Number of players?
Does anyone know the # of players on MTGO? --Garric 00:48, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
- I worked on MTGO (2002-March 2004), and in March 2004 they had about 120,000 registered accounts. some of these were inactive, some were created for the sole purpose of credit card fraud, and many people owned several accounts as a way to better manage their virtual card collections (since accounts themselves are free; only the cards cost money). So the exact number of players on MTGO is unknowable, even by WotC itself.

Down Times
Shouldn't we add something about the infamous downtimes that MTGO constantly suffers? Also, is there anything about version 3.0 we can go ahead and add?--Bedford 01:17, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
Version 3.0 Info
I added info on version 3.0, or Magic Online III, as WotC seems to want to call it. More information at http://pc.ign.com/articles/691/691016p1.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.4.53.156 (talk) 20:34, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
Physical card trade in?
I used to be a big MTGO player, but lost interest after a while. There used to be a policy that you could trade in a full set of online cards for a full set of physical cards. Is that policy still in effect? Is it limited to certain sets? For instance, are older sets such as Invasion still supported? Seems like there could be a section to address these issues.

Ownage
I've read somewhere (mtgnews.com) that you don't actually "own" the digital cards, like you do the physical cards in real life. If something happens to the cards, Wizards does not need to do anything about them; since you had never "owned" these cards in the first place. Can someone maybe add this into the article?
What happened?
This article reports that MTGO will be released on Fall of 2006, and the beta in Summer of 2006. However, from the looks of the latest video at the Penny Arcade Expo (with an interview with one of the developers), it was mentioned that we should expect the beta to be released in January or February of 2007 -- 3 months prior to the release of the actual game; so the actual launch will be in the first half of 2007! This is MUCH later than what had been reported at Wizards.com, or what this Wiki article states. How can that be? It went from being released this Fall (2006), to Summer or maybe even Fall of 2007? That's almost a year jump -- a year in difference! What happened?
