Using the latest version of Firefox, this is what happens...
1. It loads up and I'm on the casino floor with some slot machines, blackjack, poker etc. I assume I'm the character that's just standing solo in the room (woman in yellow), so I try to move. This does nothing.
2. I mouseover the games, and they say play slots, or play poker, so I click them, and nothing happens.
3. A box appears in the top left saying create character. I click that, and an error flickers saying the connection was lost.
4. Instantly I'm forwarded to a page that looks like an advertisement for the game, with a big button to play now.
5. Before I can do anything, it forwards to the original loading screen, and I'm back to number one in the casino room.
Chrome...
1. It loads and I actually see other players and their names in the casino room.
2. Similar to above, the buttons do nothing, and should at least have a popup asking me to register.
3. The create character button doesn't display an error, but forwards me to the game advertisement, and then loops back into the game like Firefox before I can click anything.
In both browsers I'm in an endless loop. You should really consider letting the user play for 5 minutes or 10 minutes without needing to register, and then once they're hooked, prompt them to register to continue.
Thanks, looks like there's an error in the guest view from a recent update, should have the updated soon. As to the looping you are referring to, that one is stumping me at the moment as none of us here are able to get that behavior to happen. Still digging...
Edit: Okay, the bug with clicking on things not working is fixed, still haven't been able to reproduce this looping issue.
Thanks, I'm in now. I used Chrome, and during the loop, I clicked the create a goldfire account button before it automatically forwarded. Then I created an account, and it gave me the option to select one of three games. I selected the casino game, and it loaded and went back to square one, in the casino room, with the create character button. I clicked that button and went into the loop again, clicked the goldfire button once more, and then it loaded the game and I was suddenly logged in.
I played around for 20 minutes, but I don't think I'll return. It's clear a lot of time and effort went into this game. It's missing the two most important things I enjoy in a game though, it needs to be fun, and it needs to be simple. I'm likely not your target user though, since I've never been too involved in online casino games. Congrats though, I'm impressed at how much is built into this game, and how much you achieved here.
Sorry you had to go through all of those hoops, had never seen that issue or had it reported before. I think I've found the problem and fixed it now anyway. Our early player flow certainly has some issues that we are putting a lot of work into redoing right now (mainly it takes too long to get into the meat of the game). If you don't enjoy casino games then true, you probably wouldn't enjoy the early gameplay. Thanks for the feedback, we really appreciate it!
