what can we bribe him with? is he still involved with WW or EA or whoever? maybe you could let them know we are supporting the miniseries and stuff and if EA could just sent that lil movie that used to play on the WW Emperor site hey who knows maybe more ppl would buy dune. But Im not trying to do any ones job ya know they can take the credit, I'll just take 25% of sales ;) ;D

who cares about the site? it hadn't been updated in 13 months anyhow.

that dead site served no purpose at all.

if you are gonna get anything fixed, get the ladders back. but this time have cheating be policed, and fix the 2vs2 BC bug that makes the game not count if one guy quits

like EA would ever do anything about it, tho ::)

Umm.. just for the record. Emperor did sell a lot of units. More than a half-million people bought the game, so that is actually better than a whole lot of games out there, including some other RTS games (except the big ones like Blizzard's & Ensembles').

It just did not sell 'enough' units to be considered a big game by EA, who is used to much larger numbers, like say, Madden, FIFA, Sims, Red Alert2, etc.

Did those huge numbers of people, play online & matchmake... umm...no. Did the ones that did stay around long, ...um..no. Did people leave Red Alert2 MP in droves to play Emperor instead? ...um..no..

Medium sales + Real Good Reviews - low Online interest - competition w/RA2 & Yuris - summer launch = "Emperor sales were a disappointment".

..

does not = nobody bought the game.

So, if everyone who pirated the game, actually bought the game and played online for a few months.. it would have turned out much much different. :) Doh!

ARGH :O

And i always thought that the game wasn't supported because not many people bought the game and because of EA, now i know that it's all EA's fault >:(

More reasons to keep that little line in my signature.
