this gives you an idea of the graffitti I think this may be referring to

Kilroy (or X) was here first thing that came to mind

ubiquitous graffitti at one stage (70s?)although haven't seen it for a while so it could well be a wordplay on that.
Zarr=X meaning perhaps Zarr used to be everywhere but now resting on the astral plane???
It's best to ask client
philgoddard Jan 19, 2016:
Zarr is almost certainly a person's name. "X was here" is what people write on walls and other objects to say they've visited. I agree that "rest in the astral plane" sounds like something you'd say to a dead person.
Ivan Niu (asker) Jan 19, 2016:
This word appears only once in the whole game, and it has nothing to do with the gaming. I guess there might be something humorous or cultural.
Since it's difficult for native speakers to understand, I'll ask the client directly.
Thanks a lot, Gallagy!

Hi Ivan

Context...
is "Zarr" a person or thing? Is this thing dead/gone? So the second line is like Rest in Peace?

Zarr was here

For the first line (achievement name) I'm just going to give you the translation you need because it's easier:
Zarr was here = Zarr 到此一遊 (Substitute in whatever your translation is for Zarr)

As for the description, the Astral Plane appears to serve as a mission hub of sorts for Eador, so presumably there is a Rest command that allows you to recover health or something. Doing this action gives you the achievement.

(Now I see that this achievement does not currently exist in Eador, so maybe I'm just BSing. But I think you can translate this straight up - 在Astral Plane裡休息 - and it's going to be correct)

disagree REGS : Hold up, where are you getting all this context from? Considering the discussion nothing you said has anything to do with it.
