I played a lot of Earth 2025 (and utopia) in high school (early 2000's) until the bonus turns got more and more scammy. Then it was gone and I recently heard about this.

From what I hear the best way to learn and get re-aquainted is in an alliance. I was wondering if any were accomodating of people who didn't get any alliance experience in Earth 2025, as I mostly played Tournament.
