IPAD - Wifi only version

Hello,

Any other players playing the game on an IPAD with just the wifi access ??

I spend most of my time playing the game offline and then just connect throughout the day to gift, visit etc...

Are there any benefits/issues with playing this way do you think ??

I play with just Wifi and it works both online and off. My husband has IPad2 also and has Wifi and 3G, the Wifi went down and the 3G kicked in, then a message from GI saying "you have cheated and have used an accelerator, first warning!" The problem, from what we could find out, is that the clock in the IPad can change slightly when the 3G switches on and off. I guess GI needs to hire people to program that are beyond the old 2 cans and a string technology!

I used to love this game, but with the time it takes to visit friends and all the glitches, it is getting old!!

I only play while connected to the internet (my iPad is WiFi only, but I tether to my phone sometimes).

I feel anxious about playing while not connected to the internet. Besides, a lot of what I do is visiting friends and gifting - all of which requires a connection.

99% of the time I play with 3G only, as I don't have (and definitely don't want) WiFi around me.
So far - no problems at all.

I'm a wifi person only, too. Although when stuck in the hotel last week with a terrible wifi connection I was able to complete a whole level up while playing offline. I was nervous about drops not actually being recorded, but they were. Felt very frustrated that I couldn't visit or gift though. I had o ly gotten through half of my gifting before we hit the road. Thought I'd get to finish at my sister's house before reset at midnight. Hotel was unexpected stop, so I wasn't able to gift the rest! I felt bad that I didn't get to get all my gifts sent!

How do you tether to your phone? Is there a reason why someone would want to do that? I assume you probably wouldn't want to do that if you don't have an unlimited or a large data plan?

I tether by using Personal Hotspot on my iPhone. I have unlimited data through my carrier (though it's really slow). Better than nothing.

I think it is only when you have wifi and 3G connected at the same time. If you play on 3G only you are fine, or wifi, if you have 3G or wifi running in the back...one kicks off and the other kicks in... That is when you have the problem!! Check your connections, make sure if you run wifi that you do not have your 3G on!!

I play with Wifi, at home I like to have it connected so that I can get the gifts and, more importantly, friend requests for gifts in real time.
