The game starts out fun, but ends up very tedious. I'm tired of building the same 6 copper mines EVERY DAY for a week in order to have the resources to go on a single adventure. Of course I could pay (with real $) for ones that are permanent... The recent grey screen issues (can't connect to game) that last a day or two at a time are the final straw. Maybe I'll dig out Settlers 3. It was much better.
