I am done with Ogame and here is why. This game has changes from being a fun game were you spend like 10usd a month on for some little extra stuff but now you have to spend 10k+ just to get in the top 10. And in the past you will actually be exited when a new uni is announced as the there was like 3-4 uni's released max a year. the game had a good balance between pay to win and free to play. most of the time when new features was added its was to make the game more enjoyable. But the state of the game today,the game is now all about the profits and how much money they can make players spend. Every month there is a new uni released and every 2 years there is a merge for all the new uni's released. Like a 6month old uni's player account now needs to compete with a 5year old uni's player account. the whole new uni's is just a scam at this point. But the braking point of the game is resource packs like in 2016 the largest accounts in ogame had like 2bilion point but today a 2 year old uni can have a 800bilion account its just ridicule's and no point in trying to make the top 10 anymore. And the sad part is Gameforge made all this changes to the game to make more money but in the long term they will make less as more people stop playing this game. Also all new uni's that is released is just a carbon copy of each other no innovation or thought are put in to them.

Times has changed
Before 15-20 years Ogame was FTP ogame browser game with more then 16k people playing on server , and really popular game, with support who was more aware of problems and trying to resolve them with much more knowledge about the game then ´´new made´´ support system ( guess what they were also volonteurs before ) but we all strived to play the game and be the best ..
We had same system as GO/SGO 15-20 years ago like now, not so sofisticated ofc..
but people played it because it really is good made ( meaning the structuality and fights , bringing fooder into fight, calculating flights return etc etc... )
With time changes GF saw the opportunity and made DM along with Commanders and MP bla bla..
As you saw by yourself GF dgaf about small players or payers, they rather live from Big whales who invest into his account up to 2-3k € per month to grow , then 100-200 players paying 10-25€ therefor no subscription or any additional suggest about reducing DM or MP usage were accepted..
Game stayed the same ( where you cannot force a fight with more then 1,2bn ships all combined since server will not aknowledge it due restriction long 23 years ) unless you have all the details of the flight , fight , recycles, spies before and 2sec after fight ( should occured ) and provide that to our beloved support system and then ofc wait for decission will they aknowledge it or not
Making new servers each months bring them in revenue about 10k per month (+- depending on server popularity )
It´s all about marketing and bringing money into house , same as you would do with your business
It´s better to bring every month 10k then wait 3 months and bring 60k -

You can also play for passion and not to be top 10. I'll never be top 10 where I'm playing now, but I still like it. You've probably lost your passion for this game regardless of your rank, and I'd say that after all this time and the many changes, I understand that.
