Without gnashing of teeth, I do agree that it's NOT been improved in 'touch and view' by the changes.
I find the avatars too much like the most horrid of US cartoonery, and don't like the card decks. The way that cards are arrayed (Spades) is actually a degrade.
But, after all, is there truly anything that's better - despite its recent downgrading?

Peter: I agree, the other sites are more focused on speed that nuance. Cards are a SOCIAL game, and this site is still the easiest on which to converse while playing. I have noticed less lagging now, perhaps the price for that is the simpler graphics. Lagging and booting was the PRIMARY problem with the old site, good to see that gone.

Slacker: I followed up on 'Hardwood', and it is immensely better. There is of course a learning curve, AND to be able to chat etc one has to pay. But the overall experience is massively better than the revamped WOCG. That includes "social".
(I don't like to see someone cocking things up, but this time it HAS been done - sadly.)

So sad the site is ruined. I spent many nice hours playing with friends. I leave.

I keep making comments either on this interface or by email with hope (though most unlikely) that Holger will come to his senses.
This is based however on what his motivation really is regarding the site. It could possibly be that this is his way of letting it die. He could’ve left the art-work as it was -especially the avatars - unless he no longer owns the copyright to them. I find his failure to communicate with players arrogant and dishonest.

Connie Inayat: Hi Connie, i have been doing the same. If Holger does not consider the users' preferences he is as supercilious as I suspect. Does he play any of the games? A beta site should have been used first for testing users and their responses.
