Invite Your Facebook Friends
Friday, January 7. 2011

I've updated the referrals page to make it extremely simple to invite your friends to play PokerRPG, and makes it easy to spread your referral link around as well. If you haven't already connected your PokerRPG account to your Facebook account, it is a simple one-click process from the referrals page. You can then select some of your friends from the list, click send, and they are sent invite requests (and you are one step closer to getting 25 free points per friend).

Visit the Referrals page now

Poker Credits Update
Thursday, January 6. 2011

The limits have been lowered somewhat so that you only need 4 instead of 5 players at a Cash Game and 4 players instead of 6 in a Sit and Go to get Poker Credits.

Also, your hand is now calculated when everyone folds so that you will receive the full amount of Poker Credits by winning a hand regardless of if you make it to the showdown or not.

Options Flash Bug
Wednesday, January 5. 2011

A strange bug that has been difficult to pinpoint has been the one that seemingly randomly flashes your options for a split second after you have already pressed a button. I think I've finally gotten this fixed, but due to its random nature, it is hard to test whether it has actually been fixed. In theory it should, but theory doesn't always pan out in the real world. If you are currently at a table when this is posted, the code won't be updated with the fix until you reopen the window.

All-In Bug Fix
Wednesday, January 5. 2011

In a scenario where a player goes all-in pre-flop with less than the small blind, and the big blind and that user are the only ones left in the hand, the main pot was not computed correctly. This has now been fixed. If you see any other issues with the calculation of all-in pots, please open a ticket.

New Achievements & Other Updates
Tuesday, January 4. 2011

9 new achievements have been added dealing with monthly rankings, main tournaments, and blackjack. The achievements page has also been reordered to group similar achievements.

Added Number Drop to quick links.

The donation pool item list doesn't default to an item in your backpack, so there is no longer a risk of donating an item you didn't mean to.

A bug with blinds being paid out of turn sometimes has now been fixed.

A timestamp will now automatically be added to the main chat every 10 minutes.

Optimizations
Tuesday, January 4. 2011

I've spent the last several days going through every page, every line of code, and every database in order to optimize every aspect of the site, code, database, and server. RAM and CPU usage have been cut in half. This will not only speed up load times, but it will allow for many more players to play at the same time without the server slowing down, and it will further prevent random bugs from happening due to lag. I've found some typos that caused bugs from doing this, so if you see something that doesn't seem right, please let me know and I'll get it fixed as quickly as possible.
