    What is 7kplay.net?

    7kplay is a X-Com multiplayer gaming site made by X-Com enthousiasts. At 7kplay we play the X-Com multiplayer game UFO2000, a free open source game based on X-Com: UFO defence and X-Com: Terror From The Deep.

    7kplay is an active X-Com gamers community which organises UFO2000 tournaments and play large X-Com alien vs human wars.


    What does 7k stand for?

    7k stands for a specific set of rules for the multiplayer game UFO2000. The rules were created to take full use of the tactical and strategical potential of this turn-based strategy game. The standard rules were created by top strategy game players, including former single player ladder nr 1s from WarCraft III. However, a tournament can also have tournament specific rules. Like the Ntleth Shootout where 2 players with only 7 sectoids carieing laser pistols and smoke bombs duel for the tourney win. If you have a great idea for a tournament, explain it in the forum and maybe your rules set gets played an an official 7k_Tournament!

    7k rules also include a specific behavioral code. Ever since i-gaming, bad behaviour of competition players has flooded the gaming world. To keep gaming fun for all, a behavioural code was written.

    7kplay keeps track of your gaming statistics in the leaderboard. Winning tournaments and/or becoming a WAR hero gains you 7k points, medals and ranks. The seasons top leaderboard player even wins a grand prize. Each new season starts at 01-02.

    7kplay stands for helping other players become proficiant players. No 7k soldier likes to win a game without the opponent having a chance! Therefore strategical and tactical help is availible on the 7k site, the forums or by 7k soldiers online.

    7kplay has a forum and a chat to help players keep in touch with eachother. You do not have to be a 7k_Soldier to use the chat, anyone can.

    7k rules are perfect for UFO2000 tournament play. The low luck factor makes it possible that the best, most versatile tactical and strategical player, reaches the number 1 spot of the leaderboard!

    "Do you think you have it in you to become a 7k_soldier? Or maybe even a commander??"


    What is 7k ladder play and how can I join?

    Anyone can join the 7k ladder. Simply play a game online according to the 7k regular rules. The winner of the match should claim the win with the site button "Claim Battle Victory" in the nav bar, follow instructions there. Thats it! Once a captain or higher ranked player approves your match it is added to your score. There are tournaments on 7kplay which have special rules and special scoring bonusses. Special rules always override regular rules when set. The tournament and 1v1 play scores are added-up to form the 7k Ladder Ranking. The highest ranked player of 7kplay will win the 7k ladder and the 15 dollar/euro STEAM gift-of-game prize!!!

    Here are the rules for regular 7kplay:

    What is the WAR?

    The WAR is a REAL TIME variant of the x-com 1 & 2 series. It is a massive multiplayer variant where we use this 7kplay.net site as the geoscape and baseview part of the game and UFO2000 as the battle view. Just like in the original game we have a story which is written by *7k* Colonels. We start out with weak weapons and armour and as the story progresses things improve for the races. Of course this is depending on the succes of the battles the races have.

    War phases:
    The WAR is divided into phases. Each phase is about 2 weeks. After each phase a winning team is declared. The winning team gets the best improvements for the next phase. Losing a phase can also mean you have to play next phase with penalties. For example: Winning a phase means you can use a new weapon next phase and 4000 points to spend on weaponry/armour and the loser would have to play next phase with only 3000 points. As you can imagine, the outcome of the phases also influances the story.

    Phase Objectives:
    Each phase is divided in some mission objectives. You can view the mission objectives in the Mission Control facility on your race's bace. A phase can have primary, secondary or even tertiary objectives. Each mission objective can have a different set of rules or different location. Each mission will influance the story at a different way. Some missions can only be played by certain players. Each objective is won by the team with the highest score.

    Scoring points for your team:
    The team with the best battle results of an objective wins the objective. The team which wins the primary mission which can be played by all players wins the phase. Every battle has to be reported to the base command by the winner and the match score is automaticly calculated and added to the team score. You can claim those scores in your race's mainbase in the WAR tab which appears only when you join the WAR and select a race.

    Personal score: Gaining CREDITS:
    When you claim a win for your team you also claim a win for yourself. Every win you claim you gain CREDITS. There are more ways to gain CREDITS like becoming the phases best player with the most wins of your team. CREDITS can be spend in the CREDIT shops. CREDITS allow you to buy special perks and equipment for your matches to try and get you an advantage. You can acces the FI-SHOPS by visiting the shops in your base.

    FI-SHOPS (Fiction Internet-Shops): Spending CREDITS:
    In the shops you can buy a variaty of products to aid you in your battles. Some perks allow you to open up more product within a shop or open up new shops or facilities on your base. Like the INTERSTELLAR CREDIT BANK which opens up the banking facility. In MERCENARY shops you can even buy an extra unit for your team. How this works you can also find out in the FI-SHOPS.

    Am I good enough to play the WAR??
    Everyone is good enough to play in the WAR, even if you have just started out!! The WAR takes in account the battle strength of players. This means there is a special player dependant scoring bonusses/deductions system. Basicly it means that a super-human player who wins from a new player only gains him 1 point for the WAR whereas a win against another Super-Human player would've gained him 4 points. This means losing for a new player doesnt influance the scores as much as a super-human player. So you can play as much in the WAR as you like. Should the new player win of the Super-Human his team does gets the full 4 points. The playing strength calculated is your 7k rank. Furthermore al new/beginning players get a special helper in the battles they play. An extra unit to strenghten his team. A special team specific mercenary will join your team. You can find out al about this free mercenary in the FI-SHOPS facility of your base. If you gain a rank in the WAR all further scoring is adjusted automaticly.

    How can i Join?
    Well you've just read all you need to know in the WAR! You can join the WAR by selecting which side you want to play on! Once you select your race you are in! Be sure to read the full story about the first WAR and the intro story of WAR II to help you select your race. Off course, you can only play the WAR when the WAR is on! Check the calendar for this.
