If you are having lag, I assume you are not using Google Chrome but Mozilla Firefox. Try playing again with Google Chrome and ensure that flash player is updated. I had the same problems with Firefox and after I tried it with Google Chrome the experience was much more smoother.
Ah, yes; I am using Firefox (in fact, I don't even have Chrome installed anymore - I tried it maybe a year ago, but its mandatory updates, that I didn't know how to turn off, were starting to annoy me, so I got rid of it
).But anyway, my net does legitimately suck: having a ping over 200 or 300 ms isn't unusual, unfortunately, so I may not be able to do anything about the lag. However, I suppose Chrome's javascript interpreter might, at least, make the experience a bit smoother (by the way, the game doesn't actually use flash, right? Isn't it all/mostly javascript on the client side?).
Yes, the game doesn't seem to be using flash, it seems it's all JavaScript, in any case Google Chrome runs so much better. The game has great potential, and i can play it decently in Chrome + ping 65, ping 200 or 300 is overkill in ANY online game, good ping is 5-30, decent is 35- 65, playable is 65-95, 3 figures of ping and you start with the obvious delays.
