[quote name='cappy' timestamp='1309977813' post='42982'] I sometimes get this problem with one of my computers if i have other programs or explorer windows open when working in XP... The only way i can correct the issue is to restart my computer and just run E&B... XP seems to have poor memory management. Not sure if this is the same problem u are getting, but its an option u can try if it happens again. [/quote] I have windows 7 and have been running the game perfect for weeks. The little time I got to play the game, many people in chat were complaining of lag at that time. I did actually restart and tried to login, but couldn't once I got out. I understand that we are still in Beta, so it really isn't an issue. I have been a beta tester for many games, including this one before it went live. I was just curious, that's all. I did notice at login that a huge patch went in that day, so I am figuring something affected the game in some way.

What happened last night? I tried to log in around 7pm EST, got in and lag was really bad. Tried to log out, had to ctrl, alt, del to get out. Login in didnt work for hours, it just sat there with the green update bar half way. I did notice some type of update done yesterday. Did the game hiccup last night? Couldnt play at all, gve up around 9 pm EST and went to bed. What happened?

[quote name='Kyp' timestamp='1309901534' post='42955'] Why can't you? What's happening? [/quote] Basically, the server was hosed last night. I couldnt log in either 90% of the time. When I did, the lag was horrendous. I would warp to a gate, go past it and stay in one place with the warp sound. Had to Ctrl, alt Del numerous times to get out of the game. In other words, no playtime last nite. This was after an update that I noticed, so something went wrong

[quote name='Kyp' timestamp='1309898930' post='42951'] The donation tracker doesn't support that, and it wasn't developed by us. I'd say probably not in the forseeable or at least, near future at any rate. However, the 5 names that show on the front page are the "All-time" top 5 whereas if you go into the donation link to view the details that top 5 shows the top 5 of the current month. [/quote] Roger that. I was just curious.

I was wondering, if there will ever be a tally on what we gamers donate with dates next to them. Like an Account page when you log in and go to your profile. If there is one, I cant find it. Thanks

[quote name='GenghisBob' timestamp='1309836325' post='42942'] Did you remember to put " -noclassrestrictions" after the target to start the program. [/quote] SLAP ME The OP is my other account

[quote name='StarRanger' timestamp='1309461707' post='42809'] Nice to see this will come in handy again. Enjoy.

My dog chewed one edge when she was a puppy, but would like to know if it is it still good for the emu. Thanks

[quote name='Terrell' timestamp='1309207556' post='42689'] I think that all trade goods are non-storable. If they weren't then JE could out trade run TTs by picking start/destinations near wh points, and putting the goods in the vault to avoid the wh penalties. [/quote] My original post was a stupid the more I thought about. Sorry

Lets bring back some memories [img]http://www.outfctrl.com/eb.jpg[/img] Have no idea where I found this.

Just curious Do we get to look for Santa Claus around the Christmas time again? ROFL I remember the chat channel. HE IS HERE!, HE IS HERE! HE IS THERE! Very funny and fun

I too am an old player of Beta (still have my beta disk) and Live Welcome Home!!!

All this stuff is way over my head. I am just a gamer, that's it. I donate money to keep this game running and hopefully, one day, it will be complete and then their focus will be on new content. True, we are at the mercy of the servers, but that is in any game, with the exception of wipes, which I have not experienced yet. I just like playing EnB and am willing to pay to keep it going. I get my moneys worth with the enjoyment I get with a great community and game play.

[quote name='-Seeker-' timestamp='1265138235' post='6813'] Greetings - just a quick plug for a great builder's guild (combat and explorer classes welcome to!) We are a mature, fairly laid back guild that likes to build stuff and occasionally blow stuff to smithereens together. PST to Tradermagoo / Devilmagoo / Ladymagoots, or Kassina for an invite, or just hit one of us guildies up, and we'll steer ya in the right direction. [/quote] I know this is an old thread, but I just joined last week. I must say, you people are the best. I haven't done any raids with you yet, but I plan to when I get a little higher. In the meantime, when I needed something built, you made the time to make it for me with no questions asked. Great Guild and thank you all that helped me progress a little further. I plan on making two more toons on other accounts also and hope you will take them into your fold. Ripster Terran Tradesman

[quote name='Evermore' timestamp='1309237073' post='42705'] Actually, I placed subtle tones that only dogs can hear in the weapons firing and items installed sound effects that to a dog sounds like " in a minute, just a sec, a moment longer, just hang on, I'll be done in a bit " and there you sit - staring at the monitor and your dogs thinking [/quote] I knew it!! I havent played a game this much since Ultima Online and EnB live . In any case, on long trade runs I have started to pay attention more. Oh, and I do need to take her for walks. I keep saying I am going to, but don't. There is a dog park about 20 minutes away that has a lake in the middle. Maybe I will take my metal detector out there and let her run around while I hunt. Leashes are forbidden, but you have to pick up the doodoo if she has the urge. At least they have those bag kiosks there.

I was reading the TT beginners in this forum and I believe it said that level V goods have to be in your cargo hold. Now, does that mean I can load my vault and cargo at the start station with trade goods from Level I thru Level IV and sell the items that I put in my vault and in my hold at the end station for the same amount of loot for each one? If so, I sure missed out on making some serious credits.

Ever since I have started playing this game, my dog Chloe' has been acting strange. I play from around 6:30 pm to around 9:30 pm EST every night and more on weekends. She comes into my computer room and lays down next to me, hoping I will pay attention to her. Then she will sit up and just stare at me and I mean STARE! It is getting spooky. I use to play World of Warcraft, but she never acted like this. What did you people do to the game to make my dog act like this? Is there a hidden subliminal message that says " You will play this game and only focus on this game, nothing else exists"? Come on, fess up Devs!

Well, it is almost 730 pm EST and the servers are still down. Guess I will play some World of Warcraft tonight. Meed to do some herbalism anyways.

I can't remember the guild I was in during live, but would like to join. I have a level 29 TT. Name is Ripster. Also have like a Level 14 JE named Arkius Thanks!

Sounds good to me. I am having a blast. To me, this game is relaxing at times and very stressful at times. I enjoy the long trading routes on occasion to take a break and watch my ship cruise and the stress when my shields are going down. Then you have the reactor to worry about. I hate that piece of equipment as a TT! LOL I am trying to get my best friend to play, but he says the graphics are dated. He doesn't understand the depth of this game and the great community. I have asked, what I think, are stupid questions, but always get a polite response and helpful information. It sure is different from the stuff I hear in World of Warcraft.

In live, I was a 135 TT when EnB went down, so I never experienced max level. My question is: What do you do after you hit cap? Will the cap be extended to say 160 and more content added? Just curious.

[quote name='cpwings' timestamp='1308752292' post='42401'] IIRC, you started with level 1 beams. You prolly only spent 1 SP to raise that skill to lvl 2. If that is the case it may not be worth the effort to regain a single SP. Just a thought. [/quote] Thanks, I was worried about that. Then it probably wont be necessary to reset skill points. Anyways, thanks all for the info, just in case.

[quote name='Lot' timestamp='1308742973' post='42396'] It's called a "Call Forward" and you can obtain it from a sentinel that has trained the ability. [/quote] Thank you. Since it is a unique skill, I imagine it would be very expensive to have that done? Not saying I need to, but was just wondering. I am a TT and skilled up my lasers to 2. When I was reading about the TT, it said not to skill up in that.

Just wondering how you could reset your skill points if you messed up? Is there a kiosk or something?

Nevermind. I did some combat grinding and a few quest and made some serious money. I am fine now
