this morning my game failed to boot up; it 'hung' on the title screen and nothing would help. i waited hours and rebooted many times.
so, i took a radical step that others have said fixes things (though i don't know why it would) .. i deleted and re-installed the app.
when i booted it ... my globalage town was replaced by a new dawn age town ... and a new playerid .... omg the fear!
i emotionally prepared to just start over, practicing a nonattachment to progress .. the fun would still be there, and progress is ultimately meaningless so it's ok, it's just a distraction anyway...
then i had the bright idea to log into ios 'game center' ..... when i rebooted the game it gave me the option to use my game-center stored base. *whew* it came back.
however, it prompts me to wonder how exactly the infrastructure/architecture works; if i had said "no don't use game center base" that misclick *would* have started me over. (which imo should be a feature for those desiring it)
intuitively, i think my account 'glitched' somehow, and the process of reloading it from game center unglitched me. not knowing the details how this happened makes me nervous.
it seems there is a 'game center' base and a 'nexon' base, kept synchronized, and the 'nexon' base glitched out ... and i needed to 'reload' from the 'game center' base. the game seems to desire to shield us from being aware of the infrastructure ... but if i had some awareness of how it works i might not have been so freaked out.
any advice or comments?
