Dear players,

Here you can discuss, give feedback , ask questions on the new Gameforge Portal, soon to be tested and implemented

See the announcement here:
Important: OGame is heading to the new Gameforge Portal soon and you can test it!

List of things already metioned:
Polishingwishes:

Create a way to sit one specific account, not the whole portal account
Multiple portal accs in one browser session (see point above to circumvent this problem)
Remove the need to scroll down to log in
Make it possible to deactivate the videobackground

Bugs:

The portal language gets set back to serverlanguage when you log out ingame
Multiple things with the account creation overlay
Videos are in german altough page is set to english

Positive things:

All accounts in one place
Finally more secure passwords possible

Negative things (also see polishingwishes):

Stitting only possible for the whole portal acc
Annoying backgroundvideo
Takes long to get to the gameloginbutton

NoMoreAngel · May 27th 2016, 1:09pm

Isn't live yet. When it goes live, a link will be given

what will happen to 'sitting'? will it be no longer possible? do i have to give the sitter access to all my accounts basically?

will this finally be a solution for the (I)-players-with-dm problem?

I cannot log in to my bermuda account even though i merged my email of bermuda with my gameforge account.

Note: i use different email for gameforge account and bermuda server

What is the situation for bermuda server? Is it online or is it still down because of this new portal thingy?

Do I have to create a new Gameforge Account for Origin.
Or will that server merge to my Gameforge Account for all my german Accounts

But if I have to create a new Account, I have a problem: I use the same mailadress for the german Gameforge Account as for the Origin Account.

Please help: how can I login in the game...

maybe tell us how long origin will be closed. another day or the whole week or is it open already and you can login only with an gameforge account.

NoMoreAngel · May 31st 2016, 5:49pm

Login is still offline for portal testing, it isn't yet known, when you will be able to login again.

Edit: Crash read this thread, your questions will be answered then

FAQ about account conversion to Portal

crash · May 31st 2016, 6:09pm

thanks a lot for your answer

I have read the faq, but there isn't an explicite example for my case - that's why I asked.

I'ts only written that when you have an active gameforge account - all games will be connected
but is that a fact for all games worldwide or only regional (for my taste is "all games" too vague)

thanks a lot

Is there any technical reason for gameforge.com to require only alphanumeric characters in passwords? If you're properly handling the passwords it shouldn't matter what characters are used (as long as they fit the minimum number of characters and possibly any checks for ultraweak passwords of course).

@ Crash
Just migrate then your origin account, when it is available.

At the portal you can add e-mail adresses and you also can merge 2 portal accounts together into 1. Also the Sync if e-mail adresses should work. So if you have currently a old portal account with the same e-mail adress, then it should be no problem to have it later then all in one portal account.

is there a difference between a Gameforge account and this new portal ????

i have a Gameforge account and i can log in there to all my server accs over this portal
BUT only the .de accounts are listed

where is this "portal" for origin and Bermuda ?????????????

by the way are those accounts now in Vmode ?
just in case if it takes longer to find a way to log in again into those two servers
it would be nice if those accs were then still in good shape
berta :dash:

The new portal is not yet accessible and you can't login to any of Origin universes ( Origin, Bermuda etc) : Monday 30 May- All test servers will be offline

One thing I am missing in the FAQ (or did I oversee it?)

Assume I have two Portal Accounts for my two games (or 2 OGame unis) using separate Email addresses. Can I play both games at the same time? Or will the cookies not be compatible, so that I can not log in on the portal multiple times in the same browser?

gamer2014 · Jun 1st 2016, 2:27pm

'The portal should be available for users on Pioneers today around 14:00 if everything goes well.
So go out and test it.'

link? lol

JoKy · Jun 1st 2016, 2:30pm

The pioneers startpage will switch, no link needed, or do you need the startpage link?

Nothing changed on OGame side. One Account per Browser on one server
