This universe has sparked my interest. Slow fleet, slow economy, close enough to what the original game once was. Ok, the DF percent is quite off and it comes with a giant turd named Lifeforms, but you can't have all, can you?
I decided to fire up an account and replay the start. Maybe, just maybe, i could enjoy an early game like it was supposed to be, which is quite a challenge by itself. Of course there might be whales, but i thought to myself: why someone would squander their money on a slow growth server like this one? At the first merge, all their efforts would turn out to be in vain.
So it begins. With a careful start, a focus on optimization, and the majority of the initial DM spent into mines i manage to sneak into the low-end of the top 100. As i was considering a small purchase to get the commanding staff, enjoy the extra rewards of the login event and further consolidate myself, i fire up the scoreboard and...
Ugh! Those people cannot leave one single server alone. They're like cockroaches, they infest everything. So long to my pipe dream of having at least a semblance of fair competition.
I'm already in uni1 where i have to deal with oversized Mastercard players and their desire to feed their ego. I don't need a second account where i would be in the exact same situation.
Farewell Undae, it's been fun
