Gamesville will be getting a full-blown makeover soon, making a strong return to the fun, classic retro vibe we've become sort of famous for … only better.
All of your favorite free Gamesville games will be here, and they'll be easier than ever to find. We'll also be bringing some new stuff, like daily trivia games, voting, and more.
As part of this makeover, Gamesville's cash tournaments and subscription services from SkillJam will be replaced by a new cash competitions suite, powered by WorldWinner.
But why jaw about the new design when you can actually see it?
Please click the preview image on the left to see a larger version, and post your comments about the new look.
This makeover has been a real labor of love for us at Gamesville, and really helps set the ground for some exciting new things to come your way this year; so we hope you like it.
Thanks for your patience and continued support; it means the world to us.
Sincerely,
Chris Cummings
Manager, Gamesville.com

Maybe this isn't a new issue but I would like to offer my opinion regarding icons. First I think maybe just maybe you could decrease the number of GV rewards neded to get the next one-especially when you've reached the higher amounts/icons. Also we (meaning Gamesville) could always need som new ones. Second I have a suggestions maybe you could do a little contest asking players to give suggestions for new ones. My daughter and I actually came up with a list of new ones. You could make it so there is a minimum number of new ones to be offered-and the whole package would have to be accepted. And you could offer prizes such as a number of Gv rewards or a choice of new icon (without having to meet the point the point requirement. This is just a suggestion but I think a LOT of players would really enjoy a mini contest like this, especially lowering the amount needed to earn a new one. Trust me even if you lowered the requirement people are still going to play just as much LOL

I use to play at this site when it was called bingozone.com back in '95.
This site should offer $1 or $2 instant prizes like it did in the past, instead of the stupid drawings.
I'm happy to see skilljam is dead cause if u won money at their site they would just cancel your account and keep the money. world winner looks like its just about dead too. That site got really lame after skilljam became affiliated with it.

I couldn't agree with you more on this point. I, too, have been playing here off and on since '97. I won $4 once on bingo zone, but that is all I have received in all those years. It gets frustrating when you don't win.

I love the new design … especially the background. Looking forward to seeing it in action!
Comment by "Matt" — March 27, 2007 @ 7:19 pm
I have to say, it's good to see Gamesville getting back to its roots. The design looks a lot more fun than what you guys have now. (Though, that background is a little much. I like the 60's kind of look, just not sure about the colors there.) And I really like that you guys have the pet stuff back. As far as community content goes, I'm always a sucker for anything pet-related. Can't wait till it's live.

My vote for this as well. I actually thought, when I saw the original story, that you would be going back to that. I miss it! However, have to say that the new layout looks fantastic!

I am having trouble getting Magic 21 to give cards to me throughout entire game this morning 3/28.
I enjoy the new games and I play several. Please correct this error soon.

Hope the gamesville owners read this and do something about it?
Comment by "ShakiraBauer" — March 29, 2007 @ 10:21 pm
I really would like to see some more games. Especially "free" ones. Instead of old versions of tetris remade or other games remade. I would like more games you can play against other players. How about chinese checkers or scrabble, I really dont want to have to pay for games, thats why I play at this site the most. The other sites are ok, but they lock up alot.

Yeah, I've been a icky pizza forever and it says my next icon is a star also. Takes forever to get another icon when you get into the higher brackets

Comment by "Dee" — March 31, 2007 @ 8:33 pm
I like the new backgrounds and new layout of the games. I love the fact that you added a new jackpot game and so far it seems that the jackpot goes a lot sooner than in 3 Eyed Bingo. However, in Magic 21, the bottom of the chat screen isn't visible. Could you please fix this problem so that we can see what the last player said? Also, I would like to be able to see how many GV points I have when the intermission is on. It is hard to play and try to see the points at the same time and sometimes the points window freezes over the game and I can't play because of it. I would like the listings back of the icon values and how many tokens it takes to get the next one. Also, my icon isn't usually showing the correct one on the main pages, it always shows the first star when I am now on the dice. Just a few changes will make our playing experiences a lot better! This has to be one of the best gaming sites around! Kudos on all the hard work!

Dear gv and lycos families,
LOve the new game Magic 21!!!!! But i am having trouble with the sound only on this game. Also i am now a clover and it says my next badge is a star! WHY? Kudos on the new look and changes that are being made!!!!!! I think it will be more fun for all!
Comment by "annoymous" — April 1, 2007 @ 2:48 pm
HI all
Hey i give props to the new game Magic 21!!! I think it is the best game to really rack up those GV Rewards! Which by the way why does it say that my next badge is a star when the star is the first badge a person recieves? Another ? Why do i have sound on all the other games but not in Magic 21? WEIRD! I think! Well i am interested to see how this new GV homepage will be. Can't wait!
Thank you for always taking the time to update and correct the issues that GV has. It is important to all gamers that GV stay fun and interesting!!! And about the BLock Rule! Peeps if someone annoys you just hit your block button and they will not bother you again. Let's keep GV as fun as possible, no one likes playing with LOSERS!!
SINCERELY<MAMA

I've played on this site since 95 and won I a few times when it was bingozone. You guys worked really hard on the new look and it looks great – I like it when you don't have to go page to page to locate what your looking for, everything is central. Thanks for the hard work and look forward to the new look. Now can I win the monthly sweepstakes……lol
Comment by "dollphyn" — April 2, 2007 @ 9:04 pm
I think the changes being made will be well received! Having said that though, I wish there could be a change made in the Three Eyed bingo game. I'd like to see winning more random then always having to wait until the amount gets to $4,999.00. I think it would be more exciting if someone could win the cash prize at any amount up to $4,999.00. Could this be considered?
Thanks so much.
Comment by "nyjess66" — April 4, 2007 @ 3:52 am
Good looking page, unfortunately it no longer gets me in to play my favorite game Miami Dice. In fact it won't let me in to play anything. The procedure seems normal up to the pointwhere the game clicks and is about to "start" play and it throws me off your site.
Am I doing something wrong? Been playing f or years. I am not doing anything different.

Comment by "Rosemary" — April 7, 2007 @ 6:03 pm
I love Gamesville, but unfortunately I can't play here anymore. Some of the advertising freezes my game every time they come up. It is frustrating beyond belief. The "Rub Buddah's Belly" is one and there are a few others. I have tried using various browsers and have the same results and have heard that others are having the same problems. While I understand that advertising is a necessary evil, it becomes ineffective if it drives people away.
