    Well...i put a plug up on the Westwood Studios site with links to Enb-emulator forum page and net-7.org download page..and also found the most current FAN video I could find on You Tube that was dated jan 2011 ...well the newest with any length to it....and linked them their (westwoods facebook page) also put links on the Earth & Beyond Emulator Page and another Earth and Beyond facebook page ...anyway i encourage people to get the word out and a guick facebook page link with a video from you tube on game play may be very effective to bring back or adding new people to the fold.....

    anyway figured the westwood devs would get a kick out of it..

    Below is just a tag of a EnB Emulator You Tube Video of Game Play from Jan 2011......just posted it here for people to grab and perhaps use to promote the game
    among their Facebook friends or whatever medium they choose......any enterprising person who wants to make a more current video to post on You Tube about our LIVE status feel free

    maybe wait till after the launch weekend 11/9/12 ..in that it seems we are still iron'ing a few bugs out

    anyway something to use to promote the LIVE launch ...enjoy!

    Good morning everyone!

    Kyp already said everything.

    I just want to add that this is not a "single liner", its going deep into the memory system to something which is not really/easy debuggable, so this fix might take a bit.
    It was already present before the push (you guys know sector blackholing and login server crashes etc) but has become multiplied with the new additions.

    So we are currently restarting the game server when this happens, working parallel on the problem, but like said, this is not a "quicky".

    Your patience and the understanding you are showing is much appreciated. We continue working hard on fixing this issue but like said, it's not a quicky - so you are aware.
    Just go on and enjoy whenever the server is up - nothing will be lost so whatever you do and work on is here to stay!

    Er....get Teamspeak 3 back up so I can look over your shoulder...(yeah that would be helpful...not)

    anyway thanks for working so hard this weekend Zackman

    Welcome to EnB Emulator Forums

    Please keep this email for your records. Your account information is as follows:

    My story is I basically lurked the forums until late 2010. I hadnt paid a ton of attention in 2008 2009 because of a new addition to the family and was working way too hard to be online much. When I checked back in 2010 I saw we were already in ST4, and I signed up and played for a few months. Then I went inactive again for close to a year, came back last year and got serious.. ended up making one of each profession, taking it to 150, ubering them out, joining some guilds, getting into it.

    I was starting to get bored, Kyp asked me to help with Content writing, and here I am.

    Er..... it is 3:34 am here ....and it shows offline... did they just do another fix and reboot right away

    also i assume this is also why my Team Speak 3 is not working


    anywho.....hopefully someone is working on it

    (hmmm...... for times like this i should learn sad moving songs on a harmonica to pass the time)

    i'm killing time here in the early am waiting for the Server to come back up (needs a restart but we kinda abused our server devs last nite and somewhat today ..in the wee hours...so i think they are way...crashed....i think a few may also suffer this am from 'Wife Aggro"

    anyway....the topic here is when and where and perhaps how did you find this EnB Emulator project....was it way back at the beginning of the project or recently?


    Anyway


    I was on Beta Server under Westwood and from then till Sunset when EA pulled the plug in 2004.

    Not being a programmer type i saved all my data disks/game info etc on the somewhat 'slim' hope that someday some programmer type would make a small "app" so i could at least get in game and fly around my empty EnB data disks ...and reminisce and look at the stations sectors etc..if nothing else that much.


    So in a nostalgic frame of mind in March of 2007....i was Googling on the web looking for some screen shots etc..when i found the project....and GASP they had a single user playable version ..that no only could you fly about in game on your little laptop you could actually do stuff!

    (much whooping it up at that point)

    Then reading on i saw that they were planning on making a "Server" version and revive the game as an emulator.

    (much more whooping it up at that point..at which point i think i pulled something)

    So in Jan 1st 2008 after midnight the launch of the first stress test (ST-1).....and we were off

    So.....


    For those of you who think we have not come far in the 5 years i've been in the project (I think the project has probably only been in existence for maybe 7 yrs)...anyway.....we have gone from single player ...no server all tools built from scratch all server hardware coding reverse engineered etc etc to the point we can call the project LIVE as of 11/9/2012 ......10 years and change since EnB was launched by Westwood and 8 years since the original EnB was killed by EA.

    Now that we are here and ALL our concentration can now be put into "Improving Content" and "Improved Gameplay" and anything else we can dream up w/o haveing to build an entire server/univers/dev tools/non-profit status/ etc etc

    Imagine what the next 5 years will be like with our laser like concentraion on "Game Improvement/Advancement".....its all about content now boys and girls...

    so brace yourself!

    Also promote the game (maybe wait till after our launch weekend here so we can get the bugs out) ..but add the net-7.org link and enb-emulator link to your facebook pages....if you are really ambitious ....we prob could use a newer version of a EnB Emulator video of game play on Youtube then the one on there 3years agon in ST-3....feel free to promote it

    I mean we are "LIVE" and that means to me the expectaion is that the hardware and software WILL work ...and now most of the staff's concentration in game will be on improving/refining/adding content....content ...content.........(you guys get bored easy...need to make lots of shiny missions/stuff)

    anyway enjoy the project and tell on this thread when you found the EnB emulator project and the circumstances ....many of us will be interested...especially on my part on the most recent of you

    gonna also try to add a simple poll option to this if it does not work ...well I'd like to see descriptions on how you found the project here anyway.....

    thanks for contributing to this modest little project (good thing it was a simple port right?)

    heh....is this something i can do from the www pages? (gm tool can only unblackhole to net-7 station........kinda moot when saturn sector is dorked maybe dorked anyway?)

    Ok

    Saturn is blackholing folks i can unblackhole you to Net-7 which means you can have a nice stroll of the station but as soon as you leave your black holed again

    so...unless you want to be like me and locked out for 1hr avoid

    i managed to unblackhole my toon...but i've seen the station before so it rapidly lost its charm

    anyway others are having the same troubles..but my gm clout on this has been nurtured....(blushes)


    anyway you've been warned if you read this warn others in game or TS..

    hopefully the devs will let me out (doubtful)

    Er just a question

    i see it is Nov 1st and it says we have made the "nut" for November in donations..

    is this correct? (trying to avoid a panic post by kyp at the end of November)


    we prob are there already for November but figured i'd ask in the last time we were asked it took a whole.......(wait for it).....3 Days (gasp)


    anyway just posting this in case something needs to be re-toggled or whatever

    i did buy the upgrade for 60 bucks from amazon to win 8 pro ...amazon had a deal where you got a $30 gift card if you bought it before the launch date...so for $30 what the heck i figured i'd mess with it ( i have stuff i was planning on buying from Amazon this month anyway so it is a wash).. Ill put i .on a spare 500gb laptop drive i have around here i can put on my win7 machine p500 st-6844 toshiba..for $30 i was curious..


    but a curious Searing is a terrible thing (ask the devs and tienbau) ....so i'm sure it will be an interesting experience...but no...it is gonna go safely on to a spare hd for this experiment.........stretch my dubious blowing up computers/servers/os's.....skills beyond the enb server to new higher vistas (er..bad pun) ..

    (somewhat concerned does Microsoft have hit men for when trash their new OS into oblivion?)

    anyway here is the link for the start menu supposed revamp etc of win 8

    [url="http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/10/pokki-brings-the-start-menu-back-to-windows-8/"]http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/10/pokki-brings-the-start-menu-back-to-windows-8/[/url]


    if the link don't work it is called pokki

    anyway not sure if this is any help ....but i too assume it is gonna be a dud.....win 8 that is.....my install however will work flawlessly right guys?

    but what do i know?

    I'd have my feelings hurt if it was not so true....my latest curse..is i hit an embeded html link in an email or web page or say a link on this site... whatever and my "add a printer page" comes up...go figure....if i cut and paste stuff it works but this happens and this is on my kick butt newer (1yr old) win 7 laptop and univ bandwith access or modem ethier i ran ..reg mechanic , adv system care, tweaknow 2012 all those have not resolved the problem assuming it is a registry issue...also googled for others with this problem of course..... found none being a "Searing Curse" problem it must be unigue


    anywhoo.....that is what is new...the evil compaq evon800v laptop *that computer that should have all smashed of its irk in a public manner" running win xp has not acted up in 1yr or so...(it is plan'ing something ...you laugh but others on here know of my evil laptop it will turn on me yet...its just biding its time)

    anyway any one having any idea on the link issue on the win 7 machine drop me a pm or here

    (i could start a forum topic on the searing curse issues but boy would i get banned..hears kyp wince at the mere thought)

    well this is intresting...
    i will admit i've not logged in to net-7.org in a while( 2-3 months), therefore there are changes to what i remember.
    that being said, when i try to login there useing the same emu forum info, it refreshes and nothing works.
    i can goto master account settings and a bar comes up saying..
    you are currently banned from some services on at least 1 of your accounts. please contact a member of the staff

    this is how it was this am, so i tried the client. i ran as admin and updated then tried to login
    but it just shut down the launcher and client
    i can get ingame now as i did this pm but net-7 still doesnt like me
    ( i suspect prrekorb,killerklyde,hell, ANY vge member is blocking me somehow) j/k =)

    thank you for looking into this
    i suspect im doing something wrong but idk what
    ( whoa! maybe CDEL is behind this) lmao

    well i got on your account you show no toons so i could not make a note...but saw nothing wrong at my end on why ban'd so i put you at user....i'll inform woodstock and blacklung...so if you did something naughty they will reverse my meager GM decision here....anyway make a toon it may have mucked up somehow your 1st attempt at a toon and defaulted somehow to ban'd...make a toon if it don't work post again and we will look at it

    Was looking on forums for a new user on Team Speak 3 links and installs could not find anything (unless i'm just trip'ing past it).

    Anyway if I am correct there should be a couple places under installs and new users and prob even imho downloads on how to put up

    teamspeak 3 along with the info needed to get into our fourms


    anyway....it was pretty unclear to me if such a place was on forums since the revamp (of course many things are unclear to me)

    Well i don't know about you guys but a decrease request on monthly donations is a BIG DEAL especially when it is down what is that 48% decrease?

    I mean really from what was it $1250 to $650 ...wow.......no one can claim imho bang for your buck now.....(nor question our true effort as a non-profit ...again imho)

    good job just surprised that I have not seen more kudo's on this decrease perhaps someone should toot their own or the enb emulator's horn by placing this in the launcher
    announcements

    well anyway good job even if no manny others seem to notice this yet
