And it sounded like its for everyone that plays on lock, so will it be on the lock website?
The information blitz has been reduced to this FAQ while they rush the product to market.

kinda figured they wouldn't budge but appreciate your efforts.
I can tell you now the process that I was sold this on isn't the same as the process that we are seeing put in place.
My only hope now is that as we see it implemented the effects on the lobby aren't as bad as players are expecting. If they get the levels set right and Fair Play delivers on what both the network and we agree on (a better balanced ecology) then this really can work out. It all hinges on the launch day and what you players really see when you first log into the lobby with Fair Play.

1. The idea that something needs to be dont to better balance the poker ecology was prioritised because it really is important. We aren't alone in our move to create a more sustainable environment and I completely support the move. The execution is the only thing Im not overly comfortable with.
2. Our concern is how to best provide a sustainable cardroom so all players can continue to have somewhere to play poker. Sometimes when something for the greater good its going to cause headaches for a certain group, but that doesn't mean its not the best thing to do for the greater good.
