UPDATE 9/5/2011 @ 15.00 OT
It looks like Poker is back up now, but only on .deathmatch server (usually known as 'test' server). There's still no official news post by admins, but we can all go and play it once again, hopefully this time, it won't get shut down due to the new-old bug.

BREAKING NEWS: Poker might be offline tomorrow, AGAIN!

Long story short:
Poker bug was not fixed, as admins said.

Short story long:
After poker was shut down on ALL Omerta versions on 4th of April, due to a bug admins found in the poker system, it took them one month to find what's exactly making this bug possible to abuse and to think of a way how to stop it from being exploitable again. However, not even 3 days after poker came back online, it seems developers did absolutely NOTHING and bug is still there!

After only 3 days ago, since we reported about bullet Lackey bug: http://news.trabot.net/na/discussion/280/ (within 30 minutes after it was unlocked and available for testing on .dm server), this time we have yet another shocking info. Problem with bullet Lackey was well known and was happening right after testing started on developers server. Bullets weren't bought, money was not taken away either, but credits were charged - it was all known two weeks before bullet Lackey was unlocked. However, nothing was fixed, but yet released, and soon this Lackey had to be locked quickly, before a riot would start. So this new 'poker fail' doesn't surprise us at all, I'd say,since things are not going so well for Omerta LTD lately, with bug fixes and new features.

Question for discussion here is: do you think that, after DrunkenGamer left Omerta LTD, things are not going so well in world of Omerta? My personal observation is that current developers are not up to their tasks and are not capable of releasing or fixing anything fast or as good as DG was doing. Please leave your comments on latest 'flaw' in Omerta below and keep it civilized.

Also, another question remains, after some people got away last time with abuse of this bug, how many will take unfair advantage over not-fixed poker issue this time and run away with it?

P.S. Special thanks and lots of kisses are going to my 'anonymous' source for this information :)
