Hmm. Ballerium servers were taken down in July 2008. So sad. I hoped they'd fix the problems, but they didn't. Here is my email should anyone be interested. Carrots107@gmail.com. I played another game called Angels Online for a while, but quit that. Now playing Eve Online under the name Anarich. I wonder if anyone visits this site anymore. Maybe they will release the source code someday to that game. It had alot of potential if only they had more people and spent more money on it.
I updated the site with a new maps for the current round. Since I didn't get the maps in their original state, they will have the region of the current clans. The creation of translations of this site has been delayed. I will try and eventually get to it, but no the current timetable has been thrown out. I will also try to find some time and look at the new update to see if any fundamental changes have been made and update site for that stuff.- April 8, 2007
I replaced the old map with the most current one with city labels. I automated the city labeling process, so I won't have to retype the city names for each new round.

I am gradually revealing more and more of my secrets in this pages - probably a few of others' secrets as well. Search the pages to find the changes. I try and update the site to account for updates (at round resets) made to the core of Ballerium as indicated by releasenotes.txt . Metclub won the round. It is funny. RefaelBA said Metclub would not ever have a significant effect on the outcome of this round. Even then I knew that the reality could change. My clan BOE was from the very beginning a newbie clan with starting members unfortunately having to be dropped due to inactivity to be replaced by other newbies. A few weeks into round Shepherd was basically DOW. He didn't drop any of the old-timers out of some idea of loyalty even though some were not seen after a few weeks into round. I will have a french translation of this site in a few weeks if all things go well. After that I will try a spanish translation - put those years of spanish classes to work. After that I will try out a language I don't know at all (few words doesn't count) and translate into that (one of these likely: Dutch, German, Russian or Chinese. I am not sure how to even write chinese characters at the moment, so hmm). I will not be playing to any significant extent for a number of months except to test things out and teach a few players. I will work on a weapon-dam-def-life eqn this round. I added a troubleshoot section.

I make numerous changes to this site often without mentioning them. Just because you have read something before, doesn't mean it will look the same again. According to Ricardo the database currently hold 7000 people and has a max of 10000 people. Due to this they need to do a major update and thus the round will end on February 27, 2008. They will be increasing the database limit in this update which will people to continue to join Ballerium. Around 30 I think are on at at time according to Ricardo and 200 people for the day. Around 100 people are registering each day and this is rising. I make numerous updates to this site often without making a mention of it. Sometimes I realize an error I made. Other times I add new stuff to it.

Ballerium Map page has been deleted and various other small edits have been made. Note this site is limited to 20 pages and 500MB download per month and also has a limit on the MB of the site content as well. In the future I may need to relocate this site as any kind of video hosting is not really feasible.
-Update: February 03, 2008
I've taken all the info in Ballerium Guide and put it in other sections, it will now be easier to find.
-Update: Jan 23, 2008
Information wise, I've nearly completed the site. I will now be working on reorganization of the existing information. The city list has locations. The karma list is complete. Weapon tables now have data related to nearly all unit types.
-Update: Jan 22, 2008
I've various updates to a number of the pages
-Update: Jan 21,2008
I added Mining Methods to the site.
-Update: Jan 18, 2008
Recently the ballerium server crashed yet again on Jan 16 2008. This is getting real old. Ok, now. I have done many updates and created many new pages and I am working on breaking apart my ballerium manual into many pieces. The skill formulas are complete, yeah. I have a city list that has the starting race for city. I have a weapon table and a karma list. Check out all my new goodies.

Ballerium server is having some problems. Some files got lost. Right now it is a complete reset with everyone having to start from the beginning. A partial rollback maybe possible if all goes well, if not a speed round with increase karma, mfu and other things with happen. I have updated my guide to include more karma to unit slots values. Also some new skill formulas have been added, although some may not be correct at higher skill levels. I probably won't update this site again till next year. If the round gets reset permanently, the monuments on the recent map won't be correct.

The two clans are growing in numbers. The DOW now consists of Shepherd, Prometheus, AthrunZala, Skunker, Ursa06, Talrose, and ChuCube. The Metropolis Club consists of Mike, Lynce, RISSON, avis, RefaelBA. Although TehBoxer has already used paypal, he still has not been seen and his clan does not exist. The DOW has the clear advantage, both in terms of city numbers, player numbers, and the time members play the game. I'm afraid the days of the MetClub are seriously numbered unless they get some serious help. I stand on the sidelines watching and waiting for some battle to erupt. I've gotten rid of the forums and added the section, Elena's Multies, which has some screenshots indicating the use of multies by Elena. Perhaps multies are the way Ballerium will go and thus maybe all should use multies to make it all fair. Such questions I cannot answer.
-Update: Dec 10, 2007
I know its been a while since my last update. Well I've begun adding the skill formulas; I have the new map finished - the old map is still left available for now - and a few other areas have been added to my guide. Click on Recent Map to see the new map with names, the coordinates aren't included, they will eventually be a reference. I will be working on a city name list with location coordinates beside it as a reference. I also will try to finish the skill formulas as soon as possible, any help I can get will expedite the process. Clans are now up. DOW is available for joining; it is run by Shepherd. If one combines the cities owned by Shepherd, AthrunZala, and Prometheus, the DOW, they own about 1/3 of the total cities on the map. Does the Metropolis Clan or Wu-Tang stand a chance? We shall see. The other two clans should be available soon. Clan membership is limited currently to 10 players per clan, so join as soon as you can to get your spot. The round is set to last about 2-3 months and it began sometime around November 12, 2007. Some think I should be starting a clan, however at the moment my primary concern is this guide and thus the future of Ballerium. The scarcity of information on Ballerium is set to end as I work to crack the science of Ballerium.

This is a crudely designed website at best, designed for the sole purpose of providing the opportunity to download the guide and map I wrote and designed. You can view the guide and print it if you like. Click on the Ballerium Guide link to view the Guide. Click on the Ballerium Map to view the map. Check out my Getting Started Section if you are new to Ballerium. Although the map is old, it has the locations of the cities. Now that the new Clan Domination Map is up, I will offering a new map with the city names and locations that include the new monuments within the next few days. They haven't fixed the ability to make clans, but that will eventually be a pivotal part of the game. Site will be updated regularly, so check back in. I've added the Forums so you can give suggestions, questions, and other whatnot. Enjoy. AwakenedOne
