Question: Why doesn't the server update my rank every 5.2 seconds?
Answer and explanation:
so if you have a database with 5 people in it, with scores of 10, 4, 8 , 6 , 1. that change ever few minutes arrange it every 30 seconds.
now if you have a database with 6000 people in it and 300 of those change ever few minutes, rearrange that database every 30 seconds
now if you have a database with 60000 people in it and 3000 of those change ever few minutes rearrange those ever 30 seconds.
now host a web server on a computer you paid for with multiple raptor hard drives(pricey) a quad core x 2 platform and 16 gb of 8600+ ram. Then pay for custom fiber optic internet with extra upload capabilities.
now take that database, and imagine it's only 1 field in a database with over 200 fields, that you might have to add more fields to and to do that you'd have to take the server down for a while to accomplish.
now make the game free, and pay for everything out of pocket until the gold sales are set up. Sucks don't it, but makes sense that they aren't updated every 5.2 seconds.

Question: Something isn't showing up, resources/area/button I should be able to click?
Answer: just press f5 and refresh the page, if that doesn't work log out and sign back in, if that doesn't work, it's probably not the game it's just a misunderstanding, keep reading down this post.

Question: How do I build tanks/infantry/aircraft?
Answer and explanation: The best way to learn how to do anything and to get ahead fast in this game is to click on tasks in the upper right of the main screen, it will list a set of "Newbie Tasks". Don't feel bad everyone who's in the top 100 has done these! Not because they are newbies but because thy teach you how to play the game AND the pay you tons of resources to upgrade your base and units! When in doubt just click tasks and work towards those.
