Before diving into the thick of connectivity troubleshooting, please check the Growtopia website and Twitter to see if those issues could be caused by a maintenance, degradation or outage.
In the event the servers are up and you are still having trouble connecting, it is important to understand that your internet service provider (ISP) and the way you share the connection speed can play a big role in how you experience the game.
