We are working on some changes to Poker Underworld that I’d like to let everyone know about.

To start, my most exciting news is that we are moving to new servers over the next week. This has been a long time coming, and we’re very lucky to have found new hosting that will solve the speed issues that have plagued us for a long time now. I’ll let you know when we’re moving through the blog since we’ll have to shut the tables down for a few hours.

With the new servers, we’ll be able to host multi-table tournaments, which we couldn’t do before. We’re really excited to be able to do this because we’ll be crowning Champion of Poker Underworld champions every month. We will start with daily tournaments which will seed into the final monthly championship tournament.

We’d like to continue to offer our rooms for free, but we’d like to add a cash tournament as well which will require a $5 entry fee. The winners of the tournament will split this prize. We’ll start having these tournaments every Friday night and then add more if it becomes popular.

Finally, I’m still as concerned as ever about the inflation of points on the site. In the past I have toyed with resetting points monthly, with a lifetime total that carries over. I’ve always backed off on this idea but I think the time has come to reset everybody and find out who the best players are.

I’ll keep you updated.
