In a world where 3D games with high-end graphics dominate the market, it seems counter intuitive to go to a grassroots 2D game. Then again, when you're looking for a game that is easy to learn, competitive and requires real skill; where you don't have to grind your way to success or schedule the game in your every day life doings, a 2D game may be just what you're looking for.

DSB can be played from nearly any computer, and is for both hardcore, as well as casual gamers. This game will not compare graphically to more modern games, but that is exactly the point. The focus is more on skill based game play, and community, rather than flashy graphics or gimmicks.

You don't need to invest hours of your life leveling, or hundreds of dollars upgrading your computer with the latest and greatest hardware. The type of skill required for this game is unique in a league of its own. There is no grinding, and always something new to do--from the standard game, to events such as capture the flag, racing, dueling, league play, and much, much more! If you can get past the dated graphics, you will find an ever expanding universe with something for everyone. Whether you want to play for 5 minutes or 5 days, Death Star Battle has what you are looking for.

Server Offline - 15.04.2008

On Wednesday, 16 April 2008, at 0200GMT the DSB server will go offline. The server will go offline for about four hours (give or take). Therefore, it should be back online at around 0600GMT.

The reason for the server temporarily being taken offline is that it needs to undergo necessary maintenance work.

I appreciate your patience during this period of downtime and hope you all will return to DSB once this necessary maintenance work is completed.

Cheers,

Hoch

To whom it may concern,

Some might know what it takes to create a functional and effective website, and some might not. The basic concept consists of creating both a front end (i.e. a template for how the website will look), and a back end (i.e. the code that makes the site functional).

At this point www.deathstarbattle.com has a new template; however, the code or, “backend” has yet to meet completion. Irrespective, the new template will find its new home on deathstarbattle’s domain before the end of the day.

Ode to the skeptics;

Eons have you waited for this news

As you walked long miles, in tattered shoes

The day has come, but you won't believe

Like Duke Nuk'em Forever, this can't succeed

But from the darkness there is a light

Perhaps we all can cease this fight

For today it shall rise, like silent ghouls

This is not a mere April Fools
