ogame.org - Quantum Universe A new uni started recently - AT 5X NORMAL SPEED! Despite only being about 10 days, this puts any new comers well behind the leaders, but also allows late starters to get up and running quickly with plenty to do early on. DISCLAIMER: THIS GAME CAN BE WORSE THAN WoW IN TERMS OF TIME SINK. I'm not really advocating others play, but if you are bored and have a minute, log in and create an account using this link: http://ogame.org?refId=117 101636 It will give me this new thing called buddy points and really help me out. All you have to do is create an account and log in once a week... or play it full on.
I played it a couple of years ago and I totally agree with your disclaimer. I remember getting up at 3AM just to launch my raiding fleet so I could maximize the amount of resources gained. Did they add any new stuff in the past 5 years or is it more or less the same as it always has been?
More or less the same, things that might be new: Battlecrusiers (anti-ship ship) Storage dens (protects certain amounts of res from raids - fairly worthless) Boosters (hard to explain, kind of like weak, temporary commaders that you can buy with res, honor points, or buddy points) Honor points (points given or taken away based on who you attack - ie. attacking weak players makes you lose honor, attacking stronger players lets you gain honor) Buddy points (sign up friends who stay active, buy boosters!)
