atrd3m0n Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 Well guys, since the release of Generals I have noticed an awful silence in the lobby.I have to wait longer and longer for a game, and at any given time there are atmost 2 or 3 games open, seldom more.So I am asking myself, and you, Has Emperor finally breathed its last breath..? ???Greetz Doom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 Hasn't WOL been down the last day or so? I've noticed a lot of people having problems connecting. But Generals is going to reduce the number of people playing, Emperor will never die out completely though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atrd3m0n Posted February 16, 2003 Author Share Posted February 16, 2003 no I've been able to play, but last time I wanted to check the ladders I couldnt, it was just a white field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anklbter8 Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 well there has been no updating of the ladders for over a day now. the ladders are not upating and you cannot access the clan manager any more. that was a big part of the game that we may never see now. :'( i will play till the day it is no longer though.

Apollyon Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 no I've been able to play, but last time I wanted to check the ladders I couldnt, it was just a white field.I cant get online, same as many ppl. Maybe thats why you see less games, it has nothing to do with generals its just that WOL is down for some ppl =). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rigel6669 Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 I will play emperor till the last day ....But true, clan manager is closed down and there are not many games running lately... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Rhetoric Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 No,as some of you may know...GENRALS SUCKS! 8) So people will soon come back after they see(finally)that playing with lego men isn't that good compared with Emperor!So,it will NEVER die.At least not in our hearts and minds.*Cries and applauds for himself* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taqwa11 Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 I love Emperor. It is still one of the two best RTS games I've ever played. Generals is the other. I've played about 8 games now in Generals, and it is AWESOME. I think I'll still play Emperor, though, because I usually win when I play it, whereas with Generals I usually lose. LOL. I hate to see Emperor go down without a fight--out with a squeak rather than a bang. Please, keep playing Emperor whether you get Generals or not. Those of us who love Emperor don't want to go to the lobby and sit there and see nothing, because if that happens too often, Emperor is indeed dead.

jager40 Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 I'm afraid by shuting down the Clan system WW or whoever runs the ebfd server now. Is giving us the boot soon. By slowly taking away our options in the game they forcing us all to either buy a new game (Generals) or to just quit. WW/EA PA has no interest in keeping the game going. I will play till the end. EBFD is probably one of the funnest and Addictive games I have ever played. The end will come soon. I bet sooner than we all expect. But like I always say I hope I'm wrong. LONG LIVE EMPEROR: BATTLE FOR DUNE!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyarlathotep Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 Give it time. A lot of people have problems running Generals, believe me, I know. Once people played, or tried to play a few games of Generals, those who have EBFD will return :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
