Alot of you wont know me, or even care to know me for that matter.
But i was a hardcore player of the server for a short burst of time, and to my downfall i have a severe case of OCD with certain aspects of things.
To cut a long story short, i basically rage-quit everytime one of my good characters died to the extent of me uninstalling the game thinking it brought me more unpleasant experiences then positive ones.
I was, in fact, wrong. This is a beautifull game and this server/website really does keep it fresh for everyone it is almost like a book that you interactivly write yourself and i enjoyed every minute of it.
So i just wanted to say, i'm back with a cool head and a different state of mind and ready to start playing again soon as i'm installed and i advise anyone (if there is anyone else that is) to chill and enjoy the game if your new like i was.
p.s Please excuse my spelling, and to the community, i love you all for giving me such a great experience on here.
Been there, done that, completely agree.
Welcome back.
I've far too many times done things in the heat of temper that I would never have done in a saner state of mind. Welcome back and I wish you good luck this time around.
Hah! Cool. Rage-quitting EfU is like a rite of passage. Even the DMs do it sometimes.
DMs do it all the time.
Besides, it'd only be a rite of passage if you had to do it at least once to become a good player, and then would never do it again.
Even the best players ragequit sometimes. It's very natural, and understandable. You just shouldn't let it affect your lasting enjoyment of the game.

DERFLARO SAID SOMETHING NICE, AHAHAHA, WHAT A LOSER
One of EfU's finest players (TheNaga) has ragequit more times than any man, and he is more beloved than any other man.
It is just something that people do.
Haha well i'm glad to know i'm not the only one, thought i just had hefty anger problem or something.
Until you start smashing glasses and screaming "fookin' coonts" across microphones. You do not have an anger issue.
Just a small bit of advice from an old, old EfUer.
There's a difference between the game and the community. Most of the community is pretty chill. #EfU main channel is a terrible place to see that, as it's filled with our most vitriolic trolls, know-it-alls, and downright haters. So, in the position you are in now, my best advice is to join a group, particularly a DM faction. Let me elaborate further.
EfU is very much a community, developed far beyond most internet communities for dozens of reasons, but first and foremost because everyone here likes to hear, see, and LIVE amazing stories in our little sandbox world. Even more unique to our community is the duality of it-- the character and the player level. Being able to cleanly detach from one to the other is challenging, hence we get so pissed when our characters are crushed by great misfortune. Yet it's something we must do-- and the community helps.
I imagine that most people have either emotionally separated themselves entirely from their character or they've done my favorite thing-- talk to people about the story that happened! Talk about the good times, talk about the silly times, or bitch about the bad times if you've got someone who will listen.
This brings me back to my first point. Join a DM faction. It's an immediate way to interact with both players and characters. Spend some time in their IRC channel. Find someone, inside or outside of the faction, who you can talk too about neat story ideas to follow, things you'd like to see happen (downfall of Trenada? ascension of a new Stargazer-led coalition on the island against Count Senespur? whatever!). Let the enjoyment of community storytelling and the story itself overwhelm those minor frustrations about one story ending in a way you wish it hadn't. That's the rub, EfU at it's finest. You may still get frustrated, but clearly, everyone does from time to time and yet we all come back for more because it's worth it.
