This means that in order to make Forge of Empires playable beyond that point, we need to move away from Flash. While Flash has made the internet a better and more friendly place, it is a very old technology, and the original authors of the Flash Player have decided to stop working on it by the end of 2020. The feature is expected to remain in beta testing for a while now, and its polished version will be rolled out on the live servers certainly before 2020.Īn extract of the original announcement which can be found here: It will be gradually rolled out to other browsers as well once the developers are happy with their performance.
