I also am a newbie, at least to slashkey. I am having problems lately with my game losing its connection to the server or my connection has timed out. I do know that I was on WF40. My browser is explorer, I access the game through Facebook, I updated my Adobe Flash, it is now at 10, but I do not know my internet speed (I just know that it hovers between low and good). This is, without a doubt, my favorite game and I wish I could spend more time on it, it just keeps kicking me off. Please help me.
