This is a hazardous thing to do before i explain what it is, there are many risks involved. Basically, you can trade Resourses from one server to anouther e.g. Untrained units in main for turns in Quantum. However there is no cross server "trade broker" and therefore the person you are tradeing with, or you can rip off each other quite easily, there is no way to get the resources back you have traded, and therefor it is a risky buisiness. It is however as i said before very much allowed in the game. To make it safer you could always try useing a neutral go between on each server, however that person could also rip you off. Bassically You can do it, but there are risks.

I believe that the risks are summed up quite well by the statement Forum makes.... n00bs take heed:

Place your trust wisely, or risk learning one of the lessons the cosmos can teach the hard way.

Ok, it's possible to trade bewteen servers but how do I actually give turns to someone in Quantum and how does he give back Naq or whatever?

All I can do in main is choose one player and then I can give whatever I want to him... but Quantum players... not even a sniff

your quantum turns go to the his quantum acct. then his main acct gives u the payment for the turns to ure main acct. so there is no direct server trade per se but trade btween 2 (yours and his) accts both on 2 servers (any 2 servers)

oooh, I get it now. Thanks.

I thought direct trades were possible.

Thanks again

i have a question, as far as i know me and my friend are on the main server, but we cant find eachother or the alliances me we made, are there sub servers for the main server?

or the better question, is my freind just too specail to relize hes on a diff server

nm guys sorry, my friend is specail, and dint know he need a rank to do any thing, its sad you have to TRY not to have a rank

theres no reason why you shouldnt see ure friends acct unless hes unrankd atm (thats if he just registered). there are no sub server in main, do make sure he knows which server hes on

Why is this being asked here?

true, its off topic

well it was kinda related, cross server tradeing, a sub server to the main one, there was no point in makeing a hole new tobic for a simple question

no theres no subserver in main, infact there are no subservers at all in the 4 servers, only 2 out of the 4 servers a linked in 1 way- ascntion and main. all 4 servers are stand alone servers
an example of cross server trade is this

now if u hav any other question about trading btwn 2 server feel free to ask but your initial post never had any relevance to cross server trading so try to keep the topic on thread
