    Hi all,


    We are currently experiencing some problems with the non-lifeforms graveyard (300). If you are trying to move your account, you may receive some errors.


    We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and aim to fix it as soon as possible.

    These are the tritium requirements per tier:

    Tier 1: 1000

    Hi again...


    We are applying the hotfix version 10.0.15 to the v10 universes (Group1) to temporarily fix the persistent fleet events issues. This is not the final fix.

    The hotfix will be deployed as soon as possible (within the next few minutes), and you will have a small logout.


    Your OGame Team

    Hey all,


    On Tuesday 20th and Wednesday 21st of June, we are having an Import/Export event.

    During that time, players will be able to buy an item from Import/Export 6 times per day.



    Kind regards,

    Your OGame Team

    Note to self: Don't prepare announcements at 3am on no sleep! Thanks for letting me know about my mistake, all! ~Rav3n

    So... guess what dummy managed to delete the old thread(?) :censored:


    Anyway, as posted, EN will be having universe merges in the near future.


    This thread is for our community to discuss anything related to the merges.


    Common Questions Answers
    Not all targets are showing up! What do I do?
    It might happen that the desired target doesn't show immediately for you to select. In this case, if you want we can help to move the account but for that we will need some steps:

    - Select one of the available targets that you have and transfer the account there.
    - Do not interact with the "bridge" universe (read: stay in vacation mode and do not do anything). - Send us a support ticket with which bridge universe you used and your desired target.
    - Shoot a staff member a PM with your ticket number so we can try and get you merged as quickly as possible.

    These steps are needed for you to have the free relocations since a manual merge of the account won't grant any relocations or perks.
    I merged my account and it's showing as banned!
    This is normal and is done to ensure the merge is done correctly. The original account will be banned and deleted after 7 days or when the universe closes (whichever comes first) and the new account will be unbanned after a few hours at most.

    Please only send in a ticket about this if your account is still banned after the time shown on your lobby.
    Is it possible to merge to another community with this merge? No, it is not possible. The targets presented are the targets available.
    Is it possible to merge from an exodus universe in one group to a target in the other group? No, you can only merge into target universes in the same group.
    Are we blocking the creation of new accounts in target universes? No, the only account creation which will be blocked is in the exodus universes.
    Is it possible to merge from one target universe to another target universe? No, it is not possible. The only way to merge out of a target universe is via the Graveyard.
    Does the top 20 rule apply to this merge? No. This is a forced merge so any target may be selected regardless of a player's rank.
    Will my planets be in the same spot in the target as they were in the exodus universe? Gameforge will make every effort to place your planets where they were in your exodus universe, however, it might not be possible. In cases where it is not possible, there will be a free relocation provided (one per repositioned planet) which can be used at a later date.
    If I do not choose a target universe, what will happen with my account? Will it go to the Graveyard? Your account will be merged to a random target universe, but please see the answer in this spoiler:
    Will players with accounts in target universes get free planet relocations? No. Only players leaving exodus universes are eligible for free planet relocations.
    Why was my universe chosen as a target or exodus? There are a lot of considerations Gameforge takes into account when coming up with a merge plan. Unfortunately, it is not possible to make every player happy with a forced merge and given the uniqueness of each universe it is difficult to find a suitable target universe for every exodus universe. Exodus universes were selected due to various criteria which only Gameforge knows, however, many have so few active players that moving to a more active universe will hopefully increase player enjoyment.

    In this case, every war fleet speed was a consideration and every war fleet speed is represented in the target choices. The rest of the universe statistics are fairly similar among the targets. The universes which were selected as targets already have the space necessary to accept a lot of players, a requirement many universes did not have.

    Are there any plans to implement an attack ban before/during/after the merges? The only time an attack ban will be implemented is if something goes wrong. At this time, there are no plans to implement any attack bans.
    What should I do if I can only merge my account to a universe where I already have an account? Unfortunately, it is not possible to merge the two accounts into one and it is not allowed to play more than one account per universe. In this case you must place one of the accounts into v-mode and leave it in v-mode permanently. You are allowed to log into the account once every 30 days to prevent it from deleting. This will allow you to find a new owner for the account which can be exchanged using the Gameforge lobby account gifting tokens.
    Will it be possible to alter the target server settings once the merges are completed? Once all the dust of the merges settles, server polls should be available for server setting changes which includes the ability to change a particular fleet speed setting such as the peaceful fleet speed setting. These polls will follow the standard server change poll process.
    What are the settings of the target universes? See the spoiler below for a full breakdown of the universe settings. Please note that these settings may be changed at a later date if required.
    If I transfer my account to a target universe while the login event is ongoing, will my tritium transfer over? No. Any tritium obtained won't carry over to the target universe and you'll lose all progress with the login event prior to that point, meaning that you'll start from tier 1 again.
    As an alliance founder having to re-create my alliance in the target universe, do I have to wait out the 14 day cooldown before I can set the alliance class for free? No. For merged accounts in the target universes, the 14 day cooldown has been temporarily waived, meaning you should be able to assign your free alliance class immediately. Once the merge has finished, this cooldown will be reinstated.
    Will the new universes have Lifeforms or FiDF active?
    Not yet, although these will look to be added at a later date once all the merges are complete.
    Will the new universes be backdated, so that time-based events (such as Happy Days) will be taken into account?
    Yes. Both new universes will have the "start" date amended so that affected events will act as if the server is already at least 1 year old.

    Hello commanders,


    In order lighten up the issues with some combat reports and bring back the normal espionage time before an attack, we recently implemented a temporarily measure that is affecting the espionage probes mostly.

    From now on, the number of probes has no impact for a combat and since its combat value is 0, it won't reach round 6 (doesn't even goes further than round 1) to get a draw even with the minimum (>0) combat value from defense.


    As said this is a temporarily measure that will be active until we have the permanent fix for the loads ready to go live, but the Espionage Probes as a ship without combat value are not supposed to have draws against any unit that has combat value. Please, make sure that the planet has no defense or any fire power when using Probes to farm.


    Kind Regards,

    Your OGame Team
