The other day i posted a mail from Full Tilt that the Windfall tournament was ending on May 15th. and i was asking that if this had something to do with the merger of FT/PS and most of you said no it is just the end of one tournament.
But i was right to ask question since i just read on the net that the merge will be done on May 17th.
Full Tilt is coming with a new software and will be a skin of PokerStars i am anxious to see what will be the changes on FT. Will all see that next week.

Its been a long time since i read about the merge. Didnt bother looking into it. But if your info is right, we will know next week. Lets see if the change will be for good or bad. merging both sites. Since it will be a skin everything will be the same with pokerstars in other words, you are already familiar with the "new software".

I don't know if it will be the PokerStars software that will replace the Ft one or a mix of the two.
One think is that you will have the same name on both and it will be the one you are using on PS and only one account all your money you have in FT will be transfer in you PS account.

I think this rather will be a complete take(make)over and from now on both will look like an iteration of the current PS skin (at least this is what I'd done if I'd happen to be own both rooms). And if Amaya consider this as a success in the upcoming business quarters then they will probably start desaturating the market more by buying up/merging with different smaill-midsized rooms as well.
Not sure anything good could come out of this in the long run tbh.

Yep. If Amaya want to streamline their operations they need to focus on one clientsoftware. So the FT client will most likely be replaced by one, based on the Stars client. Not tho sure about more rooms, tho. The networks all proved to be more trouble than single rooms.

I don't know about FTP, coins and VPP.
Hmm i don't think i like that,my user on FT is the 1st one i used online and i don't use it any where else so it'll be sad to see it go.

ftp will go up in flames and will only exist as skin on ps7 with ps7 software and rng. all the account assets will be taken to your new stars account (rg-tickets, mtt-tickets, account balance).
the sad end of an epic history with both nice and bad moments. i will miss it.

Ok we know that ft was only a part of the amaya network, but their own software are verry nice and a little bit old school. Now it seems that the time snds for ft, but PS helped us to get our money after the black fiday and i can say thanks to stars.

It is indeed a shame that the FT client software will, most likely, be taken from the market. There are a ton of other software clients that are clearly inferior to this one, and i would like to see disapear instead.
