Hey folks, just wondering if there were any junkies like me here in the forum.

I just recently got sucked into it through pressure from various friends and then the server crashes for 4 days! Pretty bad service by any standard.

For those who don't know, I'm talking about the online version of Magic: the Gathering, where you pay money to buy virtual cards and play with them on their server. I must say when it works it's very nice to have the computer to keep track of the game for you, eliminating all rules questions. The thing that sucks is it seems the company can't or won't spend the money it takes to run a real online game, as evidenced by the instability of the system.

I know there are other Magic players here, are any of you online?
