  • Next Age of Utopia to have official trading

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

The next age of Utopia begins in about 2 weeks.
Hi all,

Finally we are able to give you some of the Utopia news that you have been waiting for.

Let me start by saying that both of the Utopia servers will restart on November 3rd, as I know that the Question and Answer forum has a few threads about this.

I also have some news about the sign-up system for the game, which we are modifying. From November 3rd onwards you will have only one user account, which can be tied to multiple game accounts - although we will still allow only one game account per server. This means that you will access both your World of Legends and Genesis game accounts via one master account.

We are additionally going to trial a limited form of trading/targeted kingdom selection. In practice, this will mean that next round you will have a limited number of chances to perform different actions. You will be able to either move your province to the kingdom of your choice – with consent from the monarch of that kingdom, and provided the kingdom actually has space for you, or you may swap provinces with someone else – with consent of both players, or finally you may take over an existing province - which would naturally destroy any province which you may already have.

Please note however that this system is experimental, and is likely to only be available to you on the World of Legends server.

A new premium feature will be introduced at the same time which will allow formal account sitting.

Last, but not least, you will be pleased to hear that the game manuals have having a re-vamp and a re-write which is progressing nicely, although we can’t promise that they will be ready for the start of the new age.

that game's still alive? Only took them a decade to finally condone province swapping?

I stopped playing it... 3 years ago I think? I don't miss it

My Kingdom is probably the greatest Kingdom in the game's history, so I keep an eye on things. I think it would be interesting to get a Shrine Kingdom going. See how long it would be until we self-destruct... Or if we can actually team together effectively and beat the crap out of another team =P
