The original version of Godfield.

This game was the reason I continued to have Flash on my computer. It's an RNG card game that is extremely satisfying to me, and the primarily Japanese community was super fun. Played it on and off for basically a decade.

They announced this big update a few years ago with pomp and circumstance, and replaced the Flash version with what I assume is HTML5. It should have been great. But, no. They fundamentally changed the rules, altered the way matchmaking worked so it's impossible to connect with people in the way the community had formed before. On top of that, it didn't even work. Did not function. They did revert to the original version for a while, but the new version is up now and apparently here to stay... Now it (basically) works, but it's blatantly inferior and getting a game together is impossible because the community died between the switchover problems and server issues.
