Merge 2025 - ORG community

    DamienWeeds You ou can do 50% more expos in wurren right now then in universe 1. But i have no idea why he is saying "you will regret it". I think alot of players from wurren will regret moving to vega because they don't understand what it means to play on 2x (3x basically for fleeters with buffs) compared to 1x(2x) speed...I think vega players are really waiting in anticipation for 1x people to arrive in their universe :fatgreengrin::fatgreengrin:. If you are casual player Damien i think you'll make right choice by accepting less expos but staying at usual war speed you are used to. :thumbsup:


    14 expo slots


    Universe 1

    120min / expo

    16hours > 112 expos


    Wurren

    80min / expo

    16 hours > 168 expos

    These merges fits into the cynical death spiral GF has committed ogame to, so i guess its not too surprising. You either play a new uni for around a year max, or commit to DM your way into an old uni. This approach to merges pretty much eliminated "middle" unis that last 2-5 years, but i guess it makes sense since those arent as profitable. Its nice for mods to engage with community about this but in the end its all sugarcoating

    Many players complain because they don't like the merger, but given the activity rate, it's more than necessary to do so, because staying in a dead universe isn't very motivating.


    The only solution to keep as many universes as possible to satisfy the greatest number of people is to have a large number of operators. After all, you get nothing for nothing. But here's the harsh reality: no one wants to get involved. It's also up to you to make sure that the larger the staff, the easier it will be to organise better and do more.

    What number of "operators" got to do with the quality/planning of the merge?

    Also considering number of universes is being reduced :confused:

    You have no idea what you talking about.Considering that many stuff members dont even play the game is also one of the reasons we have reached this point of no return.

    What dribble and tripe.


    Having been staff, it's complete bull to think that having more would result in better outcomes. Look at Master Yoda and Blankie. They were lynched because they stood up for the community.


    Having staff members that actually understood and played the game to a decent level would be good but alas here we are.


    Having a CoMa that actually engaged with their supposed community would be good.


    Best we get is Weetha having too many beers and throwing out vouchers every now and again. Oh and false promises of "don't worry next time we will listen*"


    *But we are going to sack all the good ones and change the coma then say...oops.

    I won't comment on the choices made regarding the merger of universes because I found out about them at the same time as you did. And that's not my role.


    So I don't have all the ins and outs. But I can tell you from experience (in another community) that making a merger plan that pleases the majority of the community is not an easy thing to do. This is due to both constraints from the company and technical constraints.

    In any merger, there are good and bad aspects, but it's a necessary step in order to move forward. And I have no doubt that the community will adapt to play its favourite game.


    I think your reactions have been heard (as an Admin may have told you, but unfortunately it's too late for this year given the deadline), and show your interest in the community, which is why I mentioned numbers, because we can never have too many people investing in the community.

    They could at least for the next merger compile a list of possible target uni's that are within the constraints as set by GF, and let the community vote for the targets. Now we are forced to adapt, why not forced to engage?

    Why are the target unis the same with the exception of one uni, 261 fafnir.


    https://prnt.sc/TZfehmkZhVn7


    Is it possible to have fafnir added to group one. Zodiac and and Fafnir are very closely aligned, and good spread between the top ten players. Zodiac is being forced to merge into unis where the top 10-100 are 3bn-100bn point players which seems pretty ridiculous to say the least.

    i have already made a post regarding pathetic notice for merges being announced 4days before they start but i now see why is that, i can not believe for a second that the plans was made and finalized now, the choice to delay announcement goes hand to hand with oops its to late to change now but next time for sure!


    however it would be foolish to think that given 2months notice our feedback would have achieved anything , merges need to happen that is true, but shit show this one is does not.


    more staff that is as detached from the game/community and as clueless and power tripping reddit mod is not the answer here , a rep that reps the community is ,but those are hard to come by


    why you think that you are consistently recruiting mods/go's since years and years, there is only same players around here new ones represent 1% , and having burned through all the good ones , your only choice remaining is the bad ones or those who dont want nothing to do with it


    most of us who spoken here know this game in and out, its mechanics, formulas, limitations quirks and ways to do things unfamiliar to 99% of go's/ga's i came across, yet those are the mods in charge of tickets, the level of understanding the game and its players is lacking from those in charge of maintaining game fairness.


    we dont need more mods , we need mods who know how to play the game and someone on top other than yes man


    again all that moot point, its to late now, it was always to late anyhow


    as my sig shows org is no longer my coms, .hu/.de is my home now and from simple observation its far better managed than org ever will be


    peace out folks

    What a thrilling and enjoyable read that was.


    Org merges will never have a happy community regardless of choices given but it is entertaining.


    To anyone reading this in the far future, I highly suspect you are in universe 1 by now, if only you could have seen this message earlier you would have just started or chosen to be there to begin with.

    25 years ago this one was the elite community, where the best players from localized servers would graduate into, where you would meet and battle the top hunters from across the globe and where each member of the staff was a seasoned player first, a staffer second.


    Look at it now.

    uni1.en - Supernoob

    as everyone else has said, these merge options are atrocious. why not merge similarily developed universes, instead of bringing a tiny new uni into a big old uni, why not merge same age unis? I feel this would be the obvious choice.


    you're literally putting a 12 year old in the ring with mike tyson with these merge options.

    dont be weakling ))) , do RIGHT FS and no ONE can HARM you... ))) stop cry - just adapt ))

    it has nothing to do with being crashed or not, its the fact that GF is merging smaller unis into larger more well established uni with solidified alliances. With this round of merges, they are merging unis with top ten players with 1-3bn points into unis with top 10 players that have over 50bn - 100bn points. Do you understand how big of a leap that truly is? GF is forcing you to either PAY to keep up or just stick with your little account and just log in to click some mines and thats it..

    Sorry, my previous post was a mistake


    It is not that simple Odinogame.

    It is not about personal safety against opponents. Everybody knows how to do proper FS and protect himself.

    It is not even about position on the scoreboard.

    It is about planet placements (distribution and position).

    And, what is much more important, it is about well established alliances with well defined safe zones etc. which will be disbanded and the big question is whether in the new environment they will be able to establish themselves as before and find free space for their safe zones.

    Maybe You don't mind that, but me, as a leader of No 1 alliance in Wurren, I am very much concerned about my alliance and its 75members.

    Oh really? So what will you say to me, player who started to play uni1 from scratch?? I play for 13 months now and im on 1.2bil points. I buy commanders and slots which end up costing less then 20€ month if you buy on 100% and discounts + leftovers . I've watched guys go from like 80bil points to 185bil now. What has changed into universe beside those whales buying points? NOTHING. We all still play the same game we played 1 year ago.


    You are not safe in wurren because of your planet positions and safe systems. You are safe because your universe is dead, or better to say you have no dedicated fleeters. I understand your position on this, but you can find safe systems in uni1. Go on ptre and find empty systems, there are plenty to take but those won't make you safe if you leave resources and fleet sitting.

    i got a question ? im in a UNI with x4 Peacefull Fleet speed and it takes 50m to fly between 2 planets, if i move to a Uni with 1x Peacefull Fleet Speed does it take 50mx4 so 200 minuttes for the same Distance or is there someone who can help me to figure out how long ?.
