Facebook has announced that as of June 6, "FBML apps will no longer work on Platform. All FBML endpoints will be removed." Emerald Empire is an FBML application, and unfortunately I do not have enough bandwidth to rewrite the game to work around this; so, in all likelihood, EE will go down on June 6. I hope you all have enjoyed the game. In the time that remains I will try to wrap up as many campaign plotlines that I can. ![](http://www.esteemedhouse.com/ee/images/Action/StrengthoftheTsunami.jpg) The mighty earthquake fish thrashes in Earthquake Fish Bay and the crashing waves have flooded Yasuki Yashiki and Clearwater Village. The Crab army hastens to cross the Tidal Land Bridge as the waters rise, but some say they might be better served to turn back. Aftershocks of the earthquake have been felt as far away as the Carpenter Wall. Meanwhile, hotheaded Lion and Unicorn samurai have nearly come to blows at Drowned Merchant River over who was at fault for the defeat at the Castle of the Swift Sword.

That is really a shame and its unfortunate that we can't do anything to help you with this problem (can we?). My most sincere thanks for all the amazing effort you've put into this game and setting Jay, it literally made me start playing P&P L5R again and if L5R CCG was an LCG I would probably be playing it again too. Thank you ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)

Perhaps some sort of crowdsourcing could be done.
Is there any chance that we could just make this a temporary outage? I guess that might not be practical anyway since we'd likely lose a lot of people.

A great pity. It has been a great game. I agree with both, if something can be done I believe many players would give it a try. And of course thank you very much for entertaining us all this time.

Wow, thanks for the kind words. I really thought you guys must be tired of the game by now.
In theory, to keep the game going I would need to convert the game from an FBML application to an iFrames application. (Basically, a lot of programming work.) I have been meaning to do this for months, but have never been able to find enough time to do it. (I also wish that I could make the game as shiny and glossy as some of the newer facebook games out there, but there's only so much I can do as a lone wolf programmer.)
With the deadline now rapidly approaching, I figured it would be best to spend the time I've got to wrap up as many of the plot threads that I can.

Perhaps if we tried to croudsource the conversion work, we could freeze the EE-continuity now and the time between now and the relaunch as an iFrames based app?

Wow, thanks for the kind words. I really thought you guys must be tired of the game by now. All the drama that happens here on the forums is because the players care. I also wish that I could make the game as shiny and glossy as some of the newer facebook games out there, but there's only so much I can do as a lone wolf programmer.) Shiny and glossy is just window dressing, it means nothing. What you have given us is true content, plot that we helped shape, that engages our interest as players. I've found that in no other facebook game, and as far as I'm concerned, your work is worth that of a dozen of these companies that spam out endless numbers of facebook games for the sleeping masses.
