Server 2 was restarted today, so if you want to start over on a new server, go to http://s2.imperialages.com and register. The new graphics are 90% done, so they’ll probably be ready by the end of the month. They’ll be implemented on all open servers when they’re done.

We’re on Twitter

On November 26 2009 at 12:00 am GMT+2 We`ll close S2 and we`ll restart it on January 6 2010 at 10:00 am GMT+2. Most likely anyone will be able to register starting from January 1 2010.

S2 will be restarted in December(probably on 1 December), the exact date will be announced later and we`re working on implementing the new graphic pack. Probably by the end of the year will be ready and everyone will see it in action.

We will be re-starting Server 1 tomorrow, September 1st, at 12:00 Server Time (GMT+3). As we announced previously, we will limit the number of accounts one can sit for to just two.

The forums will be open tomorrow as well.

We will re-launch Server 1 next week, hopefully on September 1st. There will be one change to the server, which was requested by many in time. We will limit the number of people someone can sit for to just two.

The forums will be reopened one or two days before S1 will be launched.

The speed server was started sooner than we expected. Sorry for launching it sooner. We’ll try to stick to the schedule from now on.

The protection period lasts 24 hours.

The server speed is 8x (everything happens 8 times faster than on a normal server).

The Speed Server will start on July 6th at 23:00 (11:00 PM server time – 08:00 PM GMT time) . From now until July 6th the pre registration period is open, allowing you to register your username and activate it. You will not be able to log in until the server starts.

The address of the speed server is http://speed.imperialages.com

The speed is 8x on the server, meaning that everything happens 8 times faster than on a regular server.

The sitter function has been deactivated for the speed server, as a test. I will remind you that sharing passwords is forbidden, and punishments on the speed server will be more severe than on the regular servers.

The server will last ~1 month.

After 14 months since we first started the beta server, it’s time to close down Server 1. A huge thank you to everyone who was with us since the beginning and helped us get rid of the unavoidable initial bugs and to improve the game.

The winner of S1 is player van peder, which belongs to the ELITE-100 alliance, with 46 villages and a total score of 68,168.

The highest ranked alliance at the end of S1 is Browncoats, with a total score of 630,361 (an average of 8,404 per each of the 75 members). Congratulations to cicatryx, the Browncoats leader.

Other stats:
Most offensive player: kysupercat (score 1,190,448)
Most defensive player: dman (score 768,774)
Most offensive alliance: Browncoats (score 5,195,404)
Most defensive alliance: Browncoats (score 4,888,066)

Congrats to everyone that played on S1 and thanks to everyone that supported us.

The speed server will begin in one week probably, taking one month at 8x speed. S1 will be restarted when the speed server is closed.

In around 3 weeks, when S1 closes, we will start a speed round, our first one. It will last around 1 month and it will allow us to finish the graphics for the S1 restart.

What we’re looking at right now for the speed round:

• 6-8 times faster than a normal server (resources gathering, troop movement, merchant speed and so on). Everything will be faster. Haven’t decided yet if it’s going to be 6 or 8 times faster.
• no sitters allowed
• resource trading between same IP accounts will be blocked automatically. If you log in with someone else’s password, you will no longer be able to trade resources with him.
• because the speed will be faster, we will also delete accounts that cheat faster. You might not get a second chance if you break the rules, so I’d try to play nice.

The speed round will start in the second part of May and there will be a one week period for pre-registrations. More news to follow.

As of now, Server 3 is open for new registrations.

There are no changes compared to S2 in troops or buildings stats or costs.
