Disclaimer: I no longer play any Zynga Games. Sorry!

Some people argue that its just games and that people shouldn’t be so pissy about errors in the games but if Zynga is going to design and distribute games, they should work and be stress free. People play video games to ease stress but all Zynga Games is doing is provoking stress. There are a lot of complaints about the multiple errors in both Cafe World and Roller Coaster Kingdom but the designers at Zynga aren’t paying attention to that. They are constantly adding more features to the game instead of fixing the problems with the game.

The games are awesome they have potential but they lack structure. Yea beta’s are not always supposed to be the complete game that’s why its called a beta but these two games seem like they’re still in the crawling stage. Well here are the complaints with both Cafe World and Roller Coaster Kingdom

Cafe World

• The lack of space. The game allows you to have all these stoves, counters and tables but you have no room to put them all. You have to wait probably for months or so before they allow you to expand your restaurant.
• Constant down-time. The game is either down because of the servers are down or because they felt that adding new features and items to the game in the middle of the day is the perfect time.
• Losing dishes that were cooking. Say you are cooking pizza and you refresh or go to another game, come back and the dish is gone. That pisses you off doesn’t it?
• Taking doors down and still have people entering restaurant. I’ve seen this a few times in the past week or so where I would want to pause the game by taking the doors down because I was out of food and I did not want to lose my buzz rating of 105.0. I take the doors down and people are walking through walls. So I close the browser and open it back up the next day and there is a door on the wall when I specifically deleted them all.
• Constant lag and more frequent the higher your level is. I haven’t seen this one but there are a lot of people complaining that the higher your level is the longer your have to wait for things to load in the game.
• All the customers, servers, and cook looks the same. Yes I have seen this one. Its when everyone has the same face, same clothes, same features but different color hair. I don’t even know if Zynga knows about this one.
• Doors are often times stuck to the wall and cannot be moved. I’ve witness this one myself. When going into build mode, there’s a door that I put up and now cannot remove.
• Money disappearing. This is a major issue with a lot of people. Money they made has disappeared and or items they used that they bought with said money or ‘Cafe Points’.
• Unnecessary ‘loadings’. Ever watch how long and unnecessary the ‘loading cafe’ sequence is? Why is it unnecessarily long?
• Memory hogger. This game infact makes Firefox and IE freeze in its tracks at times. Don’t have two flash games open at once. Cafe World will take all the memory from both games.
• The Spices ‘not working’. They deduct from the inventory but they don’t produce.
• Sending gifts. Often times people can’t even send gifts without it being a problem.
• ‘Go outside’ button is no where to be found. Going outside to decorate your Cafe? Make sure your button is there because there have been reports of it being M.I.A. There’s also other icons that was there that aren’t now that’s disappearing.
• Neighbors on your list that you deleted? Well, they might be there as long as you’re still playing. No matter how many times you delete them, they’ll still be there. If you’re having this problem, you mind as well just adjust to it or not play the game.

Roller Coaster Kingdom

• Having to babysit the game just to get money and to level up. I have to sit and keep the game open just to make sure I get the money and the leveling up that I deserve from the visitors.
• Having to use real money. Its understandable in Farmville but its just stupid in Roller Coaster Kingdom.
• People lose everything. I never had these problems but after Zynga updates the game and people can play again, people have lost their money, rides, neighbors and or tours.
• The servers. Enough said.
• That annoying music before the game starts up. Also the fact that when it loops, you can actually tell its looping.
• The loading screens. I don’t know why their servers favorite % is 74…
• It uses too many browser resources. I mean come on, its a flash game and I don’t think the games over at Shockwave.com uses that many resources.
• Visitors getting stuck. Now this one I have witnessed. They’ll be in a line but they won’t move. They’re just standing there frozen.
• Hiring friends to work as operators. Hiring friends does not add value to the user, it is obviously a way to market the game to other potential users.
• Too many restrictions. You can’t do this, you can’t do that..etc…etc.
• Expanding your park requirements. You have to have a billion neighbors to expand the park. Again with the marketing ploy.
• Moving rides around. There should be an easier way to move rides around. You should be able to rotate them as well.
• No saving option. You should be able to save your progress since leaving the page would result in you losing your visitors. Farm-ville and now Cafe World has a save feature. Which are made by the same company.

Complaints from other users:

1. Do not attempt to collect rewards (Broken down bus, Baby Moose or Lost Bag of money) in a new browser page while you have customers in another or the connection will be lost and with it, all your customers.

2. Sometimes the connection is reset at random = all customers and thus all coins and XP is lost.

3. The three prices, Lost Baby Moose, Broken Down Bus and Bag of money once were worth between up to 60K coins. Zynga reduced this to 1000 coins for the baby moose/bag of money. The broken down bus now only yields 6 park visitors (or orphans) with 15 coins each to spend. Whoopeee! 90 coins instead of 10,000 – what a trade… NOT!

4. It is by far the WORST memory hog ever in the history of Windows. Park visitors still have half their coins but it has already slowed to a crawl with the pagefile fully used up. (2.2 GB) With so much available memory one wonders what is demanding in Flash using vector graphics. Even a RAM defragmenter has no effect. Yuck, RCK is a nice idea but very poorly implemented.

I don’t work with Zynga so stop contacting me telling me to refund the 8 million dollars that you lost. If you need to make a complaint to Zynga. Please visit here to the Zynga Forums <- Yes, click that.
