Final Layout Tweaks
Sunday, April 5. 2009

Okay I have read all of your comments again and made any necessary changes. I have also made the menus, chat boxes, etc the correct colors now, so take a look at the final themes and then please vote in this poll for which one you like best. Remember, this is just to choose what the default theme will be, everyone will be able to switch between these 4 themes and future themes from your preferences page. Post in the comments for any last minute tweaks you would like for any of the themes.

New Layout Mockups
Friday, April 3. 2009

Sorry that this process is taking so long, but I want as many people as possible to love the new look of the site. I now have 4 themes created that you will be able to choose from to use while you play. Just look at the basic mockup for each, I know some of the link colors don't match and the chat boxes aren't correct colors on any of them, but that will be fixed once the final tweaks to each theme are done. Once again, let me know what you think of each one, and I'll do some last tweaks on these and then have a vote probably next week on which one you all want as the default theme for when people first sign up (they of course can always change it).

New Promotions
Wednesday, April 1. 2009

With your help by buying points and completing offers for points, we have decided to take the logical next step in promoting PokerRPG and bringing the site to the masses. In these fast-paced and advertised filled times, one must think outside of the box in order to come up with something truly original to grab the attention of potential players. In order to stay ahead of the curve and stand out we have devised a plan so genius its design it might just work. In order to reach the most people around the world in the most timely and cost effective manner, we here at PokerRPG have looked towards the moon for our answer. That is right, we are renting a massive laser to carve "PokerRPG.com" onto the surface of the moon so that everyone will know where to go to fulfill their poker and role-playing needs. This is a monumental step forward for our community, so be sure to stare out your window tonight and hope for clear skies as not to miss this historic event.

Oh and by the way, there is a great new prize up for grabs on the prizes page, check it out!!

Free Points & Credit Cards
Wednesday, March 25. 2009

There is a new system setup to get free points on the free points page with a much better and more reliable company than was used before. This company was also able to offer the credit card processing services I have been looking for for sometime now, so that option has returned to the buy points page.

Also, some great news for you international players, the new free points system has offers available for over 100 different countries, so most all of you should be covered now and have at least some opportunities to get free points from this.

Layout Mockup Update
Tuesday, March 3. 2009

I have read through all of the comments and made some tweaks to the mockup. I am thinking about having the option to have more than one theme, such as one with colors similar to the current layout, though I want this main blue one to have the perfect colors, so let me know what you think of the tweaks to the colors. I think I got the bugs worked out as well, but if you find any other issues with the layout please post those in the comments as well. Referring to the comments saying the graphs and achievement backgrounds need to match, I know that, I wasn't going to change them until the color needed was locked in.

Please view the mockup and post any suggestions or thoughts on the layout. I will read through all of them and make additional tweaks and improvements until this is perfect.

Prizes Update, pt. 2
Sunday, March 1. 2009

Well, it didn't take a week to figure out a new system. So, still on schedule, I present the new prize system. I got a lot of great feedback from all of you and think the new system should work out great. I also plan on having poker tournaments for prizes in the future as well, but I want to get more bugs worked out before then. There will most likely be added and more frequent prizes with the new system in the future once things get worked out better.

Prizes Update
Saturday, February 28. 2009

Some valid points about prizes have been brought up, so I have decided to postpone the return of the prize system for about a week while it is rethought. Please post any suggestions you have in the comments, they will be read. Remember that it can't be like it was before, at least not exactly like that as it was not viable (costs went over income).

eCheck Procesing
Saturday, February 28. 2009

Due to users exploiting the system by buying up points with eChecks from fake checking accounts so that they get free points, the system has been changed so that if you buy points with an eCheck, the points don't go into your account until the eCheck clears, sorry about this inconvenience.
