This is goodbye for now; it reminds me of a popular song “We are all just prisoners here of our own device”.
Initially this was a game of comradery with new challengers, new enemies to plot and plan against, new milestones to reach. New things to try, teammates to work with & constantly new achievements, number one hits, time backs, moon pops, etc.. Yes this uni has become quiet as do most old unis, a merger gives it a little spice for a while and generally things settle back down again. Occasionally vmode warriors pop out and smack stuff lying around. Now the stuff laying around is like a useless pile of money that you can’t buy anything with. The game has become a chore for me, it could be compared to a printing press, there is initial excitement about all the money you can print & buy things with; however, once you have bought all the material things that money can buy, and you have stacks laying around, why keep feeding the printing press?
Initially farming was done to grow the fleet, build the empire & make exciting crashes. Now the game has become Farmville with the unbalance of the latest “classes”. When you make billions per day, soon you get to the point where the shipyard on all planets are producing ships at 1 second per ship & they are backlogged for weeks. Build / gather ships, run expos, send resource off to build. Lather, rinse and repeat.
Yes, you can have others build ships for you and buy them on the marketplace, but at what point is your expo fleet large enough?
I do not wish to pass on my Ogame notes to my children nor tell people surrounding my death bed how great Ogame was. As the lyrics of the song go, “You can check out any time you like, But you can never leave.”
Well, I’m checking out for now… Here is a tune to listen to, while viewing the “top 10” damage below… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8apPhPfAXuk
