edgebee.com itself is down (3 june 2011), this is not a kongregate problem if you see "Your server is out of sync and needs to be restarted."

*restart* *restart* *restart*.....*restart* *restart*
I'd go play some other game, but the second I do I KNOW the server will start working!
*restart* *restart*
It's like they DON'T want us to play their game.

Godammit, damn server :@ Whenever it comes up with that little loading bar, instead of getting a green tick, I get a red x :@ Now I can't even play the game, it says 'Kongregate Login' and I get the red x :@ When are Kongregate gonna sort this out?

OK 6 hours in a row of server down/disconnects every game day sucks bad. That will be back up eventually when they upgrade/get 2 worlds/enough people quit. Then maybe they can give the game SOME DOCUMENTATION!!!

"Your game client is out of synch with the server and must be restarted"... After 5 restarts I'm beginning to think it's the server that is out of synch, not anything on my end!

this game is so stupid . it just have no sense . u upgrade your shop and reach better recipes with your research , and ppl keep coming in asking for something u doesnt have yet . this is soooo retarded
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Take out the token system: 1 star. At least move all of the token recipes to a token shop. I dont care if you want to offer amazing recipes for real money, but don't rub them in everyones faces.
Take out the guild system: 1 star. Lots of gamers are anti-social and prefer to do things alone. If you insist on the labor units system, remove that from the workshop additions and allow people to use their own workers for the upgrades.
Take out the day system: 1 star. On kongrgate, I'm looking for something to play for a couple hours every few days when I'm bored. At least take out the cap so i can save up my days and actually play for a reasonable amount of time in one sitting.
Last star: an option to turn off browsing customers and customers looking to sell you things. Browsing customers do nothing and Ive not once made a profit off reselling something Ive bought. These people might make the game seem more realistic, but I prefer fun over realism and both are really just frustrating.

Vials of healing are items accepted by everyone, which is why the chance on them doesn't really change. If you suggest other items that are around what they would want, you should see the % go up though.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
unless it gets harder to suggest items like vial of healing as you progress, I get the feeling that my levels in haggling aren't being included. I've seen chances of high teens to low twenties, which is what I was getting before I had 11 in haggling.

5/5. 30 mins per day's wait makes this game a great casual gaming experience. I have a feeling that without the wait, I'd end up getting sick of the repetitiveness (yes it's officially a word now) in a couple of days. The guild forces you to interact with other players, and makes the other upgrades a much more satisfying experience, and the '3 steps forward, 2 steps back' forces you to plan your budget carefully. I love it!

Please read these comments. Everyone is literally saying the same thing over and over again.
Pay-to-play is forced, no day limit, use some advertising if you are that desperate for money. This has the makings of a great game so please take note of what every single person who plays is saying.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
great game overall, with a few problems!
First of all, the money problem everyone talks about!
Second, the time limitation, having to w8 30 min to play 1 game day, it turns players away!
Third, the guild system, the daily guild tax should be controlled by the guild leader, and should go to a guild bank in order to be used to buy guild upgrades and bonuses, the way it is now is completely stupid and makes the act of belonging to a guild quite unbearable!
please fix this things and I will rate the game 5 stars, until then 2.5 stars

after some days people will ask only for stuff you don't have and this is just made because if you want to go further in game you have to pay. this game could be nice but not enough to get money from me, so I'm out.

stupid day limit. i don't see any point in giving a limitation on the amount we play, the only thing that does to gamers is stop them from playing the game and lower the amount of income you make.

Thug: You've got a nice shop, it would be a shame if someone came and vandalized it. How about you give me 2000 gold pieces and I'll make sure it stays nice?
Me: Sure, come back tomorrow :)
Thug: Alright :/
(next day)
Thug: I'm back. 2000 Gs?
Me: Come back tomorrow.
Thug: :(
(next day)
Thug: Um, can I have my 2000 now?
Me: Sure!
Thug: Really? :D
Me: Just kidding! Come back tomorrow.
Thug: :'(
Me: >:D

How many of you make games? If you make games, and know how time-consuming and difficult it can be to fix bugs, then go ahead and complain. For those who have no idea what they're talking about, please cut the developer some slack, k?

Is this game timing out to force me to refresh so that I have to watch this unskippable Dell Computer ad again and again? Is this another way that this begger of a dev. is making money?
This game is solid. If it were free/donation-based, it would be absolutely EPIC. Sad that people ruin their own games.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
you guys need to upgrade it and get rid of the inactivity time and you need to make it so you don't have to refresh so much

10 people come an ask for the same item, I think "Guess I should research that" research finishes... nobody asks for that item anymore, rinse, repeat.

Calculations come out at 3 hours for 6 days. That means you can play multiple times per day if you stay aware of the time. Its a good system if they don't want you to get tired of their game.

Making money in this game becomes a war of attrition. Craftsmen take forever to learn/make the things that make the money. Nobody pays market prices. 3 steps forward, 2 steps back. Constantly.

Very good game however the day caps make it very annoying, my recommendation is to change it from 30 minutes to 15 minutes. + to keep this comment alive

Kevin, read the news on edgebee.com, and you'll see that this is not the first time they have this kind of problems.
It is badly coded: If they just added an "ok" button to the waiting-for-crappy-server button, that is greyed out until the data has been sent, you would not have to wait before that stupid window to click on something to avoid losing a day worth of customers. With a confirmation button, you could browse, read, lay another small game while waiting.

First the waiting for the dayslimit, now the waiting for the server. This is only a game for people with a looooot of time...

Server response is crapped again, at least in Europe. Why dont you change to some decent hoster? Kick slicehost and cogent.

whats with all the hate? really though if you like the game play if you don't move on. you aren't offering any advice the developers haven't already considered. you can get along just fine without paying for anything. you may not be the best or have the best items but you can be a fairly good merchant if you manage your time and workers well. the time limit isn't that bad further on in the game as you manage more workers, offers, and items. unless of course you play 24/7 and if you do, maybe you should pay a little extra.

At least, I get some Ideas for when I go to the store and the sales guy comes up to me, then I say, "my brother once saw an elf". lol.

Not a good game if you're looking to play constantly, but great if you just would like to get on every 3 hours or so.

Wow... my session timed out. I waited too long? Why did I wait so long?
BECAUSE THERE'S A 30 MINUTE LAG BETWEEN BEING ABLE TO PLAY THIS STUPID FARKING GAME FOR 3 MINUTES!!!!
