      As already mentioned in the previous newsletter, we are hard at work on improvements to cooperative play with your alliances and buddies (or rather fleets). At this point, we’d like to go into a bit more detail: most significantly with an upgrade to the Jump Gates. In future you will be able to share use of the Jump Gates of your alliance and friends with the right upgrade and research levels. As the travel time to your destination is greatly reduced, you’ll spare yourselves valuable time. A further plus with this update is that you can take resources with you through the Jump Gate.
      This adjustment will give OGame some new tactical opportunities, where alliances and the collaboration between friends can be strengthened. We hope this will encourage more activity and targets in game, especially in older universes. But it’s not just the fleeters that profit from this: merchants can also vastly expand their networks.
      More details on this project will be available in the coming weeks. Naturally we will be having a test phase on our public servers. As usual, there we will be taking in your feedback regarding the new possibilties.
      There’s exciting developments in the works for the OGame Lobby too. This includes the already-mentioned auto-login, the possibility to link existing and Facebook accounts, permanent handover of accounts and a new info centre, where we will keep you up to date with news on current events, updates and other news.

      And since then, several months have passed. Please tell us if there are any news or details about this update? I hope this update is not frozen?

      Unfortunately the development of this feature has been stopped for the moment, which means it is not coming any time soon.
