What he said, at some point last year something seemed to change a bit in the attitudes of the folks that seem to make the decisions for this project. It lost a 'everyone pitch in, this will be awesome, group hug" feeling and becasme a "I am so close to taking my toys and going home" attitude. First the databases were witheld and now you need a secret handshake to put up a private server. In the end I expect whichever group has the most open and inclusive attiudes towards the community will dominate. I know my support will go to whichever group most embraces a sense of open community.
I also hope any splinter group considers trying to get the game back to just like E&B at sunset (with the extra character types as a stretch goal). I really feel changes in the game now are making this a similar but still different game. These differences make me less interested in this project every change from the original that gets made.

I agree with Spacegrrrl.I have also a feeling that this is more a closed source project even you say it is open source. I can understand that you want people to play on the Net7 server because that way you can test everything. And the more respond you get with bugs the better the game is.
But in the end I have more a feeling that people are forced to play on 1 server and that is easy to do. A lot of old Eab players want to play eab again.
I loved this game and spend almost 2 year`s playing this game. The moment I came home I play it...till late in the evening. Since that time I really hate EA for what they did to this game because I spended a lot of time in to this game and in 1 day everything was gone.
Most emulators I know provide you with a full tutorial how to setup a game server with a seperated database. I know emulators where people create a complete package all you have to do is start the server and login.
So in the end I am curious which way this project is going.
