Calling All Captains Across OGame — New Language Servers Inbound!

In celebration of OGame's 20th anniversary, Gameforge recently launched the massive Lifeforms expansion on English servers. As of 5th August, 16 additional languages are available, bringing the massive content update to players across the world in their local languages! 

The game-changing Lifeforms expansion introduces four species into the universe of OGame and opens up countless new strategies for players to explore, with new buildings, technologies, and actions specific to each race. To learn more, take a look at the two tutorials that introduce the new Human, Kaelesh, Mecha, and Rock’tal lifeforms and go over their strategies, benefits, and tech trees. There’s also a Q&A on the way that covers the new expansion!

Make New Friends as Two NosTale Servers Merge

Even more folks can join you on your NosTale adventures as two server merges bring more players together. At the beginning of August, the German DE 1 (Ancelloan) and DE 2 (Fortuna) servers came together to become DE 1 (Alzanor), while the English EN 3 (International-1) and EN 4 (International-2) servers transformed into EN 3 (INT-Valehir). This is only the beginning as eventually some US servers will also be merged. 

All of your characters, spouses, and families will remain in place as servers are merged. Any additional characters exceeding the cap after the move will be deactivated and can be restored at your leisure. Your friend lists and spouses will also be merged and waiting for you on the new, combined server. As for families, all active ones will be moved over, and your Family Head will get a parcel with all the items from the family warehouse. So hop back into NosTale and take a look around!
