2004-03-16 : Important Announcement
Earth & Beyond Says Goodbye
Starting September 22, 2004, Earth & Beyond will no longer be in service. After an amazing two years of galactic adventure, Electronic Arts has made the decision to close Earth & Beyond in order to focus resources on future games.

Please check your email associated with your Earth & Beyond game account for updates and more information on what this closure means to you. We hope you've enjoyed the game as much as we have and that we'll see you again in another great EA game!

For more information, please visit www.enb.com.

Thank you,

The Earth & Beyond Team

#$%# EA. They don't know anything about what makes the customer happy. They shut down every game at some point, even when many people still play it.

What I wonder is from the point with the most activity, percentagewise, what are they at right now?

I guess they decided that not enough people would be mad that they are closing down, so they are.

No, TD, RA1, TS, FS, RA2, YR, Ren, Gen and ZH are still being supported by EA. When EA stop supporting them, we will still have XWIS and similars... so there is nothing to worry with.

XWIS?

XWIS. It's a program made by Olaf Van Der Spek that emulates a WOL in a server. So, when you use the connect tool that Olaf made, and you open your C&C game and click in the internet option, your game will be taken to this server and it will treat it like it treats WOL...

Why Play on XWIS?
- Chat is enabled
- The servers are fully supported, and hosted by EA Community Team providing reliability.
- Cheaters and spammers banned
- Prizes for all skill levels
- XWIS Buddies to help and train players

Yeah, those people there are quite weird, they talk incomprehensible language (BrEeZaH stuff) and are likely younger than me (or act so) so big change they're intolerant.

yep...

I don't like how you can't play custom maps tho...
I guess to prevent cheaters, but there are many good maps out there...
