Social farming game We Rule has been plagued by connectivity issues since its release early Saturday morning.

Players have been complaining of not being able to connect to ngmoco servers, which is critical for playing the game. Apparently, the lengthy Canadian beta wasn't adequate for exterminating all of the game's bugs.

Complaints have been pouring into the game's official Twitter thread, which has curtly redirected displeased players to send an e-mail to ngmoco support.

Ngmoco claims to have discovered the source of the problem, though, and pledges to have a fix soon.

"We've found the issue and are working on a fix. We Rule should be up and running for all very soon. Thank you for your continued patience."

How this may affect the game's reception remains to be seen, yet it doesn't look good given ngmoco's insistence the last two weeks that the server capacity was expanded to avoid this very problem.

We Rule is available now for iPhone and iPod touch for free, while an iPad version is expected next month.
