The Metaverse Recruiting Center

The Center for New Enlistees and Recruits to the MV

Published on January 3, 2009 By Cypher In Metaverse

Hello new recruits and enlistees. Welcome to the Metaverse. This forum post is for all newcomers to GalCiv2, or just newcomers to the MV. If you're not sure what empire to join on the MV, make a reply on this post and the leaders/senators of the MV empires will take a look and offer you the chance to join their empires.

A Brief Overview on the MV

The Metaverse is one of a kind in that you can play on it whenever you want, and you don't have to go through the complicated process of setting up a game like you do in a regular Multiplayer format. You have three character slots. These slots are your tickets into the MV and into MV empires. Once you've created a character, you can choose to add him to an already existing empire. That's where this post comes in. If you are unsure about which empire to join, or if you are unsure about which empires are currently still active in the MV, this is the place to go for that information. If you have any questions or comments, post to this thread and either myself or a browsing veteran will respond as soon as possible.

I am not entirely certain on how popular this post is going to be. The MV is kind of at a standstill right now, but their are still people posting to it and adding to their empires scores. I encourage anyone who is not currently part of an empire to make a character and join one. Like I said before, any questions that you have on how to do this can be posted right here on this thread. Being active in the Metaverse is just another great part about GalCiv2.

Finally, I am going to try and keep an updated list of active MV empires, and also one of currently "dead" empires. I'm only going to list dead empires that are in the Top 15, but I will be willing to list any empire, no matter what rank, that is currently active in the MV. If a player comes to this thread and sees that their active empire isn't in my list, please feel free to drop me a reply so that I can add you to the list of actives. Also, you may have noticed that some of the active empires have their names as links. If you click on one of these links, you will be taken directly to that empire's official thread. I hope you find everything you need here at the MVRC. Thank you and Best Regards.

Alas, it seems there is no place for one such as I, who believes in the path of good. Somebody should do something about that.

Ahhh, yes. Unfortunately, many of the "Good" empires have been inactive. However, just because there are no empires who specifically say "The Tyranny of Good", doesn't mean you shouldn't join. I myself, as you can see from my medals, am a "Chaotic Good" player, yet I am on the Tyranny of Evil. Don't forget that these empires really are there just to unite players and let them form some frienships. So far, I haven't taken any heat for being good.

As for somebody doing something about there not being any "Good" empires, I think that if you wanted to create an empire of your own, you should go for it. Just do everybody a favor and make sure some people will actually join the empire - there are quite a few "dead" empires in the MV that are just taking up space and wasting possible name choices for other empires.

Anyway - Thanks for the reply and Best Regards. BTW - feel free to join the ToE if you want to - we are currently open for new members.

Inactive Empires in the Metaverse

The High Command Hegemony
The Galactic Diplomats
B.C. Space Orcas
Hueco Mundo
The Overmind
The Browncoats
Qourth Empire
Yuuzhan Vong
The Colonial Fleet
United Confederation of Planets

some of these empires went dead really quickly, Hueco Mundo went down really fast, after a few days or so. The United Confederation went down within a fews months of it founding. The Yuuzhan Vong went inactive less than two months after it was made.

Thanks for the info Seth. Now I'm asking anyone that's considering making an MV empire to only create it if they are going to stick with it. Thanks. Best Regards.

Good work Cypher. It's good to see "new blood" taking up the MV cause. +4 karma

On another note things are really not all that dire. There's an ebb and flow and no doubt we're currently in an ebb but that too shall pass. The only thing you need to watch out for is to make sure that the game is always fun for you. Many people have simply burnt themselves out over the game and if folks occasionally take some time off from the game they often come back later with renewed enthusiasm.

Thanks for the comment Mumblefratz. I really appreciate it. It is also very good to hear that this is just an ebb, and not a major fall of popularity for the game. I'll also take your comment on not burning myself out over the game to heart. I think that's a great point and again - I really appreciate the comment. Thank you very much and Best Regards.

Devouring other sentient beings is "good".....just try it.

Not entirely correct. The Yuuzhan Vong used to be called the Arrakis Imperium, and have been around for quite a long time.

Sentient species taste better...

The Raiders went dead awhile back...but we're back...er, i'm back! One day i will rule and those who do not join my pilliaging ranks will feel my wrath! It is good to see you KP...my ally!

Long Live The Raiders! (and almost as long live the kzinti!)

@ DSep: I know that you guys went dead, but I also recently read your empire's thread. It seems to me like you brought your empire back to life, so I put you in the Active list. Thanks for the reply and Best Regards.

Ahh, yes. Well, give me a break - as you can probably see, I've been on these forums all day, and where I live, it's currently 9:30 PM. I know that's not late for some of you guys, but I've been up since 5 AM. I'm a little bit tired. When I'm tired, I miss some things. Best Regards.

InfernalRS, the Gerontocracy most certainly has room (and need) for geezers devoted to goodness. Plus, since our emporer went on RL-driven hiatus, we can't even pretend to limit our membership to folks who've had thirty or forty birthdays. All we really 'require' is that you be old at heart and post a game or three every year or two. Availability for hollering from the porch at various entities moving in and out of the rest home yard is a plus.

Your leader's absence is your downfall. Long live the Geckodon Alliance.
