What is Valenoa?
Valenoa is a realtime, multiplayer, browser-based, space conquest game. When you register, you are plunged into a universe with a potentially unlimited number of other players.
You have to do everything you can to ensure that you and the world that you command survive.
You may adopt a peaceful approach and obtain your resources via nonviolent means such as trading and mining. On the other hand, you could raid other worlds for profit, kill their citizens, destroy their ships and take their resources.
Valenoa is a very new game. It is still at version 0.5.0 and undergoing a public Alpha Test.
The Alpha Test
The Alpha Test started on Tuesday 12 April 2005 at 2120BST. The test started at version 0.3.1. Since then it has been through several iterations, each adding extra features and fixing bugs. This process will continue for some time, until a mature, stable and fully-featured game can be presented to the world.
Valenoa is currently being tested by a small group of people, most of whom have been with Valenoa for quite a long time now. However, it is open to everybody. There is a thread in the forum for applications. Simply reply to that thread to express your interest and you will be sent a play key and further instructions via the private message system. I'm sure you will find the community friendly and welcoming.
