And ad revenue isn&#8217;t THAT good (it mostly covers the hosting costs for all my websites, which I&#8217;m fine with).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s hoping things improve soon for both myself and the other gamers anxiously waiting to play the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>*UPDATE* The latest 1.0.1.6 patch manages to make the game stop crashing for me, and I have now actually made some progress in the game; others still have issues, so keep this in mind before you buy!
