are there any updates on the whole 'note' issues? Clearly this is a big problem for me as I don't use any hud's whatsoever and only play on party.
Notes did not work for me. I just noticed now that Party turned my 521 KB Watchlist file with colour coding on thousands of players into an empty file!
There have been many complaints about the rewards being reduced even more or removed with no proper notice. The playthrough requirements below have become much worse than before, i.e., you have to be stupid enough to pay >= $4,500 rake in one quarter to a site with player segregation, then have to pay ANOTHER $3,000+ rake within 6 months just to release your $1K bonus. The 30% rakeback I used to get is now less than half to only 12.5%. Then you will get ripped off another 3% UNCAPPED fee for withdrawing the $1K! :mad:
"This bonus will be released in two increments of $500 (or equivalent in your account's currency) until the full $1000 has been released. To release each increment of $500 you need to earn 3000 points. To release the full $1000 you will need to earn a total of 6000 points. You will have 180 days to meet the full requirements."
Now you all understand a FEW more reasons why loyal PartyPoker VIPs like me were eventually forced to withdraw all our cash. Thank goodness I like playing live at Fall$view, Woodbine, Rama, Brantford, and later Playground Poker Club and W$OP-C Gatineau.
i tried to log in and download the new software a couple days ago. after sitting there with the loading screen trying to connect for almost 5 minutes i just gave up. stupid software won't even download properly.
While the new interface has been described as a "minor disaster" by PokernewsDaily, there are now rumours about Google buying up the badly-run bwin.party.
While players were excited for the new software, last week’s launch was a minor disaster. The software was incredibly laggy, players experienced frequent crashes, graphics were glitch, tables wouldn’t open, and more.
Did the non-new software ever work for you? The few times that I have logged in, the horrible software lags or freezes, so I phone support for a refund, but they instead tell me to try something, which doesn`t work. :rolleyes:
Aside from PS, what's the best online site to play in nowadays when I'm not playing live?

i never got it to work. i tried calling them and i went through a ton of crap and it still didn't work. i had this issue with them before as well. i give up.
The player concerns have gotten significantly worse in the past six months, according to a lot of the posters in the thread, and many of them are very well-respected players. That last fact is something that makes this story worth noting, because it isn’t random posters, but high volume players who have clout in the community.
Just when PartyPoker players like me had no choice but to organize an "Occupy PartyPoker" sitout for tomorrow, its new Head of Poker (headhunted from PokerStars) has claimed to have finally ended player segregation. Here are the Coles Notes from the 2+2 bombshell post:
Really long post about only 1 topic
Protected Tables (AKA Segregated Tables) first appeared 23 Feb 2013
Protected Tables were removed on 31 Oct 2013
PartyPoker promises to improve communication, and somebody from the poker team will be posting at least weekly - starting next week
Hopefully the poker media shills will report about this blockbuster about-face, instead of just Pokerfuse and PokerUpdate.com.
As any remaining PartyPoker players know, all the other issues beside player segregation have not improved, so if you happen to be online at 3 PM ET tomorrow, November 22, please join our sitout.
