I’m too tired to write a post tonight so I’m sharing a little Magic the Gathering goodness to those who would like to play for free (I think you need to have a Magic Online 2,5 account though).
Magic Online players,
We’re hoping that you, along with thousands of other MOL players across the globe can help us with the next phase of our beta testing for MOL V3. The latest build (1.80) has just been deployed, with lots of new features. If it’s been a while since you’ve logged onto the latest version, please consider joining us for the next round of stress testing. We ask that if you have a current version of the beta installed, you delete all your Magic Online III related files and do a clean install, for those of you who haven’t tried it out yet, download the free client from the link provided below.
On Thursday evening January 31, between 2pm and 6pm Pacific time is your chance to help us load test the current client and play lots of free Magic in the process! We want at least 1000 people, and we need ALL of you to help us get there!
What’s in it for you? Free Magic! Premier Events will be our focus this time around, and we’ll have them running 24/7. For the entire time the beta is running, you will be allowed to play for free, and you will be provided with free product, which you will be able to get from the online store that is newly integrated into the client.
Just open the client, poke around, and play Magic until you drop! No money is required, this is a completely FREE test. Lots of formats of PE’s will be made available.
All 2.5 accounts that exist as of 3 weeks ago should work correctly. If you’ve changed your password in that time, please use the old one, or use the Magic Online III system to make a new one.
There will be lots of WotC staff and adepts on to help you and answer questions.
Please visit our forums to discuss your experiences on the beta, or just chat about MOL in general, here.

Thanks for your help. We are excited about releasing Magic Online III when it’s ready and giving our customers the best online Magic playing experience possible.
This means free Drafts and free sealed decks. I’ve been a Beta Tester for some time now (I just don’t have time to play much) and it’s worth it. So give it a try.
I was in the original Magic Online beta and played, well, almost all drafts. (Though using the winnings, I built myself a kickass Odyssey-era deck that I enjoyed quite a bit and played through some tournaments with it.)
I may dive into this Beta, since I loved playing so much. I swear, Wizards has it nailed: get free beta testing, AND get people hooked.
It’s perfect practice for the Great Blogging Draft tournament of GenCon!
I’m so going to kick you guys’ butts! 🙂
(Mainly because Yan won’t show up)
Awesome! I’ll check it out hopefully soon. Can’t wait for us to jumpstart ‘Angels of Woe’!! YEAH!!!
