    I agree with an above statement. Hunting someone’s fleet used to be a challenge, but now ya hover your cursor over the players name now it tells you all his moons and planets etc. sat smashing was an achievement! The game this day and age is far too easy to get what you need. People start over because what they built they can build again in a few months.
    This is all due to high ecos. None of you will fully understand because you came to this game with higher eco, and no you can rebuild what you lost in a few months to rather than years!

    I can't believe that every single post of yours just reminisces about some old times. Back in the day? Yeah, so? It's 2023 not 2006. You seriously need to pull your head out of your ass.


    What's happening to Dorado is sad but every single universe has to take a stick. Nobody is getting what they signed up for, last I checked.


    Besides Cathedral, you keep screaming about de. Have you actually considered if the de players even want you there at all? They also worked their assess off for their accounts and now you'll all barge into there and screw up everything they did. Perhaps their coma asked his players about an exception and they said no. For your sake, I really hope they don't mind and would like the new competition, but perhaps they just don't? Just food for thought.

  • Top 10 - [TOT: 1.712.365.829.000] Basil [MUPPETS] vs. Thunder Child [ASSASSIN] (A: 364.278.947.000, D: 1.348.086.882.000)

    I'm glad I started paying attention to what's happening in uni 1 since the looming threat of being merged into it. Seeing these numbers gives me vertigo and I appreciate the fact that in the end we'll have merging options besides uni 1, lol. Either way, this is just plain ridiculous and seeing those LFs almost halved is crazy. Congratulations on the nn1, I smell the stew is brewing in the pot.

  • Cheaters caught "red-handed".

    You can't be serious with this crap?


    You're telling me that someone cheating would deliberately call their planets by the name of an alliance and then let himself be farmed? I hope you can see, being the mastermind detective that you are, how this makes no sense.


    What is the purpose of this spam anyway? If there are any problems you are free to write a ticket through the support system and the staff will look into any allegations and investigate any suspicious activity there may be.


    My word of advice, instead of wasting your time like this, maybe you should focus on your own game and you would be amazed by how fast you can actually develop when you put in the hours.


    PS. I've reported an actual cheater being pushed by catching him on my lanx farming an inactive with no mines on his planet yet mysterious 50m+ resources and the staff did nothing about it. His name starts with K and ends with mit.

    You're calling us to discuss and share our suggestions but as you can see over the last 9 pages, there has been plenty of suggestions and the player base has a, more or less, general concensus. What we're lacking is the discussion and feedback from your side. There is nothing more to be discussed between the players themselves.

  • A server increase in economy and research rates

    Just curious if there is any movement on this? The mentioned polls have passed and Halley is exempt from the merge so there shouldn't be any roadblocks for a vote.

  • OGame.org and merges

    Well, I see progress at least. But where's Beta in your last suggestion then?


    Group 1

    Bellatrix, Quantum, Oberon

    Targets: Uni1 and Gamma


    Group 2

    Dorado, Cetus, Dione, Earth, Ferdinand

    Targets: uni1, Alpha, Beta?


    This still leaves the issue of Dorado and why a 1x1x1x uni is being forced into speed universes.


    Quote from Danimanza

    Felix Felicis and Saitama


    The point of leave Uni1 out of merges just because it's an old universe with too many points, while you are including Oberon, Quantum that have even more points than uni1 makes no sense...


    Keep in mind that some people on those universes could merge to the x1 option if they want to switch to a more easy target (maybe not top10 players, but someone between 11 to 100 that still will get more points than you).

    How does it not? It only means that Dione players wouldn't be rank 400 but at least top 100. Less bigger sharks is still better than more of them.


    Also, I hope GF sees how having so many different universes with so many different options become a nightmare when forced into merges. They need to slow down the opening of new universes and open them with less variance. Ranging eco from 1x to 8x is a nightmare in itself because it dictates how unhappy the players in the slower universes will be when forced into merge with faster universes with tenfold points. Not to mention the ridiculous war speeds beyond 2x. GF needs to establish a tighter baseline of settings and give lesser variance from the baseline, to make it easier on themselves later on.


    Edit: If slower opening of newer universes tanks their profits then they need to have their advertising and events team working harder. They need to come up with new ways to incentivise players to spend their hard earned money. I'm sure if they simply reach out to the community, there would be plenty of suggestions. Only issue is that usually our suggestions fall on deaf ears.

    I have bolded active players that I have personally seen with * on their planets within the last 6 hours. There's in fact 19 active in the list and if you look at the Top 100 in the last few days there's so many changes in the highscore, it's amazing. But of course, for someone that idles all day and doesn't look further than his doorstep it's impossible to fathom that other lifeforms exist. Would you even notice if someone moved a mobile into your system? 😉

  • OGame.org and merges

    I understand what you're saying and while your statement is true, that option doesn't make sense. Let's continue with Dione as our example. It just reached 1 year of age 2 weeks ago and it has a friendly speed of 4x. Uni1 is 18 years old and has a 1x friendly speed. On top of that our top accounts are just reaching 200m points because we were at 4x eco for a whole year and now you want to put us into Uni1, somewhere around rank 400 where there we will be fish in the pond for all the bigger accounts. This is directly a downgrade in any way possible for the players of Dione. To make it easier for you to visualize what we're proposing is:


    New universe Alpha: 8x eco, 16x research, 1x fleet

    New universe Beta: 8x eco, 16x research, 3x fleet

    New universe Gamma: 8x eco, 16x research, 5x fleet


    So your options should look something like:


    ONLY OPTION


    Exodus: Quantum, Oberon, Bellatrix, Cetus, Dione, Earth, Ferdinand


    Targets:

    New uni Alpha

    New uni Beta

    New uni Gamma


    This means that Universe 1 (historical significance), Vega (active LF), Dorado (legacy settings) and Volans (chaos) are left out of the merge because they're special. You will end up with 7 "old" universes pre-LF and you will establish that 8x eco is your baseline with 1x war being catered towards miners, 3x war being balanced (lol) and 5x war being for fleeters. The rest of the settings should be up for further discussion of course.

  • Dione

    Quote from The King of Kings

    14 people out of the top 25 are inactive….

    I count at least 18 active players in the top 25, stop bullshitting and don't comment if you have nothing constructive to say. Your negativity is tiring and annoying. If you're so unhappy you know the options.


    Besides, what happened with taking MUFF out?

  • OGame.org and merges

    This is getting out of hand rather quickly, which is sad to see. It seems that GF has a strong stance on what they want to do and as a Dione player it is incredibly disheartening that we'll be forced into a faster war uni or into an 18x older universe.


    Danimanza please let GF know that the blank universes have no reason being 3x, 4x and 5x. These are all virtually identical and it makes no sense to have them so similar. What they should do instead is 1x, 3x and 5x for the blank universes. These are now different enough and give players a more versatile choice.


    This however doesn't help Dorado in any way and I'm sorry for that but I don't know how it can be saved other than avoiding the merge entirely, which is appears to not be an option.


    From all the information gathered, it is clear to me that GameForge DOESN'T WANT its customers to play their OLD accounts because they don't generate enough profits like opening new universes. Instead of forcing its customers into faster war universes and inevitably to quit, I think they need to work much harder to improve their playing experience and bring lifeforms to all the universes. Just look at Dione. The recent settings increase has sparked an incredible amount of activity and I am certain that GameForge can see it in their logs and stats. Why do you want to take that away now?

  • OGame.org and merges

    This is so huge it feels like it should be posted somewhere with bold font and golden letters.

  • OGame.org and merges

    This is all nice and finally something palpable from GF. However, ya'll need to take it down a notch and reduce the war speeds by 2x, or AT LEAST 1x for the blank universes. Since 8x eco seems to be the norm, then why bother with Gamma being 6x at all? Next year it will be merged into 8x anyway.

    Does the 8x eco tie 16x research with itself like in most other universes, since it's not specified?

  • A solution to stave off the eventual "death" of our universe.

    You went 0-100 there in less than 20 hours. You said get more people to come to a concensus and literally only 1 new person managed to post their opinion before you gave us the vote. I have informed my ally about the vote and they said they would chime in but didn't get around it yet.


    Together with the 80% necessary to actually make a change (seriously?) this feels just like an attempt to sweep this thing under the rug as there's no way of passing anyway, so might as well get done with it with the least amount of options offered.


    While I'm grateful for any option at all because any change is definitely necessary, I'm not content with how all this played out.

  • A solution to stave off the eventual "death" of our universe.

    Can we get an official view of Dione from GF? Are you happy with the activity in Dione? Have you considered doing something about its inertia or are the merges the only thing in focus now that could save Dione? I've read that the merges are planned for 2023 which could be at any point, but it would still be nice to have at least SOME change done to it, whatever it may be.


    I am personally eagerly awaiting the Lifeforms update but I don't think it will be enough.
