The devs have been working very hard to stabilize the game and it is much more stable now, although at the cost of taking some stuff out, but they also added a number of improvements, such as a global mana pool. The game is at ver 1.19g now. Ver 1.2 is scheduled to be released on March 22, I believe the game should finally be pretty stable then. I would wait until then to give it another try.
