Note: this game is still in a pre-release state, although at this point it is very playable, tested and found to be fairly stable
WARNING: please note that this is in no way an upgrade from the old 8.3.2 version, so please do not try to just copy your files over, since the installer logic has changed and you would just crash your old version

Dedicated or shared hosting?
We strongly recommend using a dedicated hosting for this game. Big Travian servers used to host thousands of players and the original servers still had about 300ms page display time. The legacy code in this clone (which was created in 2013) is right now doing about 400 MySQL queries (questions to the database) per single page refresh - which is usually well beyond what most shared hostings can support with a big enough player base.
