Game Suggestions & Ideas / I think it's time to remove the play game tab.
« on: March 13, 2020, 02:31:26 am »I think it's time for the "Play Game" tab to go. The hacking incident was not only a long time ago, but occurred at a time when the community was incredibly toxic. The community has became smaller and quieter, and the social conditions that allowed for the hacking incident to occur are no longer present.
Ever since the implementation of the tab, I've been getting connection issues. For example, back in 2015, I used to play FH in-between classes at university- the day the tab was implemented, I no longer could, and was only able to play FH at home. My home WiFi was recently reset, and now I can't play FH at home either- not on my laptop or on my desktop PC, which has been my main device for playing FH for 8 years. I can login, but can't get past the character selection screen- I'm met with a "failed to connect to map server" error. (Edit: I got it to work, but it doesn't change the fact that the tab isn't friendly towards players who don't have the right WiFi)
The tab may have been important at the time of the hacking, but it was at the cost of making the game unplayable for a lot of people, and it should've been a temporary measure- not a permanent feature.
