They used to.
I was a PKR regular and always been an MPN regular
At NL400+ I only saw the screenames of 1 PKR Reg and 1 PKR Rec
While I saw 1 PKR Rec playing on Stars and 2 on Party

They were the biggest Skin when they joined MPN, but I highly doubt that is still the case. All Regs left, because of the software and it not being able to use a script. And most Recs left, because the main reason why they loved the site was because people used to chat and my funny emoticons etc., now it's obviously only Russian Bots.
Joining MPN was one of the worst business decisions I have ever see a poker company do and that bar is pretty high.

Now PKR has gone I need new site, what is good MPN site you all reccomend please? And good rakeback?

Let's see if UKGC was able to keep player funds separate.
(I never deposited there)

Probably mentioned a million times in this thread. There are several big eu bookmakers you can choose from and with aff help you get the highest vip level that gives 30% rb by default. Obv depends where are you from allso.

And +1 to pkr joining mpn was one of most idiotic business decisions in the industry. They had decent traffic for s standalone site and now they are broke. It's obv hard to survive in mpn these days when the biggest skins hoovers most of the players.

In which network is PKR now?

Why play in a place bot infested like MPN? Just because they say the have certificates? lol
And btw... Why always, and always, and always, someone sits in HU sng and runs lika a God multiple times in a row but particullary only that strange "person"? lol
And why reducing the slots to just one? lol makes no sense!

Lol what? Bots are everywhere and the biggest skins are reliable. You would rather play some small skin that doesn't have certificate? I don't play mpn anymore cause they changed the handhistories so ou cant track even your own games and analyze it.

Micrograming which has many skins around the world seems to be having some issues lately, or they don't like people playing on their network!

First, they added rakes to add-ons and rebuys at tournaments.

Then, they blocked HUDs in a way, so that you only get hand histories for hands you are involved in (ie: paid to see the flop), this makes usage of HUDs almost unnecessary. They already have anonymous tables so why the funk did they do that!

They have been reducing tournament guarantees for the last few months and now they are at their lowest! eg: Break Away used to be €2.500 GTD, then €2.000, now €1.500 Same goes for almost all of their tournaments.

There has been a reduction in the number of players on the server. Some maybe due to these changes, others might be 1-2 skins broking off from them -don't know if this is true.

Anyway, I'm seeing some warning signs here and just wanted to give you guys a heads up if you don't want to face another FullTilt like explosion in your faces. I'm not saying "don't play there", I say just beware and don't keep much of your bankroll on their servers anymore.

This, or they really don't like to have people playing on microgaming anymore...

I think your post might just be needless fearmongering, but it was announced today that PKR (one of the MPN skins, and provider of a non-trivial amount of traffic) has gone into administration. See NVG: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29...p/pkr-1665666/

Yeah, like they have gave me money more than once because of bots but like 2€??? lolololol

Yep, I just saw the blog post by MPN on their site about PKR.com.

I don't understand what "fearmongering" is, but as a player at MPN I'm seeing a decline in player numbers, increase in rake, reduction in guaranteed prizes while entry fees stay the same.

At least I should be entitled to "*****" about these as a player there, shouldn't I?

You just described every poker site

They are going to suffer a lot with these changes and they deserve it, probably they are going to close too maybe in the next year or so. Following what pokerstars is doing too is bs! They should change back while they have time to do so because people are gtfo or there. 4k online last night, last week they were 7k. #ripsoon

A bit hard to judge how much regulars impact the eco-system, but don't forget that MPN isn't just poker, they also have casino and make money from that.

There was 1361 cash games players (seats, actually) in a peak last night (May 5th). Week ago (April 29th) there was 1194 players (seats) in a peak. So I don't think so.

Right, they end up the HH and the traffic increases... And in cash!!!! Lolol NL10 last night 2 am 4 broken tables. Lolol Wanna talk about tourneys and new sng implements too? They are better this way right? And rake... Lets talk about rake because like Negreanu said... Rake is good! Doug Polk would laugh at this I'm sure....

Don't be so impulsive because it makes you look like douche.

Changes to hand histories were implemented April 13th. Furthermore I haven't said changes to hand histories caused traffic increase. I just said that you weren't right saying traffic dropped almost 50% last week because that's clearly not true.

fearmongering
NOUN

mass noun
The action of deliberately arousing public fear or alarm about a particular issue.

No one's suggesting you're not entitled to "*****", whatever that is.

Just as others are entitled to call you out when you suggest that lower traffic and software changes means that the network might be going down, and you decide the topic is worthy of a standalone thread.

what stakes do you play ?

Mostly 50s, 20s & 100s.

PKR must have had a significant amount of players surely? Just logged in, it's approaching peak hours and the lobby is an utter ghost town. Checked Pokerscout and noticed Unibet is now ranked higher than Microgaming too.

I just described decadence.

seriously doesn't look good - 4 tables of NL100 - 200 combined.

Surely it is too soon to know if this is caused by the new changes, the PKR fiasco and the fact that lately also 24hbet leaving didn't help, but I hope MPN is carefully monitoring the situation and will be the first to acknowledge the changes didn't have the intended outcome if that was the case.

Taking ability from players to fully monitor their results, rake paid etc. can not be justified just like that, it needs to have some positive effect on games and so far I am sceptical. It's great that RedKings found some bots on micro-stakes, because now it surely won't be players who will have any ability to detect bots or collusion when you don't even see what you get called by on Anon tables.
