  cant agree more 

  Just back from a lengthy delay for maintenance and you got it the meter jumping all over cost me a very expensive ball ,,, just typical of the way this site is now maintained !!

  Maybe the maintenance had nothing to do with any software upgrade! it may have been flooding caused by a leaky John in your wash rooms! therefore I suggest you send your software engineers in to try and rectify as they my prove a little more successful at this then what you pay them for

  Why don't you create a test group of actual players and allow them access to the version of the game with the latest update BEFORE you release it and head these issues off?

   It's pretty obvious the latest update fouled up some stuff and you're scrambling to get it right but that's what happens when you blow the update install and let the players tell you, invariably with a good dose of frustration. This is getting old.

  LMFAO @ QA team - are they monkeys?

  And I agree Jim, and has been said many times, a test group of players who could test the releases prior to going live is not difficult via a log on to the test release to uncover the issues.

  Downside is possibly nothing would ever get released then (loss of potential revenue) as these programmers and so called QA team are incompetent.

  No not incompetent, It is more like they are putting too much work into both mobile versions and not nearly enough work on the web version.

  How long before mobile platforms outnumber computers? I suspect they already do.  :-)

  Failing to test/troubleshoot an update before releasing it is incompetent.

  Inability to fix a problem with multiplayer games that's due to a glitch in "low-level code" (the explanation given) is incompetent.

  Neglecting to keep the flagship afloat (the web version) is incompetent.

  edit: YJ makes an interesting point.  If the company's thrust is toward implementing the mobile version, I can see them letting the web version die without so much as a pang of regret, or notice to long-suffering customers.
