  3. Awesome! I was worried this site was dying, so I’m very happy to see lots of stuff is going on behind the scenes =)

    Can’t wait to see it come to fruition!

  4. I can ensure you that we are everything but dying. In fact I wish we had more people to handle all the projects we are working on. Especially the beginners guide is huge and requires a lot of work.
    Meanwhile feel free to browse past content and test our Academy_QuizBot :-)

  6. Thanks for the update and congrats on your success allowing you to continue to grow. I do look forward to the return of more content, but it is good to know that things were happening in the interim.

  7. Glad to hear what your all up to. I knew you were doing something but, wasn’t sure what. Now that I know its a BOT I think I’ll try out the quiz bot.

  8. Taking volunteers? If you need help editing the guide for grammar/syntax/spelling/content I believe I could be of service. Feel free to contact me if so. Thanks for the update.

  9. Nice update of things to come, really interested to check out the QuizBot to see what kind of things your working on.
    Good plan with your bot’s, having and knowing the right way to modify them as you want will really help.

  10. I couldn’t trade with the Quizbot, but I like the idea and hope for smoother sailing in the future!

    More content is always good — especially videos, I really think there’s a lot of room for video content. It’s popular on other sites and could be a real big draw for MTGO Academy. Also, hint hint — where’s the Limited Resources vids at?!?

    Keep it up!

  11. i used the quizbot its a very nice idea but when i tried trading with the quizbot as soon as i typed done it kicked me out

  12. Hello,

    be aware of the fact that the bot has a time limit. If you are spending to much time it will kick you out and you can try next week again. It announces the time left but I witnessed several instances where people where simply ignoring it or reacting to late. Thanks for the comments so far.

  14. Hello,

    @fifthchild: The Bug that causes that you could not trade with the quizbot in the past should be fixed in the meantime (the bot had problems with some specific MTGO usernames – it was an OCR thing and we are happy that we could discover such issues while in BETA).

    If you have further problems and discover any bugs, please report it to us! So we have the change to perform better :-).

    And if you had any problems in the past, don’t hesitate to try it again later. We are constantly working on all known bugs.

  15. Glad to see that the behind-the-scenes stuff is moving the site forward. Keep up the good work.

  16. Just tried the quiz bot, got the answer right chose 4 cards and had more than a minute left in trade time, still told me that I ran out of time in second trade confirmation screen.

  17. @Insane Pete: According to our log the timeout happend exactly after 5 minutes. During the confirmation process (after the “done”) the timer is stopped but it is possible that your clock run out exactly at the moment you typed “done” and the timeout process was initiated. Sorry for the issue.
    Best way to prevent it – stay comfortably withing the time limit and try again next week :-)

  18. I am new to mtgo, I came to this site and watched most of your videos. They were very helpful and now that you are bolstering up the content for beginners I feel it would provide a very much needed building block to help them feel competent playing from the get go. Thanks again and I am looking forward to seeing new projects!

  20. Used the quiz bot, answered my question, and got some decent cards. Nothing fantastic, but I suppose people beat me to it. Can’t wait for the content to come back in full swing :)

  21. @ Muthy: We are refilling the bot regularly with rares, uncommons, and commons. Obviously due to the high popularity the really good stuff goes fast.
