Introductions
OGame is a strategic space simulation game with thousands of players across the world competing with each other simultaneously. All you need to play is a standard web browser.
OGame is a game of intergalactic conquest.
You start out with just one undeveloped world and turn that into a mighty empire able to defend your hard earned colonies.
Create an economic and military infrastructure to support your quest for the next greatest technological achievements.
Wage war against other empires as you struggle with other players to gain the materials.
Negotiate with other emperors and create an alliance or trade for much needed resources.
Build an armada to enforce your will throughout the universe.
Hoard your resources behind an impregnable wall of planetary defences.
Whatever you wish to do, OGame can let you do it.
Will you terrorize the area around you? Or will you strike fear into the hearts of those who attack the helpless?
The OGame Story
This is the story of a species, a race - its our race, the humans.
Interestingly enough the story has not yet happened, but it should still be told. Once in a time you will find that time runs in parallel, that everything that was in the past, forms the present as well as the present is the basis for the future. There has been found a way to visit the past without altering the future. Because one can only alter the future when living it for oneself. This might be hard to understand, but its true. Only when you know that something has happened, you can change it, because it then is part of one's own past. You will simply disappear from that point on, no changes will take place, because this is already the past.. your past.
It began in the year 2250 - the year 'alpha' - when the first man took the risk of an interstellar flight of more than three minutes and thus farther than any probe had gone before. It was a new kind of engine called impulse engine, which allowed mankind to travel at the speed of light. Yes there were earlier space flights, but those were limited, a mere glimpse into space compared to the later achievements. But mankind's natural impulse for new adventures continued to push the development further and thus prolonging the space flights little by little over the years.
Certainly the competitive struggle of the involved aerospace companies has helped for new inventions and technological advancement. While Boing Industries still relied on their old combustion engine that has been banned from the earths atmosphere, rival ErBus tried to put aside the various troubles they encountered with their impulse engine. Drawbacks and explosions at first dampened the vision of a new kind of technology, but in the process of development the Y-particles were replaced by a chemical compound being more safe, thanks to the theoretical contributions of the well-known particle physicist Al Ainstone. Only slightly aside the main stage, smaller companies and private groups also felt the need for space exploration and the demand for better and faster yet more efficient propulsion systems was immanent.
