We leave on Sunday and I have made this list of topics to discuss with the guys.

If you want to add or comment on something please reply or ingame email me or pm me. Hope I covered some of your concerns. :)

SUGGESTIONS FOR LIVE
GENERAL:
Fix the Motd.
Is there a way to see all scheduled gvgs, the results and who participated in them?
Is there a way to compile a list of all guilds and their members that could be accessible to all players?
Is there a way to see how many are online at a given time and who is online?
Some people want to be able to see other avatars in their hotel rooms.
Many of us have hundreds on golden tickets and tokens. To use them all in the machines takes a very very long time. Those of us with limited time due to work and other obligations do not want to spend our time using tokens and GTs and would rather be playing. How about developing a way to trade tokens and GTS for other things? Or giving us a onetime chance to cash them all in for XP or something? Or making a store in the mall that takes them in trade for charms or stones, or something?
Something needs to be done about the timer system for gvgs and solos. Many are looking for a better way. My thought is why have them at all. Just make a rule that guilds can only have a certain amount of each (which can increase) in any 24 hour period and if a guild violates the rule, suspend their ability to have any for awhile. Too many violations, and they can’t participate at all. If there is a list of gvgs posted every day, it would be easy to monitor.
Some people have expressed an interest in Phantom creating slot games based upon the same slots we see in real casinos. I know this might present copyright issues but a few players were particularly interested in some of the older games that a disappearing for many casinos that may have expired copyrights.
POKER:
Fix the booting problem. This has been a problem for a very long time. It seems to have escalated since the last couple of updates. The problem occurs more when people first take their seat in a tournament or when they change tables.
Many people want Bots for poker so they can either learn to play or practice.
The number of tournaments should be increased and there should be more holdem tournaments then the other poker games as that is the most popular game and will draw more people.
We want Sit & Gos 24 hours a day at varying amounts.
The poker room seems like such a waste right now but I think there are ways to draw people in and make it much more appealing. One suggestion, if possible, is to see people sitting at the tables like you can at the table games. It would be great to walk into the poker room and see avatars at all the tables. This is something totally unique that would draw new customers to Phantom.
Most devoted poker players are only on to play the two tournaments in the evening and many do nothing but hang around between them. I think that this is why so many poker players are now playing on Facebook or other sites. We can get some of these people back if we change things on LIVE.
Another problem that needs to be fixed is that the person who is the big blind doesn’t usually get the opportunity to bet or check and play just continues as if the person checked.
Many individuals think that poker tournaments because of the length of time should award more tournament coins than slot tournaments. 10 minutes slot tourney winner gets 3 coins, one hour poker tourney winner gets 3 too?
Leveling in poker is way too slow. I am level 24 and have played more than almost anyone. I go back to beta when we begged for people to come and play and many would not leave Vegas to even try. I play less frequently now because of all the problems but I am still a way higher level than anyone else.
Question – Why do we even need leveling for poker and table tournaments? It seems senseless especially if we are trying to attract people to play. The fact that your level, rather than money, determines the table you can play at hinders the ability to get enough players at similar levels to play at the same table. In addition, I can play a $250,000.00 holdem tourney at level 3 but can only sit at the most minimum buy in on a regular play table. That doesn’t make any sense.
When playing on regular tables, you should be able to access additional money at the table and not have to leave and come back in.

Alot of my notes are on the same wave length...thank you Maxie for posting
One main issue if you get booted from a slot tourney, you should be able to get back in like in vegas casino,

[Linda]

All excellent items to bring up :) One comment I would like to make though, is that currently 50% of our poker tournaments are Hold Em tournaments. Every other tournament we make in poker is Texas Hold Em.

[Binkster]

Yes, and I love Texas Hold-Em Poker.......................

[casinobob]

yes i would play more hi/lo if they wer like yhe old casino ck how many play there ty

[willowsgram]

i would play more if we got , gt, or dt, at this point theres really nothing to get the players to play you never even had a pv this year that was very sad, and theres no powers being added . for the most part all we have is slots so i think its time to put more thought in to poker and tables and then more will play. right now there no reason to.

[Heart672]

I'd REALLY like to see table games. I miss the okl 3 card, 6-5-4, well u know them all. lol

[Binkster]

Well, here it is: I'm stuck playing Mad Money and Rajah's Rupees to try to get more power, it is boring and redundant.............................i'm also stuck on zodiac w/dog and I've only done so far 13 chests on Island cuz I started over when I came back to Phantom for some reason I couldn't continue where I left off., so, am I happy? I think not!! I'm so sick of just sitting and spinning. I've entered Poker tourneys and had much fun, but do they work right? NO< NO!!
Phantom you do NEED help!!
I'm not bashing Phantom, just stating the facts. I want FUN for my buck , OK? Is that too much to ask?

[MAXIE]

Thank you all for your input. I hope to advocate for poker fixes and table games more than anything. So far it seems like Phantom is really listening and I think that our trip maybe a huge success. I would like to thank Aaron, Bryan, Josh, Linda and Emilie for all their efforts that have gone into bringing us to Iowa. Thank you :)

[neonparents]

I think the number of quest tokens needed to upgrade the powers is too high. It isn't very fun not being able to play at the domination that I have earned because I can't upgrade the powers.

[willowsgram]

just a heads up when you up grade your powers you will need a lot of gems as well so make sure to cash your gt in and gl

[ATouchOfClass54]

we are here in Iowa and ready to go to our meeting tomorrow morning, Thank you Phantom for bring us together.

[Cricket]

We are all glad you are there also. Could you find out why Vegas has so many server problems please. Its really a big problem. But I notice Live doesn't have near the server problems.

[Srjp]

I'd like to see gems added to the dragon token machine since Mrs. Demeanor requiers them as well for the XP quests.

[Binkster]

Hi Srjp, I finished the Msdemeanor quest in one whole day of agonizing anguish, gl, lol

[Allen66]

What a great idea Srjp.
