Astro Empires

So here I was banging this... lets say... girl of the night, then suddenly her "manager" comes in and gives her the strong right back hand. She's laying on the ground crying, I'm trying to decide if I should be mad or turned on, and if that isn't weird enough he stops checks his phone and says ahh Sh** its on, blob crash. We're sitting there a couple minutes then he screams he** yes, after three years we just won the server! Curious I ask what its all about and he steers me to this 1984 browser game. Intrigued, I tried it out, and much like how I came too be there I didn't really enjoy it at first but the more I played the more I liked it! Now been playing for a little bit, found a good group and taking over galaxies and posting crappy means on AEU. Oh, and I did get a refund from the manager for those that were curious.

If you don't pay out the arse for their upgraded accounts, you'll spend your entire game on here being occupied and struggling to do anything at all.
Free accounts are just meat for upgraded accounts to grab hold of.
The servers are dying (some are already dead) and the latest updates have made it even more ridiculous.

Might be worth a 1 time payment like minecraft, but them expecting ongoing payments when most people end up deleting their accounts anyways, is hilarious.

I've played Astro Empire for more than I'd care to admit. In all that time it has been my crutch, my gateway to a better existence and a way to help with my crippling depression and anxiety. I've met some fantastic people. Sure the gameplay, graphics, anti-cheat, server quality/stability, plot, progression, NPC's, Updates, Game Staff, Forum Staff may be complete dog but it's really the community that provides a full package.

And the community is very helpful. From delusional lunatics to self-obsessed minor celebrity sociopaths there is every kind of misanthropic personality you could possibly think of in the unofficial discord which houses the majority of the community.

A must play game!

Let me tell you a tale of the best game ever. It is called, Astro Empires. Let me tell ya, this community of hard core and dedicated gamers that span this space epic are some of the warmest hearted, unique, kind of something wonderful characters one wants on an online forum.

I have spent so many hours playing this game, everyone is like family. So kind and supportive to new players, if you tell them where your bases are, they will show you what you're doing wrong. Never will you find a community so eager for new folks to join and build up above level 30. So eager for folks to let them know when they do, too, so they can welcome you to what the game is all about.

One of the best MMO's I've ever known. I've only been playing for 2 years, I'm only level 51, I don't use scripts or multis and I've only been attacked 7 times. Most players forget that this game is a marathon and not a race. That is why many complain that they are constantly being attacked, as long as they build the empire in order to avoid being profitable, they will rarely be attacked. There will always be exceptions, but as a rule a good player, on top, only attacks for profit!

AstroEmpires is a hoot. I was put onto the game by a self-loathing friend who has nothing to live for. AE helped him achieve this.

If you find a good group to play with, then it's a good time. A chore. But a (kinda) fun chore.

The pure loss of self worth when you hit the wrong fleet in a crash, compared to that sexy dopamine hit when you get a juicy pillage or a beautiful ratio. It's just a rollercoaster.

For the full AE experience, you have to join the AE Unofficial Discord group. There's never been a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. The most cretinous group of $#*!posters in the world.

I want to hate it, and them… but I can't. Whether I like it or not, I'm trapped here. In an endless cycle of self-loathing, dopamine and $#*!posters.

$#*!.
