help OGame FAQ

Is OGame still running in 2025 after all these years?

Yes — OGame launched in 2000 and is still operated by German publisher Gameforge, making it one of the longest-lived browser MMOs ever. New universes still open periodically, giving fresh servers where everyone starts equal.

What is 'fleetsaving' and why do OGame players obsess over it?

Fleetsaving means keeping your ships constantly in transit while you're offline, because fleets sitting on a planet can be crashed by attackers who harvest the debris. It's the single most important survival habit in the game — losing your fleet overnight to a 'moonshot' phalanx hit is the classic beginner disaster.

How do you get a moon in OGame?

Moons form from debris fields: when a big fleet battle leaves debris in orbit, the largest such battle gives up to a 20% chance of the debris coalescing into a moon. Alliances deliberately engineer these 'moonchance' battles because moons enable jump gates and phalanx scanning.

Is OGame pay-to-win?

Partially — the Dark Matter currency buys Officers and Commander status that boost economy and interface convenience, so spending confers a real edge. Skilled free players still compete seriously, but on fast or competitive universes, Dark Matter advantages are hard to fully offset.
