Blech... Say Goodbye to Empire

We received a bit of unfortunate news today as the mega-conglomerate PartyGaming has bought out Empire Poker and their player base. Rolling Eyes

This means that existing Empire players will probably be re-integrated into the PartyPoker network. We plan to remove Empire Poker from our website, although EmpireOnline has retained the rights to CD Poker and Noble Poker, so we plan to revisit the former and rank it accordingly if we find improvements. Look for updates in our site rankings this week...

Havent played there since before the split, and then because of rake back deals not available on party.

Good to hear (if i read correct) that money wont be lost whcih is in current empire accounts. and also, I had a username which I found particularly amusing, so nice to konw I will be able to use that on party in future

oh well, I cleared the last bonus they had. But it was not much fun playing there after the split with party.

Yeah, the split really diminished traffic and I guess this was the solution they were looking for to escape without leaving themselves completely empty-handed.
