AS C Dell said it would be really nice to get the Client code would make it allot easier to update the graphics of the game !and help in other areas also.


If EA were to actually release the source code for the client, what are some things that the team could do that they cannot currently do without the source code? (out of curiosity)

We would have a more solid understanding of how the client works, which would lead to greater connection stability, allow us more control over in-game graphics, allow us to change the in-game GUI, add features, etc. Essentially, it would allow us to do whatever we want.

hrm let me think... let EA upset me again when they cancel it again without ever really focusing on it for all the money I paid them, or play in community driven game, run by people who care about both the game and people playing it!!

I'll got for the latter please!

as for the comments about about getting the source code for the client, that would obviously be fab... we just need a mole inside the company.

Would I pay a sub fee to play EnB hell yes I would and I would be happy to do it. I loved this game when it was live and played it up until the day they pulled the plug. Would I pay EA a sub fee to play it, not a fat chance in hell. They already killed it once and looking back on it now after playing on Emu since Monday (yes I just found this all last weekend and logged in for the first time in almost 6 years on Monday) the support, development, content updates and improvement, and GM availability in live was severely lacking. I also wouldn't trust EA not to turn around and pull the plug again in a year.

Now in my personal opinion EA should either open source the game or license/grant rights to the community to do with it as we please. Doing so would encourage the community to prosper and allow for even further advances from were we stand now. Including more robust options to update the client as well as server content. This would also allow the emu team to charge a reasonable fee for server access and their time instead of relying on community generosity to keep them going (not that the community isn't generous I have seen the donations information that is posted and plan on donating myself after payday).

Moved posts that were talking more about updating graphics than EA starting up again. Let's stay on topic :)
