The connection issue is still not resolved. Although it's extremely annoying that it happens a few times every min, I've kept playing. I have progressed so far (and spent my own money) I didn't want to just give up. But now I have a main character stuck behind a building in Panda Island and without her I can no longer progress in Panda Island. I've been going back and forth for weeks with the developers and there's nothing they can do about it. Sweet! I will be uninstalling and not coming back.
