Help me tell people how Earth Empires has been the same for so many years why you think its going to change we all fight each other and fluff about the out come We have been fighting each other here for years and years lol we all know when war is coming But we all fluff about it but we will never work together to recruit and build it back up so fluff it burn it down

i think by now most of us have told our friends and people who may be interested in the game we have played for 20+ years. those who would have been interested would have joined by now.

without some fancy android/iphone app and some updates i doubt we can find new players and grow

+bonus

Edit: we are quite still interested in growing EE. Most of us like it here right? So we really have to come together on recruiting drives. It's not 1998 where recruiting for our own clans is enough. We have to be game focused. So that clans grow organically.

Funny you mention that, me and some friends are working on developing a fancy android playable game inspired by earth2025. You can join the conversation if you want. Hit me up on discord. I am in the EE discord and you can PM me from there.

I also disagree. Retro gaming is super in right now. But literally no one helps recruit from outside the game. They still think sending ingame messages is going to work. They still think posting a forum recruiting message is going to find new players lingering in the shadows. they think posting in the very dead Earth2025 facebook group is gonna work. now that I look at it, the facebook group for E2025 has generated 10's of people. We could just keep working on them and get over 30 players by the end of 2025.

Its not going to work. We need more active mods, like adding some to make sure all time zones are covered. We need active players, like adding some. And we need a positive environment for these potential "kids" to play in. Kids are soft now, they wont come here to play if Coalie and Superfly are calling them names all day. They'll go cry into a pillow and quit. (Cue Superfly with Empy taunt)

Ya know what I mean?

Empy you are a toxic leader. You had a few new players under your team In lights / MKR that black hole recruited off Reddit.

You chased them away with your toxic leadership of getting them killed over and over again every round in teams and now you are doing the same with M4D.

Don’t be so toxic trying to fight the same losing fight over and over again. Work on your diplomacy and quit stacking enemies across multiple servers.

The soft kids as you call them don’t want to wall at 2am and restart from scratch multiple times in a round

Name calling? I call you an attention seeker and I’m I wrong in calling you that when you have said that you are quitting multiple times and you don’t cuz you are only attention seeking?

Empty,

You have been trash talking and toxic since you came back. I’ve always tried to be nice to you in the past. I don’t care what you think, you’re just a chronic troll.

You’ve been toxic to mercs, sol and pdm. You come on here to seek attention, and then cry about it when you get it.


Do you really even play the game? Look at your profile, you barely make it out of protection each set. You spend more time running your mouth on AT and Discord instead of running your turns. Your highest NW is $12 million. I always see people making fun of “rainbow Ratski” but his top country is higher NW than ALL of your sets combined. The most land your ever had is 37k acres.

Keep on trolling Empty. I’m glad I don’t have you as my teammate.

Wow I have never seen Empys profile until now

https://m.earthempires.com/profile/70010/alliance


You really don’t play the game and you just troll on the boards don’t you?

Damn. At least when I trash talk I can back it up with half decent profile stats……

I can address your concerns for you.
A. I am not toxic. I simply defend myself against people calling me a cheater when I have never done such a thing in 27 years of earth.

B. Defending myself against coalie and weezy and blackhole is not toxic. Its called I wont let you push me around like the basement dwelling bullies you are.

C. My stats reflect a country at war 100% of the resets since I got back, 4 months of inactivity due to surgery and, I dont care about stats. I care about doing what I got to do and if it means dying 100 times, so be it. (and let me add a father of 2, busy non stop all day long running a prison food service operation for 8 facilities, and being a good dad for my kids. EE, and you, mean nothing next to that. less than nothing in fact. )

Not my fault you cant handle somebody who pushes back against your bullying.

Who bullied you at PDM that you had to war? They haven’t warred in years

It’s was you and your boys at lights and MKR that tried to bully darkness out of teams.

It was you who bulled Mercs as well last 2 sets lol

Nobody at PDM is my enemy, but they definitaly don't now how to approach me or FA for any of their gripes. At least not to my knowledge, maybe they try, I have no idea but there is a room they have access too that they don't utilize to discuss problems. they come here and gripe.

Seems like it’s a you problem.

Not a pdm/mercs/sol problem.
The 3 of us talk to each other and get along fine.

I get along with PDM just fine tiger. I also get along, until today, with the SOL leader. Its a you problem for sure. You have your fair share of taunting me for no reason in discord when I wasn't even part of the conversations there. So good job chief. In reality where I live, I always treat you nicely but you cant seem to figure that out. Good try though sport.

I have had you blocked in discord for months.

I decided to unblock you and you decided to ping me about your dumbass country name in coop.
Then I blocked you again.

I didnt ping you. I dont know why you're making stuff up now.

I dont see how this helps recruiting efforts boys. Perhaps you should stay on topic.

You really need an iOS and Android APP. In the USA there are wayyyyy more iOS users. Also iOS users tend to financially support apps they like more.

Just some food for thought. I would recommend a cross-platform framework with one codebase that outputs Android and iOS Apps. With a simple text-based game like this, it would work great.

I would recommend Flutter or React Native btw.

Feel free to join the discord. Just shoot me a message on discord.
"Empyrean"

Or if not, your suggestion is welcome. Growing earthempires in particular, on this website, is crucial at this point. Things seem grim.

The priority is for this game is not just survive, it should thrive! Its easy to do and builds friendships that last a lifetime.

Fellow Warriors of Earth Empires,

For years, our conflict has followed the same tired cycle. We rally for war knowing full well that when the dust settles, our endless griping about the outcomes is all that remains. Every time war looms, we jump into the fray only to fall back into the same patterns of bickering and division.

Just look at our history: we've spent years fighting each other over scraps of victory and blame, never pushing hard enough to truly build something lasting. Our endless disputes have made it clear—unless we can break free from this cycle of infighting, we'll never unite to recruit new strength or rebuild our lost glory. We’ve become so consumed by our petty grievances that any real collective progress has become nearly impossible.

Maybe it's time to face the hard truth. Our current system isn’t getting us anywhere. If we continue to tear each other apart without any real attempt at collaboration or renewal, all we’re left with is stagnant chaos. Perhaps the only way to break free from this perpetual loop is to let the old, worn-out ways burn away—clearing the field for a fresh start built on unity and rebirth.

Sound harsh? Maybe. But we've spent too long pretending things will improve on their own. The future of Earth Empires isn’t in more of the same old fighting but in boldly letting go of our broken past so that something new can rise from the ashes.

This message captures both the frustration of years spent in recurring conflict and the radical desire for a fundamental change. It’s a call for us to look at our actions honestly—if we don’t start working together or rethinking our approach, we’re doomed to repeat our history again and again.

If you’d like to explore ways to channel this dissatisfaction into a constructive plan (or at least a more organized rebellion), we can brainstorm ideas on how to foster genuine collaboration instead of merely tearing things down.

How are you doing mob?

We can grab some beers or a few fingers of scotch next week in Houston and discuss.

and enemies that last into the grave

Chevs is far from a loser! Who else would FS a clan and post a McDonalds receipt as evidence he didn’t do it!

HA HA HA
HA
HA HA
HA

HAHAHA
HA
HAHA
HA

i miss chevs green guy videos. admins banning a good source of lawlz characters is sad :(

Damn kids

This thread was about finding ways to recruit people to the game. Didn't take long before the name callings started lol.

I mean with Coalie and Superfly around, name calling is Never not expected.

Just saw this. You're such a liar superfly. lol. MKR was in teams for like 4 days before DARK, FREEDOM, and 2 other tags jumped me.

MKR has nothing to do with lights. MKR was it's own thing that I wanted to do.

Confirmed. I joined MKR to have fun wiith Empy and we immediately got swarmed lol.

Empy= Iscode

There's always one.

When One leaves the game
another arrives like magic,
except it is real.

I remember the name, but not the tude. You couldnt be more wrong about me. You should have a conversation instead of stereotyping me.

But I know you won't. So I'll lump you in with the others.

So what's your take on recruiting for the game?

Oh please you always come after the same group in teams and in alliance.

Get a life your profile was already exposed you are nothing more than a pest.

OK. 27 years to be pest. Got it. Just remember you started this.

Pestpyrean,

27 years and..

Highest finish: $13 mil Networth
Most land: 37K acres

Gotcha.

Coalie.

I don't give a flying fluff about scores you simpleton.
I care about my kids and my life. You're scum to me bro.

Keep it game-related please. Thank you.

Please follow these rules Empyrean or I will be forced to report you to the moderation discord

“ Trash talk is fine in moderation but it should be focused on a clan or a country instead of a personal attack.”

Coalie you suck ass at building a country.

(just an example, personal attack but game related)

caught in a lie again as again. you mentioned my name first to start another bickering fest on another thread. You seriously are giving me black hole vibes in always calling me out on every thread that is not remotely related to me and then acting like I am the one starting beefs on every thread after i reply to you never ending taunts.

please go learn how to play the game. Maybe try express a few times and see if you can reach $10 million NW for the first time or go play coop and you will have 2 months to break $10 mill NW and no excuses that someone killed you off. Although you attract so much negativity and war from others so watch the bots be allowed to hit in an upcoming set and they end up killing you off cuz you somehow managed to piss off Earth Empires AI...

This thread and how you people act is why the game will not grow lol.

HH you hit the nail on the head with that comment

The first round of Earth: 2025 was held in October, 1996 and was developed by Solaria Games, created by Mehul Patel. Solaria Games also began offering non-game services such as e-cards and message boards in 1997. With these non-game related services, it broadened the scope of Solaria and rebranded itself Solaria Interactive. Following the rebranding came a MMOBG called Utopia. Solaria Interactive experienced increased popularity due to the birth of Utopia. With the two anchor MMOBGs of Earth: 2025 and Utopia gaining new players, Solaria Interactive renamed itself Echelon Entertainment in January, 1999. Though the company continued to add new services and features to its site, Earth: 2025 and Utopia still maintained the highest interest from users. In May 2000, Echelon Entertainment became Swirve.com, Inc., and later transitioned owners, Swirve being sold by Mehul to Jolt/OMAC Industries in 2008. The game evolved fairly continually at first, but later stagnated, and virtually no changes were made once Mehul sold the game.

See above. I’ve been around a while. I’ve literally used the tag/handle “Solaria” in some fashion for every game/username I’ve ever played. I saw another thread with some of the oldest/youngest players of the game. I believe I was around 12 when I first saw my uncle playing Earth: 2025. I created an account on dial-up internet the moment I went home. Actually created a Utopia account too.

Here’s my point. The game died. It died because of the very same reason that I left years later; games with graphics. In that same weekend I was playing Nintendo 64 Golden Eye 007 on a 72 inch projection screen tv. That was also awesome. And obviously a lot more people wanted that. Only the hardcore remained it seemed.

But there was something about a text based MMO that drew me in. Now, almost 27 years later I’m still here. Off and on albeit. After starting back in a few years ago I think I found the answer as to why it remains. Community. All of you. There’s friendship. Rivalry. Camaraderie. Trust that this game will still provide entertainment and a sense of nostalgia and belonging.

So, my point is, it really shouldn’t be personal. Maybe it’s not and I may be reading these threads too literally. But at the end of the day, we’re all sort of torch-bearers. If we want the game to not “un-alive”, maybe we can continue to bring people in and see it for what it really is. A way to build community. Show it to your kids. If an 8-bit game can influence these young minds, why not some words, math, algorithms, and interaction?

Solaria,
Earth 2025 began as a game of strategy. Build a better country by taking from others while protecting your own.

It required skill to develop the best strategy. The introduction of bots removed the need. The excuse that no one has time for the game is false when you see the amount of land and NW at the end of each 1A set. Takes a bit of time to hit all those bots.
The strategy game has turned the game site into yet another Social Media site with folks branching out ot apps such as whatsapp, Discord, and many others over the years.

A handfull of folks that got tired of the defensive side of the game begged and received the bots. This small population got what they wanted and the rest of the folks left.

P.S. I still remember when AT was a place of smack talk among Alliances and, sometimes, individual countries. Now as a Social Media platform, it has become a site for attacks on the personal level. Folks looking for attention. All we need to expand this current version of AT is a "Like" button and then we can really grow this social media site....Damn kids.

P.S.S. Prove my point. It is the year 2025. Who would have thought that when some of us began playing Earth 2025, in the late 90's, that this gane would still be here.
Would be cool to remove Bots from 1A for the rest of 2025 and see who stays, see if we can grow. IF it doesn't work, then stop the slow death of 1A and just get it over with.

I don’t disagree. I’m not a programmer/coder nor was I around when bots became highly predominant and necessary to maintain gameplay. But what I do know is that if you can bring people back to the game then the bots should disappear proportionally. It’s just like the real world in that we’re replacing jobs/positions with bots. That’s why I feel like the way forward is to bring in a new generation to go backwards. If that makes any sense.

Read my P.S.S above :)

Wow some can call people scum and not get a ban i can see the fairness here for sure

I recruited for TIE for decades. had two full notebooks with emails and such. miss the days of 200 new apps every set. yeah we need to get the word out about the game. plenty of ppl I am sure would play if they knew about it.
one way would be to email the heck out of all the old players that played in the past.
I recruited general nero in like 7th grade, now he has two kids. thats the type of players would love to get back.

I thought maybe even do like a bowling league, these clans vs those clans in war and in netting. I have played for decades with most of yah, but do not really know that much about sum players.

I am a good judge of character, and I can tell you this game is loaded with characters lol. to me the most fun of the game is sitting in war rooms and laughing at all the comments.
we need to get the word out. know some weird people???? they would be perfect for the game.

I have recruited many old timers....they come back, see the game changes, and don't even stay the whole set. With bots, there is no longer a strat competition and no need to play strats that involves off and def strats....."boring'
