Update 5.1

    • Update 5.0 - OGame mobile

      Hello,
      During this week (possibly already today) we will update our international test server (Origin on pioneers.ogame.org/) with our new version 5.0. This version contains our new IPad App. The App itself is not yet available, but with a small workaround it is possible to activate the "IPad desgin".

      Changelog:
      [Feature Request] OGame IPad App
      [Feature Request] App: several graphical / functional adjustments on all menues / screens

      [Bugfix] Possibility to save too many probes as standard

      [Bugfix] Missing Impressum on validation email
      [Bugfix] Active "next" Button on fleet II even with no option on fleet III
      [Bugfix] Alliance member / buddies shown honourable

      [Bugfix] Missing limitation while input of title of alliance owner
      [Bugfix] Broken research queue corrected
      [Bugfix] Invited friend status in merged universes broken

      [Bugfix] Usability - Input fields in fleet menu for Firefox/Chrome
      [Bugfix] Performance optimizations
      [Bugfix] Cache problem in galaxy view corrected

      You can activate the new view with adding:

      &isMobile=1

      ...to the url. This works in the browser as well but since it is optimized for IPad it is not the same 'look and feel'. If you want to check it out on your browser best would be Safari.External links and logout are out of function then.


      And we have to small screens for the news:


      Since we are still in development it will take some more time till the final release of this version. But we will be happy about every given feedback on our international test server.

      Also for sure it will be possible that we add other devices later on based on the given feedback. But for now only IPad will be supported by the app.

      Regards, your Ogame.origin team

    • Update 5.7.0

      With this version a new feature will be implemented, this feature allows players to fill up their storages (with some restrictions), or get the missing resources to start building/ships/research orders (also with some restrictions) by paying Dark Matter.

      Here you have some general information about this version:

      • Fill up the storage by 10% of the current storage capacity (maximum 10.000.000 at once)
      • Fill up the storage by 50% of the current storage capacity (maximum 10.000.000 at once)
      • Fill up the storage until 100% of the current storage capacity (maximum 10.000.000 at once)
      • The respective storage on the planet can only be filled up until the storage capacity, not further
      • There must be enough DM and available storage capacity, so filling up works
      • If there is less than 50% or 10% of the storage capacity available, only the 100% variant is offered
      • Where does the player see the Feature: - in the storage slider (3 buttons) - in the resource merchant menu (extra buttons for resources and amount) - directly when building: buildings, ships, defense, research (button for using DM / Buy + Start building)
      • DM base values (10.000 resources) of the three options: - Metal: 45k DM - Crystal: 90k DM - Deuterium: 135k DM. That's the "base" price. The higher the amount you buy is, the cheaper it will cost (compared to the base value)
      • A limit can be set (especially at the beginning of universes) so players can buy only "stacks" of 10.000 (but unlimited times)
      • The maximum amount of resources that can be bought at once is: 10.000.000
      • If the player wants to fill up your storage by any % but the amount of resources you need to fill it is higher than 10.000.000, the button will turn in to "buy 10.000.000" button instead of "fill up by X%"
      • If the player wants to build ships or buildings and the amount of resources you need is higher than 10.000.000 the "build with Dark Matter" button won't be available and players will have to buy "packets" of 10.000.000 by filling the storage
      • The commander building list stays untouched (DM option is not considered when inserting elements - no automatic DM deduction)
      • At buildings/research/shipyard/defense the build up button is shown in green (in case the building queue is not full)
      • If there is a building being built and you don't have a commander, there is still an information about the commander
      • If you don't have enough resources and no building is being built, a dialogue is shown, which shows the amount of Dark Matter, that you would have to pay for the necessary resources, to start the building
      • You can build only a building/research/ship/defense unit, which doesn't exceed the storage capacity of the planet
      • If the player tries to build a building, which needs more resources than resources fitting into the storage, an error dialogue is shown, telling him, that his storage capacity is not large enough. If the user clicks on OK, he'll be forwarded to the buildings menu
      • If the player would try to build on the last planet field/moon field, the dialogue pointing out the field item has the highest priority. If the user clicks on OK (doesn't matter for him in this case), the premium dialogue is shown
      • When demolishing buildings, there is also a DM icon in the button, if the resources are not enough (same behaviour compared to build)
      • If you cancel the building/research, the resources (also the ones received with Dark Matter) are correctly added to the planet
      • The DM value corresponds exactly to the value, which would have been used, if the resources would have been bought normally
      • If you don't have enough DM and click inside the dialogue on "OK", the default DM dialogue is shown
      • In case the parameters for buying resources are fulfilled, the build/demolish/research Button has a DM icon, to point out the premium function


      Best regards, your OGame Origin team

      OGame is still one of our most successful games, as OGame still gains new players everyday. However, in order to get new players, we have to invest in marketing. Over the years marketing got more and more expensive. The cost for a click on a banner or a sign up multiplied. In order to remain profitable, we can't spend more money on an average user than an average user is spending on the game. The option to buy ressources is most appealing to new players, especially in old universes. Of course this option will also be used in new universes, but here the noob protection will protect the non payers from the payers. In the end, the only substitute for skill is skill.
