Not all of us are happy with Magic Online.
That's fair to say, right?
A lot of people are very, very unhappy with Magic Online. Today's announcement won't help.
As of today, we are still not ready to return Pro Tour-linked premier play toĀ Magic Online, and will not be hosting any PTQ or MOCS finals events through the qualifier season for Pro TourKhans of Tarkir
Woah, what? No MOCS or PTQs? Why would anyone play MODO?
We remain deeply invested in bringing these events back and continue to troubleshoot blocking issues. Maintaining the link between face-to-face and onlineĀ MagicĀ is incredibly important to us, and we want to return these events toĀ Magic OnlineĀ as badly as you all want them back.
OK, so they clearly understand that the events are important.
For everyone who has earned 35 or more QPs in each of the first six MOCS seasons, over the next couple months, we will be running no-charge MOCS-related appreciation events.
This is not great news for people who play Magic Online, but at least they aren't prematurely launching an inferior, broken product, so they have that going for them, I guess.
Too bad MODO is the only place I can realistically get into playing Legacy :/

I see what you did there.
What link between online and paper? The one where after a few years of fuck ups we might get a tournament series on MTGO that allows you to qualify for a paper tournament where you get to repurchase all your cards to participate? Exciting!

I’m still waiting for a Mac client so I at least try Magic Online.

Had an account years ago on my laptop PC, until the cheap plastic screen dryed and broke. Got a mac afterward – no more MTGO. Running it on VirtualBox or Wine is even crappier than the original.
For many years, MTGO is getting negative feedback all the time, wherever I look.
Even worse than the inferior product is the fact that they give the image that they are ignoring all feedback!
Maybe they should focus less on GUI and more on functionality. They don’t need to update the way the client looks. Mac/Linux users would flock in droves if they updated to a compatible version. They have been making the newer version with the hopes in accommodating more users. I don’t think they need to update the GUI quite as much as they did for those kinds of fixes. Give me 1990’s looking software that actually works over modernized looks without functionality any day.
