I was "stuck" for more than 8 weeks. I was out of boosters, and about to give up on the game all together, when the game finally started working again. I don't know what changed. But it was very discouraging while I was "Stuck"
I successfully got in on Thursday. Felt like a breath of fresh air, but it was just a one time success. I am back to playing "off line" I am almost out of boosters, and I can't send anyone lives. I needed just one more move to win level 3103 but all the gold bars in the world doesn't help when I can't connect to the server.
All out of boosters, (except for cake bomb). I just don't have the thrill when I open the game on my home computer anymore. It used to be a great distraction from work (the few times that I do work on my home computer) but now, it is more like a potato chip without salt. All the anticipation but none of the flavor.
