  1. Server population is low; groups are rare but do happen. seems like a lot of people multibox for making their own levelling groups. Don't be shy to ask for help/advice in New Players channel. There are guilds that can help you in the leveling grind with gear and advice and assistance through rough parts.
  2. We're still here, welcoming any wayward souls who could use a guild to help guide them along their way.
  3. Looks like the maintenance in January cleaned this right up. Thanks a bunch!
  4. In the last week or so I and a number of other users have been seeing a lot of strange lockups in the game. The symptoms are that the game instance stops taking input. Can't target anything, can't move, can't log out via escape menu / Quit options. Interestingly you CAN send messages in various chat channels, but not see any of the responses. If you're multiboxing you can see the chat messages sent from the stuck client. Apparently if one waits long enough it sometimes recovers. The surest resolution is to use /quit and log back into the game, or kill game process through task manager and log back in. I thought at first it was most only happening to idle game sessions, but it happens to active ones too with less frequency. Ironically my game session just did the same lockup while I am writing this post. Are the Devs aware of this and do we have a hope of a fix? I have guild mates complaining it is disruptive enough in its frequency that it is making them not want to play.
  5. The dropbox.com link to the release.rar file containing geepee's binary-hacked client.exe no longer works. Fortunately I got a copy of it before it went down. I have put it back for upload. Link to the zip file and actual instructions are on my Damage Inc website at http://damageinc.cryptic.com/Patches.html I did a binary diff of it against the original and it does indeed only have a small one-byte change. However I encourage you to use standard due diligence in scanning any binary executable downloaded from the internet. I've been using this patch for months now, and have never seen the 'Earth&Beyond is already running' on the PC running the patched client.exe.
  6. A couple of corrections and updates here: The base where you will find T2Z to start the mission line is on Primus Planet, not Primus moon as OP stated. The base is a former Progen base that has been renamed 1C4615H. You will not be able to dock there unless your V'Rix faction is -1999 or above. Grinding up V'Rix faction to get to this point can be a pain! I did it by a combination of chitin bits turnins to the oracle (chitin bits farmed by an a V'Rix hunting alt, 100 rep per 50 turned in) and hunting a LOT of InfinitiCorp and/or Bogeril faction ships -- as both of these factions can easily be recovered with item turnins. The "optional" mission for device builders to get the Ardus Key device pattern requires you to spend a million credits to get the artifact to analyze from the vendor in Net-7. Manufacture cost for the Aquitaine Codex device is another million credits -- trips to Ardus aren't cheap. The EnBmaps.de map page for Ardus is fairly accurate. 1Z1Z2L -- who you need to talk to to complete the mission line -- is near the AC160 nav point.
  7. Damage Inc. is still active and recruiting new members. We do fairly regular raiding now especially on weekends, and usually have a large contingent in the public raids. We have members from zones, from Europe to eastern Asia. I'm in US/Pacific time; you can find me online on Zargol or one of my many alts, or ask for us in New Players or General channel. Our other guild recruiters are available at earlier time zones. Hope to see you soon!
  8. I asked only because someone earlier in this thread suggested joining up with guilds who raid in your timezone. Judging from the lack of response, there's nobody in Pacific time. There also was the comment earlier that everyone has an equal chance to raid, but it was missing the caveat that they had to play on Eastern time. Well, it is what it is.
  9. Does anyone raid at times friendly to those of us on Pacific time? Like 10pm EST til about 03:00 EST? That's my normal time zone -- the only times I've been able to raid are when I've skipped work or on weekends, at what is basically EST friendly times.
  10. Another, better, more recent thread on this very subject is in the tech support forum. I refer you to https://forum.enb-emulator.com/index.php?/topic/7262-how-to-create-the-3-new-classes-npc-skins/
  11. Just a couple updates to save anyone else the troubles I just had getting TS up and running: You need an updated Teamspeak client. I was trying with a version 3.0.10.1 that dated to 2013, and it would just not connect; it was old enough its internal check for updates would not work. Updating to 3.0.19.1 downloaded directly from www.teamspeak.com fixed all this. The default port for teamspeak is apparently 9987, so you don't really need to specify it. And if you do try to specify it, teamspeak omits it.
  12. Very strange; i've had others tell me it is working fine.
  13. There is also a mission from SolSec Bob in Orsini Mining Platform that rewards the Polar Express engine.   It involves farming up 500 candy Canes and 500 Stolen presents from the Evil Snowmen that spawn around the universe.   From what I can tell, the level of the snowmen does not affect their loot drops.  Their loot is tradable so you can farm snowmen on a low level alt for XP and hand them to others.   A Word of Caution. The Polar Express is tradable and Unique.  If you have one in your inventory when you try to turn in canes and packages to SolSet Bob, you will lose your snowmen loot and not get an engine.  Been there, done that....
  14. For what it's worth, works like a charm on XP.    -Z
  15. Eh I wiped the win2k box and am setting it up with XP.      For what its worth, if I run net7proxy.exe without arguments directly on windows 7 it just kicks out a 'server failed login attempt' error.   I really think its a binary compatibility problem.   I did reinstall EnB twice on that Win2k installation, once making sure all the paths fit within the 8.3 character DOS naming restrictions.  The paths in the startup window all looked OK.   -Z
  16. I got all nostalgic and booted up an old Windows 2000 pc i used to play E&B on in live.   It runs the EnB client fine (up until it tries to talk to EA servers).   If I try to start it through net7 launcher it throws this same error.     I note that if I try to run c:\net7\bin\Net7Proxy.exe directly it also gives the 'not a valid Win32' application error, so something is wrong with that executable.   I'm guessing that the more recently compiled Net7Proxy.exe binary is not compatible with such an ancient version of windows -- can anyone confirm whether or not they can get emulator working on an OS this old?
  17. I got in, thanks!     As a bonus I noticed my old guild website was down, so I fixed it.   
  18. I actually run the Damage Inc web site, and hadn't realized it went offline for a while.  It is back online now, though I see theres a bit that needs updating.    Its a cute snapshot of the web from the early 2000s.
  19. Are you guys still around/recruiting?   I'd like to join up!  Turns out I ran the original Damage Inc guild on Galileo through the final months of Live.
