The Facebook Gameroom is the app I think you're referring to. The Gameroom app states its dependency on Flash as well.
No, I'm referring to Plarium Play.
As for FB Gameroom, I know that Plarium still hasn't resolved it with FB, which is why there are no official news about it.

Is the gameroom app the onramp to the HTML5 highway or is it still too Flash heavy? Based on how Plarium responds to the voice of the customer. My money is 100% Flash based and just a nice Facebook Portal dedicated to harvesting your gaming/friends data.
Sorry, I've never had a FB acc, so I don't know anything about that one, except what Plarium tells me.

They will bet that people will start over from level 1. Historically, they have done just that.
As I said above, that would make no sense. Our havens data is on the servers, which are unaffected by the client's technology imminent death. The previous moves were from other servers (Yahoo's, Kabam's,...) and that's why havens data was an issue.
Btw, the last such transition preserved our havens successfully (these are s2 and s3 on the portal, and I'm one of the immigrants that came here from Kabam, so I know it worked).
No, the only question here is what kind of client will replace the one running on Flash in our browsers now. I would vote HTML5, but it's not like my vote counts for anything.
