    TDZK has reached an agreement with a new provider, and we will be providing more detailed information on that soon. However, it will take until the end of the week before we can make the switch.During that time, we may have to knock down one or two things to preserve bandwith (such as custom banners), and the turn rate will be cut in half.We know that it's annoying, but as soon as we move to the new servers TDZK should be lag-free (the new servers are 4x as powerful as the current ones), and running at full power once again.

    Long live TDZK!

    So I noticed DU, so I noticed...

    By the way guys (Milo and Fatman or anyone else who plays TDZK really), I'm now at 8207, which is where the good Sheriff told me to go, now what exactly do I do once I'm there?

    What thing do I dock at? The port or the station? Am I even in the right place?

    Slagger, I've PM'd you the alliance password. Once you have joined, check out the alliance forum for advice on what kind of ship to build.

    Jar, the station is the one you want. It has the ships, bank and upgrades.

    Slagger, once you've joined the alliance, you have access to our forums - check those out for nice ship ideas!

    If I dock in the wrong place, I'm going to blame it on you, the interface, the overload of information, the lack of information, my mouse, basically everyone and everything to do with it except me :).

    At this point, I could point out the ease and competence with which all other TA users have adapted to their starfaring lives, but that would be mean, so I'll not mention it.

    Read the help files! If you still have trouble after that, I'll be requiring you to turn over your copy of Civ and forever swear off strategy games.

    YAY! more and more peeps start playing TDZK... GREAT!!!

    And I'm nearly level 20 (yahoooo) that has taken me AGES!!!!

    but when I reach that.... I will amass great amounts of cash and later on get my very own war-ship (preferably a destroyer.... lol)

    Warship, once all of the TA people get very nice warships (and people from aozos) we should take on a planet for ourselves. Muahahaha. :minigun:

    Oh yea, I'm in.

    yes it would be EXTREMELY hard to figure out if it wasnt for the tutorials. It is kinda hard to get started USING the tutorials much less without them.

    Not only is TDZK back, but it seems faster than it was. I can actually sit there and play the game rather than clicking, getting something to eat. Click, go to the bathroom. Click, watch a half-hour TV show.

    lol, yeah it does seem faster. Still kinda slow with my 56k modem. ACK! I live outside the city limits and cant get cable or dsl. Hopefully one or both will expand out to where i am.

    If you have the money, you could get a satellite link. Then again, who has that kind of money?

    Satellite is high bandwidth but also high delay. He wouldn't see much of an improvement in connection speeds.

    Also, Sheriff, the reason I appear to be so slow to pick this up is, I don't like making mistakes, wasting turns and stuff. I've played Archmage before, so it's not like this is my first time playing this sort of thing.

    I've also got a test tomorrow night, so after that I'll be able to play some more. Until then, I'll just be getting lots of turns :).
