As you probably already knew with the date being the 1st of April the EEPLANET sued incident never happened. In other news there has been two new interviews posted at 2404.org and Strategy Informer about the upcoming Empire Earth III. Both talk about some interesting points and contain some good bit of information.
Here is quote from the 2404.org interview explaining more about the new resource system and how its handled.
'We do keep the diversity of resource collection with forests to fish to harvest; they just all end up into a single raw materials pile. We also provide a means to generate wealth that doesn’t use the environment so much as it relies on players to set up trade routes between their markets, natives, and other civilizations. Empire Earth 3 moves away from the micro-management of specific resources to just two types used in the recipes to create players empires providing more focus and attention to world domination.'
You can go read both of the interviews in full at the Strategy Informer and 2402.org website.

I have been receiving numerous emails which originally I thought was a prank actually turned out to be very real. A shop known in America apparently owns the full copyright name of EEPLANET, which is what their shop is actually called. Despite this being not a commercial site the owners have threatened to start a law suit and are actually planning to sue EEPLANET. They have emailed some paper work and it seems they have a case and are using the 'google banners' on the previous site implying that we are making profit from the name.
My hands seem to be tied and I have no choice but to shut down the site for good or otherwise face a legal battle that could cost me everything. I am just as shocked as you are and deeply distressed that this has happened. I thank all the moderators and the EE community for their support but I must now say goodbye and wish you all good luck for the future.
