The main reason for the forums, is simply to communicate with other uwars players as an alternative to uwars chat.

Depending on which forum you access, you will come across varied genres of threads.

E.g. Questions Board is obviously for game related questions.

It's a simple as that.

UTML stands for Universe Wars Text Mark-Up Language and gives you access to text formatting and adding images to things including forum posts, mail messages and alliance descriptions.

You will normally have the option to use the following tool bar to help you with your message formatting. You can use it by, for example, typing in some text, highlighting it then press the button circled to center it.


Here is a table with the formatting options.

Failure to comply with these rules will result in punishment which normally will be a ban from the game forums for a specified amount of time. We reserves the right to change these rules at any time and without notice.

1. UWars prohibits discrimination of any kind, including, but not limited to, gender, sexual preference, race, disability or religious beliefs.

3. Excessive swearing and the use of terms un-suitable for a 13 year old are not allowed.

4. Impersonating Staff or other players for any reason is not allowed.

5. 'Begging' on the boards, i.e. asking gold, tokens etc., is not allowed.

6. Spamming is not allowed, which includes, but not limited to, posting multiple times in a row on a particular thread, posting the same post on multiple threads, posting pointless posts which include little or no content, posting purely to increase your post count etc etc.
