I remember a long, long, long time ago (before EVO) there was a group of people working on a multiplayer EV. Just wondering, was that ever finished? Was another attempt made if it wasn't? And if not, why not? I know some of you people have the knowledge to do this and too much free time to do it in, and I need a decent multiplayer game for when my friends come over. Hell, if I knew how, I'd do it myself, but I don't so I can't. Ambrosia seems to be dead against it, but by gee, by golly, by crikey, SOMEONE has to do it! It needs to be done! (insert extra insane ranting here)
Anyway, net EV would be extremely cool, and it would give everyone (with a mac, hahaha :p) something to do other than hang around on these webboards. Don't you all think those poor webboard people need a break from our insane rantings? That's enough from me, I need sleep.

Many people have tried to make EV/O net compatible. No one has succeded yet, and Ambrosia doesn't support it. Barely any one does. EV/O is a one player game. netting it might ruin the experience.

Many have tried to, many have failed. The Ares Project takes a shot at it, I think, and seems to be doing well - but my only friend in it, Athena, has been gone from AIM for a while, so I wouldn't know where it's up to. Honestly, though, if they are EVER going to make a multiplayer game of that type, they should try it for Nova. Nova > Multiplayer EVO. Multiplayer Nova > *. So, no point for someone wasting their time.

I wonder how many times this question has been brought up...
Probably the same number as andrew's post count - too many.

Nope, none of the "projects" to make a multiplayer EV have ever come anywhere near being finished. The closest thing would be (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/~mburch/exobattle/")ExoBattle,(/url) mburch's 3D "test" game, which features a Manta.
As for Ambrosia doing its own mutliplayer EV game, right now the official position is "never".
