    Also, most of the people who appreciated the long term planning and the game logic of the game as it was when the universe was eco 1 or 2 have left long ago. They will not come back and they will certainly not abide by the packs. And since they don't want packs, GF has zero interest in them.

    Many spent much more. I personally knew one who spent more than 30K € before quitting.

    Gameforge: consistently inconsistent since 2005:beer:

    There were good times and bad times depending on the COMA and Teamlers involved.

    The current COMA is horrible. And there is a disconnect and poor communication between what the COMA says and the Teamlers (GO/SGO/GA) get from the COMA and with how they're interpreting the rules and enforcing them. And part of that is going to be from having different rules in different communities that aren't standardized and having teamlers that work across multiple communities who don't realize the rules are different from one community to another. Or the COMAs and GAs interpret the rules/T&C differently due to how they're translated, poor wording, subjective/vague wording, literacy level, grammar/punctuation issues, etc.

    Kewlness was the best GA ever, hands down. Those were the good years and the COMA then actually listened to him and they both engaged with the community, and had a good grasp of the players and politics/drama in each individual uni. The current crop could care less about the community here so they can't connect the dots or see when 1+1 = 2 in the tickets.

    It is very clear since at least the officers in 2007 they (gameforge) see their players as marks, chumps, and losers. They even bragged when people were furious after the officers they bought beer with the money from it. The clean their soles on you and you continue to pay them.

    i hope all is well with you all.

    Mostly, thank you good sir.


    About French humour, i would rate British humour a little bit higher and people forget Americans make excellent humour even if drowned into a lot of slop. But one problem with such comparisons is that good British humour is very well known like the Mounty Python while the excellent French ones like Desproges, Devos, Bedos and the absurd ones like Jaques Rouxel (The Shadock), Alain Chabat and so many others are mainly known in Francophone circles.


    And even among Francophones sometimes i wonder... Belgian humour is quite close to the French one, with more taste for absurdities i think.


    Quality Francophone culture deserves to be better known, i think. Of course, some parts of it revolve a lot around playing with the language, like many sketches of Devos or Desproges. Or in a more popular segment Les inconnus.

    Deneb,


    You seem so bitter about past plans which failed. And at the same time you seem very well aware this ogame thing is a sad waste of money pay to win scheme. And you claim to be glad to have left. Why not just spend good laid back fun with the forum dwellers who are still sane ? Does the rest matter ?


    I left in 2019. To my great relief. I learned the packs appeared in 2020 so i am glad i was no there to see this. I should have left when the officers came in 2007. Some did. But there were still many nice blokes to hang out with.

    And my main was called zblrk. At 2:153:9. Now my ex planets are elsewhere with names like P1, P2... don't people respect anything !?


    Long ago, i moved straight from my slum to the semi-countryside for two years and a half. Instead of pissing bums i could see happy horses trough my windows. I loved every bit of it. :smile2:

    Although i don't play this game anymore, i recall i like the "long term planning" of the game. I wasn't overly happy with the eco increase even if i was a miner. It made my progression a bit meaning less since all my res accumulating could now be done in a short time and forced me to empty my planets more often to the point i felt a slave to the game and i was relieved when i quit.
