Totally understandable! We're definitely not for everyone.

I appreciate the response.

Personally speaking, I'm just not really a fan of the whole enforced RP idea. I know lots of folks love to roleplay, but I've just never been too keen on it. If that's the primary aspect of your server, then it just wouldn't be a good match for me. Wish you all the best though, and it's encouraging to see so much great stuff being put out by the community.

Hi Michael,

Our principles for new players are actually very simple: be respectful, role-play IC, and don't deliberately cheat. It is true that there is a lot of fine-print but it's not something we expect everyone to spend a lot of time with until they decide that they want to stick around for the long term. You can read the most up to date rules here, it is mostly pretty straight-forward stuff:
https://wiki.efupw.com/index.php?title=Server_Rules#General_Principles

I agree that no one wants to spend valuable in game time reading some ancient rule book though, so we will remove that from the starter area.

It may well be that EFU still isn't for you, but I don't really think we're being that unreasonable regarding rules. Not much drama with us, and players who do bring ooc drama tend to be removed from the community.

I was really excited for this. Continued to be excited all the way through making my character and scoping out the neat custom assets.

And then I spawned in front of a bookshelf, and read the "rule book." Immediate pass.

Would be nice if all these pedantic rules were clearly outlined in the Steam Workshop BEFORE sitting through an 8gb download and going through character creation.

Don't get me wrong. It looks amazing. It's very impressive, and it's clearly a labor of love. But this kind of stuff and strong potential for drama is the whole reason I don't play public servers in general for most games.

I just think this server is neat!

You select halfling and you put goblin in your subrace. I think. I have never played a goblin myself.

How do you play as a goblin? I can't pick one on character creation

Not at all. It's exactly what it says. Since many have had similar error in nwn, there have been many reasons to it, and people in discord tend to be able to help. I just expect many more are able to help there, rather than here.

@Paha
"Many players have sorted it out, I suggest checking discord for help."

AKA, please go elsewhere.

If it says you are missing haks, and have confirmed that you downloaded the full package, then it is very likely you have haks from other server that conflicts with our hak packages. It's a common issue when servers may use same hak packages or content from individual hak creators, but customize them.

Many players have sorted it out, I suggest checking discord for help.

Doesnt work. still says im missing required hak files

Hard to describe, it's a what if Mazerunner, Hunger Games, Divergent, Fallout, Shadowrun, Planescape, DnD had a baby?

Needless to say I don't think SithTank's feedback is remotely fair, but probably not worth engaging in a discussion of the issue in the review section.
Your character (which you portrayed as being mentally unhinged) was removed for IC reasons from an IC group of staid local guards. The fact that you took this IC action as an excuse to have an OOC tantrum here and elsewhere reflects more on your own failings as a player than any issues to do with the server.

Mission balancing in this PW are pretty atrocious. Last time I played my level 4 character got nuked by a deadly trap in a level-appropriate quest. Deadly traps deal 100+ damage btw, an insta-kill for any non-fighter/barbarian class below level 7.

Harsh penalties for respawning and an excruciating tutorial keep this PW shelved for more consistent experiences like Ravenloft.

it's actually an isekai. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMm1RLF32ig

Fresh concept, and probably the best place to play NWN EE. Active DMs, lots of players at all hours, and easy to get into. I just started two weeks ago and have a pretty strong character already that people are starting to recognize.

With the recent chapter change EFU is better than ever. There is a fresh setting not bogged down with old setting or community pretenss or common knowledge and EVERYTHING is mysterious again. A new server means new mysteries and the new module is gorgeous. It's reminiscent of Sigil in a strange post apocalyptic style and leaves you wanting to find more of it... OR YOU COULD GET INVOLVED IN POLITICS AND SQUABBLE AND KILL EACH OTHER LIKE ME

Been playing this since 2013. Honestly the best game and PW I've ever been on. DM team is active in developing new systems and stories, and the new content is amazing. Would recommend 100%

Really great. Works perfectly and adds a TON of high-quality extra content to NWN for a brilliant server.

If you're not playing EfU, you're wasting your life.

New updated haks and content have worked beautifully in the latest chapter of EfU. I've spent most of my days since release exploring this amazing world.

Brilliantly crafted setting. The environments are beautifully dirty, each area I've seen has felt unique, and the livelyness of Ticker Square is just.... perfect.
Looking forward to the years to come, exploring this rich atmosphere.

A bit like Diskworld crossed with Farfard and the Grey Mauser with a dash of murder. In a good way.

I have been playing efu for fifteen years. There is a reason for that.

Oh, forgot to mention you can also download the content directly from our forums here: http://www.efupw.com/forums/index.php?topic=687933.0

Hi @aidanpscott sorry you're having issues - some mods do cause issues with stopping things downloading fully from the workshop (like CEP). Alternatively, you could join us in our Discord and we could try and troubleshoot for you? https://discord.gg/htBk4fV Hope to hear from you.

For whatever reason, this mod just isn't working for me. Is there any kind of mod out there that ay be overriding this one?

Hey i have some question,
How i unistall EFU? :/

father jack hackett approves

@archer If you're havingn trouble leveling up it's probably because you haven't figured out the quest system is all. It's different from standard NWN and cuts down on the monster grind so that you can role play more and get a more "dungeons and dragons" type feel by actually going through encounters and dungeons. It's pretty great but the level range isn't super high.

Update: yes, downloading stuff directly from forum fixed the problem.

Windows 10, just downloaded some mods, including this, tried to log in, crashed.
Unsubscrided from CEP as suggested in the comments here, still crashing.

Should I download from the forum?

Came for the XP, stayed for the RP

@Archer

Yes, I definitely want to confirm that just going out and killing monsters for XP is the worst way to advance in EFU. Instead we have hundreds of scripted quests and other content.

Any player shouldn't find it too difficult to get to level 5 in a solid evening of play.

@Archer

Just do some quests, you'll get to level 5 in an hour or two.

uninstalled. i'm all for a bit of rp but 1000 kills to get from lvl 2 - 3 is definately not for me

I'm very pleased to see that EFU is still up and running!

We've received reports that if you are also subscribed to the Community Expansion Pack workshop item and are using Linux there is a problem that leads to the CEP not being fully downloaded which in turn prevents the EFU workshop from being downloaded which makes it so you crash on trying to join our server. Temporarily disabling the CEP workshop item may fix crash issues, let us know if so!

I was crashing attempting to log in to the sever (subbed to both this and the hotfix) - I wasn't sure that the workshop downloads actually triggered. Downloaded both from the forum links and got it working. Seems to be a great server, got a guided tour, embarked on an excursion, got killed by a big hulk :)

Be cool to see some CEP on this server, the standard NWN 1 stuff gets so boring looking.

Hey Elianzer sorry for the late reply. Did you subscribe to our page in the steam workshop and update accordingly?

12 year veteran of the server. Unparallelled RP along with very unique and catchy story/plot lines. Come on in little Monkees.

I was having issues login into the server (crashes on login). I fixed this by downloading the hak from the website manually. Just in case others have the same issue.

thank you for the reply

To be specific about the level cap: characters can reach a soft level cap of level 10 through EFU's scripted quest and exploration content. After a character reaches level 10, interactions with plots, events, factions, as well as the pursuit of significant personal character goals, becomes the character's primary source of experience (mediated by Dungeon Masters).

Hi -=!=-Hexlaw-=!=- , those are great questions. The short version is that EFU has a level cap of 10, and this means that magic users typically only cast up to Level 5 spells.

Some other points on EFU's magic power are:

A distinctive take on magic items. We avoid the usual D&D progression through "+1, +2, +3..." enhancement bonus items for armor and weapons. Instead, our best quest loot is startlingly creative and thematic - selecting among many other item properties provided by NWN (and unique powers that we create ourselves). Generally the items do not balloon in power in the way that they might in a usual D&D game, and the result of this is that EFU combat is different: more exciting and tactical.

Consumable magic We emphasise consumable magic and duration effects quite a lot (potions, wands and other items with charges, use/day items, summoned creatures, protective and strengthening spells).

By the standards of NWN, EFU is a relatively low-level, low magic-power world. We challenge players and their characters both mechanically and creatively.

what is the max lvl cap and what does low magic-power world mean?

Most excellent Neverwinter Nights persistent world, with tons of variety in the quests, lots of active players, a great Dungeon Master team, and endless fun.

If you seek a challenge, something that will hold your interest... EFU is right for you!
