It's actually a pinned thread tonight: Thread: Remember the space-themed online RPG "Earth & Beyond" ? // IT'S BACK ONLINE // --GLP Starfleet Assemble!--

It was an "old" game from 2002-03 (but still looks kinda good, IMHO). EA bought out the parent company and then trashed the game, leaving paying subscribers and fans drifting in dead space. Thirteen years later, a dedicated public resurrected it and recreated (reprogrammed) a fully-playable, free (as in cost) environment reusing the defunct game client and resources, in addition to releasing three extra classes that were unplayable during the game's original lifespan.

I'm playing it right now. :)
