Makes sense that there will be some casulaties.

There were two different plans I got wind of to ressurect EnB. The first was that someone was going to develop a clone, however this appeared to be nothing more than fluff - a list of "dream" features that someone wanted to see in the game and not much else.

The other attempt made (a little bit) more headway by contacting EA Games and seeing if they would sell the rights to EnB. While the person querying this only had approx. 80K USD at their disposal, EA wanted in the region of 2mil USD for the rights (quite reasonable when you consider the development costs, and the subscription revenue the game would generate).

Unfortuantely, I feel EnB has died a final death.

yeah i heard that also about purchasing i wonder if any of these big MMORPG companies would be interested like CCP or Sony Online Entertainment or any others.

Was that fluff thing the Emulator cause i heard about that as wel and there is a site and everything i guess.

i heard that there might be an E&B2 but that was just something that sombody made up.

yes, it was a great game

Personally I had my problems with E&B, but I thought it had great potential. Just needed more avatar areas (meaning when you're not in your ship), player housing, larger space areas, and more class balancing, but it was fun. I was in the beta, and I played it for a while in retail as well. If it came back I'd probably play it again.

it definately had flaws but all games have flaws. They would add on new systems and station in enb often which made it interesting to wait and see what there was gonna be there. But ya it definately needed more walking around space besides the Lounge, Hangar, Trading room, and Lobby and occassionally disco rooms. I would think that they should have put a place where guilds can purchase a room to have meetings in or something. I dunno i would definately get that game if it came out though it was a lot of fun and good people
