"WAREZ a term used by software pirates use to describe a cracked game or application that is made available over the Internet, usually via FTP/IRC/P2P, often the pirate will make use of a site with lax security. Widely used in cracker subcultures to denote cracked version of commercial software, that is versions from which copy-protection has been stripped. Hackers recognize this term but don't use it themselves. The WAREZ mentality discussed in this article connotes the mindset of the hackers/crackers who make this copyrighted media available. "

Earth and beyond most likely shut down because they tried to compete in the next new big market(MMOGs) which is only a couple years old. The problem is that they have to compete with games like Everquest, Ultimate Online(yes people actually still play this...I think), Anarchy Online, Dark Ages of Camelot, Star Wars Galaxies, Planet Side, and couple others that I cant think about atm. The largest out of them is EQ with over like 400,000, maybe close to 450k, active accounts.

You also have to remember with the Graphics with EQ, its what, 6 year old game, and they had to make it where the PC's actually had to be able to run it back then, some of the zones in there are freaking huge and there are to many things that can go into it.

EA Sucks.
Just trying to be helpful.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

I'm just wondering how long it's going to be until we get news like this for WOL...
I like many of you don't look forward to going to gamespy, I play Call of Duty and Halo on gamespy and the community is lacking a few IQ points to say the very least.

I think both have their fair share of idiots. I run a server on WOL, and quite frankly, many of the players on there are seemingly retarted. I've been working with some trying to get them to to type out "you" instead "u" for the last three months.
