Wins/Losses
Thursday, June 8. 2006

Alright, it turned out there were still a few bugs in the wins/losses calculations, but I am about 99.9% that is now solved. I have wiped the wins/losses stats for what should be the last time.

I am pretty sure I have your wins/losses stats updating correctly now. All wins/losses have been cleared, but if you think there is still a discrepancy please let me know.

Firefox
Wednesday, June 7. 2006

A few people were complaining about an issue with the poker tables on the Mozilla Firefox browser, so I looked into the issue and found some cookie problems. The issue has now been resolved and support for the Firefox browser has been restored:-)

If there are still some problems, or problems with any other browsers please let me know.

Sponsorship
Tuesday, June 6. 2006

This new feature is what will help to keep you from being dead in the water with 0 chips. Your sponsorship level basically depends on how "famous" you are in the PokerRPG world. This mainly has to do with your class, experience, and rank, although there will be several other ways of increasing your sponsorship.

Sponsorship works basically like this. The number that you see next to the sponsorship icon above is the number of free chips you will receive daily. This number grows with your popularity as "sponsors" are willing to pay you more to sponsor you.

Wannabe
Tuesday, June 6. 2006

You now have a base class, which is a Wannabe since your just somebody that lives and plays poker in your parent's basement! I am currently working on the experience system, which includes the class ranks. So soon you will be able to start advancing to higher class levels.

UPDATE: My to-do list includes, but is not limited, to the following: house builder, achievements, city governments, help section, quests, tournaments, and a few other "secret" features:-)

Many of you probably noticed a problem where poker games frequently froze because users pressed an options button and nothing happened. Well, I think you will be happy to hear that this issue has been resolved and the poker tables are now open again.

You may or may not have noticed this little message at the top of your screen. Hopefully you did, and hopefully you are planning on using those invites as I have made the beta period invite-only, so it is up to you all to select who gets to participate in beta.

Beta Testing Begins!
Monday, June 5. 2006

Well, after months of working, I have finally released PokerRPG Beta. Since this is beta, please either message me or e-mail me with the contact form any and all bugs or suggestions that you see. This is very important, the fast the bugs get submitted, the faster the site gets out of beta and you can start winning prizes.

I have a huge to do list, so just because you see a lot of coming soon stuff around the site, doesn't mean its going to be forever before those features come out. I plan on releasing several updates per day over the next few weeks.
