this is my count of tagged countries. less every set . we have lost two in the last couple of sets Ratski and Bru.

you wouldn't want the netters to rage quit. It would make the bots totally worthless.

I was wondering the other day, does anyone know what our peak numbers were as far as active players, in the height of E:2025?

2000-2001ish was prob the peak with somewhere around 20k countries. How many multis there were is up for debate, but there was prob a lot of multis.

Here is an example: https://web.archive.org/.../e1.swirve.com/top100.cgi

There are currently 18,364 players in game A.

Are there any other old archives? I was wanting to take a look at old clans but haven’t seen any. It would be a shame for them to be lost to time so quickly. This place needs a hall of fame for the best countries/players in different categories. Maybe take a vote among the players to see who is the most (category) like warmongers, netters, etc. it’s a shame that was never done in the old days either, I’m sure some players would enjoy being able to look through the games history and know who ran countries like evil war machine for instance. The great ones.

If you put in http://games.swirve.com/EARTH/ in webarchive there's a bunch of different timestamps you can jump around to.

Mad nostalgia all around, including just the UI of the old sites.

This one took me back, 17 tags with over 100 members - including the ridiculous "fluffY" tag that advertised their tagpass in their clan name with >600 members lol. https://web.archive.org/...andard/Mar01/cmembers.htm

Good times. Back when not one player was an obsessed bot farming noob. When hitting a player was a gamble and a thrill game of “will I keep the land and defend the retal” or will I lose the land and then some on the retal.

Now it’s hit me in 1a and I’ll ask the mods to delete you for griefing cuz we have bots and you are a low life POS for hitting players.

Lol

Good days of times past

SuperFly --Needs two thumbs up.

Look in the Way Back Machine for the old Directory of Alliances (http://wiki.earthempires.com/...hp/Directory_of_Alliances --- note that URL will not work, you have to use the Wayback Machine to find it -- http://web.archive.org}

Here is an example link. Got some great old names and memories!!!

Oh yea, MD, tie, arrow, sof, those bring back memories. I never played alliance really but I remember seeing them on the scoreboards.

Weird, the 1st post by farmer is removed?

yeah deleted..

Next guy to bring up said banned player gets to join him on a time out!

Gerd did it

Why? Which part of his post has violated the rules? Oo

It was in a violation of the personal criteria / feelings of whomever deleted it.

If I were you I’d govern myself accordingly and not press the issue further unless you are seeking a post deletion or time out! :P

As a side note - can we leave the posts in tact and have mods remove the content / edit the post with a standard message of why it was removed?

I second this, transparentcy and accountability seems to be an issue for our unelected volunteer mod(s).

What is going on. Who said what? :)

I think it was a fat finger delete by accident.
This happens if a mod is reading and a finger hits a button by accident.
Happens to the best of us.

That happens to me often when LGing. See an easy hit and somehow I click send attack 10 times.

Carry on amiga
