@blackflames and you skipped over when I mentioned:

"Every different person has their own forte's in life...being techy for example is not one of mine...(this is where it gets personal). I may have stellar knowledge on how to use/run multifaceted and mega amounts of programs and may be computer literate, but the intricacy of  "computer technology" with me is Zero. "

and

 "I do however hold many different things that I am accomplished for ...but as far as computer technology is concerned...nope, not me and that's my choice."

Let me add something to these comments that I previously posted, its not just a "choice"....           I have come to realize that no matter how many tutorials I view, friends that I ask, research and read about computer technology....sadly, I just don't get it....its beyond my comprehension.

Yes, granted I am a literate person, and I'll even go on as far as saying that I'm smarter than the average bear,...( lol ) however....when it comes to computer techy type stuff, I am like a sieve....it just goes right thru me and I am left dumbfounded and even more confused than ever...

So my choice ( even if it may sound weak, or like a cop-out, or whatever) is just to leave that alone and stick to ALLLLL of my forte's and virtues in life....things I'd rather stick to, and even teach people about....

I humbly hope that you understand this time around what I am referring to....

So you are saying that if a person has access to the internet they have no way of improving themselves by using services readily available to them such as fiver where you post your skills and accept requests to be paid? Every person has a set of skills niche or not. As i have said in the previous post, the internet allows for easy access for anybody that can get onto it the ability to learn and acquire skills for the cheapest it has ever been. Will not help each individual person understand just how grand the internet can be for them.
----------
here are a couple example of how a person can use the internet to better themselves financially -

A person that is interested in drawing with decent skills/novice level. Go to youtube and look up techniques and ways to improve while posting on sites your services which would be drawing a specific thing you are best at and as you learn more post the new skills acquired. People that see your work will be interested and if its the right price they will pay for a piece of it to be custom made for them. 

Drawing is only scratching the surface, cant physically draw or do not want to draw? Then there are other options such as tutoring a subject you are knowledgeable in. Researching the topics you are interested in then finding credible sources to obtain information from to confirm its accuracy. 

Something i see a fair amount starting to do is designing and selling shirts through a company they contact where they take a portion of profits while not hosting or doing much of anything except providing the templates for what they want it to look like. 

Creating websites for people, can be learned also from youtube and other websites online that you can then post and sell that service to companies. Can call local businesses that do not have a site or have an outdated one and offer to improve the design for a cost. This is a more advanced one but not by much in terms of how long it takes to learn. Would take the same amount of time to learn this as it does a subject for tutoring... but tutoring a subject has the pro of already learning the required information through your life so far so you dont need to put much more effort into learning whats already known.
----------
from your post - 
 "could be handicapped in some way.. illnesses which keep them home bound "

to discuss this part, if a person is bound 100% to the bed and cannot do anything i would ask them why would they want to put the game above their own well being? At this point how would they even be able to play the game at all? this is too open ended with too many variables and ways to interpret. i find saying that a person that is unable to anything a bit mute as they should not be caring about a game. Ive known and had a few close friends or people around me pass and when they get to that true disabled state the last thing on their mind is wanting to play a game. However i cannot say much as there is not enough details to go off of and seems more like a ploy on emotions rather than a counter to the points i have previously stated and now expanded upon a bit more above in this post.

----------
Any person that has access to the internet has near limitless opportunity if they are willing to put in the work and effort. If a person fails the first time at trying to make money, step back, evaluate the work that was done. After evaluating what was done try to find a different way to go about it or try again. Failure is a necessary step for success.

Lack of motivation ≠ helplessness
If a person does not want to look for ways to better themselves financially when they are living on literal scraps then they have no right to complain. Every person has struggles in life, it just depends how one grows and overcomes them that matters. 

Ill leave this here as it seems its not being read... even though i bolded the important part. I am not blaming these people, it may or may not be their fault i honestly dont know as its a per person basis. - 
 If a person literally cannot amass 100 dollars extra by the time the games flash version is not supported they have a financial problem. Is it their fault? Cannot say, too many factors to consider and its a per person basis.

----------

THIS ABOVE IS A PERFECTLY CRYSTAL CLEAR EXAMPLE OF A CRASS & LUDICROUS MINDSET !....smh...some people just don't get it. tsk,.tsk,.tsk,...

Whilst a pretty civil and valid debate in itself, please can the discussions of whether people's life situations should allow them to spend money on better gaming gear or not be kept in another thread somewhere. We've done a pretty good job I think of compiling a very large list of bugs, issues and problems, and will continue to try to do so, but it would be great if this thread could be kept on topic with the actual HTML5 switch issues themselves

that problem came after there was that bug offer.

This is a nightmare !  I have been using a chrome browser so I thought I should have no problem. A few weeks ago I was unable to get to my account. I have asked for help.  I can sometimes get to my account and see my castle but it disconnects and says my own account belongs to somebody else- I have always had the same name and account.  I have been playing for three years and was on level 70 but I keep ending back at level 1 and the system does not recognize me.  I have changed password and have erased history but with no improvement. 

This is getting ridiculous - after playing the game for years I should not have to start over.

I just freaking scrolled through 11 pages of this annoying as forum. WHY DON'T Y'ALL HAVE THREADED COMMENTS??!

I was looking for my comment. I helped out some people who couldn't afford a new computer and told them how they can run Empire. I either couldn't find it or you guys deleted it.

Goodgame Studios knows your main audience are the elderly. You haven't explained enough and without threaded comments, we can't really help others. And to be honest I feel like the only Gen Z person who plays this game but that's more of a personal issue.

In addition to not having threaded comments, replying to people with facts and understanding, you also haven't been developing well. I wonder what that spaghetti code looks like. I and many others appreciate you not giving up on Empire and instead transitioning to HTML5 so we can still play the game.
