Massive Magic = MMOCG

Nov 15, 2001 11:30pm CST tags: MMO, RPG News
So everyone pretty much agreed that when Verant announced they were going to be doing a Star Wars MMORPG, when that game is completed a notable percentage of all computer geeks around the world will most likely disappear. What's gonna happen to the rest? They are gonna be playing the Magic: The Gathering MMOCG game being developed by Leaping Lizard Software. How the hell do you turn a card game in to a MMOCG?

Most of you will at least be familiar with the name if not the game itself, but the big news here is that Wizards of the Coast is making it even more accessible than it has ever been. They've been thinking about this one for quite a while now and have been in development for almost two years and come next year will be unleashing Magic Online upon the world. While the online version of the game isn't going to change anything drastically from what everyone knows and loves about the game, it is going to make it a lot easier to play for those that have found themselves wandering from the flock due to lack of competitors.

Yeah.. not quite sure how that one is gonna work out.
