Ea took it all down. and released the server source code. they didn't release the client code thou because too many people own rights to the graphics and music. hell, who wants the source code to a 2 gig game client anyways.

yeah but the client code is what makes an mmo an mmo.

imagine if we all had the woeld of warcraft server code but nothign to go with it? there would be no monsters, no nothing.

i have considered doing an mmo but am probably gonna start from scratch with visual3d.net

200 bux for a starter version to learn on isnt so bad.

Interesting sidenote.
I found out the people who made the Earth & Beyond client was Westwood one. the same people who screwed Gcomm out of Kyrandia.
