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.

Much has changed since you were last here.

HOLY CRAP. now ther's a name i havent seen for a long time.

Welcome Back!

You have much work to be done to ressurect the Orcas TBAY...But i wish you the best of luck with it.

Good to see you back though, enjoy your games mate!!

Welcome back!

Seeing as the leader of the BC Space Orcas has returned, it seems fitting to place your empire in the "Active" list. Welcome back to the forums and the MV. I wish you the best of luck.

on Feb 24, 2009

Thnx for the welcome.  You are right, it will be a long hard road as at the moment I am a I man empire,  but we are still in 5th place and most of us left 2 or more years ago.  Good to see they have added the tournaments also.  I have made the top 5 list there.  Proud of myself after not playing for over 2 years.  The Metaverse seems a lot more active now.  A lot of us left because it was dying.  Well off to bed.   Cya tomorrow.    TBAY.

Hey you all, just to let you know that my post has been updated and you should check it out and drop a comment. Just one thing, watch out for the Rosie Clones,  I'm still having nightmares.

I can't say that I wouldn't buy GC3 if it didn't have MV. But I will say that it definitely has given this game its replayability. I doubt I would be playing as much as I do if i couldn't submit games. Although I only have 18 games I do play whenever I can, (which is a lot less since my wife discovered Facebook).

TBAY, you should check out the Orcas' page at the AltMeta. When the AltMeta is feeling good, it is easier to find active players because it ages out scores more quickly than the official MV. I mention "feeling good" because updates get balky sometimes and this morning I don't see your TBAY character there despite seeing several recent scores on your MV character page. Maybe Kryo can kick some code chunk for you.

Re being a solo act, unless the AltMeta is making stuff up as well as mislaying info, it looks like there are at least two characters still posting for the Orcas this year: Lethstang and Spontaneous Combustion.

on Feb 25, 2009

I just Changed my character's name from Spontaneous Combustion to TBAY.  Thebestaintyou was my first Character but I made a bet that if anyone in the guild could catch me I would change the name.  Then allienz Von K joined guild and wiped me out.  He and his second Character were 1 and 2 on the Metaverse for a long time.  I changed thebestaintyou's name to Ivebeenhumbled.  Thebestaint you was hampered by the 3 losses I posted when I first started, not Knowing how the point system worked.  That is why I created Spontaneos Combustion.  I changed it back to TBAY as everyone of the old timers on this game Knew me by that.  Anyways  theres a little Orca history for you.  Cya Later  TBAY

Hi TBAY, welcome back. If you've been gone for that long you will have missed the Twilight of the Arnor expansion, or as we say, TA. I'd encourage you to download it from Stardock and play it rather than (or in addition too) Dread Lords (DL). The TA expansion won Best Expansion of the Year at several places which is what brought the game to my attention in the first place. I liked DL a lot, but I love TA. And no, LOL, I don't work for Stardock! I've just noticed that some people are still playing DL and I believe the TA game i sjust more fun. There are also a lot of people playing Dark Avatar (DA), the first expansion, mostly I think for scoring reasons, but again, I think you can score quite well on TA, probably just as well, it's just you won't go about it the same way. Anyway, glad to see you here, and long life life to the BC Orca's.

I have a battle that I won  but I don't know where to post it?  I have a short story lead and  few picturs. What is a ARRs post?    How I put in Twilight of Arnor? I am so confused.  Please help?

Hello Gm00nii,

If you have completed a game then you should get the option to connect to the MV and post the score at the end of the game. If you do not get this option it means you were playing in sandbox mode and the game score cannot be posted to the MV. I know this because I just lost a 470K game a few weeks back because I was in sandbox mode when I htought I was in MV mode. That hurt. Make sure you start all games from the Metaverse button in the main menu.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand your Twilight of the Arnor question...

Hello 

I have a battle that I won  but I don't know where to post it?  I have a short story lead and  few picturs. What is a ARRs post?    How I put in Twilight of Arnor? I am so confused.  Please help? 

If you are asking for where to post an AAR of your game, there is a specific AAR section of the forums for that.  Or you could post it in your empire thread, or really wherever you want. 

I'm not sure what you mean about TA either.

GmOOnii, the AAR (after action report) area is here. It is not specific to any version of the game. You'll need to post your pictures on your own server space or on one of the 'free' picture hosting services; Stardock currently does not support direct posting of pictures for the forums, but storage does seem to be getting cheaper all the time...
