So will relocated U.S players outside of the U.S be able to retrieve their account like stars lets us? Or will we need to make a new account?

+1 a whole bunch asked in other thread. Would like him to comment on changes within security dept. and how many people knew what was going on there and if those people are left.

Looking forward to relaunch but hoping all the personnel involved in any questionable behavior are gone

They said no account will be closed, US players will be able to play for playmoney with their old accounts, so the assumption is reasonable that if you relocate and go through the usual process you will be able (have) to play on your old account for real money.

Variety is a good thing, and FTP had a lot of things that appealed to casual and mid-volume players.

+1

Yes, I hated that also. Now you have the option to "show hole cards when all-in". If both players have activated this option their cards will be shown immediately in an all-in situation. If only one of them has activated this option there will be no showdown. Most players have activated it.

Question for Lee: Will Stars offer "run it twice" in the (near) future?

I think it's pretty clear by now that EVERYONE will be able to play for play money once the sites is relaunched.

Thanks!

I had one successful withdrawal in Canada, then made a 2nd withdrawal just before you shut down. That withdrawal also never went through. Will that money be returned to my account?

Thank you

Edit: To be specific, I requested a check just before you shut down but it was never sent. I do not want the check sent. Can I have the money returned to my account instead?

Shyam, we appreciate you starting this thread but we would like some timely answers too. I know that I'm not the only one with these same issues.

A player made a fake name using the small 'L' in the place of capital 'i', or vice versa. The font on FTP displays(displayed) this as the same.

That's also why you got PhiI lvey and all it's variants.

Obvious fakes got shut down, the play money lsildur was one of them....the real Isildur1 never played play money....
