Please keep things positive. Best advise I believe is to try out different sites. Find what works well for you. If you don't like it, don't go back and try another site. Nothing says you only have to play on 1 site. At one time, I played on about 6 different turn-based game sites.

Subject: If you are having trouble logging to GoldToken...
This msg was posted from firefly on one of the discussion boards. There were issues with the new server installed and some people are having difficulty logging in.
The old URL with the www in still points to the old server, and, though you may get a log-in page, you won't be able to get in.
Mecir, one of our programmers, has this to say...
"That will fix itself in a while. We cannot do a thing about that, it's the nature of the internet. Specifically, your local name server still remembers that "www.goldtoken.com" means our old server, so when you try to access it, it will simply go to there without checking if it still is the correct location. The stored information will expire within the next 24 hours, then your local name server will once again ask the GoldToken's servers where "www.goldtoken.com" is, it will be given the proper location, and from then on, it will work for you."
Great news about the new server. It will be super when GT is fast and efficient.
HOWEVER ... there is a teeny weeny problem with the update. The new server is located in California, and they got hit with the worst storm in California history. So the update is going to take longer than expected - I believe it will be finished about 6 hours from now. If the transfer aborts because of the storms then it will have to be redone, but lets hope it all goes through smoothly first time.
We are in the process of upgrading our server. To do this, we must ensure the integrity of our data as we complete the move, so you will not have access to the website until the upgrade is complete.
While we can't provide you a timeline of when this will be completed, our best estimate is that this process shouldn't take more than a few hours. Rest assured that no game timeouts will occur during this period.
When we complete the upgrade and bring the site back online, it will be a faster, more responsive system, capable of handling the increasing load that comes with our site's popularity. Be sure to check back in a few hours!
"Snoopy": As I understand it, he went broke and closed it down. I did hear rumors that it would start up again in Nov with new owners but I don't know if that's true or not.
Coan, they did have several colonies start and you could play at any of them.. so essentially, you could not play all the games. My favorite was loose Gold Card. I never saw that anywhere else.
(hide) If you want to save on bandwidth you can reduce the amount of information that shows up in your pages in the Settings. Try changing the number of games in the main page and the number of messages per page. (pauloaguia) (show all tips)
