    Hi all,


    On Wednesday 10th of August, we will update all the live rounds to version 9.0.2-pl4.

    This will be a long maintenance that considers several steps and stages.


    You can find the 9.0.2 changelog on this thread, plus one addition specific to pl4:

    • Lifeforms building order fixed.
    • Debris Field from Expedition combats has now a limit (it affects version, doesn't matter if Lifeforms are active or not)

    The changelog concerns mostly universes with Lifeforms active, apart of that the version only brings some backend fixes and some more preparation for the mobile app.


    The maintenance will have 2 phases:

    • At 09:00 Server Time (10:00 CEST), we will update all the OGame.org universes to the latest 9.0.2-pl4 version (LF universes included).
    • All other communities will receive the update at 13:00 CEST.

    Please also pay attention to the following:


    • All players worldwide will be disconnected at each phase (10:00 CEST and 13:00 CEST).
    • All the universes that will be updated from 8.7.4-pl5 to 9.0.2-pl4 will have an attack block when the maintenance starts.
    • All universes that are already on version 9.0.2 will have short logout and the maintenance affecting those universes will be normal and short.

    The attack block that affects the 8.7.4-pl5 servers will be active from 08:45 until 17:00 UK Server time (09:45 until 18:00 CEST).


    NOTE: The lifeforms extension won't yet be active on the old universes!

    Hi all,


    Some problems were found during the update today and we will not proceed with the update in the communities and servers scheduled to 13:00.


    The update on EN is still ongoing (this is why most unis are currently unavailable), but Universe 1, Quantum and Graveyard had a backup done for 07:00 Server Time (08:00 CEST).


    As soon as we have a new date for the rollout in the rest of the communities, it will be announced.


    Please note:

    • Since Nusakan FR and Ursa SK are sharing the host with one of the affected rounds, these two servers may, currently, experience issues with login and registering accounts.
    • Since the graveyard will now have a different version from all rounds, except EN, it will not be possible for accounts to moved to and from there.
    • The attack block will stay until 17:00 server time (18:00 CEST).


    Best Regards,

    Your OGame Team

    Hello again!


    All the live rounds should now be available with the latest game version.

    Graveyard will be available soon.


    Please keep in mind that due to the different versions, only accounts from OGame.org will be moved into and from the graveyard. Other communities won't have Graveyard transfers until the servers are with the same version.


    Cheers,

    Hi all,


    Let's try this again, as on Thursday 11th of August, at 10:00 Server Time (11:00 CEST), we will continue with the version 9.0.2-pl4 maintenance.


    For the time being, this maintenance will only affect the following universes, which are already on V9:

    • Leda.cz
    • Juno.de (will also be moved to another server)
    • Rhea.dk
    • Juno.es
    • Lacerta.fr
    • Hyperion.gr
    • Wezn.hu
    • Isonoe.it
    • Kallisto.mx
    • Xanthus.nl
    • Isonoe.pl
    • Aquarius.pt
    • Dione.ru
    • Gaspra.tr
    • Polaris.tw
    • Zenith.us

    We don't have a date yet for when the servers that currently have version 8.7.4-pl5 will be updated, but as soon as it is decided, we will let you know.

    Hello commanders!


    Due to some issues that needed to be solved before, the rollout was delayed.

    One of the affected rounds was Gaspra and we needed to apply a backup from 08:00.

    (all the premium that was purchased after 08:00 will be send again to the affected accounts).


    We apologise for any inconvenience.


    Your OGame Team


    EDIT: This rollout was pushed through at 12:00 server time (13:00 CEST). ~Rav3n

    Hi all,


    Next week, we'll be pushing the version 9.0.2-pl4 update to the remaining servers still on version 8.7.4-pl5.


    The update will be divided in 3 days: 16.08 (Tuesday), 17.08 (Wednesday) and 18.08 (Thursday) according with the following table:

    br gr ro
    cz hr ru
    de hu si
    dk it sk
    es jp tr
    mx tw
    nl us
    pl


    The update will always start at 10:00 (CEST) and the affected communities on each day will have an attack block from 09:45 until 18:00 CEST and players will be disconnected when maintenance starts.


    REMINDER: These servers will not yet have Lifeforms activated!

    Dear Community,


    Next Thursday, November 3, we will apply version 9.0.7 on live universes.

    This version adds nothing visible from the game side and it's mostly improvements on internal systems that are needed.


    As usual we will have a 2 phases maintenance:

    - 10:00 CET we will apply on OGame.org universes

    - 13:00 CET we will apply to the rest of the communities.
