Repoman Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 well I downloaded it and man, forgot how good this game is.Trying to get a few friends to download it so we can play. Can you please with an illegal copy still?Or does that only work via hamachi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NodFan Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 aw its sad nobody play this game online anymore :'(I have been going online and I always see the servers are empty :'(Plz if anybody wants to play then come I dont like hamachi cuz it is hard to use and I never got it to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calthazar Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 whats so hard? sign on hit join network put dune122 password 1 and we can try getting u started from there. almost no one goes on the servers and unless you get on Hamachi or MSN it will be nigh to impossible to hook you up with a match. Look in the MSN thread and join ^ that network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NodFan Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I know ive joined Hamachi servers before but I never played them cuz even if I got connected with people I still couldnt see them in Internet or Lan Lobbys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserKW Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 the people themselves bled this game to dead(and forum) by simply not playing online or post on this forum, so instead of whining, post/play more with that game.just look at C&C Renegade with the Renguard servers. game old as hell and there still a lot people playing there 200 persons a day is the average.

Gruntlord6 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Perhaps a simple app would help? I could make an app that lists everyone online at once, all you would need to do is have it running and fill out the info fields. That way all the different networks would be joined together.

steje Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Why would you even need a special "app"... just ask the users on the forum who are interested to create a special account on some agreed upon chat service (yahoo, icq, whatever) and everyone committ to only signing on to that account when they want to or are playing Emp?Make it the topmost sticky thread here in the forums, and ask people to check back on a weekly basis to post dates and times when they think they might be available to play ahead of time as well... I know sometimes you'll just play "whenever" you can without much notice - but if people can't make an effort to let others know "ahead of time" when they might make the effort to get together and play - then I don't think you've even got the building blocks of anything that will last than a short burst of time anyway.Nice to see 'some' interest outthere in this... I never played online back in the day. But I'd be interested in doing so if a server gets set back up. I'm new to these forums - and see references to "hamachi" or whatever - but haven't checked into what that's all about. I just sort of stumbled onto this forum looking for a way to create a new ISO backup of my discs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schorpie Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 What about arranging an emperor day for somewhere in March?Spreading the word to the old players on mail, msn, ... getting everyone together.Just some random sunday we pick as e:bfd day. hopefully with +- 20 people online at the same moment, playing some 3on3's ?I'dd be in.

But either way - ImgBurn choked on reading the disc with (I believe) a CRC error or some other read error... so it just wouldn't create an ISO. MagicDisc's option to "Make CD/DVD Image" did the trick though. Pleasantly surprising since it's such a lightweight tiny little virtual drive emulator.
