Old news I guess... Admin can delete if it's old news.

Both of the reviews suggest that it's a pretty terrible way to play the game. Neat idea though.

It does not save. Hmmph. I do not call this "DF online," I call this "you play for ten minutes, then restart". If you cannot save, what is the purpose? As soon as the internet is not connected, your game is over forever.

Seems like you need to start a account in order to save your game. World generation seems to crash the game quite often also...

Worldgen problems aren't probably their fault. It looks like they're running 42.01. (You could probably poke them and suggest updating to 42.03, which is trivial to do and doesn't break compatibility very much.)

(minding that depending on how their infrastructure works it might not be trivial at all -- there are just no additional complexities from Dwarf Fortress itself)

They've updated to 42.04 I noticed today.
Works really well acutally (even if I only play as a guest with no save ability) for a little playing while at work for example  8)
