Dark Matter
From OGame Wiki
Taken from ogame.org board
Dark Matter is substance of unknown composition that does not emit or reflect enough electromagnetic radiation to be observed directly, but whose presence can be inferred from gravitational effects on visible matter. As such, it is a very rare and valuable substance in the universe.
Storing Dark Matter has only been possible for a few years and still takes a lot of effort. The methods used to gain dark matter are complex and full of risks.
It is used to purchase various upgrades to improve gameplay, these include:
- OGame Commander
- Fleet Admiral
- Engineer
- Geologist
- Technocrat
- Merchants
Dark matter can be bought through Ogame via Paypal, Credit Card, Phone Call, SMS, and Moneybookers. Additionally with dark matter you aren't bound to any subscription, and the integration in other countries will probably follow.
Here a short overview of the most asked Questions:
1. Can I lose dark matter when I'm raided? - No, dark matter is NOT raidable, as normal resources are.
2. What happens to my active commander and officer subscriptions? - They continue normally with the known price, and can be canceled at any time.
3. I already have a commander subscription and bought dark matter now, what happens..? - You now have the option to use the dark matter for officers only, or you can cancel you commander subscription and buy it with dark matter too.
4. Can I give dark matter away / transport it to another player? - No, thats not possible, dark matter appears in-game as other resources do, but it can't be transported in any way.
5. How long can I use the dark matter after buying it? - Dark matter doesn't expire, the time of use is absolutely your choice.
6. For which time periods can I activate my officers or commanders with dark matter? - You can activate them for time periods starting from 1 week (much more flexibility)
7. Can you buy resources like metal, crystal or deuterium with dark matter? - No.
