This thread discusses the Content article: Ballerium Community Update in Progress

The Ballerium website has been taken down for an upgrade to allow sub­script­ions and new membership features. This move to enhance the community interface means servers will be down at some point to finalise - leading to a new round.

The Ballerium site states that the game will remain Free to play but a 'commercial service plan' will allow players to gain extra benefits in game for a sub­script­ion fee. Previous donators will receive a discount via an email soon.

Paying customers will receive benefits including

* Extra Karma (allowing you to control more units and use your special powers more often)
* Ability to create a clan
* Access to special character the Kablaz
* Ability to control more cities
* Increase community points much faster
* Change your hero name


The changes are only meant to take a few days and the team there ask for players to return to check regulary.
