The problem is there aren't enough hours in a day for me to answer everybody, and until WSOP is over there wont be much hope.
What does the WSOP have to do with anything? Your customer service people are at the WSOP?

Maybe the CEO is trying to bink the Main Event and hire a support staff?

No Rizen is at WSOP, and post WSOP we are also looking to get more of our guys involved on here.

We are bringing another batch of CS staff online early July.

It's been a couple weeks since I made the switch back to Merge, primarily becuase I CANNOT stand the Cake poker software. Not only is Merge's software seemingly infinitely better than Cake's, the guarantees are still bigger.

Re: Boycott Lock Poker

Ronin was so nice and all but I hardly got to enjoy it... 3 st's run at once. Same for turbos as well. I'm sure you cash game folks had a blast but sng players really got shafted coming from Merge to lock.

Shane, so basically you are saying that this is all too much for the company to handle and there is almost no hope of any improvement for at least a few weeks because there just isn't anyone around to do that. Sounds good. Let me know if and when the site ever becomes worth playing and deserving of an individual's thousands of dollars worth of business.

The site either wants to take this stuff seriously or it doesn't. Not really room for in between there.

It is either a good place for the customer to take his business or it isn't. And you not being able to get to the emails because you are a virtual one-man show (so it seems) who likes to frequently point out how super-duper hard all of this does not exactly inspire confidence.

You're not going to get sympathy from any customers about how hard all of this is. Honestly, nobody cares.

Figure it out and do better. Or don't. Whatever. Trying really hard and failing is equally annoying to not trying hard enough and yields the same results. And I still do suspect part of the problem does have to do with the organization not trying hard enough despite your claims to the contrary.

Personally, I won't be playing there until the awful points system is corrected. Even if I overlooked everythimg else, there is better value elsewhere. I believe it was mentioned that the points thing might not be fixed for a few months. Oh well. That's certainly disappointing. See you in September I guess.

Re: Boycott Lock Poker

A manager of a pokersite openly stating on twoplustwo that the customer support of his company sucks. It really boggles the mind. This could be the most unprofessional thing I've heard on these forums. It's not like shane has done a particularly convincing job in this forum either.

No offense, shane, but posts like this alongside the bizarre "please send me nice emails" charade givess me the impression that you might be way over your head here.

What is also downright bizarre is the fact that the poker room manager of your site is not available for weeks during what is probably one of the most critical times in LockPoker's history. Just because he needs to play poker in the WSOP? Are you serious? This is the guy that is responsible for the poker room on the website. If something goes wrong (and there have been enough issues), I expect him to showup regardless whether he is on vacation or not. He is the freaking card room manager, not level 1 customer support. Or is he another manager that feels not responsibility at all?

Re: Boycott Lock Poker

FWIW, a manager of a pokersite not lying and hiding the fact that his support is useless right now is a good thing. That's not to say the lock situation is a good one, or that it's not shady and ****ty. Just that I prefer to be around people who are upfront about their faults, instead of masking them with lies.

Re: Boycott Lock Poker

All other issues and excuses aside, customer service is the one area where Lock should have been able to more effectively handle this transition. All of their energies (outside of development resources) should be going to making sure they are communicating with their players. Lack of service is creating uncertainty which in turn leads to anxiety and ultimately drowns the excitement anyone had for this new option.

Right now the only thing Lock Poker is doing well is running a great marketing campaign for Merge.
