Lots of new exciting features!

It's been another couple of weeks of frantic development at Dukesbox. A shiny new forum that actually fits in with the rest of the site for starters! You no longer need to register for a separate account to make posts to our forum. Instead just login with your standard Dukesbox.com user name and password, click 'Community' on the top navigation bar and then you can join the discussion!Private Game Series

Whats this 'Private Matches' option thats appeared on my menu I hear you cry! Well thats a whole new way of playing, and as far as we know, is something thats never been done before on a skill gaming website! With this feature you can select a huge number of options for a private game series. Some examples of the things you can change are:

  • Entrance Cost - The amount people pay to enter the game series

  • Game - The game that will be played in the game series

  • Number of Games - The number of games in the game series

  • Score Mode - Whether its the highest combined score or single highest score that wins!

  • Reward Type - Winner takes all, or a prize for everyone, your choice

  • Entrance Cost - The amount people pay to enter the game series

  • Lots more options - Im worried about boring you all so will cut this list short


So what does all this stuff mean for you? Well for a start it means that you can now play skill gaming for as little as 1p per game! This is because we only take 10p per player per private game series. Also this style of gaming gives you all more chance to get to know each other better as each private game series will have a message board that you can talk to each other on.
This brings me nicely on to another new feature, User Pages. Now whenever you play against someone, you can click on their avatar and see their personalized page. On top of this you can write in their guest book and invite them to be you friend, which makes starting your own private series with them much easier :)


The final new feature worth mentioning is the new deposit options. Not only can you still deposit with Google Checkout, but now you can also deposit directly on the site, or through Paypal Express. All 3 of which are fully secure and we will not charge you any extra transaction fees for using them.


All this and we're not even close to thinking about slowing down the development on the site. Over the next few weeks expect a few new games! As usual any comments at all, please feel free to reply to this post
