Zorg Empire

Hi everyone,

I want to share some of the things we have been doing lately, as they are not easily discerned and we really want to keep you posted.

-We have been working on RELOADED universe
Lately, not as much as when it launched. It currently runs fine but we still have improvements/features pending. Most of the day-to-day improvements refer to small details on interface.

-We have been working on Expedition recall issue.
Right now, especially when you recall using small speeds (1%,2%,etc) a glitch appears and the returning fleet may take hours. This problem happens in ALL universes.
We will soon implement the re-written recall script in all universes that will eliminate the bug.

-We have been working to other universes
For example, today, we have manually executed a script in SPEED which got rid of some hundreds of inactive accounts.

-We have improved payment script
Some players had troubles getting their rubies instantly (they still got them after a few hours). The latest update was issued today. Since the improvements at our script, there has been 100% success and all rubies were delivered instantly.

-We have been working in getting more players for the game.
So far, we have brought about 1300 NEW players! Most of them, have signed up for RELOADED which currently counts 711 players.
We also have seen a steady influx of returning players.
Right now, we have not yet used our email database to notify everyone who has played ZE before. It is not yet clear if we will do.

-We have been working with the server
The new server has solved a lot of issues but we still have issues with email delivery. Namely, with YAHOO and a couple of other providers who rely on yahoo filtering. It is best you use a GMAIL account. If you want to receive mail at your yahoo account, please follow these instructions

-Delete account option
Soon an option to delete your account will become available to EVERY universe.

Here is an update on our general progress:


Completed List
-We have successfully fixed the Expedition Recall issue across all universes.
No issues have been recorded.

-Payment Scripts improvements work perfectly
Ever since the improvements, there have been no recorded problems.

-Yahoo Issue
We have successfully solved the long-term issue with Yahoo. This has been a nightmare for us for more than a long time now. There have been no failures in recent days.

PENDING IMPLEMENTATIONS

-Transport / Combat History
These are now ready and will debut in RELOADED universe. I will share the final details of them at RELOADED Release Notes soon.

Work in Progress

New players in all universes

In last 25 days, we have got about 2500 new players into Zorg Empire. That's 100 new players per day. These players have spread among all existing universes. This does not mean that we have added 2500 new active players into the game. I have explained how dynamics work here: viewtopic.php?f=64&t=12542

So far, so good. The new system will help us grow again and growth is already happening. What we ask from you is SUPPORT. Support us and we will become better for you. Any kind of support is welcome. Being positive really helps.

Interface improvements / Tools / More features
There are more pending goodies for RELOADED. We only started working at these so they will need some time. Priority will be given to interface improvements, some in-game tools to improve gameplay further and finally to communication tools. Once all these are done, we will share our thoughts for some gameplay features (New Ships are easy to add in Reloaded, New Buildings, New Technologies and New Concepts). Till then, feel free to use suggestions to either unearth good old ideas or create fresh ones.

Next in line for activation, are the following features:

-Transport/Combat History [RELOADED]
-Universe account deletion [ALL UNIVERSES]
