Hello again everyone,
I have looked through the posts since my previous Q&A post and you can find the replies below. I will try to make these posts one time per week, but I am following the thread daily, so if something urgent comes up I will look into it right away.

Option to "play again" when you cash/bust in a sng, with a snipshot of ur bankroll
I am fairly happy with my name
It is a quite common name in Norway, where I am from, but I think its origin is from the Faroe Islands. It is derived from the old Norse words for ‘Battle’ and ‘Peace’ which pretty much covers my role here in this forum
As for the suggestion of a ‘Play Again’ option, I can say that it is something that is certainly worth considering. We are grateful for all such suggestions we receive, and even if you don’t see the features in the client immediately, quite a few of them get implemented in time.

We have made some adjustments that will hopefully improve things for the players that have been experiencing lag in the lobby. This was deployed at 11am ET today, and we are interested in hearing from you if it has improved the situation or if things are still the same. Please be aware that during the 5-10 minutes it took to deploy the fix, there might have been extra lag. We are also working on further improvements that should be ready for our next server release.

With a corresponding slight rake decrease for the shorter run-time, of course.
In general, any modifications to blind structure are going to need substantial support from the player community to be considered. In May 2011 we tried making changes to the STT structure that did not have prior buy-in from the community. While some did appreciate the new structure (and we still have an affinity for it), the reaction was overwhelmingly negative such that the change had to be reversed.
2 things to keep in mind:
1) The player community is larger than this thread. While strong support here for a structure change would be a great start, there are other player segments to check with before implementing a change
2) Slowing/speeding tournaments significantly may result in rake alterations.
With regard to your specific suggestion, we'll keep an eye on the thread and if it gets a lot of positive response (and little negative) we'll discuss more.

While we do recognize that Hypers may legitimately require more lobbies than Turbos, we want to review the liquidity of these new NLO8 tournaments before adding extra ones. I will look closer at this in a week or so when we have more data. However, if you are having problems registering fast enough, let me know and I will see if we can make a decision sooner.

Since we have just recently added these NLO8 tournaments, we would like to have them running for longer before we make any decision on expanding the offering.

There are some very legitimate reasons that the ‘Disconnect Extra Time’ works the way it does now. Is it a problem that comes up very frequently?
