New blinds at Party/Empire

Well, newish blinds. Being a cagey sort of player, I took all my money out of these sites when the blinds changed as I didn't have a clue what effect it would have on my play, or the play of others for that matter.
I'm assuming that things have levelled off now. So can anyone give me a summary of the effects the blind changes have made? My guess is that there are a lot more limpers. Has the average pot size gone down? What is the 'normal' opening bet nowadays? Are any new strategies necessary?
By the way, was anyone consulted on the blinds changes?

This has already been discussed a bit here: http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...pic.php?t=8397

I really havent changed my strategy for opening the pot but I tend to call bigger raises with small PPs because of the implied odds they offer. Also suited connectors have grown up in value. Because some cards have gone up some have naturally gone down. And these are (unsuited) big cards like AJ, AQ not to mention crap like KJ.

Perhaps due to the reload bonus pp is offering, tables have been surprisingly tight in all levels what I have heard.
