Galaxy Online: Intensified Space to Conquer
In the vast expanses of space, Galaxy Online combines many unique design elements, including a commerce system, planetary colonization, warship design, fleet command, imperial expansion and much, much more. With all the game has to offer, the Galaxy Online team nevertheless has found a way to make it even more exciting. To create a better gaming environment with more intense PvP competition, they will merge Aries, Taurus and Gemini servers into the Libra server.
In addition, the developers are making modifications to some features to further encourage player conflicts and cooperation. First, the default nodes that separate the player factions will be removed. As players are forced to interact more with members of rival factions, they will evolve better combat strategies and teamwork. After the server merger, all characters’ friends and corps data will be deleted. Players will have to look for new friends and corps on the combined server, forming powerful new forces to withstand the challenges of a more densely populated universe.
If these changes aren’t enough to spice up your plans for exploration and conquest, the Galaxy Online team will also add offensive pirates to the vast universe. The extra variable will make battles more complex and their results more difficult to predict. Will pirates be your friends or foes when you engage your enemies? Either way, they will be a force to be reckoned with.
The merger will also have an impact on players’ characters and virtual property on the affected servers. Only one character per account will be transferred over. By default, the character with the highest Composite Strength score will be selected, unless players apply to have a different character transferred. The remaining characters will be deleted. Characters moving to the Libra server will have the planets they occupy outside of their home galaxy moved into their home galaxy. Despite their new locations, players shouldn’t see any changes to those occupied planets. Also, any GO Mall points exchanged by a character marked for deletion will be moved over to the character that is transferring over to the new server. When the merger is complete, every character on Libra that was created with an account registered before 1:00 AM EDT (GMT-4) on July 17, 2009 will receive 500 GO Mall Points. Based on Composite Strength ranking, the top 2,000 characters on each of the affected servers will receive an additional 500 Mall Points.
After the Libra merger, the Galaxy Online team will open a brand new server for new Galaxy Online players.
Make no mistake: the Libra server will be a dangerous, intense place to play, but as characters encounter and overcome these challenges, their accomplishments will be that much more impressive. Get ready to test yourself against new foes and make new allies as you expand your horizons and experience epic journeys to far off places, all in Galaxy Online!
