Got a mail from german support today, still saying february...

oh god no. They are using soon again. That will take forever

Come on guys, soon means less then a week.

Not a Duke Nukem Forever soon.

Thank you for your email.

more news!

unbelievable now they say early march ...

Why are they so bad with timelines?

time to quote myself

A PokerStars "soon" is not a real world soon unfortunately. Don't get too excited

early march means mid march, mid march means april, april means autumn, autumn means 2013, 2013 means 2113, 2113 means next millennium, next millennium means next big bang.

It's like you guys are all brand new to online poker as well as software release dates in general.

It does seem kind of silly now that I expected a more professional approach from Stars this time

some things never change I guess

I stand by my prediction.

Why are people so upset about the release date? Everyone makes it sound like it's been pushed back 100 times. Didn't they originally just say 2012, then narrow it down to the first quarter of 2012, then narrow it down to late january or early february, and then push it back to early march? That means the only delayed it ONCE so far by a month. What's the big deal? lol

You like those rules baby ?

The later it comes the harder it will get to achieve SNE with something as low as NL100 e.g. easily

start at 2.00, says it all imho.

man I understand zoom is a good thing and I think it is awesome that they developed it. But why not say hey guys it is gonna take longer than expected. Sorry about that. Then give a realistic time frame when it would be ready and everybody would accept that.

But no they are rather using "it's coming soon" or February, late Feb, now early March,... so everybody "stays tuned". Thats how you treat little kids when they keep asking are we there yet? soon! when? soon! are we there? soon! now? no, soon!

How is that professional for such a multi million dollar company, raking in thousands and thousands of $ each day from us. I just think we deserve a little bit more

/end rant, thanks for the vid, I like that guy

honestly, i really hope they don't try and push this out in early march. the server problems are such a joke that anything that puts more load on the server is going to cause massive problems. maybe stars could upgrade their servers and then thing about adding new stuff?

This sucks so much it's like when my dad used to take us to the zoo. We would ask 'Are we there yet?' and he kept saying 'soon' and it took ages and we would ask are we nearly there and he would say yes and then after a long long time we would say daddy you said we would be there soon and he said we will we will and we said but when its been ages why did you say we would be there soon when it always takes a long long time and he said it takes as long as it takes and he would get cross and we would say he shouldn't have said we would be there soon this always happens and eventually I realized the only way to sort this out was to effing grow up.

How many hands/hr/table were people getting with rush ? I assume this is going to be same speed.

I got 250 hands/hr per 6max table so 4 tables = 1k hands/hr

I was averaging 1200 hands/ hour 4tabling full ring.

Waiting months to play a hand at blitz poker, sure it's not not fast moving poker.
