Main Tournaments
Tuesday, June 15. 2010

Main Tournaments have now been cleared to leave beta testing thanks to the help of many of you. The first tournament will start tonight at 6:00 pm (you can signup an hour before) and is called the "10,000 Chips Daily," which, as you may have guessed is a daily tournament with a 10,000 chip buy-in. I'm planning on adding other tournaments as well (and can of course change this one too), but I'd like to see what kinds of tournaments you all would like to see (how often, when, how many chips, etc), so please post ideas in the comments.

Main Tournaments
Sunday, June 13. 2010

A lot of bugs have been fixed over the past few months, and the tables are finally stable enough to once again take a stab at Main Tournaments. A few small beta testing tables are going to be run over the next couple days to make sure there are no bugs, but after that there will be regular tournaments running. If you find any bugs, please open a support ticket with as much detail as possible. If you have ideas/suggestions to make the tournaments better, please post them in the comments of this post.

Bug Fixes
Monday, June 7. 2010

When making a CG, you no longer get an error saying that the minimum buy-in must be smaller than the maximum when it already is.

Rebuying now adheres to the minimum buy-in at a CG. If you have 500 chips at a table and the minimum is 1000, the smallest amount you can rebuy is 500 chips now.

PokerRPG Turns 4!
Saturday, June 5. 2010

Oh how the time has flown! That is right, PokerRPG opened its "doors" and started beta testing 4 years ago today. It has been a great 4 years and I'm glad to say that I've been able to meet a lot of great people over those years. I hope to be able to continue making new friends with all of you as the game continues to evolve and grow. Some big updates are in the works that I think will excite a lot of people (they aren't quite ready for a birthday launch, but soon).

To celebrate our 4th birthday, any point pack or donator pack purchased from now through Monday, June 7 @ 11:59pm will receive a special PokerRPG Fourth Birthday Cake. This is a new birthday item.

Prizes Update
Tuesday, June 1. 2010

The ending time for prize auctions will now alternate between 11:59am and 11:59pm (the earlier time will be on even numbered months like this month). This is to help give users in other countries a fair chance. I have also improved the code on the bidding side when it comes down to the last few seconds and it should be more accurate.

Good Events Working Correctly Now
Wednesday, April 21. 2010

It turns out there was a typo in the code that gave random events which had disabled any good random events from happening. This bug has been fixed and good random events will now be happening again.
