I have been playing for a while and have not said to much about how the game is going, but it seems to me that with every update it has been getting harder to play because of more lag and freeze ups. I noticed that other players are having the same problems. I am playing on i-pad 1 and it is getting imposable to play any more. I have had a good time here and with good players but am thinking of finding another game.. thank you

Its just the way this game has evolved over the years.The emphasis always on graphics and the quest for better with each update.
Personally I'm surprised an ipad1 can even load the game with only 256mb of RAM even an iPad2 only has 512mb which android struggle to cope with.
I'm now trying a fourth android as the others in turn have been made non compatible with the updates.
I have always been in favour of gameplay over graphics but its not the way Z seems to see it.
Unfortunately for the iPa1 users its time to think about a change.

I'm playing on Comodore 64.... Works great... Arms are getting bigger too...

Yes J4FF i think you are right about i-pad 1 but a lot of the players cannot afford to buy new i-pads just to play this game. I guess they are making enough money without us so it does not matter if a lot of player quite the game.

My Samsung Galaxy S1 runs the game fine... The main menu is screwy, but only in that it screws up the background... But that doesn't make anything inaccessible...

And my phone is loaded up with big games, so if iPads and Galaxy S3s are having trouble with lag and what not, my phone should literally explode.

I don't know, maybe I'm just lucky. Or maybe my phone is the little outdated phone that could.

server gets full and its lagging. why are graphics so important when the phones cant handle them? i mean it would be cool to have excelent graphics and excelent performance, but its impossible for most phones. its like having a nice ferrari with a broken transmission and not having to fix it.

performance is always better, like whats the point of playing a game that looks nice but cant really play?
theyre probally just trying to make more money out of it
