Now, I'm not 100% sure how the Lobby are going to work. But one of the things I seem to have figured out is that there will be a "Global" login, one email address and password will allow access to one account, but in multiple universes. Can one assume that Dark Matter purchased will also be "Global"? So DM bought in one universe will be available in another? If not, it's herby suggested.

Along with the DM log book. I generally believe that one have the right to know how DM is spend on an account. Not only to keep track, but also to check that Ogame dosen't cheat you of DM. As it is I have no way to make sure that the right amount of DM are being taking from my account, unless I keep track of every little detail myself. I will refer to Tribal Wars and how they have solved this.

You are 100% right, I could not have said it better myself. However, there are things you'd have to consider first.

Explanation:

Coupons should be given as a "compensation" for something that "went wrong" in a specific universe and as such should only be usable in THAT universe. But along with coupons, DM found poses a problem in relation to how DM is spend now.

First bought DM is spend, then found. THIS WILL HAVE TO CHANGE! Else you'r so-called "compensation" would be worthless as you'd have to "drain" your global account for DM, before collecting you'r "compensation". That is not right or even close to fair.

If this "Global DM system" should be implemented, then the order in which DM is spend will have to change as well. First "local" DM (DM in this specific universe) will be spend, then the global.

IF the system is not changed, then there should simply be no local DM, only Global (and that would pose a whole new set of problems). A relatively low account in any given uni would be able to make a lot of expeditions and gain a lot of DM, that could then be spend in other unis. This would simply kill the game as many players would start up in many new universes only to exploit the expedition system to gain DM, that can then be spend on a "main" account.

So GF, plz consider this as well!

Same problem as the scenario I listed, so same solution should work
