Apelord

I love the fact that I can raid in this game!  During the retail version I was on a big server but not in a big guild, meant we NEVER got a shot raids like troller, rd base or anything that wasn't triggered.

Very  nice!!  I look forward to seeing how much this may help.

ROFL!!

As an old lover of the original E&B I had no idea this project was even underway so imagine my utter surprise when I follow a posting on mmorpg.com to here! All I can say is THANK YOU! You have no idea what it means to me to play this game again nor will I bore anyone with details of my son and I playing this during an incredibly difficult time and seeing it again after all these years... After reading this thread I just have to point a few things out: Don't blame the devs for design decisions made by another group of people well over a decade ago. This game was stupid easy to bot ten years ago and it is a result of design choices made long ago. There never was any balance amongst the classes! Pw's could out kill a JE ten to one. JE's had one use: batteries for pw reactors. Drop rates on anything worthwhile were crazy low, raids crashed and bugged out A LOT, kill stealing and ninja looting raids was not uncommon. Oh Combat exp was easier to get than the other two. Trade exp was best leveled by selling loot, explore exp...remember running tours? Remember endless hours of pointless mining? It was ALWAYS faster just to go farm mobs and use clexp overrun to level up explore. All these warts and many many more are the result of decisions made by Westwood studios not some issue with this current edition! The fact that we are even able to play this again at all is frankly amazing! But don't get lost in the games imperfections now, it never was perfect (and frankly it did close). Play it, love it for all its' warts, but above all support it this time so we don't lose an amazing second chance!
