I am a troll. Everything I say must be assumed to be said solely to provoke an exaggerated reaction to the current topic. I fully intend to bring absolutely no substance to any discussion, ongoing or otherwise. Conversing with me is pointless.

Tears welled up my eyes and endless streams of snot came out of my nose as I read the painful statement that would become the demise of Earth 2025.

its good it was transferred to omac, so that they could flip a kill switch

best thing to happen

otherwise this game would have slowly died under mehul, with no one wanting to recreate it like Earth Empires team did

beer in exchange for what? :P

limited had maybe 1k players during its history and there were maybe couple hundred other players who had bought silver/plat so not bad amount of cash and then adding swirvemail-buyers it gets even nicer.

ya, I accept beer.

but money is better.... the way internet money is made now has changed, it's changed DRASTICALLY from the .com boom, which was when mehul made his money...

we're not looking to get rich off the game, we all enjoy working on it as a hobby (most of the time) but when your hobby can make you money, that's awesome! :p

You may think of them as dark days, but I look at them as the impetus for a new beginning.

Had it not been for that very decision, this game wouldn't now be in the more than capable/passionate hands of the current development team, and would not have been improved to the point it has been now.

The company giving him the $1M though went bankrupt and never paid out though. But yeah, we won him two Webbies and he never* gave us anything in return.

I think mehul turning down comwood was the beginning of the end, just nobody knew it yet - especially mehul.

ES died because Earth died in large part. Why host a site for a non-existent community? Comwood tried to buy Earth when there were still thousands of people at least.

Comwood was always very active and attentive to Earthstats et al. He would've done great with Earth.

ya, Comwood would have done great with Earth back in the day.

people like me would have gladly worked with him back then to help redo the game and bring it up to snuff.

Most people don't know this, but EE is the 2nd online game i've made :p
the first one was something I did in the end of high school, and had a really cool, complicated concept. We couldn't get a good combat model together, I started university and lost interest and the other guy had a second child and lost interest.... so it sat on the shelf.

A couple of people here played it :p It was an automated version of what was basically a qpawn style game
