Icons are NOT a 'new format'

There's absolutely no 'new format' - with the new small graphical icons the lobby and tables function exactly as before. We know for a fact that when new players like former MSN people or Pogo players used to come to GameColony before, they were totally confused with our previous text-only lobby. These players and other beginners needed a lot of breadcrumbs to find their way to the tables. A lot of these beginners were sufficiently confused and left right away. As GameColony is build for growth, we could no longer tolerate the text-only boring lobby. We finally decided not to be afraid of some graphics & color. This site does not want to become the single text-only dinosaur on the web. The new icons occupy the smallest possible screen space and are as tiny and as unobtrusive as humanly possible. Some of the old-timers who got used to our previous text-only lobby were unhappy -- all changes are painful. Others called the icons 'cool' and useful for those that 'cant read'. In any case, these icons are NOT for old-timers - they are for the newcomers. Old timers can easily ignore the tiny icons just as they can ignore anything that they are already familiar with...
