I would only risk installing plarium play on an old laptop which was reformatted, held no data and was used for nothing but the game.  No chance of me installing a plarium product on my newer laptop or PC.  So I will more than likely trash all my troops at the end of the year when no tournaments are on and be gone. I'm not really interested in the game anymore anyway.

I've read various complaints of plarium play not starting up on here and even a round of virus claims, which was fobbed off as an antivirus fault. I would only believe that if all complaints were using same version of antivirus.

The most complaints of WebGL were  the people thrown into test phase. When everyone got onto it graphics were not so sharp but for me it ran ok, no long loading, less lag.  I felt that WebGL was'nt too bad at the point when it was canned, but maybe plarium devs were out of their depth with it and they needed an easier option.

The flash version of the game has always been badly optimised, even with gaming computers it fires up your cpu over 80% and puts your fans into overdrive like you're playing a FPS game with detailed scenery.

On this thread, comm manager states "If you prefer to continue playing on browser, we're in the process of evaluating two different solutions"

There's not much time left till flash expire and we hear nothing more about solutions, yet WebGL had plenty of player testing. Care to elaborate on the two solutions mentioned in thread above, plarium staff?

Also, what permissions and access to your computer does Plarium play require, does anyone bother to check that when they install it?

Hello, spartans.

As you said before, Flash is coming to an end and Plarium told us thought our Community Manager that they are working on a solution, but still we don´t know-how is going to be implemented.

It´s a matter of trust and faith, I understand that the company doesn´t want to release any data before they smooth the process for us the best they can. Making an early change in a stage when things are still developing... well, that´s not going to work.

Me, I´m looking forward to see the changes. They told us we are going to experience some differences, and I´m really curious!

A while back I left this game running while I was downloading at same time and I left computer for a few hours.  When i return this game had caused memory crash which put SSD into permanent error loop. Even removing drive it could not be accessed externally, so data lost and new drive required!

Not forgetting the shambles of webGL, all that wasted resource and time then can it at it's best state and take step back to the badly optimised flash.

So zero chance of me installing plarium play or any other 3rd party launcher.  I have no faith and no trust in plarium.

I can only laugh at this statement! Because Plarium told us for weeks they will continue using flash player for their useless app! And above all I do not use facebook, another unbearable social spyware! How naive can anybody be to believe Plarium? They had a long time to improve game and get a solution! But the only thing they change is to open more and more windows to make players to buy any useless things! And they are useless, because game will not run anymore soon! This is a matter of fact - not promises that never have come true till now!

You cancelled a game on kongregate when it was not making enough profit to sustain costs, same will happen here.  Would have thought end of flash would be good excuse to fire the final torpedo into sinking ship sparta.
