Anyone plays this game? It's a free web browser based Massive Multiplayer strategy...

If you're interested start playing in universe 15 with the Dweebs alliance (DWB), go now what are you waiting for

Okay, advertise some more.
Give me some reasons to go play it.
It doesn't look very attractive to me...

What is OGame about?

OGame is a game of intergalactic conquest. You start out with just one undeveloped world and turn that into a mighty empire able to defend your hard earned colonies. Create an economic and military infrastructure to support your quest for the next greatest technological achievements. Wage war against other empires as you struggle with other players to gain the materials . Negotiate with other emperors and create an alliance or trade for much needed resources. Build an armada to enforce your will throughout the universe. Horde your resources behind an impregnable wall of planetary defences. Whatever you wish to do, OGame can let you do it. Will you terrorize the area around you? Or will you strike fear into the hearts of those who attack the helpless?

In OGame, YOU are the emperor.

It doesn't cost you anything! The registration will take incredible 15 seconds of your life, you don't need to download it since it is browser based, you can check on the game once a day, or play 24/7 it's very flexible...

How about trying it out, and seeing for yourself...

Also there are 45 universes in .de, 13 on .org, 4 on .ba and .com.hr numerous others, in each universe there are above 9000 players, so you do the math of the popularity, there must be a reason...

I played this game, and I stopped because there is no point in playing unless you dedicate your life to it. Unless you are very agressive and attack every single time you actually can, you will lose in the end. It is innevitable.

That's exactly what I hate about such games. You have to be overly aggressive just to survive. And to even accomplish something in the game, you have to be even more aggressive and ruthless. What if I, for example, want to establish some kind of Trading Corp.? OK, OGame is most likely not made for that purpose, but I really don't like games, were fighting is the only option (well, beside shooters, having one ship, to fly around and kill things should be something else than having a huge fleet and just fly around and kill things)

Not true, there is this thing you know it's called fleetsave, I fleetsave so often that no one can crush my fleet, and also use attacks on lower ranking player as sort of profitable fleetsave, the point is that if you invest heavily in your defences you'll loose sooner or later, but if you fleetsave properly no one can harm you...
That's the beauty of it, if you're smart you don't have to dedicate your life to it...
So basically if you fleetsave properly no one will be able to hijack your resources, you only have to play extremely aggresively if you want to be first, I don't play it to be first I play it for fun...

Never heard of it, but that's most likely the problem

Well, if it works, it's fine
