Re: August security update

How is gameplay affected?

Pages load at most a few seconds slower for some people?

Same load speeds for me.

it doesnt look good for a start who wants to play a game where the writing looks like your on crack.

my internet is really quick normally and since this its taken for ever to load up the pages its really annoying

I load a page and I have to watch as everything loads down the screen. On my wireless net it takes twice as long. It's pathetic. I have honestly stopped wanting to play this game just because of this **Filtered**.

Re: August security update

Wow I didn't think my internet was this impressive but it seems like I'm the only one whose pages aren't loading slower... and I'm even using Chrome :o (pages load faster in Firefox).

Re: August security update

I use firefox, I am also on my schools net right now so it does run a bit faster. I don't know though...I am sure there is other ways to stop a scripter though. Just curious, was it just a font change that was done to stop scripters? What else was there?

Re: August security update

Text is so much better now :)

I have no complaints. No real noticeable loss in game function for me, no scriptors (for now anyway lmao), and reassurance admin is paying attention. Love it.

Re: August security update

This update makes the old school farmers really at home. the size words look more bigger then normal, and my loading page is more quicker then normal.

This will make the so call cheaters work for their naqs, keep the good work up admin team.

thanks admin.

Re: August security update

well i'm using my mobile phone as a router whilst i wait for my landline to be installed so yes i am noticing some lag with farming, it's not terrible, but it is definitely slow.

Get a lot more naq farming than i did before so it would appear that either a significant number of people were script-farming before or they are pissed about the slow speeds now and cannot get their hits in.

Remains to be seen if this is a good or bad thing for the game, obviously cheaters being stopped is good, but if the active player-base drops too much it will be a bad thing.

Just a shame the people who were blatantly scripting before didn't get banned.

Re: August security update

my internet slowed the first days, but now seems fine, i want 20k max turns back....

i sold 100m uu today.
went to raid it, realized i had only turns for 20m instead of 40 and having to reupp.

this getting someone to send me turns every 10k turns is annoying. i actually stopped playing for a few days, and only logged in to bank.

whats the point of logging on when i use my turns, then have to wait for people to send me more if i buy them, or someone is holding them for me.

albiet im making 10t a turn from my farmlist compared to the 4t i was making earlier, but the 10k turns only last me 4 turns of farming.

so WTH?

gimme my 20k turn capacity back. then gimme an extra 10 for dealing with this crap.

i spend more time now dealing with waiting for turns then i do playing the game.

anyone else feel like it should be that way, back to 20k turn capacity.
