Hmm...never knew that. I registered about 2 months before the last Dday...does the game re-newbify us on a new round?

First, I think there should be a rank system of some sort. Why? Because my next suggestion is for...

Alliance interactive missions. Only people above a certain rank can initiate one and make decisions in them. Once it begins, all members of the alliance can access the mission from the alliance page. To progress the mission, a certain amount of enemy fleet power, x, has to be destroyed. To make this require teamwork of some sort, alliances with power over y cannot have one single member destroy more than x/z% of the power. x=Amount of enemy fleet power that needs destroying, depending on alliance power and selected difficulty of mission. y=a certain amount of alliance power above which solo/dual killing the enemies is unavailable. z=a number that rises as the number of members in the alliance does, say alliance members/6 or 7?

So lets say the alliance 50mil power is attempting a mission named 20mil power with 12 members in the alliance.
If 40mil is y, then each member cannot destroy more than 10 mil power(20/(12/6)=10).

To make it fair, lets say only one interactive alliance mission can be done at once and only a certain number can be attempted each day.

Rate suggestion on the concept, NOT THE NUMBERS! I know they're way off.

After doomsday was over, I logged in to find myself with a gold account. Please take it away before you decide I'm abusing some bug and hit me with the banhammer. 

I'm having the same problem, tried everything(not much to try really) and still can't get in. My account details have already been sent to you, Emi.
