Using the latest version of Firefox, this is what happens...

1. It loads up and I'm on the casino floor with some slot machines, blackjack, poker etc. I assume I'm the character that's just standing solo in the room (woman in yellow), so I try to move. This does nothing.

2. I mouseover the games, and they say play slots, or play poker, so I click them, and nothing happens.

3. A box appears in the top left saying create character. I click that, and an error flickers saying the connection was lost.

4. Instantly I'm forwarded to a page that looks like an advertisement for the game, with a big button to play now.

5. Before I can do anything, it forwards to the original loading screen, and I'm back to number one in the casino room.

Chrome...

1. It loads and I actually see other players and their names in the casino room.

2. Similar to above, the buttons do nothing, and should at least have a popup asking me to register.

3. The create character button doesn't display an error, but forwards me to the game advertisement, and then loops back into the game like Firefox before I can click anything.

In both browsers I'm in an endless loop. You should really consider letting the user play for 5 minutes or 10 minutes without needing to register, and then once they're hooked, prompt them to register to continue.

I hate and ignore those apps which require registration w.o. displaying the main page. Quora is another example to this.

Hey James I have been following you guys for a while, great concept and looks pretty smooth. Reminds me a lot of Habbo Hotel, great market with lots of revenue potential. Keep it up.

I liked the look of the first page I saw, where I could click on tables in the game room. But after going through registration via Facebook, I got back, and it looked like a boring web page. Whatever that page was, it was boring, so I closed the site. I forgot to get a screenshot, but it mostly was a solid green background.

I've been following this for a while. Great progress, great play experience, great game!

This is very impressive! Good work, I can only wish to be half as good with Node.js

Nice. What libraries/technologies are you using to render the front end?

I wanted to inspect the network tab in Chrome and it froze the whole browser.

I dislike having to create a separate account to play this game. Using twitter still requires a separate password and account to create. In firefox the game loops when clicking create character.

1st freeze with mirror 2nd at the table. couldnt do any moves. and now I cannot join "premium members can only play at 2 tables"

Latest chromium on ubuntu: 1 Loading up a room with a bar and slot machines 2 i click on the bar 3 screen fades to 50% black the end

Maybe I'm missing something but this game didn't work at all for me in Firefox

I thought it was going to be a game where I could use node.js against my enemies ;)

Sooo they found a way to gamify the gamified process of handing over your money!

Looks really great! Are you monetizing this (if you don't mind answering)?

The fish tanks look like the most interesting thing in the room.
