Hey everyone, We hear your concerns about disconnections, eco-settings, toplists, and gameplay suggestions, and we’re committed to making FlyOrDie the best it can be. Today, we’re thrilled to share exciting updates and a glimpse into our plans to address your feedback. 🎳 Big News: Bowling is Coming! We’re pouring our energy into launching a brand-new bowling game, currently in beta and set to roll out soon! This is our top priority, and we can’t wait for you to experience the fun, competitive gameplay. Stay tuned for more details and get ready to strike! 🔊 Addressing Your Concerns We know some issues have been frustrating, and we appreciate your patience (and your inner IT expertise!). Here’s where we stand: 🔌 Disconnections We’re investigating this complex issue, but it’s not as simple as some have suggested. Our team is working to pinpoint the causes, and we’re confident that our upcoming site-wide revamp (more below) will resolve this. No quick fix yet, but we’re on it. 🎱 Eco-Settings in Billiards The eco-settings issue requires significant work, and we plan to address it during the new architecture transition. We’ll keep you updated as we progress. Toplists: We’ve identified the cause of the outdated toplists and expect a fix within the next month. Soon, your rankings will shine daily again! 🎲 Gameplay Suggestions Your ideas matter! They’re tracked in our forum by our team and will be a key part of the new architecture updates. Keep sharing on the forum. 🔮 A Bright Future: New Architecture We’re excited to announce a major site revamp with a new architecture, starting with chess as our first focus. This overhaul will fix disconnections, eco-settings, toplists, and more, delivering a smoother, more engaging experience. Each game will take roughly 1–2 months to transition, so bear with us as we make these improvements. This is a big step forward, and we’re committed to getting it right. ✍️ Let’s Stay Connected Your feedback fuels our progress, so keep it coming. We’re working hard to bring you the best gaming experience, and with bowling and the new architecture on the horizon, there’s a lot to look forward to! Thank you for being the heart of FlyOrDie.

That sounds great! I'd like to share a suggestion. The ranking system should be made a bit fairer, especially for high-rated players. Most 1000-rated players lose a lot of points (–35 to –50) when playing against strong players in the 600–800 range, but when they manage to win after a tough match, they only gain 5–8 points. That's why many of them have to sit for 7 days. There often aren’t enough players between 600 and 900 online at the same time. It would be nice if others share this opinion too. Thanks and best regards, Daniel

I disagree the point system is fine, Just need to remove the capability of sitting...playing once every 7 days shouldn't be rewarded. Also the bo5 option should be removed I personally would like to see the rating system go back to what it was before you changed it.

In my opinion, the ranking system should be adjusted to make things fairer for top players. However, I don’t recommend removing the Best-of-3 or Best-of-5 formats, because without them, many top players would no longer play against each other. This format also acts as a kind of protection for high-rated players. Everyone already has the option to choose “RT1–3” if they prefer – no one is forced into any format. The 7-day sitting rule also seems a bit questionable to me, but it’s understandable if someone is away or on vacation. In such cases, I think it’s acceptable.

Oh, damn, communication!!??????? What's going on? It's funny to see a moderator announce such a change without the admins even mentioning it. It's always the same communication problem for so many years. I'm continuing in the negative direction. I was disqualified from an 8-ball tournament for no reason a few weeks ago. I started a forum thread with no response, wrote 11 messages to support at your address provided by the moderators and the site, without a response, of course. We've lost 80% of our pool players. It's sad but realistic. Why: Firstly, because the moderation is too strict. By that, I mean that a simple provocation is misinterpreted. (Football clubs beat each other up and they're not punished virtually; leave room for trolling and conversations like that; it's always more fun.) The eco settings seem to be progressing, but after several years (and it's still not resolved). The proposed infamous points system. Bo5s are good, but getting a 2-3 and losing 30 points doesn't motivate people (this opinion isn't mine). Then, being able to go days without losing points only diminishes players' desire to compete at the top of the rankings. To finish my post, I'm sure some ideas for exceptional events and tournaments should emerge. No one in the black ball: Okay, tonight at 8:00 PM, a moderator/(a new role) will activate a tournament (counting or not toward the grand prize) to keep undervalued games alive. And above all, communication and advertising to attract people!

Good to see the signal sharpen! Bowling on the way. Systems realigning. Architecture reimagined. For those of us who’ve watched the grid flicker and reform, this is long-awaited momentum. To everyone who’s been speaking up, keep doing it. Input shapes outcome. And to those quietly waiting for the dust to settle… the roll-out has begun. Eyes forward. Changes in motion. Stay tuned.
