The beta test site for PartyPoker’s long anticipated new software was leaked over the weekend. The test site currently carries a notice: “Our beta version is currently offline while we are fixing bugs.”
However, a rolling slideshow shows a few glimpses of what the new software will look like and what it will do. First is the strong emphasis on making the most of poker’s social aspects.
Then a new feature simply titled “Achievements and Missions”.
A much simplified lobby interface appears to provide recreational players with single-click access to a seat at the tables.
And finally a glimpse of the new table colors and graphics themselves.
Beta versions are put out to discover any remaining glitches in the software that intensive practical use brings to light, but the announced launch window of August is rapidly closing—the summer bugs are being persistent this year.
