Testserver:

The international test server 'Origin' on http://pioneers.ogame.org will be resetted for updating version 4.0. Players with existing accounts can use their already given login data again, new players have to register. Every player will start with 50k metal, 40k crystal, 30k deuterium and 100k Dark Matter. The test server speed will be 2x.

Please only use the test server if you are really interested in our update tests and use the ingame feedback system to send us your noticed bugs and suggestions around version 4.0 and later updates as well.

As usual it is possible that we have to reset the test server at anytime or that major crashs destroy your development on it. It is possibly to buy and use Dark Matter on the test server; but keep in mind that everything could be lost while a reset or server crash.
