Maker of Ogame laying off 20% of their employees!

by on Nov.09, 2011, under Blog, News


Gameforge announced they will be re-organizing (code for laying off employees/cancelling new games).

The developer of Ogame the massive multiplyer online space simulation game is dismissing approximately 100 employees.  
That is a very significant number (20-22% of its entire workforce of approximately 500 employees). In my opinion this segment is still a growth market with no shortages is players (however location, location, location) imagine Ogame on facebook; perfect match; I just solved their problem!
Roesner CEO Alexander explanation for the dismissals is the necessity to provide a more efficient structure for the organization. “Through a more efficient organizational structure, we can optimize our use of resources and great potential for Further Growth Increase. This then severely compromise our long term position in the dynamic market for online games.” 

RPG  titled Hellbreed, plus another titled Mythos, both were cancelled. Although  international servers remain active. Currently games offered by Gameforge besides OGAME are: Star Trek – Infinite Space, Wizard101, Sphira: Warrior’s Dawn, Metin2, CABAL , 4Story, Ikariam, Elsword, BattleKnight, NosTale, KingsAge, Tanoth, Gladiatus, BiteFight, AirRivals.

Also founder/CEO Christoph Gerlinger is set to leave the company to focus on new and different challenges in the business world. This is after Gameforge acquired Frogster in August, making Gameforge the largest provider of online games in Europe.

How 2 become a Ogame Gameoperator

by on Nov.07, 2011, under Blog, Tips

What does a Game Operator do?

A Ogame Operator reads through players’ inquiries and answers them one by one, mainly through tickets and IRC.

A Game Operator checks his/her universe(s) for players that don’t follow the rules and ban when and if necessary for a given amount of time.

A Game Operator remains friendly to the online players and is always as helpful as possible. We work as a team and help each other as much as possible.

A Game Operator also should be in IRC very often to help people with questions and problems as fast as possible.

 

 

What are the requirements to be accepted into the team?

 

-Being over 18 years old due to legal issues.

-Speak English fluently and be able to communicate in English properly without any difficulties

-Having a considerable amount of time to offer to the job (At least a daily average of 2-3 hours). Inactivity will result in you being removed.

-Accepting positive feedback and criticism from other members of the team while being able to successfully being part of it.

-Having a helping and easy going personality.

-Enough game and rules experience to be able to actually help people.

-Very important: Knowledge of what IRC is and time to be present in IRC as often as possible.

-Being able to enjoy team work and have some fun!

 

 

What should you include in your application ?

 

Using a MINIMUM of 500 words tell us about yourself using the criteria below:

 

-The way you can fulfill the requirements above.

-Briefly some real life work and studying experience.

-Your age and origin.

-Your name on the Board.

-Why we should hire you.

-What actually motivates you to apply.

-OGame experience.

-OGame universes you have played and are currently playing.

-If you were banned in the past (In Game & on Boards), what for.

 

Note: Applications which consist just of less than 500 words will be deleted right away. Your application should show us that you really want to be part of the team and help players and if you can’t even write 500 words then you clearly don’t have enough time for us.

 

We also don’t want applications from people with prejudices, racist attitudes or from people who just want to have a colored nick in the board. We prefer new staff members who are not already part of another community due to time availability; however, those in a game forge community already can still apply and we will consider each application case by case.

 

 

Who should I send my application to?

 

Email it to _____________ (diferent for each country) with subject ‘GO Application’

 

What happens after I submit my GO application?

 

After you submit your GO application it will be reviewed by a Ogame Game Administrator. Once reviewed the Game Admin will either send you an email of rejection or one to come in on IRC for an interview. During the interview the applicant will be asked a series of questions to test their knowledge about our game rules and game play. Once the interview is complete the Game Admin will decide whether or not they will be picked to become a Trial Game Operator or not. An email will be sent either rejecting or accepting you.
