How to quickly reply to private messages
May 15, 2012 | 76 Comments
You may now use a cool little trick: When someone private talks to you, you can use the /r to automatically reply to the last person that private messaged you.
example:
/r -> automatically selects the last person who sent you a private message
Hi my friend!
Hope this helps!!

Our beloved online moderators
May 9, 2012 | 148 Comments
Hello everyone,
Just a quick message to everyone about moderators. I have been getting many emails about moderators being mean, not answering your questions, not following up on your player reports, etc.
I need to make a few things clear:
- Moderators are players. They have the right, just as any of you, to have fun and to enjoy the game. They cannot be expected to be always on duty.
- They will not investigate every little player misbehaviours in the game. They are not “bad player” hunters. I trust their judgement to interfere when there’s a serious rules violation from a player. Trivial matters should be simply handled by the players, by using the block button.
- Mods gets many questions, from many people and often at the same time. They do not ignore you, they just can’t answer everyone and do everything at the same time. Make sure to read the website’s FAQ, Help contents. Often the common questions are already answered there.
- Remember to respect moderators. If you’re looking for trouble with them, they have the right to suspend you.
- Finally, remember that moderators are simply players with a special permission to take action on those not following the rules.
Remember this is just a game

Hello everyone, there’s currently a problem with the list of online players. I’m working on it and I estimate to get it fixed in the evening (EST). In the meantime I’ll keep the server running, but I may have to restart it frequently.
Sorry about it!

Random disconnects
April 21, 2012 | 90 Comments
Hello everyone, I believe I may have fix the problem with the random disconnects. If you have a bad connection, it will automatically attempt to reconnect, which is all invisible to you while you play.
Also I have improved the messages shown when you get disconnected. You can get disconnected for the following reasons:
- Inactivity: If you do not use the game (away from the computer or game) for a few minutes, you will get disconnected
- Suspension: If you get suspended for not respecting a rule, you will get disconnected
- Bad Internet Connection: If you use an unstable internet connection (most likely if you live very far away from Canada, where the server is located), the updated auto-reconnect should help you to keep playing, or will disconnect after a few tries.
- Computer Internet down: If the Wifi doesn’t reach or you unplug the ethernet cable from your computer, you will obviously get disconnected.
- Server restart: If the server is getting restarted for an update/maintenance, you will get disconnected until the server is back online.
Please let me know if you still experience disconnects that are not listed above.
Thanks!
