Hi! Though EfU has been going strong for over eight years, new players seem to find their way to our doorstep, looking for adventure. While our community is well established, we are always happy to welcome new members and want to ensure that they are warmly received and given every opportunity to find their niche in the vast Underdark.
We understand that getting yourself involved in a new community and new game world can be a daunting enterprise, especially in the unforgiving environments of EfU:R. However, our members, both DMs and Players, are more than willing to do their part to help integrate you into the community.
First, we need to know that you are here! Many of our players use alternate GSIDs when creating new characters, so seeing a new handle in the game is not a tip off that the player is new to the server. So we ask you to take a moment and introduce yourself here in this thread. Let us know the GSID/handle you are going by in game and we'll keep an eye out for you.
Also, feel free to let us know if you find something particularly challenging or if you have questions.
Welcome to EfU:R and we hope you find many exciting stories here with us!
GSID: Aurintheas
IRC: Lira
Character: Ananfel Alanuil
Looks like I'm starting this off. I'm Lira, migrating in from NWN2 on the recommendation of a few friends who play here. Currently playing Ananfel, a young "civilian" sun elf wizard who's fallen in to the adventuring lifestyle in a misguided attempt to avoid dealing with the troubled relationships (//%22http://www.efupw.com/forums/showthread.php?t=84285%22) he's brought with him to Sanctuary. I'm still settling in to the character and the setting, and the controls and UI are really giving me trouble after playing NWN2 for years, but I'm slowly getting the hang of it. Current plans include an application to the Society at some point â€" and thanks to Maldread for giving me a hook there - but I'm keeping my options open other than that.
My playing schedule is irregular but tends to be in the afternoons and evenings Pacific time. I work from home so I'm idling in IRC all day if anyone needs to contact me.
Welcome! Feel free to send tells to Toras Bines, my current char, with any questions you have. The learning curve here is very steep and I think I or many others may help if asked.
Hi Lira! I'm not the most active player around, but I'm also willing to help out if there's anything you need. I'm currently playing Wesk, who just so happens is an Ordinant of the Society, so if you want a chat about the faction, or need anything else, just toss me a tell. :)
Hi!
if any of the new players have any questions regarding the setting, need a mechanical advice etc, find me on IRC - I use it at work, where I can't actually play the game.. too much time on my hands!
Welcome to EFU and enjoy.
GDID: Trout Man
Character: Jack Silver
I just started this character a little while ago, and I'm already really enjoying this server. I love the idea that the player's actions can change the face of the server, and have done so for at least three distinct points in time. I'll see you all in the dark!
Welcome. I'll keep an eye out for you OOC to help you out of you need it (and handle it in an IC manner). My current PC is Tobit Azrander. Send a tell if you need help with anything.
Thought I'd introduce myself too,
I played NWN and DnD back five years ago; however, got busy and didn't play! Randomly went on nwnvault to see what's new with it and saw that Border Kingdoms PW and thought it was a perfect time to start up again. Unfortunately, that didn't last long and since then I was told to come here! I like the level of polish of everything, it's very well done. I'm mainly lurking around figuring everything out!

Character: Brath Crownswood
A good number of us popped over to explore the Border Kingdoms server when it came out. Was a pretty nice idea wasn't it? Welcome to EFU ^^ You might recognize some familiar logins and if there are ever questions or concerns just ask.
Rejoice, for Mauléon was under tyranny, then by the grace of God in Heaven she did breathe deep the sweet air of freedom and piety.
Good to see you!

Character: Dorvin Whitecastle
Hurro, folks. I've wandered here to try this server out after hearing good things about it from a fellow named Valo.
Been roleplaying for two years on NWN and most of my time I've spent on PotM and more recently; Contrition. Also tried out Border Kingdoms for the short time it was up. Shame it went down as it had nice potential.
As for my character Dorvin.. He's an out-for-himself type mercenary character from Sespech.
I might not be online as much as I'd like as I've got real life and other commitments to worry about, but nevertheless I'm looking forward to roleplaying with you fine chaps.
Tervetuloa! I believe you're the fourth Finn on the server :D
GSID: jzhmer, efu-*-mjkr;
My EFU experience began with a Lathanderite priestess that probably goes as far back as EFU-1/2. I skipped over shortly after. However, it is only years after that I began a comparatively more immersive EFU experience. Those of my characters that endured longer would include someone who was caught throwing a flask of alchemist fire towards Zoe Lisette during her speech in the Mistlocke square, a Helmite avenger who died alongside Joeseph Ironside in reversing the curse upon Anti-Mistlocke, and an elven engineer who perished in the last march of the Mistlockians on the threshold between the deeper Bogs and Shylae's tower.
This account is made given the lasting amicable experience between various EFU players, as well as the "generally peaceful" server experience. I hope this account would deepen my involvement in the community and serves to ease the means of communication.
The Jazzhammer has finally joined the forums!
Hello.
I'm Moonlighter.
I come from a MUD and WoW roleplaying background, and have some friends trying to convert me to EFU. I'll be testing the waters as soon as I get a new key from GoG.
Howdy, I'm rodomontade. I played a lot of single-player NWN a few years ago but I never really played a lot of multiplayer. I've been DMing a 3.5 tabletop game for the last few months but I've really been itching to be a player again, so I'm hoping EFU can fulfill that need.
I play Cromwell White, a well-intentioned (if naive) watchman-turned-mercenary. He really, really likes his new orange cloak.
As you should. It's super safe! Don't listen to what other people say, keep it on at ALL times.

From which MUD you come from?
In as Abala Quickfeet, (halfling, natch) paladin of Tyr. Hi!
Woah a halfling paladin. Hope to meet it ^^ For some reason there aren't very many. (*coughbonusfeatandskillhumansupremacycough*)
Quote from: MaimedGod;360158In as Abala Quickfeet, (halfling, natch) paladin of Tyr. Hi!
I
love your character.
I am extremely impressed with the new players that have introduced themselves in this thread. They have been playing really well IG.
We have around 6 or 7 brand new, really good players, and I suggest everyone seeks them out IG because they're really great.
Hey folks,
Not really a new player here. But I haven't been on this server in awhile and I thought I'd give it another go with the new chapter.
I played a bit in Mistlocke (sp?) and waaaaay back during escape from underdark.
As always I see a few familiar names and hopefully I can stick around a bit.
Character name is Bethany Downes.
Cheers!
GDID: Condescending Dogma
Character: A'tas Zidan
Hello. I believe I attempted to play here many moons ago when it was still Escape from the Underdark. Prior to that I played on countless NWN servers since the game came out. I've been out of the roleplaying scene for the past few years and decided I wanted to give it another go. Hopefully I'll see you in-game soon.
Hi, I'm Tratzel. Been here a couple days, playing Darius Arnson. Pretty cool so far.
Well, I started playing today as Leland Bordalf, probably played for around 6-7 hours straight and then for a couple hours after that.
I bloody love this server, and I just have gotta thank Petey512 for introducing me here from Arabel.
Welcome to all of the new players. New players, please let me know if there are any long standing players that particularly take you under their wing or show you some things that really stand out to you.
Long standing players, take that how you will...

VengefulSeraphim really got me into EFU, and it wouldn't have been the same without him.

Petey512, VengefulSeraphim and Frenzied have made this really enjoyable for me.
... I should mention Ironside and wundy too, have been especially helpful.
The players of Aldric, Alturiak, Constance, and Zsigmond have been pretty darn cool
Hello! Played a week and tried to make a forum account but something bugged so couldn't activate but here I am (thx snoteye), as requested on irc I'd introduce myself ^^
Former CoA player, been there for a year before I got turned off by the little intrigue they had and even before that was told to come to EfU by ppl who visited coa a few times.
For now I'm trying to get used to the new stuff like mechanics and all so take good care of me :D
Character in game: Acrion
Hi,
passing by to see what this PW is about. Seems quite challenging from an RP point of view...
As per the mechanics, is any of those who know me (or some unknown benefactor) happy to help?
Cheers,
Almadyr
Pop into the chat! #efu on Darkmyst (http://darkmyst.org/?page=webchat). Always plenty of people willing to explain (and argue) mechanics in there.
Heyooooo. I have found my way into this place through a friend that I have followed to various RP communities and am looking forward to seeing what this is place is all about! I have heard some good things and I hope to see them come true!
I started RPing a few years ago in WoW and have since moved onto to other RP servers and tabletop RPing, mostly D&D 3.5 so the mechanics of NVN should hopefully still be familliar. :B
Anyway see you soon in-game, I suppose. Ta-ta.
Welcome to EFU!
There's a bit of a learning curve but once you get the hang of it there's no better RP community!
Just made my first character. It's a fat dwarf so no hate-crime puh-please :(. Moved here from CoA as I was told this was the place to be. Had several characters and accounts there when I used to play so I wont list them. Other than the experience I got from there, I've no DnD experience whatsoever, but I'm a willing student ready to watch and learn!
See you in game!
A lot of new players recently, really good news! Welcome to this amazing thing that is EFU!
Tremor, just a friendly heads up, I've seen your character IG, and his name might be troublesome to this server. Here's a couple of posts that might help you understand what I mean

Hi there. Ive come from the server A Land Far Away which slowly but surely sapped my will to continually log in. One of your members has been singing y'alls praises for quite a while now so I reckon its time to give it a go here. Ive only ever played on that server and on a server called TRS which was a LoTR-based server.
I am looking forward to virtually swinging a great big sword for great justice in the slaying of many dagrons and other terrors.
Welcome to EFU! Don't hesitate to ask for help if you need anything! Players and DMs alike are glad to render aid. :)
Hello All....
Newcomer to the server (or verrry old returner from chapter one) Whichever you prefer. Played a long time back, went to CoA played for awhile, got busy, went back got bored, went back for the reset annd realized why I kept leaving. :/
Anyways, plenty of RP background, just getting my feet wet right now, have almost no clue whats going on... so thats why I made Calandel, he's a scout/explorer/wayfinder... It fits with a concept of somebody having no clue and wants to find out. :p
Anyways find me IRC alot or IG.
Welcome aboard. Seen some of you new guys around already and I am very happy to see people with nice attitude looking to challenge and enjoy themselves in our setting.
Hey..
New to the server and for RP. Agord is my first character, A huge expereinced evil warrior that brings violence everyplace he goes.. I hope that i play him correct with the five barons ;p, seems like fun so far =]
See ya in game, still rookie for the forums etc.. =]
Hello all! I'm new to the server, but I've been playing NWN since about 2005.
Currently, I'm playing Imran--hopefully he will survive long enough for me to continue playing him!

Hey! I'm a new-comer to EFU from COA, Just checking in.:)
Your flavor is weak and your kungfu is poor EFU. But that's okay we can fix that ^_^
I'm not exactly a new player anymore, but I've stuck around long enough I feel that I should start to have a more active presence on the forums, so...
Hello there! I play Wayfinder Llewellyn Adenroth. I've been really enjoying the server so far, even though at first some of the policies rubbed me the wrong way. It's really grown on me, however, and both the community and the roleplay environment are phenomenal. I look forward to playing with you all for some time.
Salutations,
I've been lurking about for a while now. Recommended the server by a couple pals and finally decided to commit to the EFU experience. Soooo, Hello!
RP background is a muddle of NWN1, NWN2, and various DM/Player pnp sessions in dark basements. Unfortunately the majority of it has rarely touched on 'proper' Forgotten Realms, so I'm very behind on the lore when it comes to EFU. Dropping into the setting where there has been so much great roleplaying, coupled with the expansive FR and EFU lore has been pretty intimidating, but equally exciting. Very much looking forward to playing with the lot of you!
GSID: Blackwind, or some variation.
Character: Macumber/Tarbern.
Hey BlackWind, The Samophlange, KungFuPoptart (loved your Sanctuary gin review), TheSpooky, Slimo. Good to have you all :D Hope you enjoy.
My in-game handle is Gracken; /tp me if you need help with anything. Also, if you're having a little trouble gaining traction, you might want to /tp the PCs around you that you're new. I think they'd put some extra effort into helping you get situated.
Cheers!
we got a newbie soup here and I wasn't served?!
bring me a plate!
Hello, all.
Been in and out for a couple of years without any serious characters (as in, a characters played longer than two days), but hoping to change that this time around. My timezone is not conducive to the "peak" hours, but the graveyard shift players seem numerous enough to get some action going on.
Hope to see you all in game, been playing Taern Selman for the last couple of days. I must say, I'm deeply impressed with the attention to detail and care taken to make the gameworld truly alive, by the entire community.

EFU is definitely the most late-night friendly server I've played on.
Hello all. I've recently started playing here after playing on another NWN server for quite some time. I've got to say, I love the atmosphere. Very welcoming, friendly, and people are generally willing to answer any questions you have/show you around. Been a great start, and loving the RP so far.
Hello good peoples. Friendly neighborhood noob here to greet you all. I'll be lurking IG over the next few days as soon as I get a solid concept prepped. I've heard some interesting things about this server, and it sounds like a good time.
Cheers. c:
Welcome to the server guys!
To all our newer players, welcome to EFU:R! Feel free to contact myself or any of the other DMs on the staff in IRC or via PM here on the forums if you have any questions.
Seems a regular flood of new players. Played for awhile back when it was Escape from the Underdark- But didn't really accomplish anything of note. Been a couple years and wanted to check in and try a new char.
See everyone IG.
Welcome back!
Welcome new/returning players! I'm new here aswell, having been around for only a little over a month. I played during Mistlocke but didn't have that much time to play back then. I play as Luciana Vella, feel free to find me in-game if you need help or want to roleplay, I actually enjoy talking about the server with other new players and hopefully help them decide to stay! For me this is the most interesting server out there and that's saying quite a bit since NWN has a couple very good servers to play on, each amazing in their own right but EfU caters to my preferences the most. Very good community too, hope you enjoy yourselves! =)
Welcome and looking forward to interacting with you all!
Played in EfU at v1. After that returned to CoA.
And now I'm back! Hoping to find some good stories. I thought the best way to get myself back to playing would be to start out with a minion. So, who's out there needing a minion, bad or good for their story? Hit me up with a PM yo!
...I just noticed this thread.
Hi! Introductions, introductions, let me see...
My current main character is Narvis Naerfaine, and I am generally haphazardly active as I juggle RL matters with EFU.
For those who are curious, I come from the Republic of Singapore, suffer from being primarily in the Oceanic Time-zone, and have Chinese as my first language, with English as my second. I am very much impressed by the EFU community and my experiences thus far, and look forward to many more plots, much more conflicts and all sorts of entertaining joy and laughter with you folks.
New player of Ilija Lupin here. I'm very impressed by the EFU world so far - the interactions I've had with players & DMs have all been top notch.
Looking forward to more, see you all in-game!
Brand new player as well! I play Sumah Askantet, and... well, there is not much to say. I like EFU? :D
We also like EfU! Perhaps we will be friends. Welcome!
Welcome! Hope you enjoy your stay.
Hello! I'm new here, playing a character by the name of Tahriah. I'm a native of rp servers on nwn2, so coming from there to here is proving to be most confusing. >_<

As a fellow NWN2 refugee, I feel your pain. Oh god give me my hotbars back.
To ease the pain of the new interface, I strongly recommend the UI mods in this thread (//%22http://www.efupw.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23789%22).
Hooray overrides! Thank you.
And also thank you to everyone who I've met so far in game, and have been very helpful. It's very much appreciated!
Cat, PM me here or in game if you have any questions about getting started here. There is a ton of stuff to learn and it can be overwhelming.
Additionally, if you find my character in game again we can pick up where we left off, I had hoped to give you a bit of a tour in-character and explain some of the OOC stuff along the way.
Hi there! I, like Cat, am a NWN2 refugee fleeing that barren wasteland. I never played NWN back when it released though, so it's all quite new to me!
Thanks to the folks who've been helpful OOCly so far, and thanks to the guy who poked me about blocking others out of the mushroom quest. D:
Welcome everybody :)
Hello folks, I play Hamir Huntsman, been snooping around for a while, and just now made a forum account.
I went through a bunch of new characters just to get used to the game (some of those died in the hardcore prologue, haha)

Welcome to all new and returning players.
If you're a brand new player and are finding yourself very frustrated with your inability to survive in EFU's harsh and difficult world, please contact myself or another DM to get a little extra mechanical help.
It may also be worth reaching out to others here or privately to get some general advice about survival and mechanical success in EFU/NWN.
hi, i started on this server a few months back, took a break, and now am coming back with a couple of friends. Two of us made our debut last night, causing a bit of a scuffle as my druid didn't understand why everyone was freaking about her bear companion. We will be hoping to play as a small party maybe 2 or 3 times a week.
Just wanted to say thank you to Archie's player for an awesome time last night! That was our group's first time through those particular dungeons and it was great fun.
Sup. I started playing because a bunch of people I know from Dragoncoast and Legacy and Wake and wherever the hell else are here. Persistent World junkies are inherently of suspect judgement but hey what the hell I thought.
Good times. What up.
Welcome all :)
Hope you'll like it here. If you have any questions about mechanics / settings / just want to talk, then I strongly recommend you join the IRC channel. Actually join the IRC channel regardless if you have any questions. We are a lovely bunch :)
not so lovely *glares*
Hello, new to server.. Came from CoA. Cant wait to see more from this setting...its really sexy.
Welcome- I'm currently logging in under the ID TheBoomKing. Hit me up IG if you need any help or advice or whatever.
Oh hey. Those of you from CoA probably know me in some form, But i thought i'd come over and give EfU a spin
Oh gawd it's Verk. Welcome Verk.
Oh god... This is going to be interesting
Hey. I'm a returning player, but I figured I'd pop in here. Have not played for over a year, so I'm looking forward to seeing the new faces. Current character is Marius Tallis.
oh... another paladin. time for dinner, pals!
Hi!
I played here shortly about a year or two ago for a few weeks (as the halfling Merrick Treetall) and I feel like giving EfU a shot again.
I will get in game in about a month's time when I am finished with my bachelor exams.
Looking forward to meeting you in game!
Hello there! I'm playing as Lucas Kaplan.
Been here a few days, still kind of exploring and finding my way around Sanctuary and it's immediate areas. Had a blast so far, even if I haven't interacted with a lot of characters. Took me a few tries to get through the Hardcore prologue (I realize this wasn't the best idea as a new player) but again, it's all been enjoyable and making it through the prologue and into relative safety has been great.
Looking forward to seeing you all in-game.

Hello all!
Heard about this server from a friend and the setting sounded awesome, so I went
and made a character (Marten Black) and been playing a few days now. Haven't interacted
with too many players yet but it's been fun so far so I think I'll be sticking around.
Looking forward to meet you all ingame, cheers :)
P.s If any of you are looking for a sort of minion character (Think Wizards
bodyguard/apprentice, Paladins squire, Bad guys rogue lackey) I'd be interested
in playing one, just PM me on the forum or catch me ingame if you have any ideas.
Welcome! Feel free to shoot me a tell if you have any questions.
Welcome WhiteRaven, I'm running a cult of Dagon if your interested in playing a cultist for such shoot me a pm.
Greetings,
I was suggested to try this game and server by a good friend of mine and so I did! I've only played for a few hours, but I thoroughly enjoyed them - though commitments in other places restrict my time.
I hope to meet some potential friends!
Welcome!
Lots of excellent factions for new players to get involved with.
Selfless promotion here, but try out the House of Healing if you want an easy introduction to the server. You'll have (nearly) everyone wanting you around and it's a great way to get introduced as people are prone to be inviting and accepting of HoH faction personnel :D

Been around for a week or so now. Thanks to all who allow me to bounce questions/ooc concerns off them IG and OOCly via IRC.
Hi, I am a new player to EFU. I have a friend who plays here and another who is just joinging as well.
I plan on playing a character named Vega,
he is an upstart barbarian who just loves to roll over people and smash things. slow on the intake and not verry dexterates but has that child like charm to make up for it.
Welcome to efu!
Welcome Osi and friend, welcome to your doom >:) (Jk, I think)
Oh, there will be doom alright, but I don't think it's ours you'll need to worry about.
Hi everyone! This will be my first true delve into the EFU universe. Please take care of me senpais. :D
Looking foward to having you here in efu!
Just saying hello
Hello everybody, I'm new to NWN and RP'ing. My friend has introduced me to the game and I'm happy to meet everybody, I'm still figuring things out and will need to take my time. hope to get along well with you all.
Hey everyone, was browsing the forums when I saw this thread...
So yeah, I'm new.. I played amia for awhile and played efu 1 years back... Just seeing how things changed, maybe stick around.
It looks like I'm here to stay for a while, so I might aswell introduce myself properly : Moonglow, I'm currently playing Garick Jard. the fellow had some interesting twists in his story with quite original characters recently, I'm looking forward to see where it'll go. See you in-game!
Hey, just started out today. Was looking around the NWNScry list, and noticed 30 people on a server I had never heard of, so I thought I'd look into it. Really enjoying the tone and theme of the server though, and low-level low-power is right up my alley. So as long as the story/plot catches my interest, I'd say you've got another player.
Be gentle with me as I get used to things. I'm another Amia player, which has a *much* higher power level. I'll prolly run through a few characters before I settle on one; Have any suggestions or co-concepts?

Welcome to the server!
If you're as new as you say I suggest sticking to a concept based in the main hub. (Upper), such as Watchers, Auxiliaries or another type.
Check the General Discussion - Groups and Factions subforum and see if you fancy anything!
Been playing for some days
Yes, I am a new player. I am currently quite inexperienced in role playing and hope that I can be forgiven some of my mistakes.
Currently playing the somewhat shy and clumsy gnome by the name of Merom.
I must admit that so far I'm loving the server, its very detailed and well made.

Welcome to efu, I too came from amia! Though that was nearly 4 years ago! Irc is one of the best tools for efu, if you hop on maybe have a chat as I would love to know how Amia is getting on.
Hello hello, played in th Hardcore Prelude event about a week ago but died near the end, thinking I'll try making a character again soon. If any of you are starting new concepts/characters and feel like taking a noob along. Do send me a PM ;)
Welcome to EFU!
No shortage of people looking for faction support and similar.
Feel free to swing by #EFU on IRC's Darkmyst Network if you use it.
Hello All!
My main chr is Rulenoff. He is a pure sorcerer and i'm just starting out. Ran into an Agent of the Spellguard and have been given 7 nights to improve my skills in hopes of joining their ranks soon.
Not sure which background I would like as a pure sorcerer yet, so I am open to any suggestions anyone may have as the list is vast.
It's been a great first day on the server!
Welcome! stick around and you'll have plenty of fun!
Greetings dwellers of the Underdark!
I've been lurking on the forums for about a week absorbing information and reading about the current events and ongoings. With my vacation just starting I think it's time I stop creeping around and make my first character. My only real experience with roleplay are pen and paper games, and I'm not too familiar with NwN mechanics apart from having finished the campaign about a month ago. So help with creating a character build would be appreciated :)
I'll be on the #EFU irc while I figure out what my character will be. Also interested in any group concepts that might be in the works, so feel free to PM me about that.
Cheers!
Hi liquidsonic is here!!
Hey im new to EFU! Was introduced to this game by a friend! I am loving it so far. It is up my alley. I am an avid DM for tabletops and have run a vary of games, unfortunately that leaves me lacking of a player experience for role playing games.
The EFU has given me a chance to play from a players perspective in a strange worldly sense. I love it and the immersiveness and the other types of characters I have met.
I orginally played a paladin for a few days but was unfortunately lead to his death by the directorate (reaaallly doubt I am the only one).
Now I play Jetson Aisengard who is a ranger and has an attituded inspired by wolverine ! (The kind of guy who is utter asshole and does good things at the same time hehe) I have had alot of fun playing him and seeing the strange friendships my character has developed! (Specifically with the strange purple spelluser?)
Must say thank you all for the chance to experience this game even if it is on a old game.
Hey guys, OuterSanc here. I'm new to EfU:R. I played a bunch of forgettable characters in the original EfU many years ago and a couple of mimic sorcs in EfU:M.
Been running around on my barbarian hunter Nsi exploring the server. EfU has -a lot- to offer. It can also be frustrating at times as getting involved in plots (or even figuring out what plots are going on) can be a bit difficult!
Really excited that some of the v1 EfU quests have been reintroduced. I'd love to find them for the nostalgia alone.
Also - I might be interested in a new concept if anyone is creating a group or joint concept and wants a minion.

Hey everyone! First time here trying one of EFU's Chapters. I've been hopping from shard to shard, hoping to find some place where I could just enjoy immersive storytelling experience and, thanks to a friend of mine, I've found EFU!
English is not my main language, therefore I beg you to have some patience and understanding for little ignorant me :).
I'm checking the forums to get all the informations I need before creating my character, as the setting looks both compelling and complex.
Welcome to EfU! Hope you settle in well and have fun.
Welcome, ThePreserver! Don't worry about that, many of us have English as a second or third language here. I'm one of them. Looking forward to see you IG!
Good luck
Welcome back, friend. I wish you to enjoy your time here. See you later in-game!

Hi, new to server. I have been reading over the forums and just downloaded the haks, it all looks really cool. I look forward to getting on.
Have seen some awesome new players IG recently. Welcome to you all.
Hello hello, new guy here coming from a casual roleplaying server. Planning to make my first character today or tomorrow and could use some help with builds/concepts, I'll be on IRC if you want to help, cheers.
Welcome aboard, enjoy the ride!
Hello~ A new player here. A friend recommended this little place for me to satisfy my RP addiction and here I am. Cannot waiting to get in-game.
Though I'm still looking for answer if my cd-key will allow me to get into server. Aka I have ancient version of NWN1 bought when it was all new so I hope the original box cd-keys are not banned?
Hello!
I'm really happy with this influx of new player - so many of you are very talented! If you need a hand with anything drop me a PM on IRC (Pentaxius) - or find me IG (Leopold Eckhardt) if you plan on playing a concept in "Lower Sanctuary"
Cheers and welcome!
QuoteThough I'm still looking for answer if my cd-key will allow me to get into server. Aka I have ancient version of NWN1 bought when it was all new so I hope the original box cd-keys are not banned?
Welcome Aluriena! If the cd key you have is originally yours and you never played on EFU, there should be no problems.
If you have any issues find myself or another DM on IRC or send me a forum PM.
We have not by default banned any old keys, only default provided keys by some providers such as GOG, that provide automated cdkey by default for everyone, unless they request unique multiplayer key.
All old and normal keys are your own and should work. I myself have always played with original nwn + two expansions and their cdkeys, all well and good.
Hey all, newbie here, waiting on the multiplayer key from GOG, but aside that, been looking over the information and documentation here.
big avid Roleplayer here, looking to try something new - i never managed to get into the persistent worlds much back when I originally owned NWN, as I was just a kid looking for quick fun.
But here I am, looking for adventure and roleplay :)
Welcome Rokal! Let me know if you have any issues.
Downloading the HAKs now, can't wait to get started. I've been roleplaying on NWN on and off for years, but I've started to get bored of flitting between the same old casual servers. Time for something new!
New player
Greetings!
I'm pretty much new to this setting but hopefuly I will learn fast and enjoy myself.
I am however not new to roleplaying and writing so that will most likely help me.
Been hearing good things about this place!
See you all in-game.
Welcome! Look forward to seeing and rp'ing with you in game.
Greeting to all old and new!
I'm a new player obviously, I am not new to writing and roleplaying however, I was invited to try this place out earlier today and I've been looking around, so far I am quite impressed.
I hope to see everyone in-game!
I am a potato.
I mean a cricket.
I mean I am Emperor Bur Bur of Antartica.
I mean I'm a new player. Some people told me about this place, and at first I was like, "but I only play NWN to kill things" and after reading a fraction of the things on this forum, I got hooked on this as much as my other favorite things that I've spent hours on. I am not new to roleplaying, but I am new to Neverwinter Night's multiplayer features. I've mostly played NWN's singleplayer campaign and a few overhaul mods (or whatever you call them), so if you see me in-game, don't be surprised to see me fumble and try to find out how to do this and that with the unique features both this mod and multiplayer has to offer.
Hello,
Though I'm no stranger to Roleplay, I am rather new to multiplayer servers on NWN. I look forward to getting into the thick of things within the server. I'm extremely interested in the server's lore and rping within the midst of it.
I must say, its quite the difficult choice on what sort of character I'd like to begin my next adventure on, with the near-endless choices available!
Welcome new players and old players! IF you have any questions, feel free to pop on #efu at Darkmyst.org , ask in the DM questions thread, or in game if appropriate!
Greetings, I am the great and mighty Strakk, and I have joined YOU (or well, this server, if I had joined you, you would be hearing me from the back of your head.) in pillaging for spoils of war, and other unspoiled loot if possible. Anyways, no stranger to RP, ERP'd in Goldshire since Cata, I know my stuff.
ez ok, eh?
Welcome you guys, contact me if you have any problems. And I'm curious where you all are finding us from!
Heya, I'm Xigo! I'm... a forever-DM when it comes to tabletops, and an ex-GM of a private WoW RP server. Introduced to here by Stranger, hopefully will be part of his prelude group run by Howland.
Will be making a paladin of Sune. Hopefully she won't die immediately.
Hi, just wanted to say thanks to Lurisien Alacris for welcoming me to Sanctuary. This seems like a very cool server and I am excited to play more as time permits!
Good to see so many new players!! We were all new once, so don't worry about fumbling around. I've been here years and I still fumble. :)
Hi I play Vintcant Goolic. The module is very well designed and very creative. I'm having lots of fun on the server and all the DMs and players were very friendly and inclusive from the get go. :)
Hello everyone. I am JMecha and some of you may know me from ALFA, though I suspect most of you do not. I have come to EFU looking for a good time.
Welcome to EFU both of you! There's a bit of a learning curve but I guarantee you'll find yourself a good time. Feel free to swing on by #EFU if you use IRC on the Darkmyst network and folks can help you out with any questions.
Hi all,
I'm Regas, also from Alfa, I've heard good things and I'm looking forward to meeting and RPing with you.
Hello everyone. Yet another ALFAn here looking for green pastures in NwN1. I look forward to meeting and RPing with you all.
Welcome JMecha, Regas and kmj2587 (and others of course). Looking forward to see this whole new Alfa group here.
Hi jmecha, kmj, and regas. The ALFA refuges are flooding in, seemingly.
Hello everyone! A friend told me NwN had a great roleplaying community and recommended this server.
I'm completely new to the game apart from having played abit of the campaign but I do have some experience with roleplaying.
I'd appreciate if one of you guys could help me start up a (group) concept, as I'm afraid I'll just fail to get anything done if I started by myself. So let me know if you feel like helping out or have a concept for me to join in with :D
Welcome :)
hello shadeefu! heres a quick run down for some of the groups. heres the link with descriptions of the dm groups: http://www.efupw.com/forums/showthread.php?t=81624 , for spellguard contact cmenden in game, watchers = myself, fitzwilliam, gentoftheempire, nina_milles, or hhean regularly. for Sojourners, contact dillusionist or one of the others ( don't know ooc myself), for society contact silknas/sankis, domare, dan, or pigadig. for stewards contact diz-e or BigX, auxiliarys contact Cap, scirveners = god1x, clerks = kiroy, for wayfinders contact tinfoilhat, condorhero, magister, frostbite, and or sinisterplank? for scrappers contact ryan1 when he's on, harbingers of doom contact lira when he's on, or alternatively any of the dms!
Also, there are purely player groups, found here - http://www.efupw.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=131 , they may be others as yet unnanounced but that should be the vast majority.
lastly, you can most likely find the majority of these people on #efu or their respective channels ( list here: http://www.efupw.com/forums/showthread.php?t=93162 )
Thats the majority of it, and welcome!
That's some helpful info, thank you TheShadow
Hi all, I'm also giving the EFU scene a try. Part of the same campaign group as Jmecha, Regas, KMJ where we're winding down something but looking to try a bit of a throwback here with what seems a super lively NWN1 project.
Cheers and thanks for the IG welcomes etc. already received, very friendly.
Hi All,
I'm an old EFU player who has been on and off for a few years now. I just came back a few weeks ago because I like the challenge of this world. I've only had one or two possibly memorable characters. But hopefully, I can create another with some work and luck!
Hey guys, I gues I should try to put a word here too.
I last played and tried efu when it was on surface and had this big pyramid type thing. Cool place, but I was in hectic life situation and couldn't appreacite the difficulty at the time.
Now with having tried Amia and some other small servers over time and mostly playing PnP, my friends goaded me trying efu, with the lasting numbers and underdark setting seeming really nice and I like the challenge and possibilities. Already trying to get involved and hopefully join one of the factions.
Hope to see you guys in game and hope I can keep about. I play from university so I at times have poor connection and I can't use many programs all at once.
Hey all, just a quick intro. I have played Efu1 and Efu2, but not 3 and happy to be here for the return to Sanctuary!
I am currently playing Birt Birtlebean. Howdy!
Welcome, welcome, welcome!
Hey folks o/
I'm Leve, and I come from a long history of PNP and over the last 5 1/2 years, nwn. My partner and I (hellwalker) have been nosing around as he's played some of the older incarnations of EFU and we've decided to give it a shot. Seems like I'm bringing my friend clarke as well, so I hope you'll all get some entertainment out of the three of us bumbling around ^^.
I've never played on a low level server before, so this will be a new dynamic for myself. Elsewise I'm an avid FR lore enthusiast, once having been aptly labeled 'lorewhore' (so it'll be interesting to see how this customish setting goes with my bookishness >_>). My NWN hobbies include altering portraits to be customized, and building, which I do for a long term server project of my own (hopefully nwn will still be around in 5 years when maybe we'll be done) and one of the other live FR servers. I love writing character histories, journals and the like, so hopefully some folks enjoy reading such things!
We're not quite in game yet, not sure what we'll play, but I'm looking forward to trying out a new world (especially since a lot of the systems look pretty neat) and meeting some new folks to tell stories with!
Cheers o/
Welcome to the server!
JOIN ME!
Hey EFU,
I'm new to the server and Neverwinter Nights RP in general, a friend recommended I give it a shot after I mentioned jumping around a few custom modules. I'm something of a lore buff after having dived into a couple dozen Forgotten Realms books over the last few years, and while most of it is negligible, I look forward to seeing whats been built on the server. I'll probably be stumbling about for a while!
Building a character seems to be a daunting process in this giant, alternative FR world, but I'm enjoying it thus far. I'll likely be around the web chat for a good chunk of time asking mindless lore questions so I can construct a character history that makes some modicum of sense.
Welcome to all, and don't worry too much about backgrounds. Any new player is more than welcome to PM me on IRC or on the forums if they have questions or need help. If you find the server too mechanically challenging at the start, we have ways to help.
Hi everyone.
NWN veteran, a charisma cleric for at least 4 years after the original NWN came out until the death of my favourite server Orb of Abrogation. Looking forward to creating a character. It feels splendid, to be back and kicking in NWN community.
Hey Unholyc! Welcome!
Who did you play on Orb of Abrogation?!
Quote from: Ashes of Athas;412452Hey Unholyc! Welcome!
Who did you play on Orb of Abrogation?!
I much doubt it was the same server. I used to play on Orb Of Abrogation Poland, back in the day. Can't recall the exact dates. Koe Yonaka, Cattiva's High Priest.
There was an Orb of Abrogation Poland?! Weird! I used to DM on the the english server, way back in the day.
Hello everyone, found this server, and its been pretty great so far. I invited two friends to play on this server, and while I have some RP experience both in other NWN servers and D&D, they are still relatively new to it, but they're trying hard, so any patience and help to myself and them is appreciated. I am Casimir Bolon in game. My friends usernames are spicwart, and Cryatonic. Thanks again.
Cinderion please feel free to join my mercenary company in Lower Sanctuary. We will help you start up, show you the ropes and hopefully make you have some fun!
Hi everyone. Dergon here. (Using GSID .... wait for it .... Dergon)
I just reloaded NWN1 after having abandoned it in 2008 when ALFA switched its servers to the NWN2 platform.
Now, some of us are starting to look back at NWN1 for some fun. I got the recommendation for this server as a potential place to both knock the dust off of my skills and get high quality RP.
I'm an old PnP tabletop player dating back to the 1970s. I turned to NWN1 in 2004 when my tabletop group fell to attrition from marriage, child-rearing, and general RL. I played on the Earthspurs server in NWN1 in the early years but have spent most of my game time over at ALFA from 2005 until now, using both the NWN1 and NWN2 platform.
I have been in game a few days now playing Dramish Thunderchild. { although he introduces himself as either Dramish of Jormunsalr (to non-dwarves) or Dramish of Clan Winterbeard (to kin). }.
I've already had a great deal of welcomed help from both the DM side and many friendly players.
Thanks for the warm welcome!
Hello to all you wonderful people!
Feel free to ask pretty much anyone if you've any questions!
I, myself, can be found here, as this <--
In IRC, as Jaenas,
Or In-Game, currently as Thorned Rose - Andalee Farida!
If I'm online, it's never a bad time.
If I'm not, I don't reply!
Simple as that.
Welcome to EFU, and do remember to have fun!
Welcome. If you're having a hard time with server mechanics, let me know. It's a very good time to play a dwarf right now, there are some cool player driven stuff going on. Find a dwarf to find out more. Haha.
Hello everyone! Some of you might recognize me in game as Dirchand! I quite like what I see of the server at the moment. It's challenging but rewarding and has a very high focus on role playing. I cannot wait to see what I can accomplish on here, and I hope to get you all involved!
Hello,
I'm sharkinajar, however some of you know me already as Weininda. Was introduced to EFU by a friend, and I have been enjoying it immensely.
Pleasure to meet you and I hope you enjoy your stay!
Hey everyone
Discovered NwN again while browsing GoG, and much to my suprise I saw there were still alot of active PW's out there. It's been forever since I last played this game or did any roleplay apart from some occasional dnd, so if any of could help me get back into it, by taking my character as a henchman or inviting me to a newly created faction, I'd really appreciate it.

Greetings! Recently moved in with a long time player of your server. He's talked this server up enough and piqued my interest. I hope to enjoy this server and what it has to offer, and hopefully offer a bit in return! I'm fairly new to roleplaying, but I believe the characters I've played as in D&D sessions have been enjoyable to interact with... ;P
If you see me in the next few weeks, chances are I'm just puttering about and might need a firm poking!~

Character: Bren Takrin
Hello everyone,
I used to play here back during chapter 2 when the server was taking place on the Archipelago. I stopped just before the transition to chapter 3 due to RL stuff. I have popped my head in every now and again, but have finally returned for a longer stay. I have enticed a friend of mine to join me in our adventure. My character goes by the name of Bren Takrin. I am still finding my way around and still working to flesh out his story a bit more once I get to grips with the direction the story has moved in.
I'm not a great Roleplayer as I tend to find my characters are a bit wooden but if anyone can give me some pointers when playing, I would really appreciate it. I do hope once my RP feet are a bit wetter, I can become a good and enjoyable part of the server. I used to play a character called Alveric Zerin back in Chapter 2 and was a part of the Bastion of Light if anyone remembers.
I love the direction the server has gone and can't wait to get all caught up in the ongoings of Sanctuary. Looking forward to meeting you all in game!
Hi everyone! I have met some of you IG and it is nice to see some fresh faces :)
Welcome!
Hey
Hi, im Draxil's friend that he enticed to play!
My Character name is Macros Irndol.
I have played alot of RPG's over the years, Baldurs gate 2 being one of my favourite... and wow... which was fun.. but all social aspects seem like they are dieing over there...
I had never Rp'ed before, so im just on my training wheels in that respect! But i have spent a good chunk of time reading your guides.
However my 1st night of RP... Was the best night gaming i think i had ever had... So thankyou Efu for that!
Me and Draxil decided at level three a couple of hours into the server that it was a bright idea to venture into the worm pits inside the city... upon discovering a quest down there we decided to give it a go...
i quickly ran out of spells and Bren/drax ran out of heal potions... upon seeing the next group of 5 Chosen. (which we struggled with the last two) we decided a hasty retreat was in order.. when we found the exit was blocked... we realised our only possible retreat was a gruesome death further into the pit... when one of the chosen walked up to us and informed us we needed to fight the machines to get out... and that it would help us... Bren and i where understandably dubious.... when i stated we had little choice.. we followed the chosen... the other 4 chosen got in line with him and we proceeded on a epic skirmish in the mines. where me and bren still fell unconscious a couple of times!
somewhere after seeing all the chosen fighting in formation... and the leader of them knowing more about tactics then a usual NPC should.. i realised that this was my first experiance with a DM... i have had flashbacks about the experiance! really really amazing thing you guys have created here...
and a special thanks to the DM who saved us in that mine one dark night... a couple of days ago lol!
i look forward to meeting some of you and continuing on your epic journey!
Pug/Macros
It sounds like you had a lot of fun :)
Welcome to EFU!
i did indeed! Thanks for the warm welcome!
Hello everyone.
A while ago I played on EfU to find I really enjoyed my time here, so now that I have abit of free time again I'll be hopping back ingame. If any of you folk feel like helping a returning player learn the ropes again drop me a PM, I'm always looking to join group concepts or existing factions so feel free to PM me about that aswell ;)
Hi and welcome back :)

Greetings. I've been playing a few days now and trying to get the lay of the land. I'm enjoying the module and concentrating on exploring Sanctuary at the moment. I've played on a previous NWN PW server (years ago) and thought I'd give EfU:R ago.
GSID: Unholy_Master (Previously used to be Aeol_Strife)
Characters: Johnathan Lavender, Samantha Greaves, Di'Amonoscia Eridyastcea
I've been playing for about.. a month. This server is fun, the players and DM's are engaging-- The struggle is real and the threats are potent. I've come from soft to hardcore RP servers and i've always found the players make the story. If you're not having fun try making some enemies or stealing somone's secrets.
I'm still finding new things out on the module. It's fun and interesting and you guys are fabulous.
Welcome, both of you! Good to see new players, feel free to ask questions in the DM questions thread, or on IRC! -TheShadow / Illuminus / SheelasChosenHin / BardofDeath / Laaurian / And a dozen others...
Hey all,

Oh no, They sent Darkhavien over from CoA.
I mean hi and welcome
Welcome to EFU. Happy to have a new loot pinata...errr player...wandering the 'dark! Hope you enjoy your stay! Feel free to hit me up IG with any questions you might have and I'll do my best to answer them. Oh btw, roll up a dwarf and we'll have some fun!
Welcome CoA-rEFUgee!
I can't wait to interact!
Played EfU long ago, looking to make a comeback, see how things go. Currently playing a mausoleum PC and enjoying it very much.
Hello, and welcome back! If you've got any questions, feel free to hit me up! Here, it's Bouquet of Roses <-- On IRC it's "Jaenas" and ingame, at current, it's "Onyche Earth-Born"!
This goes out to all new people, of course!
Hello, I tried EFU briefly over a year ago but was over-run by RL- so taking another stab at it. I'm somewhat familiar with FR and NWN but EFU has quite a lot of homebrew so might take a bit to get caught-up.
I've played a few hours so far as Uzziel - look forward meeting some of you and rping ig.
Cheers
Welcome
Hi, playing Darkest Dungeon got me in the mood for trying EfU again. I hope I actually get myself to play here for a longer term this time :)
However, after I downloaded the haks and optional overrides, etc and logging in I discovered my account (Alfa Kilo) is littered with characters I am certain I never created, let alone played here. I exited the game, try my other NWN account (G-ladiator) and that one was empty. When I logged on to the first one, it was empty too. Confused and curious, I tried to log in to Alfa Kilo using the wring password and the game let me in... is this normal behaviour? Am I doing something wrong? (Take note that the servers I used to play on used custom security measures to prevent account stealing and other shady business)
First time logging in seems to land you into a default Player1 account. Second time logging in with wrong password lands you into your account, Alfa Kilo. Passwords doesnt matter much any more since there's no verification servers.
Welcome to EFU
Hello all, name's Araonick..
Played on amia and arelith, decided I needed a break and did a search around, heard about efu and thought I would check whats what on this server.
Please don't eat me... I'm not very delicious.
Hi all, I'm also giving the EFU scene a try. Part of the same campaign group as Jmecha, Regas, KMJ where we're winding down something but looking to try a bit of a throwback here with what seems a super lively NWN1 project.
Welcome, have fun and guard your coffee.
You are all very welcome to EfU.
While I am one of the DMs who are currently a little less active, feel free to send a PM my way here on the forums should there ever be any concerns or questions and I will adress them as soon as I may. (Or grab a hold of whoever else is within reach.)
Most importantly - have fun!
Welcome to EFU.
Hello, My name is Frosteye, Played with araonick for awhile before he moved to amia and I stayed with arelith, but I'm also getting tired of the server and need to change it up.
Hence, why I'm Here!
Live long and prosper, and may the games be ever in your favor.
Welcome to EfU. EfU is a bit more hardcore than other servers you might be used to, but give it a chance. Once you're in the water, prepare to be hooked.
Hey folks,
Just wanted to say hi, been out of NWN RP for a few years but excited to get back in it and experience the world with everyone.
Quick question, I downloaded the launcher and everything seems to be humming along. Are there any other recommended overrides, or is everything generally necessary included in the launcher?
Welcome Cicinero.
As far as I know all necessary ones are included. I would however recommend Diz-e's excellent override pack (//%22http://www.efupw.com/forums/forum/information/player-compendium/46048-efu-overrides%22).
Make sure to drop on our IRC and let us know how you're doing IG! #EFU on darkmyst server.
Hello. I'm Karwelas and I played ECU a bit before, but only for a short while. I recently decided to try again. It hurts me that server is most active while I sleep (Eastern Europe, yay), but people around here are great.
Please don't eat newbie.
Welcome Karwelas!
Greetings, I'm Zerminar. I've technically played EFU for a little while but haven't really gotten too "deep" so to speak into the community or potential character/story development that Efu offers. I've recently joined the forums and have begun to try and have a more active role in events in Sanctuary. Currently playing the gruff and brash ex-bounty hunter Corvath Certamine. Hopefully I'll get an opportunity to see you all in action so to speak. Good dark my fellow adventurers.
Hi you can call me Shosi.
I currently play Shosi Steelbeard. A forgetful older dwarf.fighter, forgotten so much, the nightmares seem to suggest what he lost or is afraid to remember.
Been a few years since I played NWN, So relearning the basics.
Was introduced to the dwarf faction, unsure if that is a gm application to join. Seems I have to meet a character called Vulkan.
Hello. I am Caliber.
I have been playing NWN for a long time. I am presently playing Merin Kistbroot, a former publican, inn owner, and fence who lost her husband at the end of the world and, being not a terrible person, decided to help whomever she could, in whatever way she could, which apparently translates to shooting for an investigative position in the Sanctuary Watchers.
I'm having fun so far.
Plz don't kill me too hard.
Hello new players!
To answer your question Shosi, you should find player Dwarves in game, or make a sending asking to speak with them; once you've found someone they'll help you out!
Hello all the newcomers!
Drop by on our IRC channel on Darkmyst.net channel #EFU
We're a friendly bunch and always happy to greet new blood!

I had the game since it came out but as English is not my first language, and I wasn't that interested either, I never tried multiplayer for most of my NWN time. I met a friend IRL who introduced me to PnP role-playing (we played only a very few sessions, though) and I instantly thought of NWN and decided to give multiplayer a go. I did join Amia two or three years ago but never got the hang of it, and I quit NWN altogether. Then somehow I found EFU, and I love its concept so (after some problem-solving with the help of others on IRC) I created my first character.
My character is Alkor Daoin, a moon elf who was quite the hedonistic rogue before the darkness fell. To be honest I wanted to play in a very informal, taverns-are-my-favourite-place style, but because of me being stupid and not being able to solve the problem of the game not letting me to level up (your character has too many perks - a relogin solved this), I put a level in wizard, which, I guess changed how the character should and will be played out.
Yesterday I played for about four hours and I just love it so far. Really looking forward to this.
Hello and welcome to EFU!
Feel free to stop by #EFU for the local chat and most players are glad to help out.

Welcome to the server!
Rogues in EFU have had Evasion moved to level 5 instead of level 2. This error was likely a result of you having outdated files for the server. I would recommend clearing your hak and override folders and rerunning the launcher if you'd like to play a pure rogue.
Welcome to EFU!
So after a few days of play, hi, all! While not entirely new to the NWN RP scene, a friend of mine introduced me to this server (which he claims to have stumbled on accidentally) and I immediately fell in love. I settled on Callan's character within minutes of reading everything, figured out a little of his backstory, and went into game with him thinking he's just a pretty okay fighter. Joke's on him.
The community seems, from what I have seen, absolutely lovely. People have accepted and welcomed the not-quite-knight into Sanctuary, and I cannot wait to see where he goes from here.
Neat! Welcome and have fun!
Welcome! It's great to see new faces and we're always willing to give a new player a helping hand and some pointers on the right direction. Hit me up any time in game or on IRC
And watch out for Sem that guys a meme
Welcome Callen :)
Howdy all! Been playing nwn rp servers since 2005 off and on. CoPaP, Amia, Deepingdale, more I'm sure, I just have a hazy memory :P. Still reading up on the setting and systems etc, so I haven't made a pc yet. I suspect the first will be a throwaway character just to get a feel for things. Looking forward to checking things out and running into you folks IG.

PC: dunno yet :P
Welcome Cyan/G0b0t =) Hope you enjoy yourself.
Make sure you use a good (non-default) CD key the first time you connect, or else you won't be able to connect until after a reset (even if you change to a good CD key).
Welcome. Enjoy! This place is the best NWN server about!!
Hello. I have just begun playing here and started my character, Elysia , last night. I wanted to introduce myself firstly, and secondly, thank everyone who was kind enough to welcome me onto the server last night, especially (And I can't remember the spelling of the name so I will refer to them as my character did) Mister Beard Who Holds A Thousand Stories, who led us to the House of Knowledge and through the Museum of Illusory Exposition (Which is a very creative Idea. I love it!)
Welcome aboard!
Welcome to EFU always great to see a new face!
Hi I've been here for like a month. I didn't know that this forum listing was a thing. I've interacted with a lot of players and members of the dm team. You guys really know how to make a captivating story and I've already burned a lot of nights playing through stories with all of you! I'm Pascalo on irc if you ever want to talk! I look forward to making new stories and having adventures with everyone here.
Welcome! I'm glad you're enjoying your self. Feel free to send me a tell IG if you have any questions (Puptastic), but since you're on IRC you shouldn't have any problem getting a question answered.
Edit: I just realized who you play. You're doing great!
Played a few years back, and am jumping back on with some of my spare time! With the war and everything going on IG it seems like a great time to have came back.
Playing around with a couple concepts, but you'll find me IG as Orfrun getting used to the new version. Hoping to get up to some fun Watcher action! :)
I played like 5 years ago when the server was on an Island. I just came back and am enjoying the underdark and being in the warders.
See you all in game.
Welcome Zeusabog and Labatt!
So crazy that I've already been so involved with your PCs, and I love them both, I hope to see a lot more of you guys. I love both your characters and I hope you're having a great time.

I'm getting my GoG CD keys in order, but hope to be able to roll a character and interact with you all shortly. FR D&D is / was / will always be my favorite RP setting and I look forward to getting back to the basics of good solid role playing and the solid story EfU has always delivered. For full transparency, I used to go by TheBeggar for some time - BrownSuit was my XBOX / most other accounts name so I've just consolidated back into it.
For the next few months my time zone will be odd as well - as I've been overseas in the Pacific region. A move is upcoming in May to Texas, should things should vastly improve schedule wise.
Welcome!
If you're already used to FR make sure you check out the various lore changes as the setting as it is right now differs in quite a few ways!
Hello everyone. I can't exactly say I'm new as I've been playing on and off for almost a year now, but I'm finally getting a hang of actually utilizing the forums so I figured I would say hello. There is so much to learn and the community has been great, I look forward to continuing to play.
I play(ed) two characters of any note, though I seem to mostly function as a supporting role.

And welcome to Vax. I've played with Perin and you seem to be picking things up just fine. You'll be a Drow Adjudicator in no time. ;)
hopefully a moth
Hi guys. It's been a fun couple of days and looks like I'm gonna stick. I've been playing NWN since its original release, and EFU is tight!

Hello all,
I've been playing on the server for several days now. The player on this server have been quite welcoming and helpful. It's felt so good to become fully immersed in rp again.
It's been quite a few years since I've rp'ed. Used to play NWN years back and a bit of PnP. I'm a 47 year old grandma raising one of my grandchildren and a husband. It doesn't leave me a great deal of time to play. Sometimes I get logged in only to end up having to log back out 20 minutes later to take care of ooc things.
Hopefully my rp hasn't been too squeaky from lack of use. If anyone has some tips to help me get back up to snuff I am open to hearing it!
Looking forward to continue on my return journey to rping. Hope you enjoy the ride along with me.
Welcome OldSchoolGamer and Miigwech. Glad to have you about, hope you enjoy.

Hi all! ☺
Welcome Stramih/Misas =)
Hey, I've played for a few months now but still consider myself a noob. To EFU, NWN, FR and RP in general.
Youtube recommended The Ordinant's videos to me and after watching those DM events I thought it looked like a weird sort of fun. You may have recognized my first and current character Javor Bhatta by the extra spacing in his name or the "I'm a noob" sign in my description, which I have finally let go of. I consider myself a half-noob now.
Not being a native English speaker I struggle at times to keep up but enjoy myself nonetheless. It's actually providing a level of challenge in the language that I don't remember feeling in probably a decade, so maybe the time is not completely wasted. ;D
Some of ya'll can do some real verbal acrobatics, I think I might sometimes just [smile], for now.
I've had a bunch of fun things happen with my char, and really enjoyed how unplanned and naturally they occured.
One noob greets another or if you wish so Rugnar greets Javor :) .
Welcome to the server, weekend_superhero and Stramih!
If you have any questions about anything I know how to do, I'm glad to help :D
Hey, all. Fairly new. Been on and off for years casually, but never very long (so pretty much noob).
Looking forward to meeting you all in game.

Let it be known that it brings my heart joy to see small bits of Amil shine through now and then! Maybe it's my imagination, but it makes me smile none the less!
I'm the small garlic man. Hi everyone.
Garlic good! I greet you..
Hey, i'm Matt have been playing for a few days and looking through the forums some. I only just found this thread.
I played with a friend of mine a couple of years ago for a few days. But i wasn't really in a place in my life to have time for gaming. But the few days i had on EFU stuck with me. So i am back now. I really think the world and atmosphere and group vibe you have all created is phenomenal.
I'm trying to figure things out. I am certainly making mistakes. Everyone has been very helpful once they realized how noob i am haha!
I am a musician, i am English, but i live in Texas.
If you like live music, my band and i do live streams on twitch each month with lights and lasers and stuff haha if you want to check it out.
Any ways. Is it a good idea to mention who my character is? lol It is probably easy to figure out...
Anyways thanks for having me, and i look forward to finding my way into this world.
Matt
Welcome Matt! I'm also a Matt.
Glad to hear you're enjoying the server so far. Mentioning what character you are playing is a matter of personal taste. Some prefer to play semi-anonymously while others don't care who knows.
If you're not already on discord it's a great place to find help and advice. Hope to see you around.
Heard about the server on Reddit, thought I'd take a look.
And I tried, really I did, to make a different kind of character than I'm playing in my 5e game. But somehow I still ended up with a melee-focused nature-protecting "paladin" of joy.
I think I'm about to buy EE and once again go down the rabbit hole. Except now I'm 40, with 3 kids. Isn't this just like old times...
Welcome to the Abyss. Enjoy your stay!
