For those who have not read "Player News", a brief explanation. The "Daily Break" game is NOT gone permanently. It's temporarily disabled for the weekend due to multiple issues for players & not working correctly. They said not to worry about lost Oodles as they were sure a new promo code will be available next week to cover the down time. A compensation for problems was given yesterday with a promo code available thru 5/13. See Mandoli's post in "The Official "Promo Code" Thread".
