Earth and Beyond reopening???

Chonicles · March 2006

I can not beleave it. It might be nothing ,but I posted on EA uk's forum asking about reopening and I got a responce from an admin. I may be reading more into it then there is ,but I have seen little if any responces from EA about EnB since it closed. Please read and post your support.

There still might be hope.

I read it, replied and my website was even mentioned. I definately will be watching this post closely. All enb people post on this website about enb again and we could have it back.

It was an awesome game, i still dont understand why they dropped it to begin with. It seems that the average MMORPG player is now turning more towards futuristic themes, rather than medival. E&B wold prob get slammed like eveonline once again. But i hope they worked out a few things first

EnB was my first MMO and I loved it dearly. I especially loved the deep lore and endless opportunities for exploration. I am a huge Star Wars fan though and so I left it for Galaxies. Later when I got tired of Galaxies I wanted to return to EnB, but it had just been announced that it was shutting down. Such a shame. It was a better game than a lot of the junk shoveled out today...including SWG.

Graphics are probably too dated though and despite Sci Fi being my favorite genre I know it isn't for most MMO players. If I have to play one more game with a dam elf though I am going to vomit.

Well if they do they will need to do a lot of work on it...I beta tested EnB along with a friend. The game had so much promise and looked like it was going to be much more then it was, but that was not to be. One of the shortest lived MMORPG I've ever seen if not the shortest. Many serious bugs that were identified in beta were never fixed even when it went live. I really enjoyed the time I played in it despite the problems it had. Leveling was much to fast...within 2 months of launch there was allready people maxed out in level. Content was great if you played human from lvl 1 to 30 but after that it was barren until near lvl 50. It's been so long since I played it though I can't remember all the reasons I ended up quitting and going to SWG...but now that SWG is dead I'm looking for a new home. Tried EVE...great game idea and implementation...I just couldn't get into those fugly ships. EnB's ships looked much better by comparison.

OMG check it out we got a second reply from a admin on this topic. This one being more positive
Quote from admin:
"It's great to see the support for the game after all this time. Rest assured we'll make sure the people in the right place hear that there is still demand for the game to return."

Keep the post coming this might have somthing to it.

Personally i think the leveling was great! Every game I have played sice, I have been dissapointed by the low level cap and the slow leveling. I loved being able to get online for only an hour or so and actually feel like I acomplished something.

Ouchmuch · April 2006

I have started keeping an eye on that thread in the hopes that they will announce they are reopneing that game it was a blast that is for sure

Kehn · April 2006

This topic should be in the poll section of this site. I’m not sure who has permission to move polls there, maybe it’s automatic. I guess I’ll just create one and find out.

niatsnie · April 2006

You guys might check out this topic here on MMORPG regarding EnB.

karr1981 · April 2006

all i can say to this is OMFG

as an EnB beta tester like many of u guys i saw the potential, i was devestated upon its closing, and this would be the news of the year if it happens as far as im concerned

Karr1981

eagleranger · April 2006

all i can say is i would like to try it ,,,, it closed before i had a chance

GMan33 · April 2006

Ill say bring it back! Loved EnB, greatest mmo i played so far. Can easily bring handful of friends back to play it! Currently playing Eve, which i love as well, but damn if EnB game back, o that would be tempting!

Stedfast · April 2006

It was my first MMORPG also and I too left it for SWG

, it would be nice to see it back

Mauiman · April 2006

I would just be satisfied if EA Games had decieded to just make their skulls thin enough and realize that there are people whanting to just smere the queere if they don't get EnB back.

jbrads · April 2006

Wow, EnB returning? Must admit i never subscribed to the game, i only played it during the open beta period, back in the days of propper beta! they even mailed me a propper EnB CD just for the beta, should have kept it, think i never subscribed because i was anticipating Eve Online, however having played it and what i recall of EnB i think i'd sooner play that these days!

eagleranger · April 2006

does anyone know if they are going to for sure or not there's plenty of talk but what i have been seeing its just wishful thinking .

......... dont get me wrong i hope they do i love sci-fi mmog i played eve,darkspace, tried jumpgate, was hoping on unknown abyss but it's on hold

and startrek online will not be out for awhile,,,,,,,,,,,,,

i guess ill will have to be a elvin wizard in another game

Miexon · April 2006

We are unsure whether anything will be done but the more support and people we have the better chance we will have of it returning.

jbrads · April 2006

Well, you have my full support

Surely the game would like a bit dated now though and need a little over-haul, which means spending money etc?

Problem though is even though you feel like you get something done...before you know it your capped out. There were people who capped out within 1 month of launch and I was well on my way when I quit 3 months later. While it was a fun game there was so much more that needed to be done that it didn't hold my interest near as long as other MMORPGs.

Chonicles · April 2006

That thead is now 21 pages long and 11k in views. could somone from MMORPG.com us there contacts to find any info about this please.

Mordah · April 2006

I loved EnB. It was my first MMO and at the time I just didn't have enough experience with online games to realize what a gem it actually was. I especially loved the exploration aspect of the game and the vastness of the zones. The only real complaint I had about it was that there was very little you could do outside of your ship. A nice expansion would have been to make the space stations and planets a little more useful and enjoyable in some respects, but overall I thought it was a really nice game.

One of the things that still makes me shake my head is that although EnB didn't have a huge player base when it was shut down it still probably had enough to survive and probably had more than SWG does now. I think EA just didn't like running something they obtained in the takeover of Westwood and shut it down out of spite.

Mauiman · April 2006

I really want to play Earth and Beyond again. So all of the support that you can ever give to us, will be great. I also like how you guys have been posting here and showing us your support to Earth and Beyond. Thank you very much.

niatsnie · May 2006

Shameless bump! :-P

Mordah · May 2006

I think EA is just teasing folks with this unfortunately.
