My suggestion is for the DMs and PCs to take a vacation for a few days.
But seriously, burn out factor may be on the rise. There are tons of things going on IG. Also I've seen numerous PCs killed off here recently. I suggest take some time, be it an hour of meditation or a few days some place fun.
TAKE A VACATION!!!
I'm doing this.
PC's dying out is natural in EFU!
If you feel like the game is stressing you out, sure.
If it's not, then EfU might as well be your vacation.
I'm like that! EFU;A is like balsam for my soul. :)
I have a rather stressful job, and I quite like having a bit of stress and a few problems that I at any moment can dismiss by reflecting over how utterly insignifcant, to my general well-being, it reallys is to lose XP, a denoter for fictional experience, to a fictional character's fictional death. A day that I can afford to worry about this is a really good day.
People who need a vacation from EFU;A remind me of that Jim Carrey stand up: "Don't you just hate when you have a threesome with two models and the least gorgeous one whispers in your ear: "Save it for me!"
