    At the time EA dicided to shut down ENB, active accounts were at something like 30000, not enough for EA. Sims had about 12000. And EA wanted to go with Sims as their online game, because it would be more paying.............
    [/quote]

    At the time EA had a shortage of coders and developers...and that was the main reason they bought out Westwood Studios...so they could kill a competitor .get a group of talent from Westwood to work for EA (they mostly went to the SIMMS online) and make that game in an easier manner in 2004-06 or so with the newer tools available and better hardware to the consumer..that is how it works you get a game up for a couple years (ST0)..your gains in graphics and such come from hardware improvements....new tool invocations to work with the hardware etc...looks like you did something with the game ..but main improvements were hardware better tools etc....that game is up a couple years gets dated...repeat....

    essentially the model of "madden football" same game ....just make the flashy gains by making a new version each year to take advantage improvements in hardware and platforms and of course "cheap" underpaid new computer programmer's from univ graduates...there is a reason EA has been voted last year one of the top 5 worse corporations to work for in the world.

    thus is EA's plan ....must work i read somewhere they own 87% of the game market

    above opinions are my own

    Trying to link my game account with my net7.org account, but both were created ages ago and I'm having problems doing so. I go through the process and it tells me I've linked, but it doesn't actually link them. Don't get the list of avatars on the side or anything. My forum account and game accounts use the same email address, but the forum account contains spaces where the game account does not. I'm thinking that might be part of my problem. If anyone can help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

    i'm not up on this but make them the same....link them via the net 7 site

    see if that works to logo?

    [/quote]


    well most of my friends have at least 50 friends...i told people about it before i put a link on facebook now that i put the link on facebook they actually click the link and want to play the game (duh)....but yeah 1 posting hit 50 friends say per person in game we could be talking real big numbers

    anyway i got most of my new people with the facebook post vidieo of the "extended play t.v. shows review of EnB when it 1st came out in 2002 4 out of 5 stars....its on youtube if anyone wants to also promote or link us here with that plug and directions to the site and forum here

    First I hate the crashes and downtimes, Secondly I love the fact that you folks (DEVS, GMS ) are putting EA to shame, I am quiet certain that Westwood is rooting for you guys, good job :)
    [/quote]


    westwood studios has a legacy site on facebook i posted the enb-emulator is now LIVE and they said "awesome" and re-posted....so at least they appreciate us!

    so go ahead if you have a facebook account jump look up 'westwood studios' do a like...grab a youtube demo of enb post it on your timeline.......pass the word

    This is a problem we've been having in that the server thinks your toon is in game already i will kick this toon out and the problem should be fixed or at least it has worked for 30 or so toons so far....so you need to get a hold of a GM you can PM me here ...or i'm on Team Speak right now 9:55pm CST and/or do a bug report in game with another toon ...anyway when i get the toon name and see you are on i will /kick you out of game..and that seems to resolve the issue

    so if you are in game with another toon make a bug report or grab me in TS 3 or PM me here whatever with your stuck 'TOON NAME" and it "should" be a quick fix

    server devs are aware of problem working on a fix

    Tyberious GM told me about an issue people have had in that they can't get toons into game....

    unblackholing the toon DOES NOT WORK or at least not often

    but when a GM gets on they can use a command on the toon that is stuck ...and let them relog....that seems to work fine

    the only way we can find out who is stuck however is for them to make a GM or Bug Ticket and/or yell for a GM in channel or Team Speak 3...and tell us the toon that is stuck so we can do the fix

    so I've told the players to get the word out....and a GM can fix this as they see bug reports or are in game or on TS

    this will work till the problem is fixed...so you see someone in TS or on forums with this problem or have another toon in game with this issue ..have them make a bug report and the toon name and we will fix them ASAP

    and it seems to work tried it on 5 toons so far all were then able to get into game

    Tyberious GM told me about an issue people have had in that they can't get toons into game....He said he talked to Zackman about it and Zackman seems to think it is a recent change in code

    unblackholing the toon DOES NOT WORK or at least not often

    but when a GM gets on and actually uses the /kick command on the toon that is stuck ...that seems to work fine

    so if Devs have this command and it comes up and of course GM's this is the solution...we have just done 4 stuck toons and they all were able to relog fine

    the only way we can find out who is stuck however is for them to make a GM or Bug Ticket and/or yell for a GM in channel or Team Speak 3

    so I've told the players to get the word out....


    I'm sure we will accidently kick a couple people off we prob should not have but.....some guys have not been on for a couple days ....so spread the solution around..once we have found out the toon name to get /kicked it seems to be resolved...at least till a code tweak

    anyway i'll post this here and under general as well

    we may have to try and kick your toon out of game there is an issue with people getting in and the server thinks they are already in game

    if that is the case just PM me your toons name or post it here and i'll try to kick you out see if you can log on then

    so pm me the toon name i'll give it a shot

    does your forum account match your net-7.org account?

    as far as i understand it you get on the net-7.org site to make an account ...it directs you to the [url="http://www.enb-emulator"]www.enb-emulator[/url] site and you make the account...then it sends a validation email to you ....you use that email to log on with and then after downloading and installing the net-7 client and such off the [url="http://www.net-7.org"]www.net-7.org[/url] site you use the same name password to log in

    (or maybe i'm missing something ...it has been soooooooo long)


    you can download freeware package Team Speak 3 (just google it) .....hit the connect button on upper left after it installs and then below for channel put either ts.net-7.org

    or for some reason mine works with net-7.org only.....pick a nickname get in channel and staff or others will help you beat you pesky computer into submission!

    anyway don't dispair we will get you in even if some staff has to get you to download teamviewer and use a remote desktop app to do it from your machine


    anyway hopefully this helps (if not others more qualified jump in here)

    The dozens of crashes that have occurred since going live, each one is some new problem? Or is there something that the devs aren't able to fix?

    I am reading 'The Heart of Matter' by Evan Currie and he referenced the Kardashev Scale which I had never heard of. I checked out the wikipedia page and was blown away. Some interesting stuff on the geometric progression of power, information, and quantum physics regarding the classification of the species/civilizations that could control it.

    [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kardashev_scale"]http://en.wikipedia....Kardashev_scale[/url]
    [/quote]

    Kardashev scale projections for human civilization ranging from years 1900 to 2030, based on data from the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Energy_Agency"][color=#78031e]International Energy Agency[/color][/url] World Energy Outlook.The [b]Kardashev scale[/b] is a method of measuring an advanced [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilization"][color=#78031e]civilization's[/color][/url] level of [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology"][color=#78031e]technological[/color][/url] advancement. The scale is only theoretical and in terms of an actual civilization highly speculative; however, it puts energy consumption of an entire civilization in a [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmos"][color=#78031e]cosmic[/color][/url] perspective. It was first proposed in 1964 by the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union"][color=#78031e]Soviet[/color][/url] [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia"][color=#78031e]Russian[/color][/url] [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomer"][color=#78031e]astronomer[/color][/url] [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolai_Kardashev"][color=#78031e]Nikolai Kardashev[/color][/url]. The scale has three designated categories called [i]Type I[/i], [i]II[/i], and [i]III[/i]. These are based on the amount of usable [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy"][color=#78031e]energy[/color][/url] a civilization has at its disposal, and the degree of space colonization. In general terms, a Type I civilization has achieved mastery of the resources of its home planet, Type II of its solar system, and Type III of its galaxy.[sup][url="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=8967515"][color=#78031e][1][/color][/url][/sup]

    The original and the final draft for this particular scale had energy consumptions ranging so widely from each other, that Kardashev himself revised the scale as to include values between, in hundredths. The human civilization as of 2010 is currently somewhere around 0.72, with calculations suggesting we may attain Type I status in about 100–200 years, Type II status in a few thousand years, and Type III status in about 100,000 to a million years.[sup][url="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=8967515"][color=#78031e][2][/color][/url][/sup]

    Well a server dev which we have sleeping next to the server (someone has to feed the hamsters...) drags his chains bolted to the wall over to the server...he/she then goads the mutated server hamsters back on the treadmill....often he has to repeat this throughout the day/nite......we have to keep the radiation level high...in order for the specialized mutant hamsters to power the treadmill..thus we tend to burn out coders/server devs...we harvest their organs in Russia for hamster feed......as for the content devs i think they scavenge graveyards in a hunchback herd looking for 'brains" .....i think that is what runs the net-7.org site......simple really....

    (my non programing "emotional" viewpoint on how this works)
