Tarryk Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Hello everyone! Popping in, hopefully as the first post of a long-term member of this community. I found the existence of this emulator when I posted the "Death of EnB" as the saddest moment in gaming in my 31-Days-of-Gaming ongoing facebook article for March. I thought it had never been successfully emulated, and someone pointed out that they knew of someone who was playing it. I ran a quick search and found this site. YES!!! EnB was my favorite game of the decade, and I miss it so much. I'm at work right now so there won't be any downloading & playing quite yet, but taking a quick break to let y'all know how much I appreciate the existence of this new server. (and seriously, you guys coded the server from SCRATCH?? By what, reverse-engineering the packets sent by the client?... that's sick, you people are awesome, and you probably need therapy too) Thanks guys. Looking forward to giving this emulator a shot, basking in the inevitable nostalgia, and (hopefully) being around doing my Terran Trader thing for a long time to come... --Tarryk Kozar CEO GridStream Productions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmythielEnB Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Welcome Keep in mind the game still has some issues, but it's very playable as is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrell [BT] Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Yeah, not only do we get to play, while the game is still in pre-alpha, we get to play with 9 classes instead of the 6 that were in game during EA's release of the game. Instructions can be found around the forums for playing as a Progen Privateer, Terran Scout, or Jenquai Seeker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarryk Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Now that is really cool! I'm sure there are plenty of kinks to iron out, but I'm really looking forward to flying around and relearning the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Del[IS] Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I'm glad you found us. It saddens me to think there are people out there that want to play EnB again and don't know about us. We have some packet captures from back in the day, which took a few years to decrypt, and our server developers have filled in many of the blanks with good and/or lucky guesses. Welcome back to EnB!

Tarryk Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Finally logged in and doing some long missed trade runs. It's amazing how easy it was to get the client updated and started. When I have extra cash IRL, I'll definitely have to chip in to the cause. Amazing to be back, and thanks for the warm welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
