Magic The Gathering Online

I downloaded and installed it. Now I am afraid I will get spanked by these kids and their newfound decks.

Has a pricing scheme been released for the packs? No way I'd pay more than $2 per pack for something I couldn't really re-sell. (I still have a Mox Jet that I won in a tournament 4 yrs. ago sitting on my desk). The cost should be low enough so that it isn't like the actual game, where the rich will have their power cards and win. I haven't played in awhile, tho' I'll likely see how this progresses.

I heard from someone that Wizards will actually let you turn your virtual cards into real ones. If you buy a booster, you can pick out cards you want to physically have and they will ship them to you, removing them from your online account.

ahh dont remind me the amount of money iwasted on those things. Stop at Strong hold i think

Yeah this is just a way for them to sell stuff that costs nothing to produce..... the american dream

 

[Blayze]

used to play with my friends for a couple years...
it got old so I quit. sold my cards along time ago (kinda wish I still had them)

 

[Radiohead]

Didn't know ppl still played this game...

i was spending $1k/year on the game. i stopped at the one b4 urza's (tempest?).

i hope it's not $2/booster?! when i was buying, it was straight from a dealer, so it was like $50/box.

as for hacking, closed bnet at diablo II was more or less cheat proof. and when they found the hack, the corrected it and killed the advantages of the hack. (tho i hear that a new hack happened recently on bnet.)

i might get back into it, depending on pricing. but only lightly at first till i'm certain it's hack resistant, and when wizards does find a hack, see if they will undo all the advantages.

wished they would just give u all the cards and pay a fixed price, like Anarchy Online. But that would kill their business model.

I remember selling this game when I ran a comic shop.. I hated listening to all the kids (though mostly it was the adults) crying about how they were losing... of course the other person always cheated...

 

[Kermy]

Wow people still play this? I remember playing it right before fourth edition came out. Then it got boring.

 

[Modeps]

this has definate potential, thats for sure. I played the beta last night and it was quite well done... much like actually playing magic, except its a lot stricter than friends. My only qualm is that once its P2P (pay for cards to play) will the price be the same as physically buying them? I sure hope not... they are selling digital representations of things that already exist, not a physical presence.

 

[Modeps]

I also find it funny how everyone thinks everyone else is cheating. If you know the rules, question their moves.

 

[Dark4ng3l]

Hmm I cant play right now it says th server is offline or something anyone else have this?

 

[Modeps]

yeah, it does that every once in a while... most likely doing updates and development seeing it IS a betatest.

I had to try it a few times, then it finally worked.

Probably had to deal with bandwith issues...
