For those of you that still have unused VIP that you paid for, please send an email to alex@imperialages.com with the following details: username, server, id of the paypal transaction. We will refund you for the VIP that you haven’t used yet. Please send the email from the address used when you registered in the game. The money will be refunded in the next 7 days.

Thank you,
The Imperial Ages Team

It started as an ambition to create a game that remedied many of the problems we saw with browser games at the time, including the fact that in our game no player would have an advantage over another by paying for it, as many other games do. Unfortunately, the game no longer makes enough money to support the costs of the dedicated server. As a result we chose to close the game now, while we still have sufficient money to offer a refund to people that bought VIP during the past year and still have unused months. Once the servers are closed, if you still have paid VIP which is unused, you can email us with the details we’ll specify at that time and we will refund you for the period which wasn’t used.

We’d like to thank everyone that tried our game and invested time and passion in it and we apologize for offering so little notice before we close it.

We have no plans right now to re-open the game in the future. Though we discussed the possibility, it would require considerable funds and much more free time to invest in the game on a daily basis than we were able to until now.

Congrats to everyone that played on S3 and thanks to everyone that supported us.

The server will be restarted in 1 week on April 28, 10:00 AM GMT +2.

Also with the restart of S3 the beta comes to an end. The Game end is done and will be available in S3.

Sunday morning 07 March 2010 , around 10:00 the new graphic will be implemented in all running servers. We may delay it 1-2 hours depending on how much work needs to be done.

The graphic still has some minor bugs and a few things aren’t displayed perfectly but with your help we’ll finish all the modifications.

We decided that it is the best action to launch it as it is, than to delay the moment with another 1-2 weeks.

There are some bad news, unfortunately: The new graphic doesn’t work on IE 6 anymore. It’s to complicated and we used a lot of JavaScript so it’s quite impossible to make the it working as it should. Maybe in the future we’ll have enough time to modify it in order to support IE 6 too.

With the new graphic, in 1-2 months we’ll redesign the Imperial Ages front page, blog, manual and the forum.

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.

You’ll probably see a smaller amount of activity on our part, and it might take us a longer time to reply to your messages in the next 10 days or so. We hope you understand.

Once again, happy holidays and see you next year!

Right now you’ll be seeing plenty of posts about what we’re doing to the new manual and about our preparations for the third age on S1, plus some info on the new game interface that we’re working on.

Why another blog? Well, the main blog is used for major announcements mostly, and we can’t really update it every time we work on something new that isn’t implemented yet. The Quick Updates blog will allow us to update you on what’s going on.

You can find it here: http://updates.imperialages.com/

The VIP features you can find here.

You have a 7 day free trial to test it, and see if you like what it has to offer. If you don’t, you can still play the game for free, and you’re under no obligation to buy anything. The game is still free for everyone. The VIP package is for those that want some comfort features while supporting the further development of the game and the running costs.

We’ll release the payment by PayPal in a few days for the VIP and we’ll look into adding credit card payments in September probably. We need to test the PayPal payment first, so it will take 1-2 days before you can buy the package. In the meantime, go to the VIP page, in the upper part of the page and activate your free 7 day trial.

Enjoy :)
