Why I quit Hyperiums

Hyperiums is a fun game, but can become very frustrating. When I started playing Hyperiums some time ago, I was asked by another player to join the alliance he was in. I applied for membership and was accepted a few days later. Everything was fine until I found out that the whole alliance was going to move to another part of space soon. So I had to join the exodus and my small fleet of destroyers loaded with some troops made its way our alliance’s new core. There I claimed some neutral planets and hoped I could finally settle down. Then I made a grave mistake: I forgot to check Hyperiums for two days in a row and was shocked to see, that a) my two new planets have been taken by an unknown force, b) my alliance has not helped my forces defending these planets, c) my alliance has decided to join another alliance and/or leave for another supercluster. So I was again were I started. All the trouble was for nothing. I was frustrated. And so I quit.
Perhaps I will give it another try at some other time, but for now I think I will try another browser game instead.
