalgic. Thought I'd come back and check things out.
Out for 12 Days
Camping in the wilds from satuerday to Tuesday.
Out of town and mostly unavailable for the next 11 days.
Got family in town until tomorrow or Monday, so I won't be around ingame much if at all.
I will be taking a break of an indeterminate length. See you.
I'll be sparse. Work catching up.
I am also busy for a little bit, should be back IG and playing in a week or so
Think im going to take a break from efu for a while after today.
I'll be back sunday/monday.
Out for a bit due to work related busyness.
Sorry for the uber long delay x_X i was out a lot longer than expected, but- I am back! And so is Pipp.. But.. As the times have changed- So has pipp :D
AFK for a few days.
Work took me out for two weeks or so..and looks to stay that way. No drama, just busy. Gone for the foreseeable future. Will be back someday, probably with a Dwarf...
Out of town until Tuesday.
Going to be out of town and be completely unavailable after Wednesday because GenCon.
Going to be unavailable after Tuesday and completely unavailable while I'm out of town because GenCon.
Seems that I can't get away from EFU. Coming back for a little bit to play around and do some learning. Finished a bunch of work so I have time to play again :)
Won't be on during this week, I should return on Saturday maybe earlier
I'm officially out until Monday.
Won't be around much until Saturday.
I'm off for 1-2 days
Sister poured drink into modem, no internet. No idea when i will be back
Some things have changed in work. Going to be away from gaming for a short while. Will still try and pop on IRC when I can.
Going to be scarce today and tomorrow.
Leaving for a family vacation tomorrow, and after that I'll likely be making preparations for an internship this fall. May still be on IRC, but playtime is likely to be drastically curtailed if not eliminated.
Gonna be out until sunday.
Gonna be pretty sparse this week, and going to Maui next week so I'll be totally gone then.
Quote from: sharkinajar;n663676Gonna be pretty sparse this week, and going to Maui next week so I'll be totally gone then.
It's a damn tough life full of toil and strife
We whalermen undergo.
And we don't give a damn when the day is done
How hard the winds did blow.
'cause we're homeward bound from the Arctic ground
With a good ship, taut and free
And we don't give a damn when we drink our rum
With the girls of Old Maui.
Be back around Sunday.
I'll be camping for two weeks and won't be able to hop on Bunwhal during that time. I will try and be on Monday and Tuesday but after that I will be gone. See you all in two weeks!
Playtime might be a bit sporadic for a while due to family health issues.
Quote from: Blue41;n664134Playtime might be a bit sporadic for a while due to family health issues.
I hope it is nothing too bad! Take care, hopefully everything will be all right in the end.
As for me: For some reason I don't really feel inspired to play just now. That's why I haven't shown much the past few days. My apologies to any who may have wished to interact with me.
I might be returning soon if the concept I'm considering running with is inspiring enough to roll with.
Hi! Have some things to sort out RL. Will be minimal for a few days
Going to be a bit more scarce the next 7'ish days. On holiday with the family.
Finding myself with little energy to log in. I'll probably be scarce for a while, so PM me on the forums or send me a message in IRC if you need something. Please remember that if I'm not logged in, it probably means I don't really feel like it, so don't go off demanding my presence over random acts of insanity or anything hm?
Monday/Tuesday, then next weekend extended to Tuesday, I'll be out of town.
Still AWOL. Work piling up.
Back, looking for concept ideas, got a few bouncing around, but nothing solid yet. Feel free to recruit me to your next whatever! PM, or catch me in IRC.
Efuincarnate is best faction member ever. Grab that shit up while you can.
Too many blue screens lately, so going to have someone to look at my machine. Hopefully it will be fixed in a few days but until then, I'm out.
School has started and already a busy schedule, I'll be around just not all the time
Going to be more limited in playing time very soon as I'm going to be starting work. I'll still be around, but I will have less time than I used to, particularly depending on the hours.
QuoteToo many blue screens lately, so going to have someone to look at my machine. Hopefully it will be fixed in a few days but until then, I'm out.
Strikes me a hunch it's a Windows 10 problem, by the way! Random bluescreens, unpredictable? If so, I can show you all the errors I've been compiling...
On the topical note, I am... bbbback, I guess. Ironically, it's easier for me to make some good time for EFU when I'm already busy as hell with school. We shall see how the rest of the semester influenes this.
Bunwhal is back is a blaze of glory, I should be on a fuck load the next three days. Can't wait to get back into the RP.
I have been gone with university, a new job, and a new game project I am leading. I will continue to be scarce, but I am not going to be completely gone. Hope to come back soon :).
Absolutely nothing I care for is happening. Taking an extended break.
I'm taking a break
Got my machine repaired. Need to install some stuff so I'll be back tomorrow :)
Just as a head's up, I won't be logging in to irc for the foreseeable once again. If you'd like to get in touch with me, please send me a forum PM or catch me when I'm in game.
I am still in a conference/symposium limbo. Hopefully next week I can get back into the action.
I'm on vacation this week, hence the amount of play time, but I'm traveling for the next few days after day. However, I should be around more next week, just not quite as much as the past few days.
I will be taking a week and a half off of EfU. Anyone with business with Helmuth will need to wait until then.
School's starting up for me, so RIP.
Life's gotten busy this weekend. I should be back tomorrow, though. Fortunately the timing works with Hadley's convalescence!
Probably taking an extended break. Might hang around IRC a bit before I duck out for a while.
Work catching up. Will be sparsed this week, and maybe the next.
I'll be out of commission for the foreseeable future due to a series of real life predicaments. PMs will be the best way to contact me going forwards.
Been on a surprise work trip for a few days and will be on it until Friday,
Given that I have other obligations as well as work which already eats much of my time, I will be very infrequent during the weekdays. That said, weekends (at least before Sunday night) I should be fairly free, but overall I'll be sporadic on weekdays.
I am out for the weekend. But aside from that I am slowly getting back into the action.
Gone for good this time. This is all edgeporn squidporn tripe garbage for faggots to stroke their micropeckers to.
Sorry for my stint of absence, got lots of information on my brain and don't want to overload too hard.
Will be going to Munich for the bier festival, I'll be back sunday.
So, I'm going to take a week or so off of EfU. I've enjoyed quite a bit, but I've also let a LOT of other things fall down doing so. That, and I think I just need to get away from it for a time and think things over without having EfU leaning over my shoulder - especially the good ol' "suddenly have a ton of things to do that you can't easily get out of".
Still going to be on IRC and the forums, but unless you need Kaylee specifically for something I'm not going to be on and around in game.
I'll be taking a break off EFU for a little, shouldn't be too long of one. I will make sure to hop on IRC so hit be up if you want a chat or want to deal with some IG.
Going to be out of town until around the middle of next week. I'll try to check the forums and handle PMs, but I'll have next to no IG presence for a bit!
TH has drug me back against my wishes so I return. Looking forward to learning an entirely new map.
Sweet, sweet vacation has arrived. I'll be out of town for a week with minimal forum presence!
After... nearly three years now, in and out of the server but never quite finding the way to slip off the hook or break the cycle, I think I was finally given a big enough of a middle finger to stop for good this time.
Later, EFU. It's been real.
I'll be back around in a little while. See you soon!
Cannot seem to find a groove, out til I can find something worthwhile. Later EFU!
Oh dear. I expected I'd have the internet where I was going, but it turned out to be a lot less reliable than expected. Add to that the equally unexpected extension of my stay, and things got a little messy.
I'm back now, though, and will be resuming my usual IG presence starting tomorrow.
I'm back as well. Still a lot of work on the horizon but the traveling spree has come to an end.
Right, so...hurricane coming in, so I might be gone for a couple days or more.
Also its finals week....
If I'm not around, it means I'm super busy irl getting ready.. unfortunately I might lose my prefecture but oh well.
Work's got me occupied through the week these days, so my late weekday gaming has come to an end. I'll pretty much only be able to get online in the weekends.
Guests in town until next Friday. I'll probably log in but only briefly and with a high likelihood of having to go at a moments notice.
Gonna be scarce from Thursday-Sunday.
Sooo..Broke my ankle at work yesterday. Excruciating pain, cannot drive, cannot walk, cannot work,..pretty much sucks all around. No work no pay. But...it means I have 8 weeks of unplanned downtime, so..I will be quite active I suspect for the next two months. The words loss, EFU's gain.
tLDR-back with a vengeance!
Damn, efuincarnate, that sucks!
My activity will be fluctuating a bit, life and such.
Out for the storm should be back Saturday or Sunday.
Oh. If you hadn't heard, I'm back to terrorize you.
Will be gone until Thursday!
My new work schedule means I won't be playing Sunday-Monday any more. And this upcoming week is very busy with friends and family visiting from around the country so don't expect to see a lot of me.
:(
May not be around for the immediate future, forecast is dim.
Just had a really bad death due crashing.
Probably won't be back until I fix that problem with my computer. Killed my urge to play pretty heavily.
Going on a bit of a break for now. Just haven't got the time to get properly immersed in efu. :(
Gonna be gone until next week, again, probably just remake my character when I come back.
Off on holiday until 31st October. Will have access to forums but nothing IG.
will be tumultuous for the next couple of days, might find some time one or two evenings but will not be reliably back until saturday
I'm taking a small break. Will still be slightly present for the next few days to handle Relic Guardian issues that might come up, but probably nothing else.
Have fun EfU :)
Had a good run but I think the magic is gone for me now.
Will be around now and then. Stay chill friends
I know I just came out swinging on a new PC but I'm having some internet problems. Losing 4-10,000 XP a day because my internet crashes is infuriating. EFU is hard enough without the idea that at any moment it won't matter how supplied I am or what level I am, I'm gonna end up fugued because I go non-repsonsive.
Just isn't conducive to fun. If things mellow I'll be back, else keep on rockin' EFU and I'll be on IRC for concept/plot/etc advice and help.
I should have done this weeks ago but work and other obligations kept me occupied.
Ultimately, after clearing my head I've decided that I'm done playing EfU, at least for now. Maybe one day I'll come back and I'll certainly try to linger in the IRC as I can, but I just don't feel like I'm able to commit to the required time it would take to be able to play in EfU seriously. Maybe sometime in the future time will be available to me again, but for now... I just don't have the hours without dropping prior commitments.
Thank you to those who helped with making some fun times in my return and it was good to come back older and more experienced and to see how the server had changed, but ultimately I feel like I'd be better off doing other things with what time I have to put into EfU. So thank you, and I hope to see you around.
I won't be on this weekend, visiting some friends.
On a work trip until Tuesday. Will be on sparingly. This text is for ShadowCharlatan
Taking a short break. Back next weekend. Will be around on forums/ IRC.
Hey guys, real sorry I've been MIA. Life's been really way too much for me lately and sometimes you just need a break. I'll try to get in and touch bases for a few days when I can soon, before a full month comes up. In the meantime I hope everyone's been having fun!
I had to format PC and care about University business. Will be back in a day or two.
Still figuring out the computer situation, but once that is fixed, I will be coming back in game.
unexpected life has occurred on my return to england, i will try to be active again soon but it is looking like i will have to spend at least a couple more days with no regular play
Be gone till Tuesday!
Father in Law in town and going off on business Tuesday Wednesday. No clue how much I'm gonna be on for the next 4-5 days. Sorry for everyone involved heavily with me. I will be back soon!
AFK until my internet-thingy is fixed. I hope it won't take too long.
Feels like work instead of fun, so I will take a brief Hiatus. Was attempting that when I broke my ankle, which planted me infront of a screen 24/7 damn near. I will be back when I have something of worth to contribute, instead of another bout of PC ADD. In the Immortal words of Mathew Coliville---
Peace,Out.
I'm out for the weekend.
Been coming down with something really nasty the past couple of days. Playtime will likely be minimal for a few days until it clears out of my system.
In about two weeks time I will be returning properly with Bunwhal. Had a good break and I'm looking forward to getting balls deep back into Efu! I'll be on here and there before then.
I'll be taking a break for the next week or so. Life is in the way of fun. Still be around chat though.
I'll be leaving for Warsaw on Thursday and after poland I'll be in Japan until mid-december.
Until Thursday i'll do my best to be around for plots and business,
After a blackout day Thursday from travel I'll still have 100% forum access and will be active for all kinds of plotting, scheming, etc though such means. I don't have the ability to use forum PMs since my account busted but I"ll try to stay abreast of all matters in the public threads and otherwise.
Can't really find anything appealing for me right now on EFU. Going to play some EQ progression server for a bit. Can hit me up on the forums.
Real life kicking my ass and my time at the moment. Still around, but not much time for EFU.
I am back.
I'm getting absolutely annihaliated by work. Will be around as I can, but it won't be much.
Officially out from EFU for globetrotting. 1-2 days I'll be away due to timechange and travel time. Leave word in the HoG forum or IC letter forums to stay in touch!
Can't get IG over the next month but i'll stay involved and help out as best I can with daily forum spam of all kinds.
Been a death in the family, so I'm going to be scarce IG for a bit. Will still be on IRC here and there if needed.
I hope everything is as good as it can be, Blue. I'll keep you and your people in my thoughts. Stay good. :(
I am again abroad this weekend. Be back Monday.
I'm gonna take it real easy for the next couple of days. Imrahl zoned out at the end of last night's event because I failed a constitution save against food poisoning.
After having destroyed my laptop, I have a new one now so am back.
Work is kicking my butt, I will be back in a few days
Worked out I'd been averaging 4 1/2 hours every day for the past 6 months on one character, I'll tidy up a couple things when I get back from work & take a break from EFU for a fair while. I've been known to go a bit weird at this point on other RP servers in the past.
Apologies for any IC/OOC oddities in the past week and thankyou everyone in the EFU community, players and DMs alike for making my experience awesome, scary and everything in-between. Will let you know when I'm back properly.
Gone until Monday
I play Walter Fontaine. I am moving tomorrow and will be offline until I'm into new apartment and establish internet connection. I expect to return in about two weeks.
I am moving in a new flat and running another experiment. Hellish week ahead for me.
Just finished a big project which means I am back!
Contrary to no doubt expected sentiments, I LIVE.
My apologies for an unexpected absence, I was lost to the various demands of real life and whenever I had that fleeting thought of my memories of EFU and my desire to return to Sanctuary and its many intrigues, it was so swiftly cast aside as the next thing came along - that whimsical desire forgotten so quickly that I hadn't even gazed upon these forums for the longest time. Until now.
I can't guarantee I'll be active, but I'll appear from time to time and contribute to the many tales unfolding before us, where I can--not least of all that of my own character. Aiming for quality over quantity, perhaps simply because I can't manage the latter.
It's ever a delight engaging with this community of creative folks and I look forward to spending some time with you all again.
I've successfully flown around the entire planet. Over the atlantic to Warsaw then onto Tokyo, and after 30 days in Tokyo flown back to the US over the pacific.
I'm back in action and 100% I"ll have more news at the start of January.
Will be leaving town for family holiday stuff on Thursday and won't be back until the 26th. Grab me before then if you need Zaresh for something.
Probably won't be on for the next couple weeks due to the holidays.
Goin to Texas, so I won't be around for the next few days!
I did say I would be back and on more often a few weeks ago, but work picked up unexpectedly. I will return likely after Christmas, but not as much as I expected.
I'm going to be slooooooowly easing myself back into the server, so probably no Snaek Squire for now. Instead, Goblin Gangster, seen here in his natural habitat...
(http://i.imgur.com/zh4kYNY.png)
I'll be back here and there, but I don't want to commit to the insane hours I was doing before. Will be playing on a very casual basis, chilling and doing my own thing.
Not going to be able to log in much until the holidays are over because of family and work. Give me until the 27th and I should be back around.
I'm taking RwG|Concept into the real world. January 3rd I'm driving cross country from Chicago to Hollywood for a 10 week studio position doing storyboarding, animatics, and front end development for production.
If everything goes as I hope, I'll be moved in on January 7th and able to have plenty of time for EFU and even a more stable playtime than my old school schedule and back on my Prefect doing more conquest and expansion in the Underdark.
However things may go sidesways and I turn into a straight up ghost for three months but I'll try to hop on by IRC now and then. Either way keep on rocking and if I do ghost I'll be back around St. Patrick's day.
Keep on rockin' EFU and thanks for letting me cultivate 50,000 goofy characters, 11,518 forum posts, and only a handful of ragequits.
Out of state until Sunday
My efu binge comes to an end. Work starting and I'll be about but not as late as I was all week.
My efu binge comes to an end. Work starting and I'll be about but not as late as I was all week.
Will be on a bit less over the next few weeks.
Been gone much longer than anticipated and not sure when I'll be returning. Hopefully next weekend.
Starting tomorrow will be busy elsewhere and will have some RL stuff to take care of in a week or so anyway so I will likely be around much less for a while, PM me on irc or on the forums if you need me for something.
Out for the weekend, most likely.
Away for 1 week.
I have a deadline of doom ahead of me. One more week to go.
Turinc Ugirim is gone 1 - 2 weeks, moving houses and starting a new job.
Works starting to pick up again, I won't be able to hop on much for a while.
I am currently stuck out of game, as my internet hadbeen down for 3 days. Durlin is mourning.
I was having fun at first playing an RSD but now I just can't seem to catch a break. Wanted this character to get strong enough so I could participate in some DM events but just kept encountering the stupidest bad luck imaginable. Coupled with the fact that I seem to be more interested in playing the game for the game instead of to tell or participate in a story (the latter keeps getting me killed) and... yeah think its better I just take a break from NWN for a while again and think about if I should continue this guy and which direction I want to take him.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]n671818[/ATTACH]
The RP has been fun as always though, will let you know when I'm up for playing again. Thanks EFU.
Thankfully internet is back up, and I'm on a roll. See y'all in game!
Going to be a bit intermittent for a while, until I stop getting ideas for my dedPC and start getting ideas for new things, be they my current experiment or something else.
I'm bowing out of EFU for a while. Not feeling quite the same player I was a month or two ago. Probably be around IRC, but not IG.
Good luck, keep rocking.
Starting next week, I will have less time than the past week (as I was on sick leave from work), but I'll probably be online as much as I can as you are just rocking my socks off, EFU!
Been a bit busy lately, but I should be back IG starting next week
My motivation to get involved in the current events is not all of that lately. I'll be a bit sparser than my regular binge time for a day or five.
I've been busy with work, and stuck in traffic with the snow and cold weather. I'm a bit busy the next couple days too, but should be on maybe Saturday or Sunday. Failing that, Monday.
Will be gone this weekend.
Won't be on much for the next week.
Life got busy, as it does. Have not been ingame, but I hope to make a return this spring. Roll out dem dorf plots! or..a gnome..gnomes are cute. I am keeping on eye efu via boards and irc tho! See you maybe in March?
New Job, Need to take some time off to settle that..
I'll be back when I'm back... hopefully not too long
Our thoughts are with you RwG
Due to some RL issues with school my time with EFU will be light these coming weeks. If you need to contact me I will be on IRC most of the time.
I remembered that February has 28 days, and I have a deadline on the 1st of March. I won't be gone, but I'll definitely be playing less than usual.
gone till Sunday evening or Monday
Just applied to return as Hadley Ableton. Hopefully that works out, but if it doesn't I still plan on returning in some capacity. Life has mellowed out a bit.
My internet is down until Friday. It sucks.
Unexpected sudden trip, back next week!
Will be gone all week! :)
I am feeling the need for a prolonged break. Shoot me a PM if you want to interact, or go through the "usual channels" if you want a quest hand. Otherwise I'll be scarce.
Aight, time for round 23432 or whatever this is. I'll be around on a more regular basis.
Finished up my contract so done out here in LA. Moving and Driving this weekend back to Chicago so I'll be MIA for 4-5 days.
So I moved and the internet was worse than I expected. I expected horribly limited. Turns out it's "None" instead. Needless to say playing will be spotty at the best of times for the foreseeable future.
I feel as though, it's time for another extended break, a real one this time.
My return to EfU was a pleasant surprise, as I had the fortune to chance upon a moment of time where interesting things were done by interesting characters. Lately however, I can't shake off the persistent feeling that I've seen all there is to see of the server. It's a huge module, yet only a small portion of it is actually playable, and only if one is willing to become a bland DM faction politician. Unfortunately these seem to be a fair share of the DM supported driving forces, a support without which there is really very little to do in the server, and very little real space to attempt to do things in. EfU has felt as though a confusing, dull, gratuitous slog for sometime now, and neither the plots nor the PCs ostensibly driving them have done a good job of captivating me.
I will not lie and say this new tour was entirely devoid of enjoyment, and I thank everyone who actually took the time and effort to go beyond spewing the contents of their PCN at my screen, or just dug for retarded excuses to engage in PvP (which is not to say I did not have a good amount of pleasant PvP encounters, many of which I lost!). You were awesome, and I thank you for the good times we had. I won't fall into the trap of saying I'm gone forever this time, but I do feel ... strongly disinclined to return at the moment, and I believe this sentiment will persist for some time.

I've never had the displeasure of interacting with you, but this kind of attitude towards players who most likely did the best their experience allowed to interact with you is frankly disgusting. Stay gone and please keep the leaving posts to "I'm leaving" and not turn it into a yelp tier community review thread.
It is sad to hear you say that Golgo. Players do the best they can to involve others and have good interactions. If you felt they were lackluster you should keep that between you and the player and provide a constructive criticism to make them better.
It leaves a bad taste in my mouth for trying to involve you in the story with the Wraith.
I have applied a permanent ban to your CDkey to facilitate your exodus to a roleplaying community that meets your """high""" standards of excellence (though I would suggest that you will have a good deal of trouble finding a community that welcomes individuals who: make death threats to other players, evade bans, and generally behave like an adolescent in the throes of a parental divorce.)
Enjoy your break.
Take care Golgo, I enjoyed our brief interactions, your characters seemed more real & involved in things than mine and your efforts were sincerely appreciated in livening up EFU for me anyway.
Quote from: Kinslayer988;n674102It leaves a bad taste in my mouth for trying to involve you in the story with the Wraith.
I remember speaking with Golgo about those events and while it is not the goal of this forum I can safely tell they were satisfactory for all those involved.
I will probably be somewhat less present in EFU for a while starting tomorrow, gotta get my Mass Effect on.
It will be another couple weeks, sorry to anyone I was playing with, thanks for the great time, hopefully be back sooner rather then later?
I am going to be focusing on some other projects as I wrap up my last semester at school, so my play time will be rather limited for a little bit.
Mom's in the ICU, I'll be out of town for a few days to an undetermined time, I'll probably miss out on prelude/concepting I had in the works with people currently unless this goes miraculously well.
Best wishes to her, hope she gets well soon Vlaid.
Hope she's okay, Vlaid. =[
I am back now, for those wondering everything is "ok", she is in recovery now. I'll save turning this into a blog about my personal life so if you are really curious you can PM me.
Moving out this weekend. I am going to be scant for a little bit. I'll be back fresh and ready.
I have returned, currently masquerading as a gnome. And holy shit they made Vlaid a DM while I was gone! Hoooray Vlaid!
I am very very ill right now, and it's interfering with EfU, work, school, and moving. I'm checking my IRC and the forums here and there, but if I log in, chances are I'll be logging out 5-10 minutes later to go puke.
Cheers!
Feeling rather burned out at the moment. I'm afraid I have to take a break. But keep on rocking, EfU!
Out until the weekend
I am back, limited but back in action for a time.
I'll be taking a break.
Have family over for the week; play times will be reduced.
I'm not bailing, I've just been busy this past weekend. As typically a weekend player, it feels like taking one weekend off delays things so much!
I've been busy RL and can't fit EFU time in. Hope to be back soon!
-Kin
My company has recently made an adjustment to its contract with AT&T, and I'll be working late nights for the next five or seven weeks to make sure the transition goes well. Afterward, I will probably return to my usual schedule.
Starting Tuesday, Asathiel's daily hours of activity will be between 10:00 and 14:00, Pacific Standard Time.
And I will be available to my heart's content on weekends.
Need to disconnect from this for a bit.
I want to heart to heart with you all a moment. In January of this year my brother passed away, and it pretty much destroyed my world. I created Amelia with the intention of escaping into a bit of fantasy and ignoring my crippling depression. The fact is that it helped a lot, and I want to thank everyone here for providing a great place to explore and vent some of my hopelessness.
The world is fucking shit. It's pointless and it ends in misery. Much like our characters really. We keeping running through the same hoops, clawing and gasping for just a little air. Every once in a blue moon something nice will happen, and we will forget our mortality. Some of the best memories of my life are in this stupid fucking game. I'm not sure whether to be thankful for that, or to break down at its absurdity.
I love you all dearly, but I need face myself in the mirror awhile. My beard is long, I don't recognize who I am. I need some time to figure that out before returning to my escape. Might be a few months, maybe longer. I'll drop by now and again to let you know I'm OK, even when it's clearly a lie. Stay awesome for now.
Quote from: PanamaLane;n677192Some of the best memories of my life are in this stupid fucking game.
I believe this is what makes us bond. No matter our past, where we come from or how we have arrived to nwn, this is the one thing that makes it possible a game of like 17 years is still up and running. I can't say I have ever experienced in my life anything as remotely devastating as what you have recently gone through, but I too must say that, as absurd as it is, I have in this game memories that rival in beauty with the events of my life.
But as you said, other things come first. You have my best wishes for the enormously challenging endeavor that you are about to undertake and I sincerely hope that you will one day manage to find something that can make you smile again. Endure, don't give up, and if at any moment you'll find that you cannot muster the strength to pull through, drop by, share some moments with us. You are always welcome!
Depression is one tough as nails beast to live with. Know that you are not alone with your experience and if there is a group therapy nearby I know it helped me drastically when I was at my worst. I applaud you for your strength to do what you must to make yourself happy, and know that you will be sorely missed. I have found your characters over the years to be some of my favorites. Always extending a hand and letting others in to this fantastical virtual world. The fond memories you have from this game are experiences of themselves. Unique ones that few can brag about (or understand in the case of efu).
May you succeed in all of your endeavors while away. I would love to hear of them if you come back for a visit :)
Hello EFU, AllMYBudgies here.
I'm back around, but I've not returned in a DMing capacity. I had an amazing few years with some fond memories of my time DMing and thank you all for all the amazing storytelling I was privy to because of the opportunity. I had a great time but I have returned to play, and would thank you all for not inundating me with DM related pm's and loot requests anymore!
See you all in game!
Awesome. Great to see a former DM return as a player AMB. See you in game! (soon, that is. I myself am not active yet).
Gone for the weekend!
Real life has been very busy lately, and I don't feel like I've had enough time to properly play Jim, so I'm going to retire him. I should be back in a while though, once work is less busy and things calm down a bit,
The exile faction is really fun, and so was everyone involved. =]
Im taking a break.
^ same bye guys.
I hope this didn't happen this way to you two, kind of a crap way to go.
I'm going on the move to some interesting places for some chunks of the summer and will have reduced availability in the world of EFU. I imagine I'll still be popping around as I can and of course feel free to PM me on the forums!
Making a pretty big move soon that I'm just completely, bundle of stress, focused on, that has kinda put all my fun on hold. So probably won't be around much before the move and definitely won't be around after until I'm settled in. If you need me to log in for some crazy reason or just wanna chit chat I'll be around IRC and the forums still. :3
Sorry I haven't been around much on Derek lately, been busy preparing for a trip, and i'm finally heading off on it tomorrow morning, I'll be back Monday, then i'll be active again!
Finally put on my big boy pants and bought a house. Moving over the next week or so, might be on late night PST. You will have to continue to Embrace Adventures Call without Mogrim for a bit. Back regularly after Tuesday? I hope, if all goes well. I overlapped Internet Service both old and new places, but with moving and working all at once, not alot of game time left in that schedule.
Hello everyone. I just wanted to say thank you all for understanding and I greatly appreciate those that reached out to me with kind words and sympathy. Things have been tough, but I do have friends and family who are there for me. I include this community among those I know I can rely upon for friendship and I hope you know the respect and empathy is very much reciprocated. I will still be on an extended break from the game, but I will return in time. Thank you again, have fun and don't burn down the server without me.
Taking a small break to recharge my creative batteries,
I will no longer be available to contact through the #EFU IRC channel. If you need to get in touch, you may still PM me via the forums or via IRC.
Back from my vacation! Derek will be seen around again ^_^ had a great time now im ready to get rolling on efu again
Move complete, schedule stabilized. The adventures shall continue tonight!
I will not be around as often as I'd like for the next couple of weeks. Work has intensified ontop of a fellow coworker falling under intense medical issues.
I apologize to anyone this may have already or will effect. I'll try to pop in as much as I can and look forward to resuming my usual playtime.
Go get'em tiger!
At a wedding and will be away for a couple days.
Think I'm going to take a break of indeterminate length. Rock on, efu.
My grandma passed away about a week ago so I wasn't around much since. RL a bit hectic right now but I hope stuff will calm down until July. And as the post above, rock on, efu!
I'm sorry. Grandma's are awesome. Come back soon.
I am going to be gone starting Tuesday the 13th and returning again Tuesday the 20th.
My playtime is probably going to be a bit reduced for the week due to several work and family things that are coming up.
Going to be doing a family thing up north for the next day or two. Hopefully I'll be back in time for all this council stuff.
Hey friends,
Much as I love you all, gonna have to take a break for an indeterminate period of time. Gotta get my work life in order.
Much love,
Varagan
Life kicked in at an inoportune time. Taking a short break. Ill be back.
Shafow
Gone for a week or so, put off moving for long enough, if needed shoot me message on the forums! :)
I will be away for the weekend, but consider me back.
I'm away from my computer until Monday, If you need me while I'm gone then consider this an exciting lesson in independence.
I'll be gone for most of today and Sunday.
Handling some health issues will be out of commission for a few days. Keep on rocking :)
Get well soon
Going to be in an out over the holiday. Enjoy the vacation time, everyone.
I'm out on a vacation. Gnobagasee will not be around much until July 10th.
Will be taking a break to play some Project 1999 EQ, recent death has left an extremely sour taste in my mouth.
Going on holiday for two weeks. (Character is Gudrun Eskilsdotir.)
My play times during the week have unfortunately been pretty severely cut down due to work obligations. I might be more available during weekends.
It's probably worth mentioning that I'm "back", but my availability is impacted heavily by work. I tend to wake up early and stay up late if fun stuff happens though.
And for the next 4 weeks my saturday/sundays are totally empty.
Well appears my surge protector didn't do it's job so my computer is acting up to the point I suspect that I think the hard drive is damaged. So I will be gone from EFU IG wise unless my computer fixes itself miraculously overnight. (Appears it's happened to some people, here is hoping.) Otherwise I will be on forums.
I have a personal issue that is going to see me out of the loop until early next week.
Good news, my computer is working again.I had to format it but I should be IG again soon!
Will need to step out until I figure out why I'm disconnected from EFU every 10-15 minutes. See you soon friends :)
VP I had that problem, recently. http://www.efupw.com/forums/forum/main-forums/general-discussion/676818-tech-help-constant-crashing-since-server-migration Thought it was the server. Gracken fixed it. He can fix anything. Just ask him. HE will tell you.
It's part of his strategy to keep conflict-rousers away from him while he plays. His cowardice truly knows no bound... :-)
Started a job that has me working crazy hours and cuts down my fun time drastically. I'll probably be back in a month or so once it's over. Still haven't even got to computer set up at the new place!
Hope to play again soon!
Between RL and Mass Effect Andromeda eating most of my time not around too much this week.
Still hope to play Khorin and do some shady business but for now he's "away on contract" across the Underdark.
RL's been holding me back. Ssslaag will be sneaking around again tonight or tomorrow.
'course real life is getting busy just when things are heating up ingame. I will be earning a living til about 7-9pm PST during the week next two weeks. If someone needs me outside of the night PST playtime, shoot me a PM here or shout at me in irc if you see me loged in, ...if I can be there (For Oh..I don't know, use your imaginations! :P) I will be.
Life is busy right now with a transition at work, but it will clear up soon. I won't be online as much during my work days, or be able to forum warrior as effectively from the office, but I'll be around on my days off.
I should be back to my regular schedule in a week or two.
Apologies I haven't been on for a while to anyone that was missing me (maybe only just Sem :P), after Cyrus was detonated by extreme explosives & consequently retired I haven't come up with anything I can think of worth playing that'll offer a unique experience.
Feel free to PM me ideas if you need someone in the awkward weekly timeslot of 5-11pm GMT +12/13 though.
Taking a break. EFU's way too mentally exhausting and I'm too easily annoyed by the gamerman behavior I've been seeing.
Internet is down for a day or two and might not be back for a few days. Shouldn't be later than friday morning when I get my first paycheck at most, but should be back around 7 am tomorrow morning if things go well.
Turns out if you brow beat the right people carefully and say "I'm working a 9 hour shift and coming home with no internet sucks balls" they will pay the bill without even telling giving you problems.
Might take a day or two off. Having four people log after your spice might indicate that whatever you did was poorly conceived.
Grand mothers in town for a visit, won't be on until she's gone. (Sunday)
Been scarce, will continue to do so..work. Back when time permits.
Starting a new game project, won't be back for a few months. Rock on EFU!
On vacation for a few days
Going on an alaskan cruise, be back in a couple weeks
Tentatively back.
Please tentatively celebrate.
Trying to get the mindset to come back,
So yes, just like RPG... Tentatively back... Going to take a leaf out of a post I just read, Creating a character on a whim with no preconcieved thoughts.
I'll either be back after GenCon or retired.
Working everyday until September while jobs overlap. Will be around a lot more once I'm settled into the primary job and the secondary one phases out.
Due to burnout and decreased playtimes I'll be taking an extended break from EFU.
Back, after an unplanned lapse in playtime over the past 2-3 months.
Now playing from EST following a recent cross-country move!
Out of town on a family vacation for a week. Assume that Mal is doing some combination of drinking, whoremongering, and small time mercin'.
See you all next week!
Halabad won't be around much tonight (Thursday) nor tomorrow (Friday), and not at all on Saturday or Sunday; Possibly he'll be around Monday night.
I wont be arround for the next cupple of days. I might jump onto irc if i get the chance.
After tomorrow mid day I'll be out until Monday? Depending on the weather. Hunkering down for this hurricane. Wish me luck! ;)
Stay safe!
Whew intense but back. ;)
Going to be mostly gone until wednesday
gone until monday
blame nezgul, thx
out for a week maybe longer as I start Uni
Hey guys. Back after a brief absence. How you all doing?
I've got family coming into town, so Halabad won't be around this coming weekend (Friday through Sunday) presuming he's even still alive by the end of the week.
mentally exhausted. probably out for a bit
Also stepping back for about a week to handle school stuff
an extension on my previous outage, I set up for uni still
Nunulrarh is off in the 'dark for a few more days.
Hey folks!
I played around in EfU for a while and had to drop off the grid a few months back. I'm back now, portraying Glenn Harrows, gladiator-turned-hero. Feel free to say hi if you remember, or even if you just don't hate my RP!
Out for the weekend going back 'home' for some reunions.
Getting bogged down with school and work, will be around Tues and Thurs then gone until next Mon. After that my schedule should be better, but Oct will be a wonky month.
This server community really is not what it used to be and has turned into OOC cliques and utter garbage. I have no plans of coming back and quite honestly I"m pretty sure the community does not want me around/back. I literally make a character soul goal support a faction and crush its foes the most basic of IG motivations/goals. Hilarious enough most sides/factions taken simply screwed me over. I've never seen factions/PCS so dedicated to undermining their own goals to the point of even openly joining rival factions with zero repercussions. OOC tells/buffbots/questing/BS is overtaking the server. This is a PVE slash/grind server intrigue and plots taking backseats. I used to prefer EFU its plot and storyline to RL. Now RL has become better than EFU. To everyone on this server enjoy the current state of things I am done stirring the pot/rocking the boat. Have an awesome time racking up the DM loot handed out like candy and other "perks."
DMS that no longer can even control NPCS/have them battle. (A certain bout of mass PVP has made me consider that lairs are in fact useless.} Or faction areas utterly invaded/trashed insanely easily. NPCS holding their own are a thing of the past. I remember the days when Core playing John Keel at his height almost got his ass handed to him by two watcher private NPCS controlled by DMS who knew what they where doing. This isn't a ragequit this is a quit quit. Theres nothing I can do to fix this server or its broken practices/absurd factions/new direction. Peace out EFU.

This is gonna be deleted, buuut.. While I can agree to some of the things you're saying, it's always inherently harder to do intrigue than PvE grinding in preparation for PvP lolcrushing. There's a lot of things that can go wrong in both, but the former, as we both experienced recently, can have far more lethal repercussions. Neither are the factions, from what I've seen, small and self-contained brotherhoods. They're sprawling messes held up by fundamentals, containing both PCs and NPCs that would be at each others' throats in any other circumstance. It's a bit silly to do hamfisted intrigue and expect nothing but a pile of bricks raining from every direction, especially from the faction whose goals you're ultimately undermining.
I've had to look into getting nwn again so you should see me IG soon
I think I'm going to take a few days off. Between life getting in the way and my new PC being so drastically different than the fomer (RIP Summon Creature I spam >_<) as well as a string of questing misfortune.. morale ain't so high right now.
Stepping away for a fortnight.
Tried playing again, but just doesn't stick with me anymore. See ya guys, possibly back some day!
Work has me quite busy. I should be back soon though.
Been pretty busy with work and life but maybe have some time now?
Sadly, due to work and vacation(not as sad) Vrix, will be absent from our server from Tuesday, 10th of October til the 23rd of October. Gnomes may breath easy during this respite. It WILL not last! :)
Quote from: Certified Retrievals;n681694Also stepping back for about a week to handle school stuff
I didn't actually do this three weeks ago and now i really need to. I'm cutting out EFU altogether until I get my stuff in order. I hope to be back within about two weeks. If I've left anything or anyone hanging, it's unintentional and I apologize. Dyn's tried to put her affairs in order in the meantime for an extended absence.
jk i had an idea for a cool char. I'm back baybeee
Hey folks! I was just enjoying an unplanned hiatus. Lookin forward to diving back in soon!
Quote from: ErrantryWar;n682937Work has me quite busy. I should be back soon though.
Aaaaand i've severed tendons in some fingers on my left hand at work. I can't really do EFU with one hand so I'm out for 4 weeks until the cast is off.
Kind of feeling burned out so I am taking a break. Not sure how long it will be but I expect I will be back. You guys take care and keep EfU rockin'.
Spring cleaning has come late! I am in the process of preparing my house for an exterminator, and so for the next few days my playtime is probably going to be heavily impacted. I will still be able to get on later in the evenings, and I will maintain a forum presence. Hopefully it will be relatively brief!
My playtimes are terrible. For anyone hunting my PC down, or looking to interact with him they are:
Tuesday through Saturday
Usually 8am-12pm EST GMT -4
Sometimes 6pm-10pm EST GMT -4
Sunday and Monday
9pm-9am EST GMT -4
The constant fugueings are burning me out. I'll be gone log in intermitently for a few days to recharge my batteries.
I've been recovering from a night of drinking with Wanch for a few days, but I'll be back at it starting tomorrow.
I'll be in and out for the next few days for school. My appended scheduled, which may and probably will change :
Monday - Busy ( School / Work )
Tuesday - Morning's free, Afternoons busy (School)
Wednesday - Busy ( School / Work )
Thursday - Morning's free, Afternoons busy ( School )
Friday - Busy ( Work )
I'll try to be on when i'm free, but life sucks sometimes. Contact me if you (gods know why) want to meet with Molly about... anything.
Cheers!
RAWRRZZZZ! Back from my brief hiatus, the gnomenation should once again tremble as their doom is upon them!
Heat wave kilt computer, but I fixed! (Thanks Diz-E for the advice, it worked). Really back now..
Life getting harder, and with it play times becoming more erratic in the near future.
Dealing with heavy RL stuff. I won't be active in IRC or IG for a week (possibly two). Those who were heavily involved in my plots, I will talk to you via PMs.

Take your time, man. We'll set off those Freedom Square klaxons while you're away. :)
Lars won't be in-game from Friday, October 27th to Tuesday, October 31st. He might be back on Wednesday, November 1st. He might have some forum presence. Sorry ladies!
I won't be playing until after November 12th. See ya then!
Having a child today, so my play time will be extremely diminished for the next say... ten years? Haha, I will get on if ever I have the time. Till then.. =]
Gloinar
Congrats dude!
Gloinar was playing??? There goes my chance to murder a gloinar PC. Congratz on the son man!
Whoops! I wasn't done with my vacation from life after all. Things are starting back up for me, which means I should be able to make good on a return soon... hope my PC's friends, associates, and enemies are still intact... ish! :D
Breaking from EFU for a time. Suicide ran Wally into custody. Sorry for those interested in him. Just get extremely stale for a long period.

You break my heart in many ways..
For whatever reason, I've no longer felt it necessary or exciting to return to play for the time being.
Work is really going to keep me busy through Thanksgiving. I'll be around, but not as often as usual.
Work stuff for me as well over the next two weeks so I'm not really around until then, but hopefully will be able to hop on during the weekend.
Work and life and stuff, prob only around weekends for sure. IF you need him for anything, hit me up on IRC or PM me on the forums here, and I can probably sort out a time to be ingame, if not the usual Sat/Sun stuff.
Taking a three day break - starting to really no enjoy being encumbered all the time and dropping to level 4 every 2 days.
basically gone for the next three days!
Enjoy your bounty-centric riveting gameplay. I'll be away for the foreseeable future.
Things are lightening up a bit. I'll be around more.
Lars probably won't be around quite as much until around Monday November 27th (visiting the folks for the holiday).
My computer kicked the bucket so I probably won't be back for a while. Hope everyone has a fantastic holiday season and a happy new year!!!
Vanilla cola and laptops don't mix, I'll be out of commission until I can find someone to fix / recover my computer.
It ah... Keeps trying to turn on by itself, display has disco-coloured arcs on the log-in screen and the keys are, of course, sticking.
Suppose I was due for a new laptop anyway... Got the thing seven or so years ago and it's been keeping up with games like Doom 3D, dishonoured, Hunted, Halo 2 etc. Been a good run.
I guess for now consider Blake Colton locked in Dhimani's cellar for experimenting with his Engineer suit?
Also, Wench, the feels!
Reduced play time (again) until after Thanksgiving.
I've been out due to some unexpected upswing in RL activity! Apologies for anyone who's needed me; I should have some playtime on my hands again soon.
Just an update on how I'm going, laptop decided to turn on after two tries with the battery removed, keyboard is locked/bugged out but with a USB keyboard I bought for my PS4 a while back I was able to log in, currently transferring the important stuff (NWN and backups of my Microsoft access programs I wrote for work) so as long as the laptop stays on for long enough, should be able to jump right back in with a new laptop.
And for anyone immediately worried that the cooling fan will drag in dust into my laptop and get stuck to all the sugarycoke residue, don't worry, fan crapped out over a year ago >.>

I'll put some bandaids on it for comic relief and attach the pic to this post when I get home...
Also it's been my trusted companion for many years so please don't call it names, kthxbye.

Quote from: ErrantryWar;n683091Aaaaand i've severed tendons in some fingers on my left hand at work. I can't really do EFU with one hand so I'm out for 4 weeks until the cast is off.
Took longer than anticipated, but the cast is off. Physio has been good. I've got enough use in my fingers that I can play efu again. See you all in game.
I know no one is missing me because I'm not playing a classy character at the moment :P however, my new companion came in the mail at work. Making use of the high-speed internet here to update it before I take it home, so I'll be be back IG soon, and $3511.40 NZD lighter.

And don't spill soda on this one!
Hey, guys.
Sorry to do this now, but this whole week is actually moving week for me. I won't be available IG for more than maybe an hour at a time most days. Exceptions are Wednesday, and possibly Saturday after 12pm EST.
Things should resume some normalcy on Monday.
Aless is probably somewhere quiet wondering why people are so heartless.

Have fun, and I don't see anything wrong for a having a quality time with yourself. Enjoy!
Finals snuck up on me! Going to be spending the next two weeks out of game to focus on schooling. If you need to contact me I will be on irc. I however will not be logging in to NWN.
I am also heading into a cram with work before the holidays hit. I'll be around, but not as active as before.

Big move is done and now it's just a game of catchup at work.
Unfortunately,
My dog saw fit to pee on my modem and managed to fry it completely. I'm utterly baffled.
It's going to be another "3-5 business days."
>_>
And I'm back!!!
Taking a few days off!
Gone from the 8th to the 15th!
I'm in california until sunday, hanging with fam and funeral of grandma...
I'll still be around ish, just much less.
I have some personal things going on IRL, so I'll be stepping back for a few days to sort those out.

Hey bud, just to let you know, we all miss you and hope to see you back soon.

Gonna be gone from tomorrow to thursday evening, visiting a friend.
im back, just had to spend a few days with the fam
Tentatively back while I get back into the swing of things.

testing nested quotes but also indicating well-meaning concern for nezgul's well-being
nested quotes work again! huzzah!
Really do not care for much of anything going on, tired of fuguing and farming potions at stupidly late times of the night. I'll be gone until the "war" is over or just be screwing around with mute alts.

I hope everything is okay come back soon Nezgul we miss you
I'm going to be out for roughly two weeks. Will check in every now and then. If you need to reach me, shoot me a PM.
Playtimes have been scant/sporadic for a bit with holidays upcoming, but I should be around a bit more!
Feel free to drop me a PM if you need me. ;)
Being shit on IC for OOC stuff is a mood killer so taking a long term break.

Try having lvl 10 druids brought back or a PC killing you for something that happened on your last PC! I feel your pain.
Heading home for Christmas, out until Tuesday night, but still up for some light forum work.
Won't be around much for the next couple days due to the holidays. I'll peep in on the forums though.
Take care everyone and have a happy holiday season for whatever you may celebrate! <3
Goin to France for a week or so. Be back and rockin afterwards.
Suffering some computer internet issues, im hoping to get them resolved soon, but I'm gonna hold off until after I celebrate Christmas with the fam before I play more, might be on later Christmas day. Happy holidays everyone!
Going to be playing less due to the family being up for the holidays
Going to be gone until a bit after new years. Hope you all have/had a happy holidays
I won't be online much if at all until January 2nd. Happy new year!
-gracken
My hours just got flipped at work and am having a hell of a time adjusting so I haven't been doing much of anything, let alone playing EFU. As a result I probably won't be on as much as I'd like until next week sometime. I'll still be able to answer letters and such and can also still log in for a bit if you catch me at the right time.
I'm back from vacation and will be around more.
I'll be back in a couple days, sorry for leaving anyone hanging. Good news though, I have Saturday nights free now! Wooooooot!
Well everyone, the ride was fun! I'd planned Calin Kross to be my last character for a long while, will probably come back once I buy and catch up on other games I'd been putting off to the side. I hope that my death was at least entertaining and enriching (metaphorically and literally) for everyone involved, and that will be that.
This isn't a rage quit post, just so you know, I'd already told peops in IRC this would be my last character for a while, and I will be back! Probably! Just not for an indeterminate amount of time. I'll sort out the obituary shortly but it won't be that big on screenshots, feel free to post your own screenshots of conversations/fights etc you had with this guy, it'd be appreciated to look over the forums while I'm at work.
Will be gone most of the weekend. I'll be around IRC and the forums.
Not leaving but work starts today and transportation makes my availability a turn on its head, will be playing still - just much later
Work is kicking into high gear. I'll be around as I can.
im back in pog form
rdy for ch. 4
rdy for human female head 01 and innocent idealist voice set
rdy to polarize d community
I was playing under an alt recently cause the games I wanted to play ended up being basic arcade style and I was having difficulty with the controls (Tekken 6 is much easier than Dissidia NT and Dragonball FighterZ lol)
Haven't been on lately because I've been feeling rather nauseous with a persistent headache & eyestrain, and when I was playing a mobile game I couldn't remember the order of a six-digit number lol so my short-term memory is being screwy as well. Will let you know when I'm back.
I'm still around but my playtime will be a bit infrequent/inconsistent until the end of the weekend due to scheduling nonsense at work
Some sudden medical issues have taken me off the grid for the next couple days to a week.
EDIT: Feeling much better, still won't be on. But good enough to goof and gaf.
I am out for a few days for work.
Busy with work for the rest of the day and then I will return IG.
Work has me busy for the next week or so as I finish up overseas and prepare to head home. I'll be scarce, but around.
I have been out for a while, and will likely be out for at least the next two weeks. Hopefully I'll have some intermittent playing time, though.
I'll be out Wednesday and Thursday
Work has my world on fire again.
Been a bit hectic on my end, probably be back around by Thursday with short sprinkles in play time in between.
I'll be out for at least the weekend.
Yeah I'll be gone until Tuesday again. My weekends are becoming Wed-Thurs.
My trip plans fell through so I guess I will continue to torture you all with my presence.
Advanced notice that March 7th-11th I'll be in Austin, Texas for SXSW so I won't be around. Plenty of playtime leading up to that! Just won't be available for that

Took a little longer than expected to get out of country and make my return home. But I made it. Time to efu.
Patch notes:
-Damage reduced on "Witty Retort"; this is intended to be more of a roleplaying aid and not a tool for winning PvP encounters.
-Added OnHit: Wounding Whispers item property to creature skin.
-Increased total work hours (+50); as a result, connection will be sporadic as best for the next several weeks.
I've been extremely busy this week and will be for most of the next one, then going out of town next weekend for Final Round. So other than watching the forums, I'll be extremely scarce until the 19th. Fortunately it's all for positive reasons, so I'm looking forward to a little hiatus. See y'all soon!
With the switch to EE and RL things I'll be stepping back from EFU for now. I'll be on IRC but will not be playing. Hope to read some great screen shot threads and journals!!
Working in the Coal Mines of Magnatz the Red has given me the Black Lung, so this goblin is gonna be out for a few days. Hope to be back by Tuesdayish if not earlier.
Chest colds are the worse, I'd kill for a Cure disease right now.
It was fun at first to play a struggling adventurer but it was also depressing because it wasn't by choice. I'll take a break for a bit since all my apps fail so there's literally nothing new left I can try out. It's been fun helping everyone out with their own special plots and stuff though.
Another time, then, maybe. A proper obit for Rift would be too sad.
Heh, scratch that.
Taking a short break for entirely dumb and selfish reasons.
I will be back with renewed enthusiasm soon enough.
Visiting family for the week+Easter, will be available if necessary though! Cheers!
Efuincarnate here, been gone so long, could not remember the password for the forums, and only my Falgrim handle seems to be related to my email addy..anyhow, life seems to be allowing me a bit of free time this spring, and will be returning to our beloved server soon! Just grabbed Beamdogs NwNEE, looking forward to seeing all of you there very soon!!
Seems I'm having issues with using the Steam app on my laptop, and can't seem to recover my previous account, so once the switch happens I won't be around until I get all that sorted.
Halfbrood fixed me, I am officially returned. New PC for a new server..
(need a good henchmen? Hit me up! )
Wont be around until Monday. Have a great holiday weekend for some, and have a great weekend in general for everyone else! <3
This gave me as good a reason as any to pick up NWN:EE.
I'm back for the forseeable future and excited to see what's changed in the months since I'd had to depart.
I'm out of town for a couple days. Won't really have a computer until the weekend.
Be gone about 10 days.
Headed to CUBA!
Taking a break.
I'm away until next weekend.
Character: Gery O'Millice
So save those scrolls and if you leave the gate open Gery will come haunt your dreams!
The initial RL splash of deadlines has passed so I'll be making a more concerted effort to be IG and involved in things again.
I will be absent from the server until I believe I can bring something of value.

Bring yourself back, it's always been enough :) in your own time of course.
I'll be out of town and unavailable until Monday night.
Heading to a wedding this weekend. Will be a little out of touch.
I'll be in the woods all weekend, back on Sunday.
Gone for over a couple days, have a great weekend gang! ;D
Getting married, back in June. May still be around on Discord periodically!
Well. My computer got kinda messed up, so I'll have to take a short break. May be back soon.
Reduced play time today and tomorrow. Back Wednesday afternoon with purpose and gusto, my twin familiar goats.
Really uninspired right now so I'm exploring EE some and getting a cheap desktop that I can shove ram and a gpu in to panic less on EE than my notebook. Comparability issues on that box are a nightmare.

Congrats Halfbrood!
My play schedule is going to be wonky for the next week while I'm moving. I will for sure not be on starting Sunday-Wednesday, anything before that is up in the air.
Have a good weekend everyone! :)
Congratulations on the wedding Halfbrood! <3
Unfortunately, a major family issue has come up and I'll need to cut down my play times a bit.
Going into a long stretch of work. I'll be around but my times will be quite limited again.
Should be better for a bit come tuesday.
Gonna take a bit of a break.
I now must focus a bit on my thesis, and I won't be able to be online to the same, ahem, excessive degree I have been lately. I will still be playing, though. And if you would like me to hop in-game, or want to notify me about something interesting going on IG, please don't hesitate me a message on the Discord, and I will probably do so!
Off on Vacation! I'll be back soon, and around on Discord.
Work has massively kicked up for me. Will be out of the loop for a bit.
Looking like I'll be back towards the middle of next week.
I'm out for two weeks
I and Brother Kane will regrettably be away for a little while, such as life is. Hopefully not too long.
Major family crisis, might have severely reduced play times.
Taking a break for a few days, probably back in the weekend!
Despite my love for EFU, RL has taken its toll on me. Due to various health issues and a few other factors I will be not as active :(
Efuincarnate aka Sigurd here- for those I have been questing..err I mean having meaningful RP with, driving complex, diverse, and conflict laden plots with 8) , I will be absent til next Monday? or so..RL stuff requires doing. Godspeed, and good luck to you all! Hope the server is still here when I get time to jump back IG.
Taking a bit of time off from efu, ill be back eventually!
1th-4th june I am not going to be around in nwn and discord. Going far from home!
But #efudominions shouldn't worry much. I belive I will be able to make turns in time.
I will likely only be on rarely from the 4th to the 13th of June. Flying off on a vacation.
Taking a small break due to crazy RL stuff and also just good old fashioned fatigue.
Hello again, AllMYBudgies here - popping back to see what's what.
Taking a break. I'll be back when it's fresh, and inspiration returns.
Schedule has changed and I'm back sooner than July though my schedule is looking to be pretty sporadic still so don't expect too much regular activity until early/mid july.
I'll definitely be back in action and puttering around though.
Bye
I'm probably back!
Dip in availability while working on moving for like a month, might be able to play more than ever soon though
I haven't been having much fun without my friends and my unfinished business here has been conveniently wrapped up.
I will return eventually. I'm sure I will.
Play times are probably going to take more of a hit than usual this week and my availability over the weekend will be dicey.
Going far from home on few next days. Summer time! Resting time!
Do not destroy EFU without me!
And I will be able make turns in our games in #efudominions
I'm not feeling very well, unfortunately... I haven't been able to get on the last few days. I hope this changes soon.
My next week is largely going to be spent stuck in hell at work. Today alone was an 10 and a half hour work day! Tomorrow will (hopefully) just be 9.
Kora will be a little on the scarce side for the time being, as I'm working later than usual too.
Going on vacation for the next couple of days. Sorry to anyone who has biz with me!
Back!
Gone until the 19th!
ICly, Bláthnaid is on a little business trip.
Dealing with a death and all the things that come with wrangling together family for a funeral, but I'll be online after things settle down a few days from now. Apologies for continually stringing along the people I have SCHEMES with!
Will be on vacation from evening 17th to 24th, into 25th, depending on how late I return.
I am back, for now!
Faritha will be away fo a bit, see you all when I get back
Al'Aif Khalid yi Calimport
Is gone Monday to Friday.
Frank Gascoigne will be away for the weekend.
Out of town for GenCon this week.
I am taking a break. New job. Any play time will be limited.
I have family visiting for the weekend, so if anyone is looking to get their hands on Cecilia's 22 gold and CSW potion, they'll likely be disappointed by my availability for the next few days.
Leaving for Miami from Thursday-Sunday. Have a great weekend pals! 8)
Recent interactions with fellow players have lead me to believe it's time to take a short break. I'll be around next Monday or if Krows is needed for something.
Not really a "Leaving" so to speak but I've got a new contract with work and RL coming up Monday so i'll be back on the 9-5 grind instead of my eu/whenver freelance hours. Still hoping to be active in US evenings but just a heads up.
http://www.efupw.com/forums/index.php?PHPSESSID=v3FhvUXPdoizhdHf9brUK3&topic=689809.0
I am back effective tomorrow :)
I'm having a hard time willing myself to play once again, and I have a deadline I've sorely neglected coming up. Scarcity or full blown hiatus will be had for the time being.
I am still around, but work is starting, so I will perhaps be logged on less. Therefore, simply ping me on Discord, do IC sendings or postings if you want me to hop on!
I'll be on a family camping trip over the labor day weekend; As such, my PC's existence will be scarce to non-existent. Enjoy your reprieve.
Play times are going to limited until Oct 6th, then I will be gone entirely until Oct 14th.
If you wish to do something IG before I leave feel free to shoot me(Wench) a message on discord!
Take care party people! ;)
Assignments submission deadlines on the 23rd/26th of September makes continuing the Uncertain Times prohibitively onerous. Daily issues intermittent until deadline is over.
Stepping back for an indeterminable amount of time
Gonna become less active moving forward, might leave soon, don't know yet.
If you wish something from me ingame PM on discord.
My laptop has had some memory issues, and I'm pretty sure one of the ram sticks is faulty. Unfortunately, it wasn't an external one, so my play times aren't gonna be great until I get the internal one replaced. Looking to do so shortly, however, and I have a work around, but blue screening in the middle of playing sucks. XD
Going to be very busy this weekend and monday! May not be around much, if at all.
Going to a wedding gone for the weekend.
I have come back after my long awayness
Hello! Just lettin' y'all know, i'll only be active EST mornings or around GMT noon, due to work and school.
Thinkin' of taking a break to clear my head and sorting out my priorities. Not sure how long I'll be gone, so I will leave that open.
I am back. =]
I've started working a job that is pretty much the same hours I normally spend on EFU! So while I'm not planning on hanging up Horace, I will definitely be scarce for a bit. After this coming week, I should have a couple days off reliably, so we'll see.
I'm going on vacation (to Europe for the first time, woo!)
So I'll be gone until 10/25 at the earliest. See ya then, probably!
Have fun in Europe, Creg!
With my work stabalizing a fair bit i'm gonna be making another attempt at trying larger projects IG, so I'm back! (ish)
So with the seasons changing, I'm going to be working a lot more heading forward. Probably 5 nights a week. I'll be available during the morning and days, though.
My absence has been due to work. I've been working 6 days a week, with mornings usually dead on EFU. I'm still around though!
I've been working on on Uni work, I should be returning to a more normal schedule by the end of this week.
I'll be on vacation for the next 9 days, so Toril has at least that long before it is destroyed.
My Finals is on the 26th of November. It's cram time. Going to be more inactive. Will log in if called and not otherwise occupied. Do pardon me.
Kora will still be around, but I'm now working 6 nights a week in 7 hour shifts in when would be my usual playtime. Might be a bit scarce!
Hit me up on Discord (AMDW) if you want to meet up or need me for something.
I'll be out Wednesday through Sunday, so Toril will not end until Monday at the earliest.
That little mote of repentant darkness will be gone for the weekend. LARP event happens. I hope time without Charisse doesn't leave your dark darker. Or would it be lighter? Wait what happens when you take dark out of dark? Whatever back sometime in the next 3-4 days.
Have some very important things to do and can't avoid it!
And will be in place without nwn.
So I will be not around two weeks or so.
Do not destroy EFU without me!
This week is going to be a busy week, so I hope nothing's going to explode without Gentle, as it would make him very sad to not be the one lighting the fuse.
Gonna be gone for the next two days or so, don't blow up the sanctuary while I'm gone
Out of town for about 5 days.
I've been working overtime last week and this week, so Garen will continue to be scarce for a bit longer!
Been unable to start the game or much less log in since the newest update. Of course I miss the big move...
Hey guys. Because of my increasingly worsening physical and mental health, I'm stepping away from EfU until the next chapter, or when I decide to return. It's been a great chapter, but due to certain circumstances, lost motivation to continue my character and group concept. I'm sorry to everyone who was involved with Ssrinaptos, but things go as they do sometimes. If you need to contact me about anything, or need something resolved concerning Ssrinaptos let me know, I can hop on to finish a thing or two up, but I will not be active for the current time being, and starting January, won't be logging on at all until the chapter has finished up. Holidays anyways, gonna be busy.
Cheers everyone, and may ~revelations~ continue to unfold in the coming end times,
~NecroDude
Hope you feel better, man.
Won't be playing much since starting the new job. If you need anything IG shoot me a message on discord. ;D Otherwise see you guys at some of the upcoming events!
Been trying to make things work but RL has decided the best possible time to rear its ugly head with work and such. Apologies to those I've been trying to meet up with IG. I 100% won't be able to make Sunday, the week is looking choppy, and worst of all I'm uncertain about next weekend which is wholly unpleasant considering all the antics expected.
I'll be around discord but have fun, take screenshots, and get those streams running folks!
As some of you know, RL is a little crazy for me at the moment. Right now EfU is even more awesome than its normal greatness, as such I needed to leave Alec dead so I could get some things buttoned up in RL before diving back in. Hopefully things will settle down soon and I will be back with a new character.
In the mean time ... keep kicking ass and I will be watching from the Streaming / Forum Post / Screenshot sidelines.
Timezone issues and ignored pc actions have destroyed my enthusiasm once more. Taking a break.
I am heading off on vacation for a week starting tomorrow - so Gorn won't be around! I'll be back at the end of the next weekend - enjoy EFU until I return!
Will be returning in a week or so. Until then have fun everybody! 8)
Not that I am involved in too many things at the moment, but I am sick and will be taking a few days or more to recover. Please try to find the time to enjoy yourselves in my absence, though difficult I know it will be.
Adhesive - Rowan Graymantle
Out of town until Monday.
Break time! Time off from work has been thrown way too much at EFU antics and need to ferment a proper concept rather than just jumping from one to the next.
Hit those rings and crush those plots and keep on rockin'
Going to be a very busy week, so I may be on only a little bit and possibly not at all. I'll be back next Saturday night for sure.
Keep the cool things going IG.
I play Adrian Winespill.
I expect to be away from EFU for at least two weeks, perhaps a little longer.
Back around.
After an absence of like two years due to RL not leaving me enough time and lack of interest, I am back. I decided that EFU has far more things I like than things I dislike, and is an unique experience that must be enjoyed while it is around, so I will make an effort to invest at least some hours a week until RL give me respite :)
Be gone Thursday to Sunday.
Due to some complications with my O. Surgery I'll be out for the next two days. If you really need Thierry more than life itself you can hit discord and I'll try to check messages before I sleep.
This PC is semi retired, for several reasons, but I would like to let the folks that were after him, that his PLOT THING is still IG with someone.
Character death is always incredibly hard for me.
EFU is often good because it is brutal; it creates stakes and verisimilitude.
But right now I do not have the fortitude to put my heart into trying to create interesting stories only to have them abruptly snuffed rather than built upon.
Was busy the past week, but I am back and ready to continue my journey as Durzol
Traveling for a bit, back on Thursday!
I am back!
Hello!
Break.
Plum out.

Hello!
I've made these posts before but this is just a heads up to anyone who wonders when I vanish. I wont be playing EFU:Rings. The server is really nicely made. Yet my time here I think ended when the EFU story ended. I don't find the setting engaging personally.
I think a lot has to do with that my life is extremely busy and my time to play is very limited. Soon I'll be promoted at work and between that and my son I wont have any time really.
Thanks for the years and years of fun, 13... sheesh!
Plum out.
Congrats for you, bummer for us. Best of luck my friend!
Hey folks, I'll be gone for about a week. Should be back roughly around saturday.
Just need a break from efu in general. Nothing big or spectacular :)
Alrighty, I'm good with my break. Heading back for some more efu shenanigans!
Gonna be gone till I make a new concept for a character
Hey folks. Stuff has come up that demands more of my attention/time. I'm effectively on a vacation from efu for the foreseeable future. Have fun!
Work is demanding a crunch. I'm not going to disappear, but I might be online a little less consistently for the next 10, 15 days.
Things are so wondrously bustling and active right now, which makes it a bit of a shame that by most timezones I'll be unavailable for most of this weekend, beginning Friday. Might be around by Sunday of some timezones though to catch the tail end of the usual weekend EFU action. Don't have too much fun without me! (Just kidding, go wild.)
I've a novel coming out in late summer and I need to hurry up and finish it! I likely won't have time to play until early May. have fun!
Sorry. Was vanished for a bit, and remain that way a little longer. Should be back on Monday or Tuesday, though. Not a long absence, but with things going on as they are I thought it was worth clarifying. ^^;
The Rumour Mill will be taking a break of a day to three days from its daily issue to prevent burnout and to accummulate 'columns' with which to add to it. Still looking for people willing to help contribute articles!
Contrary to all in character advertisements I won't be at the tournament this Friday (https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/launch?iso=20190412T21&p0=851&msg=The+Planar+Tournament&font=cursive). I've got a D&D game with friends planned for that night so I'll be busy from a few hours before until a few hours after. I'll be back the next day.
Between my new job work hours being hella taxing and me becoming disillusioned with the current setting, I'll be taking a prolonged break.
Bye for now!

Once more taking my usual weekly break.
Likely going to have the issue on the tournament somewhere during said break.Break begins! One to three days. -flops-.
Until next Saturday, my activity shall be limited to the forum.
I will be unable to log on for the next few days starting tomorrow. An emergency has come up.
Sorry to folks involved with! I'm not going to be online very often this week. Should be back and a lot more fresh-faced afterwards, though.
I think I need a break for a few days, I may be online occasionally for short periods of time but most likely no, I need time to de-stress and cool off. Will be available for contact on the forum still if any need to contact my PC for the time being.
I'll be on vacation out of the country starting next weekend and have a big conference and about 1,000 things to do between then and now. I will definitely be around to round out more of an important meta-plot going on right now, but my time is thinning fast. Official travel dates are April 28-May 6.
I'm back in the saddle again.

Rumour Mill break! Except an issue (maybe two pages?) for the Rakshasa Question...
Taking a break for real this time, will be back saturday or sunday next week.
I am headed off to a big convention and will be gone from Thursday to Monday. You guys have fun in the meantime and try not to burn the Rings down!

Uh, as per usual, my weekly breaaaaak. Might be a wee bit longer. Certain RL things these few days to handle!
I am back again! Had an awesome convention. Hope all you guys have had lots of fun!
tore something in my arm so it has to rest. wont be able to play for a few days maybe more
After Captain Adamantine's latest death I'm feeling bummed and I'll probably take a small while off from Antoine O'Hara
I'll be dicking around on an alt until I get my groove back
Taking a break for a few days. Going to wrack my brain for inspiration.
Alright it's been almost a week of screwing around on random alts and after work I'm dusting off Antoine O'Hara and getting back on the horse. Thanks everyone for being patient with my slow return while I cooled off a bit.
To anyone who's been enjoying my screwing around alts Priscilla Perrywink or Saul Bellows I'm afraid they'll be resigned to be my PCs I play on crappy mobile EE at work.
Some unfortunate real life stuff has come up, compounded by my being bummed out it caused me to miss the silly-fun cantrip contest event.
Not going to be around too much. Might be able to sneak on occasionally for some quests with the dead time zone crew or little meetings around those times, but beyond that, yeah. Sorry. Hopefully this won't last more than a week.
I have return

I'm back! My trip to the other side of the world was outstanding. One pic in the link below.
After the heads-up post, I also started a kickass new job that all happened very quickly. It's an outstanding career step for me. My sincere apologies for my prolonged absence, but I will be back in-game tomorrow.
My time in-game will be
a little bit light for the next week or two as I get my bearings nil. Special guest is in town unexpectedly, and I will be 100% unavailable until next Monday evening May 20th. That's life for you.
As a side note and to my great amusement, my predecessor in the new job and her husband are huge DnD nerds, too. That was a fun, unexpected series of conversations.
https://i.imgur.com/4uLh28c.jpg (https://i.imgur.com/4uLh28c.jpg)
Going to semi-disappear for a few days, hopefully leading up to disappearing for yet a few more days and getting some health related matters sorted.
I'll post again right before poofing.
It's my birthday this week, and my mother's birthday next week.
And family has been visiting all month.
Alright. Feeling motivated and refreshed. Should be online a lot more frequently now.
I am back. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B62P6Gm9jpE)
Total War Three Kingdoms is out, and I very much would like to enjoy it.
My presence will be diminished and the Rumour Mill updated less for a while until I get it out of my system! ... probably going to try to finish one campaign as Cao Cao, one as Lu Bu, and one as the Yellow Turban before I am done.
>_>
<_<
Selena will, IC-ly, when absent, simply be clocking in some of her accrued leave days. :D
Taking a few days off while recovering. Cheers!
I will be taking a little time away.
I'll be gone until Tuesday.
Stay cool 8)
Festivities this week have cut into my play time but will be more active starting Monday.
Peace out nerds! Myself and the Rat Queen will be taking some time away.
Cheers!
Extending the leave indefinitely. May poof completely for a very long time or drop in every now and then, depending on time and fancy. Toodles!

Thank you for the awesome. Remember to have fun out there and come back to us sometime if it suits you, or don't. Either way, best wishes and good luck in all your endeavours.
As things started to 'heat up' icily. I unfortunately have a convention coming up this week. I'll be gone from Wednesday to Monday. I also have family coming in town the following week. So likely won't be playing regularly till the 24th.
semi-busy this week with some work stuff and catching up with old buds so my playtime will be kinda spotty
The King's Inquisitor is leaving on a two week bender in a foreign country.
Back soon, don't break any laws!
Some may say things about bouncing back. I've had 10+ years of it. But I've gotten up many, many times and I can tell you that it doesn't always end in respect. And from some it never does. Toxic positivity is a poison that when drunk, it urges one to drink more of it. Thoughts cannot cure what is not well. Can't really have that in my life, I prefer something with more caffeine.
I am truly sorry that I cannot be your friend, EfU. That is all I have.
I am going travelling over the next month, over the course of which I'm not going to be available to EFU. I believe I've set things up to go on without my PC IG in the meantime. Be back in mid July. Have fun everyone.
Going to be a little out of commission for longer then planned, wrapping up some Finals this weekend into next week. :'(
Gonna be wrapped up in RL stuff for a while, stuff going on so I might be around discord rather often, but i wont be able to log in. Might just be a few days or could be longer, have to see what happens.
I'm back from Orgins Convention, so hopefully I'll catch folks in game.
Sorry all, I've been out of action for about a week now with computer issues. I'm hoping to have them fixed at some point next week.
I hope everyone who attended and participated in the Ticker Tournament had as much of a blast as I did!
Unfortunately, I shall be absent for the coming two or so weeks. Seeya folks then.
I am somewhat out for a few days due to dodgy food and internet. I can hold stilted RP but other than that I don't rate my internet.
Gone for just a few days here, family in town.
Gonna be mostly absent for a while i think, i might pop in for a certain thing if possible, but i am on forced RL hiatus for the most part.
RL has once more forced me to take a break. I don't know how much it will last, but I will certainly try to be back as soon as possible. Keep up the good work!
I will be traveling for a week starting Sunday. I'll still try to play but if the connection isn't good enough I'm out.
Once more I may be unavailable for a few days.
I'll be out of the house until next Saturday.
Bit of computer trouble so Fiasco Jones will be out for the week.
Pressing issues have arisen making my summer ever more complicated. My play has been off and on during June. I feel it is a disservice to all those who are dedicated and have rp connections with Drake, to not state that I'm not sure when things will calm down and that I can return to some form of normality. Until further notice, my time on the server will be very limited.
Will be absent for a bit longer, but my PC is now back up and running, Soppira will likely return later this month.
I am gone for a week or so! The guard contract competition had me online and scurrying around quite a lot, so this is a short step back to avoid burnout.
I'm taking a break.
Its been fun, but there should not be any loose ends to the plots I ran. If you have questions or need guidance that's fine. Please don't message me about coming in-game, however.
Hey guys I'm going to be gone for a while, some pretty life altering fuck storms rolled into town and I need to take care of them before I even think about EFU again.
I'll still be in discord if you want to message me and say hello, though I won't be very active in the channels, (as you could probably already tell.)
Tell cool stories, have tons of fun, don't blow up the setting until I return 8)
I'll be on a cruise until July 29th and will be pretty completely unreachable. See you nerds after that.
Having a hard time finding a concept so might just take a break for a bit and recharge. Cya
I'll be away from the 29th to 31st, probably wont be in-game until Friday but I'll be on Discord here and there.
Character is dead. A little bitter about the circumstances. Taking a little break, will probably be back.
I am back, though I probably won't be IG for another day.
Computer overheating/freezing issues that my small lizard-brain couldn't fix is putting my out of commission for a few days while I bring my PC to a shop. I'm also moving to a new apartment with a new roommate on Friday(ish) so I won't be able to be around in any serious capacity until I get settled in and I've had people with life skills fix my rig for me.
I'll still be dicking around on mobile EE and discord to get my fix but not playing on any character I'm attached to.
My internet has been super spotty/ outright vanishing all weekend which made doing much of anything IG almost impossible. I'm hoping to get things fixed this week but getting service squared away always comical.
Consider Suicide Rahim training in the Hyperbolic Time Ring until I can get this squared off.
I will be gone on vacation from the 22nd to the 28th. Consider Eo to be locked away in a lab doing mad science responsible research.
It's ya boi Rahim.
Back up and running with weights on my feet.
My turn in the chamber. Starting Monday I'm gonna be away for about a week and a half.
I'm going on a couple of weeks long break, personal matters. Luckily there has no real plot started yet on Turor "The Royal Spellhunter", so when I come back we'll pick up with the 'let's meet' and 'licenses' stuff.
:)
Just thought I'd mention here that I'm returning to some degree of EFU activity after summer break.
Time in the chamber ended up getting cut short due to some cancelled flights. I'm back.
I think because of a very deep IC slump, I am feeling terribly burnt out and will be taking a break. I know I should stick to it even in times like this and that I have absolutely brought this upon myself by self-gimping in many ways including playing a wizard without spells but it has all felt very IC and aligned with the story of wizards in the setting.
I probably just need a breather.
I have decided to keep the IC depression IC. Thanks to everyone who was supportive!
Pretty bummed out over my latest PC and just not sure what I would roll out for a while. Sorry to anyone who might have enjoyed my new PC but I am just not feeling it.
Will just catch up on some shows, get a little more sleep for a week or so. Come back and test the waters then.
My play times are pretty severely impacted by a move across the country. I will be around but not nearly as much.
Who am I kidding, I can't quit you, EFU.
Been gone for a few weeks! Likely to remain that way for the foreseeable future!
Moving to Scotland from Alaska is a hellish adjustment! Cheers!
My kid killed my modem by putting a blanket on it before I went to work my 12 hour shift. I'll be Mia until I get the only internet provider in town to come fix it.
See you guys in 2-3 weeks probably.
I am taking a break for a few days
Dealing with a few real life issues, will be back when things settle.
Real life has a funny way of kicking you in the ass just when it's about to get fun, affecting my mood/mental health. Makes playing a jovial reveler pretty hard haha, like the opposite of method acting. I won't necessarily be quitting EFU but I will be going incognito for a little bit with some casual concepts until I'm back in the right mindset. Sorry for anyone who's disappointed on the absence of Jaspar. You'll probably still see him from time to time but anything proactive will probably be put on hold for a while. Thanks for being awesome! See you guys in-game
I'm back-ish, and certainly back in-game by middle of the week - sorry for the sudden absence. Work obligations went crazy, among other AFK life demands (all good news and events, fortunately).
And like a few posts ahead have mentioned, the break was nice.
I am extending my break for a few days. Maybe to the end of the week.
I'm taking a break from EfU. Not sure how long, but will be until I think of what I want to do with the T-Man next or think of something new I want to play.
Back late Sunday.
Back.
Issues are for the most part resolved so I will be able to finally get back in game and get back in the thick of things.
Gonna be heading off for awhile. Don't have the spare time for efu like I used to (time-consuming job and all). Hope you folks have fun! Will poke my head in if it looks like the scenery's changed a bit :)
Back on Monday.
This sucks, a lot. I love EFU. I'm having one hell of a good time, and there are at least a half dozen amazing metaplots all playing off one another right now.
But, life calls. I'm going to be gone for basically a full month starting this Thursday. It's all good things going on - a lot of time spent with the wife, family, a best friend getting married, etc.
Apologies if I wasn't able to nicely package off Beodda Aethwin's, my character, role in whatever was going on. I'm looking already looking forward to getting back in. I will probably have only a reduced forum access.
It's certainly not my character's choices that led him away at such a cool time in the story. =(
Just left for a last minute work business that will have me out of the loop for a few days.
Won't be online as much as normal this month.
If you need me IG for something shoot me a PM on discord! 8)
Wow! I was without internet for quite a bit longer than I expected, but now I'm back!
I am officially settled in and back.
Still around! But health issues have once again taken me away until it gets fixed.
Heeeeey!
Because I've been poked a few times I just want to come here and clear the air,
I didn't retire the PC, I promise!
I've been elbow deep in some very time consuming classes and whenever I do have anytime to play its during the times no one is online :P
I'll be online again very soon, in fact most likely at the end of this month, early November latest. ;D
As a side note Cat I hope you get better very soon :D
I've been having trouble capturing that lightning in a bottle again, so I'm going to take a break for a bit
Hopefully I'll be back with something cool sooner rather than later!
P. S. I also hope you feel better soon, Cat!
Gone until Monday 10/28 8)
I'm out until 11/03 (though I may poke in every once in a while if necessary).
SgtWombat reporting for duty.
(I'm back and playing actively after quite a break.)
Limited time / out most of the week, should be back in stride by the weekend.
I'm back <_<
I came back from my trip to a full schedule of work, I'll be back online regularly by Monday ;D
Unfortunately, I won't be back until Monday (the 11th)
Correction: not until Wednesday the 13th, it looks like!
Been hitting efu pretty hard so I'm going to take a break to work through some backlogs of games, shows and RL stuff. Might be around a little but not nearly as much
Character: Melkoth Thrikzlos
I'm done for the foreseeable future, going to take some time to do other things.
I'm back, for now!
I may or may not be leaving, or having much/any time to play. Shit just hit the fan IRL and chances are I'll be moving and getting several new jobs to make sure my kid's ok.
Sorry nerds but EFU just can't be a priority while I sort some shit out!

As ever EFU is going nowhere. RL > Nerdgame.
Hope things go well.
Hello friends. I am making a conscious decision to spend less time on EFU and its various immersive experiences for a while, it's been a lot of intense fun with all the awesome conflicts between magi, apprentices and most recently Ringrunning activities. This is in no way protest to anything at all and I have only fond memories and experiences, merely that I recognise I've become a bit too involved and need to detach myself some for my own good. There's other things I need to do and I've let my engagement with EFU grow too strong - which I am sure as gamers most of us understand the dilemma of. This is just a bit of balancing out with other commitments and life. Mostly I'll just be reducing my presence (but I'm not going anywhere!) and this is actually the perfect time to do so for my character who despite some prominence has entered a bit of a low key phase on his pilgrimage right now. :)
Have fun everyone, and remember Wizardry is for the Wise. ;)
Suffering burn out. Going to be taking a step back from EFU a bit over the next few days.
Most likely, I will be gone from now till Friday (the 22nd). I hope to play a lot during the weekend, stretching into US tz.
Taking a small break, holidays and a bit of burn out. Be back after the new year. Might hop on randomly but sparsely.
On break at the moment, moving out at the end of this month has kept me pretty busy.
Aiming to be back come December when everything is set up.
Forgot to mention I went away for a couple of days, back now!
Out for the upcoming holiday
I will be unable to log in until after the server has updated. As such, Angvald will be unavailable until this weekend most likely. I will however be available on discord and forums if anyone needs/wants to chat!
I've been doing a job search, which sadly has to take priority over fishin and cookin. I'll make time at the end of this week to come back, and I look forward to seeing how you all ruined the good things with conflict-based goals.
Need some time away, but I will be back!
Away for the holidays, be back in 2020! ;D
Will be away for the holidays. I might play some here and there.
This isn't some table flip, I love that EFU is thick on heavy, well characterized PCs this chapter with very personal stories but I just feel like what I'm looking for from EFU at the moment isn't meshing with the community.
I'm hoping it's coming from being very exhausted and burnt out but I'm taking an extended EFU vacation.
So in the immortal words of Slurms McKenzie:
"Babes, you've served me well these 40 years, but this time I've got to party alone. There'll be other parties for you"
Party on, EFU.
Taking the week off.
Gone for the holidays.
Not actually leaving, but my activity will be much reduced for the next two weeks due to a unavoidable medical procedure.
If you need Ashenforge and I'm not around, feel free to shoot me a message on discord! Just be aware he might be a bit derpy, as his player will be high as shit on pain meds.
Back from break and back from the holidays for stuff once more.
Out for two days as I return to uni. Likely severely reduced playtime thereafter, unsure atm how it will be affected.
Hi again.
Gonna be MIA until the 8th due to work.
On and off gone again while school starts back up. Should be back in the next week. ;D
Away until the 8th.
Real life is going to be a bit chaotic so play times will be sporadic. Going to be an auntie either tonight or tomorrow!
Gone until Friday.
Play time still spotty due to Uni atm
Back, for the weekend at least!
I'll be back next week, depending if real life decides to be kind.
EfU is a hardcore drug by being the best damn NWN server out there but I'm getting off this train for now.
was playing Count Willhelm
Hi,
I felt awkward just leaving. I've hung out with a lot of you for like a year now. No huge goodbye post. Just EFU doesn't feel like the server I started playing, or what kept me around and having fun. I haven't been getting those long and complicated stories here anymore, like what really first captured my imagination with Eryeth. It's just been people dying and plotting to kill eachother in a variety of different ways. Which was fine, for awhile, but then personally it's gotten first repetitive then a bit off-putting. To each their own but it's not for me.
Add Loop0s#0001 on discord if you'd like to chat sometime.
Hope you all have fun though.
<3
EFU is the best server out there, but I just don't feel like I am having fun anymore. I keep trying to get back into it because it sounds appealing and interesting, but then take a significant setback that I just don't have the mindset to jump back on the horse anymore.
So no more Grumblechest. Sorry elves, Sloan, and company.
Or Ravhanna. She was a fun thing to play on the side, but it was me testing if it had just been Grumblechest that was making me disinterested.
Sorry folks. I may try to come back, but it definitely won't be anytime soon so those PCs are 'retired.'
Sorry to see you go, Loveless! Grumblechest was awesome and so was Ravhanna, hope to see you again maybe
I'm leaving on Friday for a week, won't be back till the next weekend!
Between schedule issues, a bit of burnout, and other issues, I'm just taking a week or two away to see if I can come back to things refreshed and having fun again.
Until then, Caston Winter is just unavailable while puttering around on things
I've been relatively inactive this past week or so thanks in part to some computer issues (Resolved I think) and getting my place ready for a stay by visiting family. Haven't gotten to see them in a couple years, so I'll be out next week. I may be around yet this weekend, but then starting next week I'll be away. I'll be back full swing mid-February.
My week long obsession with Project Zomboid is losing steam so you'll be seeing me and Maxwell Artfall again IG.
I'm out for a week, so no Eupraxia. When I get back I'll be a little more dedicated to getting a crew together.
Hey guys, I'll be gone for a couple days, don't have too much fun while I'm gone! 8)
I will be leaving the peanut gallery and soap opera that is our discord channel. I"ll probably keep playing IG however its gotten to the point where I have seriously let memeing/making idiocy on discord contribute to IG whispers. Its also very clear that my experiences RL cannot be handled with maturity by some on the server. I will be fine tuning myself and not multi tasking for a further enhanced EFU experience for everyone.
Taking a vacation to Florida. Will be gone for about seven days.
I'm going to be gone due to school.
Hi, I won't be on-line due to health issues. I can't say how long.

Take care of yourself and hope things improve!
Take care of yourself and get better!!!
Staying with family while the quarantine is going on, won't be on for 2 weeks.
Sorry to those who were ring running with me, I'll still have forum access.
I am also planning maybe a couple nights of playing during this time period if I get my hands on a computer.
If you need something IG feel free to send me a Discord message and we can set something up ;D
Stay safe everyone out there.
Been suffering some computer woes and haven't been able to fix them yet with everything else going on out there. As soon as I get some new hardware Angvald will be back!
Hey. IA m going to make a break, think on concept I'd like to play, because for now whatever I've started doesn't please and entertain me much.
See you soon.
Will try to stay away from EfU next couple of days to take care of a lot of work, hopefully I'll be done by the weekend.
Hello again
Out for a little bit. Back eventually! Sorry for any inconvenience.
I desperately wish I had more time to play but I'll have to do some work this weekend. See you all soon.
Back after a (much) needed 3-month break.
Sooo.... after a bit of a somewhat extended absence., I'm gonna stick my foot in the water again and play with you guys. Looking forward to playing with all the old and new faces!
I'm properly back now, as you can probably tell from my usual routine of "play somethign slightly offbeat, discover a bunch of edge cases for it and post in Suggestions about them" :P.
Currently playing Dr. Narkus Brogan, back-alley doctor and cut price mercenary combat surgeon. Really enjoying the more unpredictable, exploration focused theme of this chapter,
Taking a break for a few to deal with some personal stuff. Will be back hopefully when it resolves!
I'm back again, after what feels like forever. Thoroughly enjoying the new setting, with my character Bido :)
Working some Overtime this week and have the in-laws in for the week too. So likely won't be on regularly until roughly the 17th. So no weather reports until then. Sorry folks.
Moving soon so packing this week and have work training the follow week so play will be sporadic, Arnbjorn will be here and there if I manage to find time to play during that time
New ...everything! Looks like a nice place to ride out the pandemic..see you all soon! :P
Hey folks. I don't feel comfortable playing on efu anymore, so I'll be leaving for the last time. I apologize if this is too abrupt for anyone that was interacting/storybuilding with my character, but it can't be helped.
Thanks for all the years of fun!
Hi,
I haven't been able to play very much the last week or so. I tried to be on a little to keep character momentum, but I'll be on even less for the near future. Have fun everyone.
I just want to mention for the sake of communication that I've fallen ill, but that it shouldn't be anything serious! It just means I'm only semi-available while I recover.
After a lengthy discussion with a friend of mine, I've decided to give efu another go.
Ignore my last post!
Off into the wild for a break, once I wrap up an obituary post.
After a bad allergic reaction (I'm alive, and okay, and home safely), going to be MIA for a few days.
Healthy and everything just a bit shook up so EFU a low priority for at least the weekend. Knowing me though i'll probably be back sooner rather than later 'cause I gots to have my fix.
Been gone for a bit but I should be around more now.
Hey people, my PC got wrecked and Im not in a best situation right now as well.. so I will be taking a break for a time. But Otto will be back. Cheers
Just letting people know, I've been planning a camping trip for about two weeks on the tour of some national parks- I will return and get back to playing Edwina once this has concluded. I plan to leave in a few days time, but I also didn't want people to think I'd left for good!
I'll have very reduced time for EFU for about a week, starting this Friday! I should be active on discord, though.
I'm in the same boat. Work schedule is back to normal since Monday and we're playing hardcore catch up for the next few weeks, but I should be able to hop on on weekends if anyone is looking for Minara.
I'm back at work. So I have a lot less time to play Elsbeth lately. I'll try to stick with her at least on my days off, whenever those are.
I have returned from my vacation!
I have returned from my mini-vacation also, you can expect to start seeing me IG again in a few hours
Taking a break
Just to provide a courtesy notice regarding my situation since I've remained absent for longer than expected: I'm dealing with a prolonged recovery from illness and I'm also finding there's a bit of pandemic angst getting to me as a result. Whilst I think I can still drop IG from time to time, it's at the absolute bottom of my priorities right now as it can have a negative impact as a stress-contributor (due to the intense nature of EFU or at least the intensive and immersive way I tend to engage with it). I'm still present on Discord and might spend some downtime completing IC books and things but for now I'm a casual/cameo presence at best until things settle down for me.

Take care of yourself and take your time.
I'm out for a good while!
Take care!
I meed time to clear my head and focus on work projects. Consider Benedict Vauss retired.
Hey folks. Some of you might've noticed I've been on less and less lately. That's due to rl obligations that are going to start to demand more of my usual play time. I'll still be on from time to time when I'm able, but for all intents and purposes you should consider me mostly absent from efu until further notice.
The last two weeks or so I've been feeling like logging in has been a chore, something I -had- to do to try to keep up with the going-ons rather then something I was looking forward to. I went in really hard on Alexandra and I think I might have burnt myself out, plus a feeling of stagnation despite all the efforts have really gotten me really down lately. I'll be taking a break to try and recharge and focus on the stuff I liked most about EFU. Maybe a week, maybe a month, who knows.
Sorry to the folks who had stuff going on with Alexandra, best of luck to you all.
Hello!
Not like I have been playing much anyways but I'll be away for a bit, this past month I've gotten some nasty ulcer flare ups which has left me pretty much bed ridden. And at the end of this month I will be moving to NC and wrap school and finals into all that as well! :P
During this time I'll still have my discord up though not checking the channels much, if you want to play a casual game with me and I have the time or energy shoot me a PM ;D
I will be gone for at least a week, probably 2-3 weeks, due to moving between countries.
A few folks have asked what I'm doing now that my Thaumaturge, Padernig, died. Well, I'm very busy doing Doordash and Uber Eats deliveries, while I look for a more permanent job. Have a new PC (Modares of Caerhithe), but I just don't have a lot of time to play. Consider me "inconsistent".
I hope to get a few hours in for questing here and there, but no promises.
Gone until Monday. Sayonara!
My work has been keeping me busy for the past week or so and it is likely to continue to limit my ingame time. I don't have terribly much free time that I can devote to EFU. I hope that changes, but for the time being: if anyone wants to speak with Saibhon please contact me on Discord and I'll try to hop on from time to time.
Haven't managed to find my footing in CoR. Taking an extended break.
Found a replecement.
Hey, just an update for anyone who was curious about my sudden disappearance. I received an update from the USAF that I've been waiting for, for some 6+ months now. Things are picking up and I'm already incredibly busy because of it IRL, so I won't be able to be in game with any consistency until I get out of training, some many months from now.
After that, I will consider playing again. Until then, it's been fun EFU.
Thanks for the good times -
As far as Valatina is concerned, consider her retired taking time to care for her adopted child until further notice. Should anything significant happen to glitt, that may be permanent.
Cheers!

Good luck with everything in real life! I'm sure EFU will still be there rolling along should you find the time or inclination to immerse yourself into the realms of dark fantasy, mystery, and intrigue once again.
Hello my friends! I had to step away from the computer for a little while due to a variety of things going on. Too much time at my computer desk for work and play has caused me untold grief to my neck, back and ribs. The doctor told me I need to minimize computer usage for a while and maximize exorcise to get my body untwisted. Bad posture kills, my dudes.
So! I joined a HEMA (Historic European Martial Arts) and IMCF (International Medieval Combat Federation) club. I've picked up a sword (several of them) and started learning how to use it! I've been working 3-5 hours a day with a variety of weapons. So far I've found my best to be the German Longsword and the Highlands Claymore. I've been sparring hard, broke a few knuckles but otherwise my body is starting to cooperate with me again. Finally getting back into fighting shape, literally.
As well the city I live has been getting hit hard with riots, looting and protests. It is getting very dangerous out here IRL, so I have been spending my down time stocking on supplies, training and preparing for the very real possibility of bread riots if things don't start to improve economically here.
Angvald will return as soon as the doctor gives me a clean bill and things calm down a little. I miss you guys!
In the meantime... Enjoy some photos!
Angvald IRL in my training and sparring armor sets. Witcher and Highlander custom made and assembled. Pictured here are a Shortsword, a Longsword, a Claymore and a Bastard Sword. The Claymore and Shortsword have the brass hilts. Each is battle-ready but I've blunted the edges for safer sparring. I've been literally living on mountain tops, training day and night with sword, knife and axe.

Desir will be off the map for a week or two. Real life matters to take care of.
Work continues to be extremely busy for me, unfortunately! Apologies to anyone seeking my PC!
Taking an extended break from efu and discord.
I've been pretty busy with work for the last months, not enough time to dedicate to playing a Peerage person who should be in the know of things, so I'm just taking a break. Not retiring my character or anything, Grayson's out there somewhere, mucking about.
I've had less and less time to play on the regular and I've got some happy RL events next month which will mean even less EFU, so I'm going to duck out now and wish y'all the best. I may pop into Discord from time to time but otherwise, keep on keeping on, EFU.
Taking a break. Could be a couple of days, could be longer. Hopefully not seven years, though. : )
It's been loads of fun, these past three months. Keep rocking EfU.
Unfortunately work is picking up again. My playtime is going to be much more limited.
Having some computer issues and it might take a day or two to get back.
Things have calmed down so I'll be back in a small then increasing amount, gnomes rejoice.
I'll be taking an extended break from EfU for some time. Me and my wife had a child a lot earlier than she was scheduled to arrive, so there's no time for EfU at the moment :)

Modares player and I are camping for a few days. Should return after the weekend. May try to get on in the next few days, but I don't know how good their internet is here. See you soon EFU!
Going to be gone for a bit due to school.

We're back, by the way. :)
Dude I quit
Will be (trying to) cut down on my playtime to focus on studies. Likely to spend more playtime on weekends than weeknights.
Something rather important came up in my life and I have had to shift my focus towards that and my own personal stuff.
I'm out for a good while and to stop myself from being tempted to come back, I've had to leave the discord too.
Don't be strangers though, if you're a friend on discord, just send a message if you ever want to chat.
Till next time EFU, go forth and be awesome
Hey, I'm back. Really busy with work and my personal life. A lot has changed, for the better, since I disappeared. Hoping to get some play time in here and there. Likely in the evenings.
Despair flows forth from me and I am sad. My heart is shattered into 108 pieces, and scattered to the winds of at least 5 seasons worth of weekly monsters.
Things happened that cannot dehappen. Without going into details, although we saved the bridge from burning down, it can no longer support the weight of our manly pride.
I will never recover. Ahhhhhh oh no grief sounds
And so I must bid you all peace: the final adieu. It's been very real, but there's no longer a place for me as your crewmate. I've decided to go home and become a family man.
I'm 100% serious right now; you can tell by my tone, and the words I've chosen. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xI8HnxdupKU)
Goodbye for ever for super serial you guys.
It's okay, everyone. He filled me in on everything. So, you're roleplayers, eh? I'm here to help you on your journey. Who am I?
Well... (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNyP3uzgRhA)
Greener RL pastures. Stay awesome, EfU.
Come the 4th of November, I shall start on a new and incredibly demanding job which requires that I slave away for the corpocracy. This means that from then on, my activity will be much diminished, and I can likely only log in during the weekends. I am not entirely sure of my schedule, yet, but I do not have high hopes.
I'll try to be around when I can, nevertheless, and in the meantime, Eleleth shall start searching for more Nepherazims and maybe a squire.
Hey guys I had some personal stuff come up and I need to be offline for the foreseeable future. Ill be out indefinitely, see you guys next time.
Awww.... I hope everything will be alright. I look forward to play with you again!
After october, I'll be much less available for IG participation. Both for work and personal projects.
Taking a break for a few days to focus on work and studies.
Friendly handmaid Eris Hale will be less active for a few days while her player has some minor dental surgery done. Should be around again by wed / thurs
Praise Yevethax

I'll be de-stressing for a week. If folks need me, ping SamB in Discord.
Several people has been asking, so I better just make it clear. I won't be back until at least mid-december : Strangely, NWN:EE is very reluctant to download, but the most important point is, I highly doubt my job laptop could run appropriately a heavily-modded NWN, as it is on EFU. It runs "alright" on NWN classic edition, vanilla settings. You get the picture. Being far from home, this is it.
So, no Desir or anything else for what's left of 2020.
Have a nice time here, folks!
Y'all have noticed by now, friendly handmaid Bishop Eris Hale Alethea isn't online at all for the past few days.
I have been:
- Moving
- Getting my ass kicked by work / IRL
- Going through an amicable but tiresome breakup
As such, I should be on during weekends, maybe weekdays if you guys ping me. Situation should improve muchly when both the work projects I am being destroyed by are finally handed in (everything decided to 'come back from Covid' all at once up in here in B-zilla, so it's crazy days...) which should be the 25-26th!
Keep it warm for me, guys! I'll be right back I promise!
There is no a nice way to say it soo i will just be blunt and honest
I Cheated
i was aware that what i was doing was wrong and in panic i even tried to hide it, so i have no excuse
The DM's were generous to me and with the removal of all my chars from the vault they allowed me to remain in the Server, but still i desire to take a pause from the server as i know my actions are worthy of been banned.
I would like to say a lot of things like " i betrayed the trust put in me" and "I'm sorry" but will be realy ipocrit for me and ripetitive, i knew i was doing something wrong and in my arrogance I thought I could get away with it
So I decided i will leave the server for some time.
I hope when i will return i will be better
Work has become onerous and I will probably have less time to play until the holidays.

We all commit mistakes and admitting publically says a lot about you. I look forward to having you back :)
A mix of dwindling motivation IG and a new job I'll be starting soon (that will 100% kick my ass into the shadow realm) means I'll have precious little time to invest in the hardcore moshpit thrill that is EfU starting ABOUT a week from now.
That being said, this is still the best server I've experienced in years. From the players to the DMs to the setting. I'll still be around, even if it's just on a superficial level for awhile
Going to take some time off. I keep flitting between ideas, and with the server as volatile as it is with the new changes, I'll be back when it's a little more stable.
Having some health problems that is making being on the computer for long stretches not fun. I won't be on much or at all until I've resolved it.

Get well soon!!
Hey everyone. Some of you might've noticed my increasingly shrinking schedule. Well, it's at a point now where I need to take a leave from EFU to attend to rl. I don't expect to be available for any meaningful amount of time for awhile either, so consider me on leave until further notice.
Hope you all have fun!
New job and new semester, so a lot less time for EfU. However, reach out on Discord if you need me in game!
I'm out. My plot got abandoned and no other DM wanted to pick it up. That Mist thing in 75 on December 5th? That was the last time a DM gave the Druids the time of day. No wonder the bad guys keep winning. Big shocker. Thanks to Dill for offering something else, YMD for the beautiful necklace, and Vlaid for the fishing pole. Enjoy your arena server.
I'm back to work. The situation was supposed to be alright, but there's a lot of work to be done, in the end. Also, the final date of a project I have to finish have been moved several weeks closer. I can't say what will happen of Alejandro, as I can't guarantee any playtime at all. Sorry Team Velstra, wish you a lot of fun!
A surprise and fast-moving promotion opportunity at work combined with also juggling classes are going to limit my EFU time a lot for a while! I'll try to poke in but I can't guarantee anything... thanks to everyone who I got to play with!
At least until april I will have much less free time available and I want to spend what little I have left in other, less time-consuming hobbies. Have fun!
Taking a short EFU break to due to a likely spike in long work hours. Will still be around, but likely only on as time/ energy allows and a fair amount less than recent weeks.
Dan
Unfortunately, it looks like I'll be out longer than initially expected. Have fun, efu
Taking a break from Discord and other distractions to focus more on school and other personal projects without the urge to look at dumb stuff. I'll pop in and out every once and a while to check in and share memes of course.
Also I'll still be playing, just more sparingly.
If you need to reach me or just want to say hi do not hesitate to add me as a friend Wench#2688
;D
Just closed on buying a house so unless it falls through before the contract signing I won't have as much time to game for a few weeks.
You're all safe from Crazypickle Marjolo for a while

A few weeks...
I signed on buying an apartment on the 12th November...
I still don't have a moving in date...
Workload increasing over the next two weeks, so I might have lss time.
Thanks for all the interactions and the attempts to make such an interesting and vibrant world. I had fun, and that's something to be said for work done by people who don't even get paid.
That said I'm heading out.

This away time will continue until i'm done with training. I know I've mentioned it a dozen times over the years, but I'm *finally* able to join the Air Force after flirting with the idea since high school. From march 9th to late fall, at the earliest, i'll be in training.
I'll see y'all then :)
Hey, going to take a break to, perhaps, come up with some new ideas and concept.
I have a Thursday deadline that I need to tackle. Should probably still have some time to play late nights but not as much until then.
I'm back, folks...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAgnJDJN4VA
Hi,
I'm leaving, there more reasons behind this. Thanks to all who played with my chars. Have fun :).
Hey, been trying to come up with something that I'd like to play. Kind of failed. Going to take a break. Feel free to message me if there'll be organized EU time group concept or ringrunning crew.
Discord: Disorder#9069
Just since I try to pride myself on trying to be around at least a bit every day, I got round 1 of the vax and I'm already feeling it so I'm going to be taking it easy.
If needed feel free to send forum letter and I'll check back every day or two, else chilling 'til weekend/monday probably.
Quick, RWG is weakened! Strike now! (Also, feel better!)
So since the leave from discord was abrupt and had people inquiring - No I didn't rage quit, lol. Mostly left to curb distraction. I've got one week to focus heavy on RL work before the dose 2 which everyone says is "The bad one" and considering my first round kicked my ass for 4-5 days, it definitely leaves me a bit concerned and with Elf Game as the last thing on my mind. Except the ADHD and obsessive tendencies means Elfgame is a hard drug to kick lol. So ripping the bandaid off cold turkey.
Take it Sleazy EFU and I'll check back in a few weeks/month with some other batshit crazy plan with the salt shaken off and some fresh batteries, or at least check in so all my DUMMY THICC SCHEMEY BOIS know i'm all good lol.
Back, but rather casually, see you in game :)
Been away for a bit, gonna be away for a little bit more.
I'm adjusting to a new schedule so I may be quiet for a bit, though I am still around! It shouldn't last for very long, as I find new times to play.
Going to be a rare sight for the next three months. Away for work.
Taking a break, probably an extended one.
Going to be on Haiatus for a while. - Can probably consider Nadine retired at this point I figure. I might throw up a obit at some point with the screenies I've got, but its not up on my list of priorities atm.
Hope to be back with a new toon soonish :)
My wife ( Elegant Noble#9539 on Discord) and myself are on break for awhile, so that we can enjoy our 3rd baby who joined the wide world just yesterday evening. :)
If you need me (don't ask for the wife; she's on bed rest), ping me on Discord. Otherwise, see y'all in a few weeks or so.
Having just finished two conflict heavy PCs in a row I think it's time for me to take a break from playing, at least for a little bit until an idea really jumps out at me to play again.
I'll still be farting around discord just taking an IG break for a while :)
Just died from a really lame bug and with no DM there it's one of those deaths that puts a sour taste in my mouth.
I have some stuff in my personal life going on. Some of my friends here know a bit about it. Taking a long break.

That's most unfortunate and a shame. But when you have things going on outside of the game playing on your mind these things feel all the more unpleasant. I hope things improve for you soon.
I'd like to leave you with this messsage of gnomish regard for your enjoyment and perhaps response one day (no pressure at all!): To Baron Benedikt von Hundertwasser (https://www.efupw.com/forums/index.php?topic=702485.0#new).

Might be a bit late now but whenever you die to a bug you can always try talking to a DM and explain what happened, sometimes you might get lucky with a little mercy :)
I give it 14 days plum. Then you will be back ;)
After some convincing I decided to keep playing Gerhard 'till he's finished, will probably take a break after that.
edited: i still stand by my original post, but have decided to just eat the shit and focus on the positives of this game
With COVID-19 restrictions lifting in my city, life/work has been super busy for me.
Be back once things settle down.
Transitioning home from a work thing. Will be back mid august.
So.. Disco knows me to well.
After a bit of time to cool off I've eaten my death and am back playing. While I don't agree with it I probably should had handled it like a mature adult (yes I'm looking at you Vlaid and Sanka) which I didn't, partly because of some personal stuff going on in my life.
Still very busy and my times will be limited IG for now.
welcome back gamer

Glad you're back!
Haven't really been around lately. There's no specific reason for it. Guess I just ain't been feeling it for a bit.
So, I'm on official break for a bit.
I'm semi-out for a week as I'm hosting friends around mine.
I was thinking about time I've been spending at EfU and jumped to a conclusion that the only thing that interest me is to learn lore of the Ring 1, visit it. Then I realized that I've made a great mistake with my last character getting involved in all that monstrous activities rather than focusing on ringrunning. It's the 3rd or 4th time when some player characters who were behind mine in that race towards Ring 1 and who, I in a way, was leading forward are now far above and I have to start it all anew.
That killed my mood to play EFU entirely, so, yes, a break utill / if it shifts.
Hey everyone. I'll be gone for a while, dealing with a death in the family.

Hey everyone. I'll be gone for a while, dealing with a death in the family.
My condolences. Be well.
I am moving apartments and will be busy with that process for a day or three, but hopefully I will be all set by the weekend.
I am back now, somewhat limited but I am able to get IG if anyone needs me. Just ping me on Discord.
I work full-time on weekdays.
Those who are looking for me are more likely to find me on weekends.
Likely won't be available much (probably not at all) for the next few days as I'll be out of town. Slugo (Gliern) will be back in action Tuesday, Aug 17 though.
Will be very spotty for the next week or so.
Apologies for the unexpected absence, I lost power for a few days. Happy to be back now, though, and catch up on what I missed.
Won't be available for the next few days at least. RL threw me a curveball.
The curveball was the fact that I'm a father now, following an unexpected delivery 10 weeks ahead of schedule. The babies are fine but I will naturally have much less time for efu at the moment, so for now it's see y'all around rather than good-bye forever. Keep it going efu.
Congrats blue! I am glad to hear the babies are doing well, I wish you luck with the wee ones.

Haven't really been around lately. There's no specific reason for it. Guess I just ain't been feeling it for a bit.
So, I'm on official break for a bit.
I'm back. Still in black.

Congrats! Welcome to fatherhood. It's a real treat.
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who reached out, it really helped during a difficult time. :)
Taking a break from EFU, be back whenever I get the urge to roll something up again.
I need to sleep more, so I might be a bit less available.
Gone camping for a couple of days.
Moving house and changing jobs. Out for mini a week, unless something happens and I get spare time.
I will be relatively scarce for another two weeks more.
Quote from: ErrantryWar on July 28, 2021, 05:58:00 AM
Transitioning home from a work thing. Will be back mid august.
Aaaaand back.
My playtime is going to be a little more sparse for a week or so.
Hey there Efu! ;D
Taking a long break to settle into a new job and other school related things.
I know I already don't log in much anymore.... Like.... Ever. But I couldn't resist this event and decided it would be a perfect last hurrah before I slink into the cave of homework, work and study.
Keep telling awesome stories! I'll be watching discord to follow along and maybe I can come back in a couple months with more free time!
My play times are unfortunately going to become pretty limited for the next week or two as I transition into a new place and deal with all the tribulations and drama of that!
Don't seem to have the EFU itch lately so probably taking a break for a bit.
Playing Wrath of the Righteous atm and a few important events coming up so unlikely to be IG much.
Won't be playing as much for awhile. Busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy.
Going to take a break for a bit!
Taking a couple days off
Wanted to make it official/known.
Back! And happy to be :)
Taking at least a month or two hiatus. See you guys on the next!
EFU hasn't hit right for a while and still isn't. Be back sometime.
Im currently playing Tudur Crabbe and will not be online tomorrow, and monday looks like a maybe as well.
I'll be taking a long break from efu. Rock on.
For the record, not sure if the majority of y'all saw or not, but after Wilfred died my interest in EFU hit rock bottom. Combined with increasing RL responsibilities (4/5 adults in my family are going down for surgery {Again)) and I have no interest in making another character at this time. I'll be back in may or later, whenever I'm home from training.
Keep on rocking.
Wah wah wah
Over-reaction and blame
Leaving for a good long while to work on my mental health. Thought I could do both; clearly can't.
Sorry
I'm sorry to see you go. I know we don't know each other too well, but I enjoyed seeing your character IG and talking with you on discord, for whatever that's worth. Take care.
i cant play efu 24/7, and despite my efforts to make it work into my schedule, it's clear to me that it's expected i play nonstop or my efforts are worthless. I'll come back when I have time to give, have fun gamers =)
sorry to be drama lama
A sentiment I often find myself sharing. Regardless! I hope a short break helps you deal with the setback.
Come back soon, Nelly!
Hey folks, going to be absent a few days while I wait on an application for my next character. Until then, have fun!
Sverri will be around in game a bit less(if at all) for probably a few weeks at least as I explore the FF14 expansion. Feel free to continue to send me letters about deaths and the like so I can write about them later though
Aside from some minor presence on discord, I won't be around much for the next few weeks.
Sorry to anyone hoping to catch me in game. Work and other stuff is cutting a huge chunk right now. I made my character thinking I could get away with light ring running hours but it seems expectations have shifted the other way. Taking a few weeks hiatus.
Drastically reduced playing times (and different time zone, except on weekends) because of work. However, if you want to catch me IG, feel free to reach out on Discord, or with an IC message on the forums.
Many in the community are already aware that I take care of a relative of mine. For the last five or six years I've been providing end of life care to my grandfather, who has COPD and has been on the long journey of decline. Around thirty-two hours ago he started into the final stretch of his life, and the hospice staff helping us has said he has at most 20-30 hours left before he's gone. As a result I am going to have a lot of changes to make in both my life and my home to deal with his absence.
My playtime is liable to become very sporadic. Honestly, I would probably welcome the distraction of efu, so maybe I will steal more time than I think. But I didn't want to leave anyone hanging in regards to my current pc. Moreover, I wanted to have a chance to thank you all. Even though I am the first to criticize aspects of this community I think could be improved, it's out of a genuine love for the people and work that goes in here. Efu has been a very helpful thing to distract myself from some of the pain and difficult that comes from losing a very close loved one. Thank you again for all the fun and energy you have poured into the game world. Sometimes even those very small interactions were a very big boost to me during difficult times.
I'll be taking a vacay in the mountains, starting Friday for 8-9 days. Should be able to check discord sporadically though.
my job sucks and they sent me on a surprise trip ... and no not the funny kind, i had a few hours to pack my bags and left my pc at home so for a week ryden will be hidden
With the death of Argalie wrapping up loose ends, I'll be taking a break from efu for awhile. Rl has my schedule swamped and I have other priorities I need to attend to. Don't know when I'll be back.
Thanks for the rp, and have fun folks! :)
RL Schedule as it is is just not allowing me to play the kind of EFU I enjoy, so for now it's gonna have to be adieu.
Thanks to everyone for coming out for the Theatre fun and keep the pimp hand (and PC factions) strong.
Sorry I have been absent as of late! The new semester started I am dedicating all my free time to it.
Expect my play times more catered to the weekends EST evenings :D
My returns are often in such fits and starts that I seldom ever bother posting here, I'll come back for a week then vanish for 3 months. I was already feeling like vanishing, but next week i'll be on a boat out of country, and by the time I get back Total War Warhammer 3 will be out, and then after that Elden Ring... yeah, I shant be around much. I doubt it will affect anyone.
Character(s)
Eugene Chandler (I still have your money, Stranger)
Vanard Mason (Y'all bludgers need The City)
Said it on the Discord. Putting it on the forums. I was sort of on a break with Iono, but with him dead. I'm just gonna' be on an indefinite hiatus.
Gonna take some time off. a week or two.
Taking a long break to work on some other projects, I'll be lurking!
Continue telling some great stories players and DM team! ;D
Going on Haitus for a while.
Arty can be considered retired, been away for most of the last month or so anyway.
See you all soon.
Two pcs in line FDed for bounty? Too much for my taste. Taking a break
i am out of pocket for a week! no nwn access on vacation. be back soon
Taking a break for a week or two. See ya guys!
Making some time to sporadically log in again! :D
Nothing seems to be appealing to me IG right now so probably just going to be taking a break for a while.
been logging in less (but still logging in) because I am in the height of interviewing for new jobs (hurrah). It's going very well and I'm happy, but I launched several processes in parallel and so it is consuming me. I'll be in and out as I can (1-2x a week log ins so far, but I still feel it's not enough so explaining here)! Looking forward to being more full on once I have something nailed down. My PC is not dead or retired lol
Fighting not to log in until the semester finishes in six weeks lol. Might be a losing battle!
Been out unexpectedly in the hospital and undergoing some surgery—all seems well, now, so just recovering.
Apologies to anyone I ghosted mid-plot or who's been waiting on me for anything. See y'all IG again soon!
For a variety of reasons, I'll be having increasingly less time for NWN until very end of May... Including missing the mongrel times! Feel free to push all intrigues forward and to send Correspondence, though, as I can definitely respond to those! :)
Sparse play times due to school and other responsibilities.
I'm stepping away from the server for now. Consider Luna Wintergard unreachable until further notice.
Toodles
I just started school and want to avoid any distractions until I finish or am more settled in, so I'll be gone awhile! Bye for now!
Hey there!
Just really busy this past week with school, work, interviews, ect.
Taking a big healthy break from a lot of things to just relax and not use my brain for a bit. If you need me please reach out and I will gladly jump online, otherwise I'll be irregular for about a week then back at it.
;D
Hey people.
I've felt really uninspired for the past week or two, so I haven't been very active. Thus I am making it official. I am taking a break from EfU for a while, at least a week or two, possibly more. But I wish you all a great July and hope you have lots of fun :)
~tOH.
It's probably obvious from my inactivity on Owlstone but I'll continue to have very little playtime through July since it's our busiest month at work. I'll make an effort where I can but I have to balance my life a little too. love u guys xoxo
-Unfie
howdy folks, my job search took a weird spiral turn and I have to start over mostly again. been too stressed lately to spend what minimal free time I have being online on EFU. i will be back sooooooooon hopefully, but also missing this weekend's count event. apologies, I wish I could just be spending all my time playing video games rn and even when i have an hour here or there unfortunately shaking things up takes a good bit of creativity thinking + implementation time + stress that I can't squeeze out of me until my job situation is settled IRL.
i will pop in when I can :D hopefully things die down in another week or two
On a business trip. Back Friday.
Recondite dead, time for a bit of a break from EFU. I'll pop back in if I have an idea but the concept well is pretty dried up right now.
Going to be on vacation for a week. Might be around spottily in the evenings if you need be but it isn't a sure thing. Can ping me on discord if Mebril is needed for keep stuff and can try to co-ordinate.
(https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/617175503580954631/1017564247263293491/Screenshot_20220907_213841.jpg)
I'm out. I thought I could come back and avoid the parts that pushed me away in the first place, but it seems that's not possible.
Might be back some day. Might not. Enjoy the murder-fest.
Gone for the foreseeable future as well. I find no joy in efu at the moment. Someone can feel free to hit me up with a concept or something but as it stands the current dynamic is dull to me.
Cheers.
o/
I think I'll be gone until v6 comes out. I've tried popping back in and out, but the mystery is gone.
FRET NOT! I HAVE SOMETHING PLANNED!
I'll be back!
At a conference for the next few days. Available to sporadically log in.
My playtime on EFU isn't going to be the same, I'll still be around when I can, training for qualifiers for a 40,000 dollar tournament on AoE4. Wish me luck everyone, competition is fierce but I've spent the better part of a year on this game.
https://youtu.be/SnNqECIPMo8
Will take break for a week to do some non efu related stuff.
Hi all- I need to step away for a few weeks for family related reasons. Have fun!
I hope everything turns out well, Dan. Take care buddy.
It's good to be home. <3
Okey
I definetly need take a break
Sorry guys but this player is again getting too toxic in many ways and i'm acting in frustration too much, i believe my recent discord behavior showed this... and i know how this will end like ended before with me doing something stupid and i would like avoid it .
I know i sed a lot of times i was going take a break and then be back 3 days later but i hope this is not one of such times, i will try take some time in peace and return next year with a more positive gaming behavior
I'm pariculary sorry for who had to souffer my inraging ooc and IC
Farewell
Hey all.
I regret to inform you that I am unable to play due to serious health issues. I am retiring Imogen from play and I apologize to all of you who were friends with her. I enjoyed playing her but it is not fair to leave everything hanging like this. I am not sure when I will be back; it may be weeks or even months.
Hope all is well with everybody. Take care.
Hey.
A grandparent of mine was just put into hospice. EFU is too brutal for my headspace rn so I'll be taking a break until jan.
Currently Playing Atalia.
Over the past decade of writing stories together the creativity and passion of this community has been a highlight of my days. I cannot express the comfort and joy that you've all provided for me, and the influence that you've had in shaping my life. EFU has been more than my favorite game: It's my favorite story, my side project at the office, and the source of many of my friendships. I would not be the person that I am today if it weren't for this community. You've been a second home to me for a third of my life and I will always treasure the time we spent here together.
There has always been something wonderful that is unique in EFU, and throughout the years I have always felt compelled to advocate for preserving the things which made this place so magical to me. Even when we had creative differences in our community I felt that we shared an understanding that we were working on the same team toward that common goal. EFU hasn't felt like that to me for a very lengthy time. I apologize if it seems that I have been overly critical, antagonistic, or unappreciative here in the past. It has been with the best of intentions. It is my fondest wish that the magic continues to live here for you all, who have made these years so special to me. Farewell.
Taking off for a +- week.
Leaving to visit family, will be back next week around Wednesday. Have fun gamers! ;D
I have returned but now I am handling IRL shit, hope to be playing again in the next week or so! :D
UPDATE: Going through some big life changes, gone for a while, feel free to keep in touch on Discord.
Personally just finding only frustration in v6 right now. I'll try again later.
Will be out Mon-Sun this week, heading back home to see family. Nadiri Stern is busy researching in the Tower.
Going to be out of town for a week beginning Wednesday. I'll probably have Discord access and some limited playtime but not like normal.
I've been thinking and I don't feel it any more. Combination of frustration and annoyance. Will take a break indefinitely.
I think I will take a break I emoted leaving a note behind then it gets deleted. Before being FDED I mentioned said note. DMS for whatever reason deleted the note.
Oh and people love to make their stupid OOC cliques that defy what is IC you all can be boring and have your server without me that is all.
Taking off EFU for a bit.
Back.
April has been an abject onslaught with the wyrm chaos into the election madness and a big push to get everything "Squared" in game of the new regime.
As DMs are tweaking bugs with the Stele and a bunch of in game power has been thrown around to boost up others, It's time for a lil break.
Sol Auk is away on ambassadorial works in Ynis Eilir, back in 3-5 days.
Forum letters will be answered as needed but we got the wheel turning, so it's my turn to ease off the throttle a bit lol.
Starting tomorrow, I won't be on efu nearly as much as I have been the past few weeks. Got a new job that's going to put me well past even my old play hours. I'll still be available on 2 select days of the week and make an effort to keep tabs via the forums/discord, but otherwise you should assume I'll scarcely be on most days.
Chapter 6 has certainly been something ;D
Similar to EON, my absurd play times will be dying down, as I'm switching jobs. We'll see if I can bum as much, but i doubt it.
For now, back in 3 days..
V6 certainly is something!!
Not switching jobs but I'm also gonna be around less frequently, at least for the next couple of weeks due to handling RL stuff (marriage and marriage-related family visits!)
Small update to my play schedule. Previous post adjusted accordingly.
Due to some minor health problems, I will again be available regularly on Sands of Intrigue for a time.
Taking short break from the game, Zvada should be back after weekend.
Going to take a little break. See you all in a bit!
Toleigh Castal will be back on the 22nd.
I'll be back Tuesday morning-- out of town with limited efu access.
I'm probably taking an indefinite break. As much as I'd like to play and do things, I'm finding I'm forcing myself to do it, and it's not helping my stress going into the last week of the University semester and with exams coming. It isn't fun if I'm trying to force myself to go from point a to point b.
I find myself chasing a high that isn't going to come. Thanks for everything, love you all!
This is my overdue apology for having a public breakdown and offending a lot of my friends and/or cowriters here.
I've put it here with my "I'm Back" post so as to not make a scene about it.
Some of you more than others are owed a personal apology, and I'll hear anyone out who wants to make their feelings heard, in PMs.
I know "let's move past it" is a pretty selfish position for the offender to take, but I think it's the best approach here.
Sorry for being me. More specifically: I'm sorry for being ableist, obnoxious, and egotistical. I'm sorry for spoiling the fun and betraying confidences.
Hey Friends,
I know what Gip says, that people writing farewell posts usually will be back pretty soon, but I doubt it will be the case with me, since my life has turned upside down over a span of last month, with a lot of stacking problems, job change, major health issues and more, so after giving it a serious degree of consideration, I decided to pull the EFU plug indefinitely, and since I dropped off EFU Discord to not get tempted, feel free to reach out if you ever want to talk in a PM.
I want to thank everyone in the community (DMs and Players alike) for (wow) 14 years of outstanding and captivating storytelling, tears of joy and laughter, and a whole plethora of emotions as a result of the wonderfully talented beautiful minds that made this place possible.
You are all wonderful people. Please, be gentle and understanding to each other (players and DMs alike) even when things get heated. You never know who's sitting on the other side of the screen and what they have gone through.
Love you all and thanks for everything,
SN
After a bit of a hiatus and a pretty happily satisfactory end to my prior PC I am feeling a lot more energized and motived for EFU and a new PC. The playing once or twice a month should be behind me for a while 8)
Hey, I'm stupid and have been locked out of my discord account for like 2-3 weeks. If you messaged me during this time I promise I'm not ignoring you. :-[
If you need to get in touch I made an alt, Wench (Busted)#0126
I hope everyone is having fun efu'ing it up! ;D
My availability will be sparse for the next ten days or so. I'll be checking the forums though!
I'm going to be taking a n extended break from EFU for an undetermined time. I will be back, but right now Diablo 4 has captured my attention. Also, IRL has been a real pain in the ass with work. Sorry to my fellow scribe(s)!!
I'm leaving due to bullying from Abala. Anyone with self-respect should consider the same. Is this how you want to spend the days you have left?
Taking a break along with Midnight Minuet and Dopson (the players of Shamsa Sarim and Tormod Redmane, respectively). Haven’t decided how long exactly but probably a week or two. Might log in once to wrap up some things but we’ll see.
Cutting down my play time for a while.
I'll be away from Thursday-Sunday.
I, and by extension Mari, will be out of town Sunday-Wednesday. Might pop on in evenings a little and be on disco/forum but, largely, on vacation
After 20 years on and off on EfU, I've decided it's time to pack it in and move on. I'd like to thank everyone who made those years memorable and adventurous; intriguing and exciting; and above all, fun.
I'll keep around on Discord if anyone ever wants to chat or catch up.
Otherwise, my best wishes.
My laptop has chosen this moment in time to take the big sleep. Timing couldn't be worse for many reasons (not only EFU) and it may be a while before I'm back in-game, since it's looking like I'll need to get a replacement. I'll still be around on Discord but much less for the moment.
Out of town for a few days starting tomorrow :)
19 to 26 july i will be in greece on holiday # Sadiki Khepri
Taking a short efu break, i'll be back in a couple weeks though.
I notice efu discord gives me stress. So i will leave it. If u need me just add 'dabase'
on a cross-country move: will be gone anywhere from 3-8 days!
accessible over forums for letters for IC stuff on salvatore, just no PC
Sadiki Khepri and most Bashmu-Boyz are back this saturday
I will be out of town from Wednesday 8/2 to Sunday 8/6.
Recent events have given me pause to consider, and I'll be retiring amenya and away from efu until further notice.
Have fun, y'all.
Quote from: Mari on July 08, 2023, 09:25:56 PMI, and by extension Mari, will be out of town. Might pop on in evenings a little and be on disco/forum but, largely, on vacation
As above but this coming Monday-Friday.
Out of town for the weekend.
Out Friday & Saturday
Playing Eamon Bronzegate at the moment! Rl is calling me away until Wednesday.
Probably going to be in game a little less frequently for a little while due to RL stuff.
Will try to get on when I can, and you can poke me on discord if you'll need Aaisha for something and I'll try to be around for it.
Going to be fairly inactive for a little while.
I'll get the bug again at some point.
Gonna be away this Friday and Saturday. Then same thing the following weekend, except I'll be gone on Sunday too (Oct 13–15).
Going to the store to grab some milk but I'll be back -Unfie
While I've tried a little to get back into things after Mari's death, it is pretty hard. In many ways her story is continuing, but now without her and, by an extension, without me. References and reminders of times were and what I'd rather be doing are unavoidable.
I know what I want to play but I can't play it anymore, so I think I should find other distractions for awhile. At least until the feels fade some. I'll be on discord if you want to chat.
-Ramc
I'm going to be travelling. My access and play time is going to be patchy for the next couple of months.
Gone for a few days!
Taking a break for a little bit.
hello boys i'm back
- independence day
Going to be out of town through the weekend
I'll be gone for a few days.
nevermind i return
Work week starts tomorrow and then I leave for a wedding on the 11th. Will be back on 18/19th. Might bring my laptop during the trip otherwise Arnock will like be face deep in paper work and likely only available to respond to letters if you have business with him
Taking a break for a few days to focus on work.
me back, destroy server
Back a bit more, but still super busy IRL
A bit less availible this month, due to arrival of various deadlines. Do feel free to contact on forum/discord tho and I can try to fit something!
Gonna take a break for a few days. If you see Eamon's body at the graveyard, just assume he's in the care of mendicants.
Barring any new technical issues, I'm back.
My time in game for next week or two may be minimal to zero due to Christmas and IRL stuff and some other cool stuff to do for server.
Essays delivered, vacation mode engaged. More availible once more! :D
Out likely until Sundayish when I'm back in town after attending a funeral.
I have had a fairly massive life event (all for the best) that will keep me from being active for awhile. I'll still try to get on from time to time but my general availability will be severely limited!
Real Life is once again really limiting my play time.
I'll be on on occasion, but if you Specifically need Aaisha for anything reach out via forum letter or discord and I'll try to make myself available for it.
Going to take a break from discord and the server for a week or so , just a heads-up for people involved with Evander/ waiting on portraits
Thanks for the ride boys. Really enjoyed my time here.
For sanity sake im going on a break for about or two depending how works lines up. Arnock will likely be still reachable via forums for the most part with about how 50/50 that I check them
Hi guys
So, I decided to leave Efu... no i'm not be banned again, no i'm not dead despise your desires, I simply do not like this chapter.
DMs did a great job as always for make it is not saying is bad or anything, is just not for me, I tried to make me like it, but i just dont.
If the server chapter end or I get informed of some big change that may give me interess once again i will return, but until then i prefer spend time on other things.
Thank you guys
Thank you DMs
Sages guide you.
I will be wrapping a few things up in the coming days and then be taking an indefinite break.
A certain bandit is gone until monday (weekend away from keyboard).
Due to a number of reasons, I am finding it difficult to keep having fun on EfU. The issues are not in my power to resolve. And so, I will be moving on.
But I did have fun. There are a few players in particular who contributed to that... you know who you are. Thank you.
Lost the spark
probably be back
idk
will be out over friday-the weekend
I'll have limited access from the 12th to 26th March
Bandit Darian Darstan is semi-active a while because I have a crippling Helldivers 2 addiction.
EFU is feeling more job than fun lately, taking the week.
Busy, will be trying to stay logged off until next Wednesday. If you see me, I've failed.
taking the weekend off! back after that!
Gone till April 5th for Easter and a busy week after, taking a little break to focus on other things, Diadys can be reached by letter and I can find the time to reply there
Going to be gone 5–9th of April due to folks visiting from out of town.
Unavailable on the 3rd, 4th, and majority of the 5th as away on a works conference.
Taking a few days due to Illness, Please don't start any more wars while I'm gone
I am taking some time for self-reflection.
hello EFU, I am about to go on a two week trip! expect my activity from the 4th onward to be severely limited for awhile.
Due to academic and professional commitments, starting April 8th I will have greatly reduced availability, although not none, for the following 6 weeks. The first 3 weeks will be the worst, the remaining 3 should be somewhat better.
Will be unable to log on until Sunday evening at the soonest.
Update: gone until Monday evening at the soonest
Not going to be available on Saturday/Sunday night. Should be more available the following week.
Out of town for the next few days.
Notifying ahead of time that Nathaniel Blackvale is offline this saturday and sunday because of UntzUntzUntz Partytime.
