Well I'm not sure if Ogame will be around for decades to come, but you never know :) Hi Jigz,

Thanks for stopping by - I'm astonished at your patience to actually play in 3 separate universes. How do you keep everything straight? :) Yes, I think the realtime play really slows ogame down a lot, though it does make casual play a bit easier, since you pretty much can only do 1 thing every day. I feel that fleetcrashing is not as bad as the realization that once you recover, you can be fleetcrashed again whenever someone decides to and you might not be able to do anything about it, simply because you are not online - that's what killed it for me. Glad you liked the post - best of luck with your quest for galactic domination! Hi Jay!

Thanks for stopping by. Yes, like you, I found the change of pace that Ogame enforces from RTS games (even a TBS game) to be a huge shock. But when you go into attack mode, that realtime play can really ratchet the tension up quite nicely. Your resources really only start to pile up once you get to a level 10 and above metal,deut,crystal plant and you need to settle on other planets - till then yes, you are really scraping by. Nice going with the satellite - I didn't get one even though I settled on 3 planets and got fleet crashed once. Since I posted this, I've dropped off from Star Wars Combine as well, so it looks like MMO's are not really my thing. LOL on the hitler bit :) Hi Andrew!

I started it a week ago, and I started playing it because my girlfriend plays it and I had bright ideas about being her knight in shining armour next time she gets destroyed. What bugs me about it is the time it takes to get anywhere. I have played alot of RTS games, Age of Empires, Dune 2000(My favourite), C&C etc. But if I had to spend a week getting to a level 3 shipyard, which allows me to build one fighter(and only one because I have spent all my resources), the disc would have become a coaster very quickly. I like it because I can log in, in work, and its not obviously a game as such, but it takes so long to do anything. I left it over the weekend, hoping I would have loads of resources. In about 10 minutes this morning I had spent all my resources on my upgrades, and have to wait for about another 8 hours to save up some more. I have not gotten as far as fleet saving, as I dont have a fleet. I have a satilite though. lucky me! Its a really addictive game, but I think its down to you being promised Galactic Domination, and I think most people would give up after a couple of months. If Hitler had had to use this system to take over europe, he would still be trying. Or he would have given up and tried pottery. Hi,

But if you have time on your hands, it's a great game. Hi JD,
