5/17/2012: The End is Near

[Enishi]

I have to agree 100% with Shokuma. Graphics were never important in EE, what kept me playing was really the story evolving and the way players got to shape it. What you gave us as a GM was just awesome.
I really wish the game can go on, although I fully understand you can only dedicate so much time to it. So again: thanks for all. It's been a blast.

[Utaku Mai]

Well, damn.

I have had so much fun playing this game, jay. If there's anything I can do to help (contributing to a fund to move to a dedicated website, maybe?) Don't hesitate to ask.

[Takezo]

Well, it's been a good run, Jay!

(am I the oldest active character now? )

[Tamori Manji]

I gotta agree with Shokuma and Enishi. This game is really the only one I remember where our decisions can make an important difference and that, in itself, is very rewarding. Besides, the nice (or weirdly funny) images that are associated with the missions, places and characters were always a very cool nod to the CCG and the RPG. By making me want to write about L5R, discuss the setting (both its strengths and shortcomings) and play the P&P RPG again, EE did more for me than any other facebook game ever will. It also gave me the opportunity to meet many interesting people along the way, unlike other facebook games.

I, like many others here, am more than willing to help keep EE alive if I can. Otherwise, it's been really cool while it lasted and, most of the times, really fun too. Thanks for everything Jay and, also, thanks everyone for helping make the game more than it already was ;D

[Bayushi Senshi]

Of course we care. I met my current roommate because of this game!

[Shoju]

Jay, what would it take to port the game off Facebook, and onto a private site? I'm not sure how the fb / pages are set up.

I too am a graphic designer but have been far too busy lately to redo the buttons.

What I could do, is pony up some cash for domain and hosting if it is possible to just... Port the pages and fb over to its own site using forms and the like. If bandwidth and space are an issue, my hosting provider for my personal uses is relatively cheap, and pretty trekking cool if that would be an option get ahold of me. Sadly this is my busy season so doing stuff like designing would need to wait until July when I slow back down again

[Shosuro Aroru]

...Hopefully you can work something out Jay. I disagree with a lot of the decisions/mistakes you've made recently, but you still put out a better game than any other facebook game. I hope you can find out a way to keep it going. Personally, I wouldn't even be upset if you just did a hard reboot either back in facebook or on a free site. The player influenced storyline you espoused kept it interesting and I'm sure a fair amount of us would be willing to start over with new characters in the same setting. Besides, then you can end the civil war and do it however you want. B)

I'll be sorry to see it go if it does come to that. I would love to see it continue.

[The Book Keeper]

I don’t know much about computers but if this get shipped and we all lose our characters honestly it would not bother me, it just means I get to spend time making a newer and better character, is there any way this could be put on Google + I know they have games on their site but beyond that i don’t know much. I just don’t want to lose this game I have made friends on hear and the is the only game i play, this has been the only RP i have been able to do since every group has fail so i just really hope this can continue. Thank you for all your hard work i have enjoyed this and i hope it can be go on.

[Shoju]

Jay, I was wondering if you and I could talk over Skype/fb messaging this weekend. I'm curious about some things, and may have an idea.

[Hida Joji]

I'm willing to help in the only way I can, which is to pledge currency to pay for some sort of hosting needed. I REALLY hope some sort of solution can be found.

If not, then, it's been GREAT and I wanna play whatever you guy will play next!

[Shoju]

I'm not going anywhere. My plan, when I left WoW at the end of June was goin to take the new free time to build a new forum.I have no problem with continuing to do that, and or helping build something else cool

[Yasuki Chad]

I would follow this game. Perhaps a paypal could be set up for donations if indeed Jay wishes to continue.

[Matsu Yoshino]

A kick starter could work as well!

If not, it's been a lot of fun!

[Akodo Kenzo]

Well... shit. I'm really sorry to hear that. Hopefully there's a way to save the game, either on FB or another site. If that's not in the cards, then I thank you for all the time and energy you've put into this project. It's been fun, and is in fact the only Facebook game that I play. Best wishes to you, and thanks for everything.
