9. Breach of the Rules
Any form, method, or attempt to unfairly gain personal profit from a staff member’s decision is strictly forbidden.
This includes, but is not limited to:
8. Language
The only official language across all OGame.org services is English.
You are allowed to use other languages in private communication, such as when all your alliance members are Polish or you're messaging a Polish friend. That’s perfectly fine.
However, when messaging other players you don’t know, you must use English only.
If a non-English message is reported, you may receive a warning or a ban.
The only characters allowed on Accounts, Planets, Alliance names and Alliance Tags are those of
7. Insults and Spam
Treat everyone with courtesy and respect.
Why? We want all OGame players to feel welcome here, even and especially when there’s a difference of opinions.
Possible violations include:
Hate Speech
Hate Speech includes any discrimination or derogatory comments against a protected category. These categories include race, skin color, gender, sexuality, disability, genetics, country or national origin, and political or religious beliefs.
Violations of this rule are strictly prohibited and may result in an immediate ban.
Possible violations include:
------------------------------------
Harassment
Harassment includes any user-targeted disturbance, pattern of disrespect, unwanted communications, alienation, unwelcome advances, aggression, intimidation, or report retaliation. All behaviors that can be described as a personal or group attack, labeling, or insult are prohibited. This includes (but is not limited to):
------------------------------------
Trolling
Trolling includes any messages deemed to be inflammatory, insincere, digressive, extraneous, or off-topic with the intent of provoking users into displaying emotional responses or manipulating others’ perceptions. Purposeful disruption or destructive communication will be considered a violation.
Spam
Any situation intended to saturate a players interface through any method is forbidden.
This includes but is not limited to:
6. Real-life Threats
Real-life threats are forbidden in OGame, even if you say it was "just a joke."
Threatening someone's real safety (even jokingly) breaks the game’s Terms of Service and community guidelines. It’s treated as serious misconduct.
Intent doesn't matter — if the message sounds like a real-life threat (e.g., violence, stalking, harassment), it can get you immediately banned.
5. Bugusing
Bugusing means intentionally exploiting a bug (glitch) in the game to gain an unfair advantage. Even if the bug is part of the game’s code, using it on purpose is still against the rules.
It's strictly forbidden and can lead to punishment, including temporary or permanent bans.
If you think you step on a bug, here's what you should do:
Important:
Never tell other players how to trigger the bug before it's fixed.
Sharing exploits can make it worse and can also get you banned as a "helper" of bugusers.
Some examples of bugusing (not limited to) :
4. Pushing
Pushing refers to an illegal action where a lower-ranked player sends resources to a higher-ranked player without receiving fair value in return.
This is against the rules because it gives unfair advantages to stronger players, disrupting the balance of the game.
Due to being a chaos universe, this rule does not apply to universe Volans (EN 174).
Bear in mind the following topics:
After a pushing ban is lifted, the resources must be returned to the pushing player, or a return must be arranged with your Game Operator.
Note:
If you receive resources — intentionally or unintentionally — from a lower-ranked player, you cannot keep them.
Any pushing violation will apply 72 hours after the resources are received.
Within that time, the resources must be returned to the player who sent them or you must contact a Game Operator to arrange a solution.
*Pulling
Resources sent from a stronger player to a weaker player without anything in return — known in-game as "pulling" — are limited to 500 million resources per week.
This rule applies if any of the following conditions are met:
OR
Pulling addendum
Note:
No pulling is allowed until the 4th Monday after a new universe opens (i.e., for the first 3 weeks and 3 days following the universe opening)
What to consider:
However, a single player may receive multiple 500m pulls from different players.
This includes unspent resources, which are also considered.
The usual fair play rules still apply to these actions.
Note:
After a ban for violating the pulling rule ends, the player has 72 hours to return any excess resources to a Game Operator.
3. Account Sitting
Account sitting is only permitted using "Sitting Codes", which are available in the Lobby.
The sitter is allowed to:
The sitter is not allowed to:
2. Multi accounts
The only exception to the multi accounts rule is universe Volans (EN 174) - as a chaos universe, all players are allowed to control as many accounts as they wish.
Aside from Volans, and as an outcome of the Global Merges, we understand that players may occasionally find themselves controlling more than one account on the same server. This is accepted as long as only one account is actively played. The extra accounts may only be accessed to prevent deletion until they find a new home — only the login action is permitted.
Please bear in mind that this exception applies only to your existing accounts and under very specific circumstances. It does not override the main rule ("Every player is allowed to control a single account per universe") nor does it allow the creation of new accounts (for filling, pushing, or other purposes) under the excuse of "I'm just playing one account as clarified."
If you find yourself controlling more than one account in the same universe, you must contact the support staff so that proper notes can be added to the accounts.
On the other hand, it is allowed for two or more players to play under the same IP address. If this is the case, we strongly recommend contacting the support staff.
While playing under the same IP:
1. Accounts
Take account security seriously.
The Lobby provides the option to add Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) as an additional layer of security — use it.
Always use secure, unique passwords, and do not reuse your login credentials anywhere else.
You are responsible for ensuring your account remains safe, secure, and under your control. Protect it!
Remember to NEVER:
Account Trading:
It is possible to gift or trade accounts using a token system.
Please note that all matters related to account trading are entirely the players' responsibility — the support staff does not assist with account trades.
Furthermore, be advised that we do NOT intervene in cases of "account exchanges gone wrong."
General information
Please read the Game Rules and Terms & Conditions (T&C) carefully, and make sure to follow them.
Be aware that these Clarifications apply to OGame.org only. They are intended to break down the rules for better understanding and do not replace any point mentioned in the official Game Rules or T&C.
These rules cannot cover every possible situation. Support staff may take action in cases not explicitly covered by the listed rules, using their discretion.
If you have any questions about the rules, regulations, or limitations mentioned in this document, please contact the support staff in advance.
Important: Support staff and Gameforge employees will never ask for your account password.
The following points are valid for all the Universes listed at OGame.org.
The rules have been established to allow all players to enjoy fair gameplay within their universes.
Please note, that for data confidentiality reasons, complaints and inquiries regarding particular accounts will only be discussed with their owners.
OGame.org clarifications for each Rule point.
The owner of a game account is the owner of the Lobby account where the game account is located.
Each account is entitled to be played by a single player at any time, account sitting being the only exception.
Game account exchanges to another user are only permitted using the ‘Account Gifting’ function within a Lobby account.
Lobby accounts cannot be transferred to others.
Every player is allowed to control a single account per universe.
If two or more accounts are usually, occasionally, or permanently being played from the same network (e.g. schools, universities, internet cafés) it is highly recommended to notify a GameOperator in advance at https://ogame.support.gameforge.com/en.
‘Account Sitting’ enables a player to allow another player to ‘sit’ their account, i.e. caretake it in their stead.
An account may be sat for a maximum of 48 hours.
Account sitting is only permitted using ‘Sitting Codes’, which are available in the Lobby. While the account is being sat, it cannot carry out battle activities with other players.
Lobby details cannot be passed on to other players. Any infringement on these rules may lead to a permanent ban for the Lobby account for account sharing.
No account is allowed to obtain unfair profit from the resources of a lower ranked player. Pushing is defined as, but not only limited to, the following: resources sent from a lower-ranked account to a higher-ranked one with nothing tangible in return.
Setting up a battle to enable a higher-ranked account to obtain profit from a lower-ranked account or manipulating trade ratios for a higher-ranked account to gain an advantage through a lower ranked account are considered an unfair profit.
Trades, recycling help & ACS splits must be completed within 72 hours.
For all exceptions (bounties, etc.) a Game Operator should be informed via the Support system (https://ogame.support.gameforge.com/index.php?fld=en).
Using a bug for anyone`s profit intentionally or not reporting a bug intentionally is strictly forbidden. Using a programme as an interface between the player and the game is prohibited. Any other form of automatically generated information created for malicious misuse is forbidden as well. Exceptions are listed in the forum of the game.
Implying that you are going to locate and harm another player, team member, Gameforge representative, or any person that might be related in any way to any of the game services is forbidden.
Any kind of insult and spam are not allowed.
The game’s publisher reserves the right to exclude players, who are not able to speak the game’s respective native language (e.g. in the game, forum or on the Discord server). Other permitted languages will be listed in the official game forum.
Any kind of breach of the rules will be punished with warnings up to a permanent ban of the account. The corresponding GameOperators decide the type and duration of punishments and are contact persons for bans.
The terms and conditions are supplemented with these rules, and must be abided by at all times.
The game`s community management reserves the right to have exceptions to these rules. In special cases (e.g. during events) game rules can be changed or suspended. The user group concerned will be informed when and if this is the case.

Having more than 2 servers with Eco 10x is not possible for now, maybe in the future, we will continue to ask to have at least 1 more universe.
As already said, we had tried to have new servers for the targets universes, but the reply was negative.
When the plans were made, some were not approved and only this scenario was accepted accordingly with some base factors, as active accounts on the universes, to keep a non ACS universe along with another universe with ACS with the same specs, where the players could choose betwwen them.
I can ask it it's possible to have a different merger plan according with your feedback, or at least to have universe Zodiac as a target for Group 1.
I would also to thank you for efforts and time to ellaborate some scenarios and suggest settings change, it was deeply appreciated.
Please remember that after the merges you can ask for settings change, and if the poll runs well you can tailor the universe to your desired settings as long it's possible to change them.
Can you present a plan that will be suitable for you?
We don't know what can be done, but at least we can try.
With the current scenario, will it be enough to change some universe specs, like changing the universe speed, or something else?
Do not forget that Gameforge it's a company that needs incoming to keep the servers running and only them have that figures that we don't know, so some decisions can rely on that results.
We can only voice your complains, nothing more, nothin less.
Don't shoot the messenger 
Well we always try to be consistent to not disappoint you, at least you get used too... 
Now, seriously, we had several options, included with new universes that, everyone, including the team loves to have and offer to you, but unfortunately it wasn't possible.
Don't ask why, you already now the answer.
Volans, as a chaos universe cannot be considered for any plan, it's like the limbo.
I would love to bring better news that could please to you all, but no, we don't have.
You can hammer your keyboards, we always listen your words and for the next time, who knows we can bring something better.
Hello,
