I've got good news! The referral bonus for bringing in new players has been significantly increased to $1,500,000 and 50 steel, aluminum, gasoline, and munitions. To receive this bonus, you must recruit a new player to the game who then lists your username on the registration page. For convenience, you can use the links on the Referrals page.

Be aware that to receive this referral bonus, the new player must stick around for at least 2 weeks and reach a score of 30. When both of those prerequisites are met, the funds and resources will be automatically credited to your account.

Let's get more players to join our great community!

For a limited amount of time, we'll be running a deal on VIP Subscriptions! VIP Subscriptions are the only way to display a national anthem and leader portrait on your nation page! Other perks of being a VIP member include a special forum mask and access to the VIP Lounge on the forums.

This deal won't last long, so purchase your VIP Subscriptions and get 50% more, free!

This is just a clarification post that we changed the server time when we moved the game to the new server. We're now running on Mountain Standard Time instead of Mountain Daylight Time, so until Daylight Savings Time ends (November 1st) the server time will be off by 1 hour from what you're used to. We won't have to deal with the nasty issues of DST when it hits/ends anymore, though, which I think makes this worthwhile. Just a heads up because it's been a FAQ these past couple of days.

The game is back live.

If you haven't read the notice on the main index page, please go do so now.

The game has been down for some time temporarily while it was moved to a new server with far better security. This is due to a recent group of hacks into the game's databases. We've added ss23, a new administrator, to help manage and secure the game's server.

The game has also been rolled back to 12AM on 8/27, which was a very unfortunate consequence of this whole matter. The hackers had caused irreparable damage to the DB after that point, and so we were forced to restore from that date.

If you purchased credits after that date, they should be available in your account. If for any reason there is a discrepancy there, please PM me (Sheepy) about it.

I fully take responsibility for what has happened to the game under my watch. A lack of security expertise has lead to repeated issues with hackers over the months. However, I am happy to have ss23 on board, and super excited about the new server and extra security features that are now in place. I am looking forward to moving on from this incident, and hope that you'll forgive me and we can all move on together.
