mawmaw98player You say EA is making improvements to Pogo. No, you are not!!! Making it worse in many paid members view!!! Why take off every game we love to play and be able to chat side by side with our newly made friends!!!! Why give us the option to even chat?? That chat option at the bottom of nearly every game is not friendly, flip flopping to chat below the game is not correct and does not make it fun for us, the paid members!!!! Also, private chat option was totally removed, so cannot enjoy chatting with our friends or newly made friends without interruptions from other players, even the unpaid members coming in on our conversation! From bad to worse is all you have done with pogo. Bet your business drops drastically! What else could you expect, pogo is not fun anymore, when you take away the things we pay for because we enjoy the way it has always been since we joined the club pogo!! Dominoes is the most fun to play on here, and you are taking it off, what the heck!!! The majong games/puzzles are terrific, even the newly looking ones, but we like to make friends and chat with our friends on here, even relatives play and chat with each other. Our privacy has been taken away by you!! Please, please, please relook at what you are doing to mess up our world of enjoyment, relaxation, meeting new people and enjoying it all!!! The changes are not good at all for the betterment of pogo! Just saying..................Thank you for reading and listening if you guys really are!!! mawmaw98player Member since 2008 or 2009 one.

I totally agree with you mawmaw98player. The most popular games have been dropped like pool,texas hold em, dice city roller which took over a year to bring back and many other games that had a lot of members playing them. Now almost every game is either a hidden object game, a solitaire game and the competition against other members has been removed. Before Pogo killed all the java games, there was at any given time at least 55,000 online playing Pogo games. Now it is down to 27,000. Has Pogo learned from this ? I think not. What Pogo seemed to miss is that many leagues ran tourneys in Pogo and competition was a key element. Not to mention game friendly chat rooms. I used to play many games for hours on Pogo, but now there is only 3 or 4 games I like. Also Pogo has gone money hungry,having to buy power ups and such. EA has not been a good edition for Pogo.
The games have to be written to the new format. Pogo didn’t kill Java games, the makers of Java killed it. Same goes for Flash. It’s not Pogo’s fault. Membership prices haven’t gone up in years and you are not required to buy power ups (I never do). As far as leagues go, Pogo doesn’t creat them it was up to members to do that. Also, EA has owned pogo since 2001.
