    Not seen anything like that... although I think they used to have one on this site. If you sweet talk the admins enough, they might bring it back. :)

    Don't get your hopes up about bringing it back though. Last I heard, EA was made an offer on E&B and turned it down (that is just a rumor btw... haven't heard anyone reliable confirm that). In fact, EA got out of every single MMORPG project they were involved in.

    Except UO of course =P I've tried e-mailing EA to bring back E&B but all I got was crappy Auto-Responses and other such crap things like "Please fill out our Customer Helpline Report" I never did got a reason on why they close down E&B they say "Oh sorry we are not subjected to confirm such rumors" these are some of the reasons why I hate EA =P image

    also I doubt i'll be able to bring the E&B Forums back here as I only just started talkin here =P

    As an organization EA seems to have decided to pull back from online computer-based games, and focus on its console business (which includes online console games and computer ports of console games) where it has many lucrative franchises. It didn't make that much sense for EA from a profit perspective, given the meagre profits it got from its online offerings as compared with what it gets from, say, Madden very single year. The Sims Online is an exception to that, but my guess is that the only reason EA has kept that one alive for as long as they have (with fairly low number of subscribers) is the importance of the "Sims" brand to EA overall relating to the sales of the offline Sims and Sims 2 franchises.

    The only active forum for EnB that I know of is EnBhaven
    There is some talk there of trying to make an emulator of EnB plus some EnB mods for freelancer.

    Other than that the best EnB forum was EBportal but it's been offline for about 2 months and I don't know when or if it will be coming back.

    Good luck.

    Westwood Studios was bought out by EA in 1998. Just a few years ago they merged Westwood Studios into EA, so today Westwood Studios is no more.
