I have no doubt that much of their problems likely come from decisions made early in the development process. I'm not a developer, so I can't say what Applibot should or shouldn't have done in development, but obviously it isn't keeping up with current server demand properly.

Making a separate LOC app from scratch and transferring over everyone's accounts may be the best solution in the long run. Obviously, this isn't the easiest thing to accomplish and would require some time, effort, and resources. But to ensure the future of the game, they should seriously consider the option. And should they go this route, they should probably put in place some kind of an actual development process (planning, testing, etc.). This could easily be done on a separate test sever before having it go live.

Of course, considering how the current LOC app has been running thus far, one has to suspect that the current developers may not be as technically proficient as they could be.
