I just read over at ICv2 that Gleemax, WotC’s ambitious social-networking/hobby gaming site, will be shut down sometime in September. The announcement was made by Randy Buehler, WotC’s VP of Digital Games.
Wizards of the Coast has made the decision to pull down its Gleemax social networking site in order to focus on other aspects of [...]
In case you missed it, I mentioned last April 16 that MtGO v3 (Magic: The Gathering Online III) has left beta and gone live! Well… sort of. Worth Wollpert mentioned that they intentionally didn’t announce the launch date so as to prevent a huge influx of players that might bog down the system. Looking at [...]

Finally, Magic: The Gathering Online III is now in Open Beta! No need for a Fileplanet account for this phase! It started around 2007.07/31, but I noticed it just now.
As part of the open beta, they are supposedly testing the New Account Creation system, so the MtGO v3 launchblog has instructions on how [...]

Magic: The Gathering Online (MtGO) made a deal with FilePlanet to host the MtGO III beta, and FilePlanet is giving it’s [...]
I was planning on writing some nonsense about sarsaparilla yesterday afternoon, but it got bumped out of my schedule. Turns out, aside from the other stuff I’ll mention, it kept nagging me. So now, I’ll mention it: I tried a bottle of some healthy version of sarsaparillas (root beer) from a health store [...]
I think a lot of Magic: The Gathering Online (MtGO) players have been waiting for this update. Unfortunately, form the looks of the blog entry linked by the article, they still have quite a few issues to fix. That’s fine with me, better to make sure you deploy a good working version than [...]
When you start dreaming of adding counters to your thallids to create saprolings, thereby triggering the pumps in your Herd-Gnarrs, it might mean that you’re hooked. It might. Or perhaps you’re really just into thallids right now, like you were into Pokemon some years ago. Either way, I can’t sleep. It’s [...]
I already mentioned in a previous post that Magic: The Gathering is widely regarded as a well designed game. I’ve tried it before, but an average Philippine student’s allowance just can’t properly keep up with the game’s costs. Now, however, I can afford to get myself into it a bit.
