    Apprentice.

    On IRC - (Efnet), #mtg, #apprentice, #mtgireland (sometimes).

    Theres also an Irish clan on magic online with all the Irish players in it.

    Definitely Apprentice, imho.

    Much higher player base.

    just out of curiosity, does anyone know how to play creatures face down in apprentice without showing ur opponent what it is? i cant seem to find how to do it, with the result that i play the thing face up and then turn it face down, allowing my opponent to se exactly what i played. es muy annoying

    Funky worked out a good trick, just leave it in your hand and put down a counter

    Hold shift & drag the card to the board. It comes into play face down.

    That works for most things too.

    If you hold shift & select the draw button, you can choose how many cards you draw.

    If you hold shift & select the plus or minus to life, you can choose how much life you lose.

    Experiment with it, tis pretty useful :)

    If memory serves me right, you unzip the .zip file to your main Apprentice folder. All the compressed files will go to the correct sub-folders themselves.

    I need some help on Magic Online.

    I recently changed from a "dail up" BB connection to an always on Conection.
    Now whenever I try to log in to MOL I get the "Your not connected" error.

    Does anyone know why this is happening?

    Well, based on no other info, apart from these few nuggets, I'm just gonna have a guess and say its probably due to your dsl modem/router not forwarding the right ports for MOL.

    Try magic online tech support :p

    Or you could try googling for details on how to set up port forwarding with your router. Or contact your ISP.

    OR you could try http into your router. You do this by opening your internet browser and typing in the ip of your router. Usually its something like 192.168.0.1 so type http://192.168.0.1

    Then enter your username and password and look for a portforwarding tab.

    Now you need to know what port to open for magic online, you could google, ask someone or open the command prompt. Then open Magic online and try to connect to the server. Next alt & tab to the command prompt and run netstat to see what ports are being used by what programs. Your firewall program may help you figure it out either.

    Anyway, use the port number and tell the modem/router to forward any connections on the magic online port to your ip. You can find your ip by opening the command prompt and typing in ipconfig.

    Now, how to tell your modem/router to forward any connections on the magic online port to your ip, depends on your router. I suggest contacting google, if you have any problems.

    ...well, you did say you had no idea ;)

    Btw, by following these instructions you have agreed to a legally binding contract where you pay me €250 for services rendered*.

    From what I can see Apprentice and MWS have kinda gone down hill since this time last year. Magic Online seems to be the big dawg now.

    MagicWorkstation is still quite popular and since Detonator released the latest version it's far easier to get connected to games.

    Obv. it's never going to be able to compete with the technical sophistication of MODO but hey, it's free! :)

    hey all, new to this forum so sry if i miss some kind of etiquette or grammer :)

    i play alot of online magic, magic-league.com is a gr8 site for Apprentice, MWS and Netdraft. (a program that lets u draft for free) and also holds regular tournaments and masters, prizes from masters include store credit on some card site, i think its magicarsenal or something the like.

    i play mtgo for the multiplayer games, 6person ffa's are awesome and worth the money, u dont have to pay subscription, just buy cards like in irl.

    plus online cards are way cheaper than irl, granted they arnt real cards but u use them alot more and theres a lot more ppl to play (hundreds in fact)
