It would be nice to register for multiple SNG's with same BI.

Thats terrible!

A lot of good ideas here.

Anything that reduces the current "table clutter" is a good one.

Also, some non-turbo 27s would be great. Right now there are only 18s and 45s.

Also, just realized the 18s start with 1000 chips. Whats up with that? Weak.

can you please add a point multiplier as you move up in gears. Its wierd that as you move up your make the same amount of points where on other sites it gets multiplied. Kind of defeats the purpose of moving up in the VIP loyalty ranks

you seriously complaining about rewards on the site? they're the best in the industry

how bout adding the 8 game?

As a PokerStars refugee, I’ve been on RPM for about a week now. I have become more accustomed to the software but I still feel it makes me “tired” faster than PS.

As a “GUI specialist” at a large, commercial scientific software company I have a significant list of items I think would help this software tremendously. I have skimmed over this thread and some of these I am sure have been mentioned and some I am sure have not.

I am going to post my entire running list that I have currently. It may be a little long, if you think so, don’t read it.

1. The entire “avatar” (name/stack/action” is too large for the table. It is particularly too wide. It makes the table feel cluttered. The font used is awful, especially upon resizing. In general it is hard on the brain. Think Pokerstars….perfect avatar icons.
   
2. The action indication ( a solid white surround) is functionally lacking. At times, there is no evidence at all that the client is not frozen.
3. The dealer button is too small. It shouldn’t be an effort to locate anyone’s position relative to the button.
   
4. When a hand is concluded, especially when someone is eliminated in a tournament, the action is significantly too quick. It is not obvious who won the hand or what hand they held. Yes it is in chat, but it needs to be slowed down on the table. The awarding of the pot needs to go slower and there need to be some built in pauses so the action can be mentally processed.
   
5. Player “Tags” (Shark, donkey, etc.) are useless. They are too small when utilized and are of nominal value because they cannot be customized. People track various things about players; these tags are trivial. Again, think PokerStars’ color coded, customizable color tags.
   
6. Sound controls are lacking. I might want to hear more than just MY sounds, but do I really need to hear a lame “card shuffling” sound before EVERY hand dealt? This makes me just want to punch the monitor. It is "auditory clutter".
   
7. In general, the main Lobby organization and filter is a mess. I could write at least two pages on this topic alone. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, look at PS’ lobby.
   
8. Put a table lobby button on the table interface. Lose the BJ icon.
   
9. Take the “Folded XX” text info off the table. Again, it is clutter. If someone wants to know what they folded, they have the “folded” mouseover functionality.
   
10. Show the chips in the pot, in multiple stacks by chip denomination at all times , not just a number in parentheses.
    
11. Tournament playing stats are reset upon changing tables. This is most likely a bug. What sense could it possibly make? As it stands, it is of nominal importance because the info provided is so bad anyway. Again, PS’ table stats with the capability of choosing when to reset.
    
12. Clear the table of cards at breaks. From across the room it would be easier to tell if the tournament has resumed.
    
13. Update the player chip stack total in the table lobby quicker after a hand is finished.
    
14. Show tournament running time in the table lobby, not the date and time it started.
    
15. Show next tournament level in “time until”, not time of next level, or just eliminate it entirely from the table lobby since it is displayed on the table.
16. In a tournament, when being moved, why ask a player’s agreement to be moved?
    
17. Introduce an RSA key or at LEAST a clickable PIN for added password security. Not having this is just ridiculous.
    
18. As a part of “totally re-working the main lobby”, which I have already mentioned, is sorely needed, there needs to be a system of “Satellites to this tournament” and “This is a satellite to XXX”, with clickable links to those tournaments. It would be SO much easier than having to dig through that mess of a Lobby. Again, most of this has already been “perfected”.

The interface is SO crucial to making the game playable. The current interface isn’t horrible, but I does need a lot of work so it doesn’t make players tired, due to clutter, or make them “work” to something that should be easy.

If anyone at RPM wants to PM for clarification, I would be happy to help.

Suggestion:
Don't turn Merge into PokerStars.

OK, let's be realistic here. If you had to pick 5 of these items on your list, which 5 would you choose. Pin number/RSA token better be one of them.

No? Why not? Unless the idea is to keep it small so that they don't get in the eye of the DOJ, I can't see a reason why a site wouldn't want to model itself after the clear winner in the pokersite competition.

I don't see any reason to limit it to 5.



And I don't see any reason NOT to emulate the best software in the market.

Any chance of having a step program like Carbon has?

Could I get a turbo 6-max SNG somewhere in between $22 and $119? Kind of a big gap you got going on here.

+1

I'm getting the impression some of you never, ever heard the word "no" as a child.

Remove the maximum buyin limit from $.02/$.04 and $.05/$.10 LHE tables please.

I get the impression some perenial losers are satisfied with mediocrity.

Sorry, you've got the wrong guy. And you're missing an "n" there.

we need a vault or some added security

Please make selecting the hand history option less ridiculous. I shouldn't have to scroll down through a bazillionty folders to find the hand history for the last hand i just played. Its unrealistic when multi-tabling. Not to mention when another table pops up, you lose your place when searching HH's.

+1 to being able to register for more than one sng (of same game/buyin) at a time

Edit: FWIW, my HH is not even tracking correctly, it has all play for the last two days shoved into 5/1/2011 folder

Do you want to be on a 6max table that has 5 24 tabling rakeback pros?

Hello. I think there are several opportunities to get better and trying to get more people into RPM. Taking care of PLO is a good one. I know you offer the game, but the traffic is so low, that there is not chance to play a lot, specially for that players that come from FTP and PS where the traffic was so good. I think that good promotions based on PLO could benefit your site and the players of PLO. Thanks.

Could a real money RPM player tell me if RPM has this feature? Thank you kindly.

lol. So you want them to intentionally keep their software bad (or very sub-optimal, at least) in order to deter mass-multitablers? Good luck with that. Merge/RPM is concerned with accumulating more players and more rake. They're not going to set that goal aside in order to please a few people such as yourself who are scared of playing with multitablers.

Let's recap:

Improve the software, which makes the majority of players happy and brings the site more rake

vs.

Intentionally hold the software back to please a few scared players such as yourself, which does nothing to increase the site's revenue

Gee, I wonder which they'll choose?

The payout structures seem very flat. I fired up a few MTTs last night and the $3 100 max freezout had 10th-20th paying $3 which was slightly surprising after years at stars where a min cash usually netted you a (minimal) profit. 20% of the field making the money seems kind of extreme IMO
