I think you'd attract/retain more users if you added a way to demo the game without having to login/register (despite the fact that the registration is quick and easy), and then prompting them register after completing one or two quests.

In my experience, people turn away as soon as they see the a registration form if they haven't had a chance to play first (or unless the game is already very popular). Do you have any analytics running on your site to track the bounce rate?

Bottom right of the screen is a 'spectate other players' button. I used that to get an idea of how it plays.

Immediately sent to jail for not following the rules. I assume I triggered your bot filter.

I tried to use it on my phone, but it doesn’t seem to work. OS: Android Browser: Firefox

Have not tried it on Firefox in Android. Does this url work for you https://data.mo.ee ?

However, it should work with Chrome and we have an app as well: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ee.mo.rpg

I'll try to download Firefox and see if there are any errors to be fixed.

Edit: Downloaded Firefox 91.3.0 for Android and everything was working without any issues. Android version 10.

It seems to work now. I guess it was user error!
