Were You On The Original Enb In 2002 To 2004 Or Just Here?

[ezekiel2222]

Played through live from pretty early on up until sunset.  My main was a 150TE on Andromeda named Marinus.  Was part of a small guild called Rogue Knights; I remember our leader lived in Alaska or something.  I doubt anyone remembers me, but if you do I was the one always spamming trade chat looking for rare ammo samples.  I wanted to be one of the first to have every ammo type in the game analyzed, and I was only missing a few by the end.

 

I checked out the emulator pretty early on, which is why my account says 2010. Hard to believe it's been 11 years already!

Oh man.  Remember when you could import things from places?  Now, the DRM stores just tell you when and where you can play things.

 

Mad respect paying nearly the price of the game again just to get it when you deserved it.  Even with its complications, I'm glad the globalization of gaming seems to have really cut down on that region-dependent BS.

I played on Andromeda server with the same in-game name that I have now... Texe

 

My main was a TT and just loved building weapons and ammo.  I had a cast of other toons, most notably my PW, which was coming along so nicely... and then E&B ended.  I remember being sooooo bummed about it. 

Back then the server was buzzing with activity, raids, tons of action and of course the odd controversy/squabble. 

Good friends and good times for sure!   

 

Glad to see this emulator - well done guys!

Tyrellius AKA Ty leader of the TerraJen Foundation on Andromeda. I was UK based and before retail I got to level 75 in 25 straight hours. Had to do that as it took about 2 or 3 weeks to get the CD imported. I am sure if I look in my storage, I still have the original box and CD.

We had one of the largest guilds, I think we hit max numbers and had to make a second one. had some of the best crafters too:)

 

Would be nice to hear from some of the people if they have ever got here.

 

P.S. I am ashamed to say that I did sell my E&B account just before the game went kaput. Had the founders logo too and got like £300 for it.

Drei (aka Tyrellius/Ty), I was in your guild! I cannot for the life of me remember my handle though. But I remember you, Jeff, TechTv (Techvas) and Sani. There are others, of course. I was reminiscing about the past, and I came across our guild webpage on the wayback machine. If you threw some other names out there, I might recognize mine...

Good to hear from you. I am going to look on my old backups and see if I can find the old website or some of the screenshots I took. See if I can post a few on here.

I was there from the Beta, to the final moments.

So many people who helped me then, and so many who help me now.

JD Galileo Server lvl 137 when it shut down. did not find out about the Emulator until 2022...

 

fondest memories include farming in VT, fighting tengu, and being invited to a FB Raid before i made lvl 100.

see you all when the server comes online again!

Sunrise when it started to sundown.  Stress test 2,3 and stress test 4.

Been retired for a couple years and haven’t play but trying to come back but now I’m just patiently waiting.

played EVE after sundown but got tried of PVP

[Mieux]

Played on Orion with a JD "Megasaxon" a PW "MegaGT" and a TE "Megagtx" all at 150. I was a young idiot and spent skill points in places they shouldn't have been. Let's just say I was very happy when the SP re-roll was launched. Fixed that stuff ASAP! 😆

[Chromedragon]

Not sure if i answered this a while ago but i got the itch to come back and see and play again so here goes. 

 

I was Chromedragon on Pegasus. Started out as a beta tester had the FF Decal etc. I still have my badge from the meet and greet that took place in San Jose Ca. 

 

I was part of Shadow Squadron initially then moved to Pantheon with Sarina and Master Jag. I played a Terran Trades Man loved all the raids. The mash unit work in the Fish Bowl was nuts. 

 

Love all the work the teams are doing and the expanded content as well Greate job team.

I played a ton of command and conquer back in the day. Firestorm, red alert 3, and renegade.  At some point I heard about westwood studios had made this new online space game. It took my 56k internet something like 3 or 4 days to download the 600mb game.  I still remember the awe of first logging in and having this massive game to explore.  I remember being TERRIFED to go through the gate from Jupiter to Saturn.  Anyways, EnB was my first ever MMO when I was about 13 and I played it up till they announced sunset.  Being 14 and using my own money on the subscription, I didn't want to spend my time and money playing a game anymore that I knew was about to be shutdown in a couple months.

I was originally Ghostwing, lvl 150 Jenquai Defender. I joined the Disciples of Rebellion guild for most of my time in EnB.  I Played with some of those same players on EVE Online when EnB shut down.

I've played the Emulator off and on over the years.  I remember when there wasn't much you could do besides fly around the asteroid belt sectors. Combat and loot tables didn't exist yet. (I think it was originally written in java, then that was scrapped and re-written in C++)  I even had access to the source code myself at one point, but I was new to programming (still in school) and never had the time or knowledge to contribute anything.

I recently got the ENB itch back and game here to find out the servers have been the victim of some sort of attack and are still down. I hope they are back up soon and If there is anything I can help with i'd be willing to see what I can do.
