I am also having this problem. I emailed Mog.com first to see if it was a problem on their end and their response was:

====================================================================================
Thank you for your inquiry. Facebook is not a requirement to use our new browser. We do offer a facebook connect option but it is completely optional and is by default disabled on all profiles.

You were getting the error in your browser because the Facebook disconnect extension is enabled.

The Facebook Disconnect plugin is supposed to only block requests from 3rd party websites to Facebook. Our Chrome player does NOT make calls to Facebook directly and shouldn't be impacted.

The Facebook Disconnect plugin developer built his product in a day. He encourages people to write him and log bugs. We have already submitted one to him and encourage you to do the same as it should not be causing issues with our player.

Please see https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ejpepffjfmamnambagiibghpg...

We are not the only only site this plugin is impacting. It is creating issues with other sites that use Flash Player. In the meantime if you do not want to disable it, we suggest using another browser, IE supports the new player.
====================================================================================

They have released a new version of their website that is basically a port of the Chrome extension, and it is also unusable with this or Disconnect running.

To debug this when I reach US. The game is blocking me from access now that I am physically out of the US.
