We're aware that a lot of people lagged close to the milestone but we aren't sure if it's CPU load issues from having lots of tables open or network problems. We're also aware of the more general login problems last night. We're investigating each.

In general I prefer that you all talk to support for refunds as there're a lot of requests and only one me. But as you picked that alias, ok, done. I'm not sure what you missed so let me know if the refund is for the wrong kind of thing.

Edit: And I could still watch what happens in the table. Would've hit quad aces.
This sounds symptomatic of CPU lag

Yeh, agree. I'm interested in figuring out exactly how liquidity works. Cash games are the most important for that, but perhaps SNG are simpler to figure out. Everyone in the industry "knows" that more liquidity is good, though I think there's a limit where it's pure linear improvements. But nobody seems to know how much is enough for a game to run. At what point does adding 1% liquidity add > 1% rake?
I don't think that higher stake SNG run enough for us to split those, but perhaps we could do something at lower stake games first. Anyway, it's for 6 months time or whatever, so no rush.

Playing 1€ sngs are a waste of time for anyone playing nl25 and up even if free, and if I spend the time grinding out those tickets you actually lose rake compared to me playing higher stakes. I love the idea of vip rewards that feed back into the games themselves, but some way to combine tickets into a higher buyin one or whatever creative thing you can come up with might be cool.
I'm happy to convert tickets from one type to another. If you get to €25 in €1 SNG tickets etc, I can convert them.
The reason I built it like this was because we have causal data that say players who try more game types will live longer. I've been cutting down in the number of tickets awarded in Challenges though, and I'm cutting down further next quarter (more playthrough bonuses instead).
In the long term, I want to do a bonus shop where you win bonus money which you can use to buy whatever tickets you want. Then we can discount €25 SNG tickets for a week or for particular players (e.g. if someone is losing a lot in €100 SNG and we think they're about to give up, we could encourage them to play lower instead). This'd be very interesting to tie back into liquidity.

That's ok, I don't expect many people will have read the entire thread, and our plans and ideas evolve anyway.

For example:
U can convert 25* €1 SNG tickets to 1 25NL ticket

Thanks immortalpinguin, and don't worry, it's not a big deal.

Yeh, I'd much prefer higher stakes won. I think that if we do this again (250m hand?) I would make NL4 less valuable and make the flops-seen-multplier more valuable. I'd also make a FAQ that talks about how to get higher EV in milestones - I think a lot of people have been trained on the PS system and don't read how ours works. We need to make that clearer.
And yes, I am whining that we haven't awarded enough money yet. > €50k so far though so not too bad.

Regarding points for challenges:
I think I read somewhere that if you have exceeding points you will keep them for the next quarter. (Fe if you have 1 100 000 you will start with 100 000 next quarter) Is this correct?
Otherwise, theres no worth for me to play anymore in december, since its 250 000 points to next price for me.
Thankful if you could answear this.
That'll only start happening from next quarter.

€17,025. Not bad for NL4 - I guess they're rolled to play higher now. I'd have preferred it hit at NL100 though!
