    Hello, it's yet another ogame clone, this time hosted on my webspace. It's not fully setup and I haven't been able to test everything, but the version I'm using (2moons) seems to be very decent and somewhat bug free (except that it doesnt like MySQL strict mode XP).
    Right now the default ruleset form the game applies, I doubt I'll change it anyway.

    This one is intended for Empires People, friends of mine and anyone on my community.
    If you notice any issues let me know :)

    BTW: Speeds are at 25x right now, however, if that feels to fast I may adjust them (or do a quick reset in the first days) and adjust them after.

    Btw, this version has built-in newb protection. It _shouldn't_ be possible to attack anyone with less then 5000 points or 20% less then yours (or 500% higher then your points respectivly)

    Edit: Seems like you can attact people with less then 5k points, but the pecentage works..

    Anyone thinks the newb protection should be increased past the 5000 points?

    Vengance is sweet :)

    Omega started early and kept bulling all the other players for a while using his initial advantage. I believe that drove a lot of people away. I was able to to enough research and:

    I will just wait for the reset now. I think there are only like 2 other people half-way playing.

    I am glad that you will give equal change in the next iteration.

    Imo set the speeds a lot lower so the game doesn't stagnate with everyone having 100 deathstars after 2 weeks.

    you can just prevent that with allowing only 3 or 4 colonies tbh

    the play does not stall because of the gamespeed, the speed stalls because too many colonies means you can hide far too easily in the giga universe

    less colonies means ether slower production as you keep a mobile colony, or you settle down and play with the big guys

    Yeap, the universe has pretty big for such a small player-base. Reduce the size.

    Also, Deconstruct was not working. Was that intended or a bug?

    Getting dark matter was very difficult and time consuming... can the probability of finding more be increased a bit?

    I also agree with Trickster, you dont need a high speed. Specially if you reset during christmas/newyear where people might not login and you would create again the huge disparity between players. Hold of the reset until after holydays.

    My computer got delayed due to my HDD not being in stock, so I have to wait at least another week. D:

    I think if you are inactive for a certain ammount of time your account disapears.

    That should also be removed for us after the reset.

    These are the current active players:

    Yeah, inactive players are automatically deleted (after 28 days I think, you automatically go into inactive mode after 7 days, being available for attack by anyone). I planned the reset on the 22th, that also includes a huge update of the software that fixes many bugs (and a new skin).

    I will reduce the amount of available galaxies to 3 instead of 9. (maybe even less, I've been thinking about going with just 1 galaxy and increase it later on, though I feel that one galaxy may get flooded with planets kinda soon; I may go with 2 galaxies aswell)
    I deceided to reduce the speed to 10x/10x/10x instead of 25x/25x/25x
    Officers will probably be 350 DM each or 500DM.
    Research will use a different formula, it should be overall faster.
    Some officer Max Levels will be increased.

    Anyway, if anyone really wants it, I could do the reset much earlier, like this weekend (tommrow/in a few hours).

    okay, new universe is up. You can register, but you you can't do anything (you won't get res, nor you have starting res). Once everything goes live you'll get the basic income and starting res :)
