Re: The day the music died?
I just sent an e-mail to Empire's support asking what's going on. Usually they take a few hours to respond, so if someone w/ a VIP account could do the same, please do.

Re: The day the music died?
FWIW I just heard this from my affiliate:
In the absence of a news accouncement of any sort and with the other technical difficulties lately, and because of the liability issues a change of this magnitude opens Party up to with stockholders, the odds are very good this is a technical issue. I'm waiting to hear back from my empire contact, keep an eye on the news page here for further developments.

Party gaming are a listed company on the london stock exchange, and i'm pretty sure they have to publicly announce any major business changes. Whether not announcing this would be breaking the rules, i'm not 100% sure.

Re: The day the music died?
From a business standpoint, this could really hurt online poker. The suits from the skins and their stockholders will be publicized and Party -- the biggest online poker room -- will be all over the news having done something shady. People might start to have more skepticism of online poker rooms, shrinking the casual player base. For this reason I REALLY hope it's just a technical issue.
From a poker standpoint this does suck, but rakeback only constitutes like 1/7th of my SnG income, and about 0% of my MTT income. It's far from the end of online poker (at least for me).

Re: The day the music died?
I wouldn't panic yet. The MTT are still missing from Party and Empire. Clearly they are still sorting out some technical issues.

I don't know if this is for real: Technical Issue [/ QUOTE ] That looks pretty real. Party just can't void contracts with skins, especially now that they are a publicly traded company. It sucks that I probably have to x out real entries in my books, and that I really wanted to get in some serious STTs today. Two more things: The party client updated, empire did not. Now we see that skins make up about 25% of party's user base. Edit - reading Mike O'Mally's post, perhaps I am mistaken. That looks bad.

Re: The day the music died?
I am blatently a noob here, someone explain what a rakeback actually is?
I havent really dived much into Online poker and when i do i stick to SnG and MTT's, i dont think i can handle 4 tables at once making plays vs. players let alone the 8+ you guys are talking about.
