Therefore, with today's daily update, we have automatically enabled the HTML5 version for all players using recent versions of Chrome, Opera, Firefox and Safari. In the last days we have implemented several HTML5-related bugfixes that should have further improved your playing experience when using our Flash-free client. That was an ambitious plan, but so far we are succeeding, as there was no negative impact on our plans and schedules. We did not want to stop delivering new content and features (which would have been way easier, of course) while working on the conversion. The whole process of converting the game to HTML5 while continuously developing it is obviously not easy. We need to iron out any bugs and polish the HTML5 version to be at least as good and smooth as the current Flash client. While this is Beta, so there are still many things to improve, we believe that the quality is now good enough to share it with you and ask for your comments. Today, we would like to proudly present the first Beta version of Forge of Empires running fully under HTML5, without any Flash content. It is time that we start fulfilling that promise. To achieve that, we have promised to create a Flash-free version of the game, using the HTML5 technology. This means that in order to make Forge of Empires playable beyond that point, we need to move away from Flash.

While Flash has made the internet a better and more friendly place, it is a very old technology, and the original authors of the Flash Player have decided to stop working on it by the end of 2020.
