Q1: I go to login and it says "Cannot connect to server, server may be down", and I cannot login anyway


A1: You are probably behind a firewall, which is configured in a way that prevents the game to connect to the game server. If that is the case, you have to do one of the followings in order to play the game:
- configure your firewall to enable port 4989, or ask your system administrator to do that,
- play from another machine, which is in a less restricted environment,

Q2: There is only grey screen after the advertisements
A2: On some configurations the system loads the entire code and data again (second time), so in that case it takes significant time until the grey screen disappears.

Q3: It never loads up the game, instead there is a circle, triangle and rectangle in the top left corner.


A3: You don't have Java installed on your computer.
You need to install Java if you want to play - you probably have Windows XP and that does not include Java by default.
Download and install this Java setup.

Q4: It says "client version mismatch" and to clear my browser cache (i don't know what cache means so could you please tell me)

A4: Please check your date & time settings first, if this is correct (check also if the year is right!), then try to clear your browser's cache in the following way (it might contain outdated game pages that were refreshed in the meantime):
In Internet Explorer, go to Tools | Internet Options then on the General tab | Temporary Internet Files section, press the Delete Files button. Check Delete All Offline Content and press OK.

This should clear your browser's cache. Restart your computer after finished.
If this doesn't help then please your nickname and we check what might be wrong.
