: Another year goes by! 
Another year has gone by since
Electronic Arts shut down Earth
and Beyond. The community
came together to recreate the
first online space MMO, and
every year, the DEVS over at
NET-7 progress the EnB emulator.
I looked into the progress not
too long ago, and I have to
admit, I think they have done a
wonderful job. Not only
has the world of Earth and
Beyond been recreated, but,
using much of the published lore
of the game, they managed to
increase the universe, adding
many new zones, and bringing the
story line of Earth and Beyond
to life, even further than EA
ever did. As stated on
other posts here, I have stated
that even the 3 missing classes
were introduced. Now,
those classes have story lines
added to them. Its
absolutely incredible the work
done at NET-7. Fantastic
work everyone!

: Not
again!!! City of Heroes
Sunset announced! Me not happy!!!
Well, I just
got some bad
news that everyone that lived in
Earth and Beyond know how it
feels.
After Earth and Beyond closed
its servers in September 2004,
it took me a long time to find
another MMO. I tried World
of Warcraft, Guild Wars, Star
Wars Online and many others.
I found refuge in City of
Heroes, a comic book based MMO,
and even though it took me a
long time to get used to it, I
ended up making City of Heroes
my new online home. After
8 years of playing CoH, I am
again faced with the same
problem we all faced in EnB.
NCSoft has announced the sunset
of City of Heroes. I
remember how bad I felt after 2
years in EnB. How am I
going to feel after 8 YEARS in
CoH!! Damn .. CoH closes
its servers November 30.
To all the DEVs
from Paragon Studios, thank you
for 8 wonderful years, and hope
to play more of your games in
the future. Btw, the staff
of Paragon Studios got
absolutely no notice that they
were loosing their jobs.
They came in to work on a
Friday, and asked to pack, they
were all fired! Who does
business like that .. I feel
terrible for the Paragon Studios
staff. They were an
amazing crew!

heroes, please sign our

: ME SO SORRY
..
Well, here we
are .. November 15, 2011 .. I've
been so busy over the last year
that the 7th anniversary of
sunset has passed me by .. it
took a conversation with
EVERMORE, a DEV with the ENB
EMULATOR to make me realise that
.. well .. .. that I have
completely ignored the game that
I love .. Earth and Beyond ..
Well, its not, by far, permanent
at this moment, but, after
having a chat online with
Sneaky, James and of course,
EVERMORE, I do miss this
community, I do miss the game,
and I really miss all my friends
.. and EA still SUCKS!!!
But, hey .. with any luck, I
should be back to the project
within the next 3 to 6 months ..
and if EVERMORE has his way .. I
should be back in 2 days .. LOL
..
Well
.. I really hope that things in
real life move faster then they
have over the last 2 years ..
cause I still have my heart set
on this project, Earth and
Beyond was and still is the best
MMO that ever was .. and for
those who don't know what were
about, then I suggest that you
play the game, its free, and its
fun ..
I miss all of my
EnB friends .. I'll be back ..
SOON!!

: 6th Anniversary of the EnB
Sunset!
Another year has
passed, and I have been
unfortunately detained by real
life. But it has not
stopped my from visiting the
folks over at Net7, the
re-creators of Earth and Beyond.
It sure looks like the EnB
emulator has evolved into
something even greater than
anyone believed that it would.
All new missions, all new
sectors are now available along
with, of course, tons of content
for the 3 missing player
classes, Scout, Privateer and
Seeker. If you have yet to
see the major improvements to
Earth and Beyond, I do suggest
you head over to
www.enb-emulator.com, sign
up for a free account, and go
see the all new changes in EnB
for FREE!! Thats right
people, EnB is FREE to play!
Use the Character and Starship
creator to make yourself a
Scout, Privateer or Seeker, and
see what all these terrific
people have created, Its
aboslutely mind blowing!
So if real life
gives me a break, rest assured
that I will once again dive
right into the universe of Earth
and Beyond, its just too amazing
to pass up! Take care all,
and see you in F7!

: 5th Anniversary of the EnB
Sunset!
I can't believe
that its been a year since I've
written anything here.
Yes, 5 years
ago was the last time anyone of
us had the pleasure of playing
Earth and Beyond ... What am I
talking about .. only reason why
nothing has been written here is
because I HAVE BEEN PLAYING
EARTH AND BEYOND!!! Yes
people, you all heard me!
Earth and Beyond is alive and
kicking! The Emulator Dev
Team has spent countless hours
working on reviving Earth and
Beyond, and now, you can
actually play. Naturally
things are different from when
EA had control, but, that's a
good thing. The drive
behind the project is "For the
Love of the Game" instead of the
all mighty dollar, and there is
evidence of this in every sector
that you visit. All the
devs are on Teamspeak, ready to
answer any questions, provided
they are not involved with
development. For myself, I
was an EnB player since Beta,
and I for one am very proud at
what the EnB community have
built.
Earlier, I had
the pleasure of talking to some
of the Emulator devs about what
can be currently done in the
Emulator, and what they told me
was incredible.
First thing
exciting that was revealed, was
that with the use of the
Starship and Character Creator
available for download on this
site, the 3 missing classes,
Terran Scout, Progen Privateer
and Jenquai Seeker are now
playable characters. They felt
that since this was the most
ignored request from players
during Live, it was important to
implement this at all cost.
Also, there are tons of new
sectors to explore. Also
implemented is the Item Analize
and Manufacture, ore refining,
along with tons of Combat,
Explore and Trade missions and
content, leveling missions,
upgrade missions, and new skill
missions.
The game still
works just like it did, and
still looks the same. But,
yet, the Emulator team has
managed to put its own personal
stamp on it, making the game
better than ever. Even
though there are still quite a
few wrinkles to iron out, I
think that the re-creation of
the best MMO is a testament to
the original designers.
Congratulations
Emulator team, Keep up the
terrific work!

: 4th Anniversary of the EnB
Sunset!
Well, here we
are, 4 years after EA pulled the
plug on our beloved game. It was
a sad day, many players came
online to say goodbye. Players
gathered in Friendship7, Net7 or
Joves on the most part, or they
formed up and flew their ships
across the vast universe of
Earth and Beyond. Some solo
players flew to their main
hunting grounds to destroy their
favorite mobs. Thousands of
screenshots were taken that day,
so that we may have something to
look at to remind us how much
fun we had.
September 22, 2004, that is the
day! Earth and Beyond was just a
game, and most of the players
left EnB for other MMORPGs. Some
left at the announcement of
sunset, and some die hard
players stayed until the plug
was pulled.
Well, September
22, 2004 wasn't the end for
Earth and Beyond. The game may
have had its flaws, main flaw of
course was that it was hosted by
EA, the killer of all that is
good in the gaming world (Warhammer
Online, your fate is already
known). But, Earth and Beyond
spawned one of the best player
communities. The players
gathered on fansites to talk
about past experiences in the
game, and rumors of emulators
began to surface. Few have
attempted this crazy task of
recreating Earth and Beyond, but
all failed .. but one.
Yes, Net-7 is the best there is.
Its community, its devs,
designers, writers, all together
to recreate Earth and Beyond.
And they are succeeding. Earth
and Beyond is back! The emulator
is in the works, and huge
progress has been made. There is
a working galaxy, sectors are
being populated, items are in,
multiplayer works, mining,
grouping, too much to list, and
open Beta is around the corner!
So, fear not, you WILL be
playing Earth and Beyond real
soon, with a few added perks:
the dev team managed to get the
3 missing classes working, so,
you will be able to play the
Terran Scout, Progen Privateer
or Jenquai Seeker, AWSOME!! The
other perk is that EA isn't
running the game, we the players
are! WOOT!
Net-7 is 3 years old as of
September 19th. So, with that, I
wish to stand up, salute, bow
and/or tip my hat to all that
have made the emulator possible.
So many have worked tirelessly
to get this project working,
some are still here, some have
gone to other personal
interests, but, here to name
just a few:
Razorwing, David99, Imp, Tienbau,
Tbohner, Pritcher, Ayusaki,
Vector.360, Elana, Fr3aklord,
Rackle, Ghent96, Blasti99,
Zarius, Kkixx, Imasock, Riia,
Hexergirl, Kenu, Kurigan,
T3hD0gg, Agfot, Cyranius, Zanor,
Vaniq, Game, Ookami, Herak,
Shaddex, Feniks, Kyrans,

all who make this the best
community of gamers on the
planet! Thank you everyone!!!
