Earth and Beyond was, in fact, one of the best MMORPGs ever released,
well, to many of us it was anyways. It' was the type of game to pilot
your own starship, adventure in a massive galaxy, and take part in a
thriving community. Alien encounters, fierce combat, cutthroat
commerce, new discoveries, perilous quests, strategic alliances,
diplomatic backstabbing, and epic wars await you and the friends you
meet online. This game was created by Westwood Studios. Earth and
Beyond went live in the fall of 2002. But because Electronic Arts (EA),
one of the biggest publishers in the industry, bought out Westwood
studios they felt that they were not making enough money on the
game so they didn't do enough to it to keep people interested in
playing the game. So people started to leave the game and they lost more
money. Then the worst happened!! In early 2004, Electronic Arts
announced that they were shutting down Earth and Beyond to focus the
resources elsewhere. So it was shut down on September 22, 2004.
Thankfully a group of people created Earth and Beyond Emulator to
Bring Earth and Beyond back to life! You can go to
www.enb-emulator.com
to see the this new emulator and to learn how to get into playing the
game for yourself. It took them about 6 years to get the game running
stable but they did it! ONCE AGAIN EARTH AND BEYOND LIVES!! YAAAAY!!
