This week has been a relatively slow news week in the world of OGame.org, but there have been some news, such as the new-stlye newsletter, a new universe (31) as well as - actually, that's about it. But to make up for a slow news week I'll also include some of this week's more popular topics, new GNN reports and reporters and some important links relating to the past week's goings on. (Oh, and from now on, posts like this shall be published on either Mondays or Fridays.)
The first and perhaps most important point of news this week has been an update to the periodically (monthly) published newsletter. The newsletter is still (I assume) being translated by forum administrator Cassandra_Vandales with the original being in German on the OGame.de forum
From the information given, it is still going to be published on the forum (that is, the standard newsletter) but new features will be given to e-mail subscribers or by visiting the blog that has been set up, but still in its infancy. New features added to the newsletter include interview with players from different versions of OGame around the globe, overviews of other GameForge games, and there are planned international competitions (perhaps something akin to the international avatar competition a while back). It waits to be seen how popular it is and we'll be monitoring the story.
Universe 31 was announced and opened on the 24th of April. Announcing the story, Fever informed the community it would be normal speed, utilising the ACS battle system from the start. It opened at 1 PM, server time.
A new universe six report from Cute Kitty detailed the latest goings on in the universe, including an overview on the alliance [wayne]'s domination of the 'Hall of Fame', high profile bannings, statistics/rankings of both players and alliances, etc.
The Galactic News Network is honoured to welcome Ezekiel, Fiery_Angel and Cute Kitty to report on universes five, seven (?) and six respectively
And in another slight update, I've been transfered from GNN univ. six to the forum - it kind of fits with my role in the blog, really.
