The PokerStars Corporate Blog also made a new post today, in which they revealed that a Lockheed C-130 Hercules was used to transport over 30 tons of server and computer equipment and 5 kilometres of cable to the PokerStars HQ on the Isle of Man.
The blog post concluded with reassurances that the site will be up and running before the deadline: "The bottom line is that non-US Full Tilt players will have access to their money by November 6th and Full Tilt Poker will be dealing cards that day, too."

So nothing good for the U.S. players and our BR at this time ay? I'll be patient and wait even longer what else can I do. It's been quite some time up to now so another 6 months won't bother me as long as Carbon doesn't fail me.

November 6th? That close already? Many skeptics must keep doubting about the accomplishment of this objective, but they say so, who are we to deny it? That will be the new “International Day of the Money” date, remember by millions of users who recovered their investments. I can see the newspapers covers already, full of chips and money and people smilling for having the chance to put their money back on their pockets!

I am very nuch looking forward to the relaunch. Only have a smal bankroll there, but I would love to play on the site again with this great software. Hopefully they will stay different from PS in respect of promos and rakeback.

As i said before if the software and also all the promotiosn that full tilt used to offer with a better support(like the stars one) we should have a top poker platform indeed
I also saw a photo on another poker forum about the relocation but first i thought it was not true lol

i just hope they won't launch on friday another thing i hope for is something of a "launch party" - some decent promotions to former players, new customers- maybe a launch freeroll with a decent prize pool, anyway it will be nice to play some hands at tilt- miss you my fluffy panda avatar

They will have for sure promotions, and most probably they will have a very good deposit bonus in order to draw more new players in the site with fresh money Also redeposit bonus would be good for many players

The long awaited return of our 'favourite' poker site!!!! Its had more press than anywhere esle and all because it did what it did and still has what it has that everyone else believes belongs to them....but snonetheless see you all there when its back!!
I hope this time they mean it and that there will be no more delays with opening and paying back players. Really looking forward on playing there again and wish they stay on same software like before or improved even. Just wish they don't use same as pokerstars. Miss that "smooth" feeling it gave me while playing.

Well from what I understand PS/FTP has nothing to do with the USA players at this time, remission process will be handled exclusively by the DoJ : and anything government can take ages, especially for a thing like this. Hate to say it, but I really wouldn't hold your breath on getting anything any time soon.
Bail out Tuesday was such a relief to all frustrated bankroll holders To Poker Stars wondering if red tape would end their chances of a refund and the chance to play on a much loved site having said which
over 18Mill Interest has been lost had players had access to thier money and deposited in a savings account with a 2.02 APY that compounded monthly for 15 months since Black Friday.
What are the thoughts on a range of custom limited Edition avatars for the patient bankrollers??

Given all thats gone on, I very much doubt PS will ever be granted a license in the US, and certainly not using FTP.

Very much looking forward that they come back in the market. Hopefully FTP will have a player friendly relaunch with nice promotions. In addition I very much hope that they will stay different from PS and not relauchn as Pokerstar2.
