Sorry for launching it sooner. We’ll try to stick to the schedule from now on.

You can play here: http://speed.imperialages.com

You can register here: http://speed.imperialages.com/Register.aspx

The protection period lasts 24 hours.

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

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.

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.
