[QUOTE="Asmor, post: 4246802, member: 1154"] I was actually pretty happy with Magic Online up until recently. It was stagnating, but it did what it needed to do. I've only used 3.0 once since it came out, but I just can't bring myself to start Magic Online again. It's just that bad. I realize you can't really judge a new UI from one use, but man, it left an absolutely terrible first impression, and I was really looking forward to it. As far as Gleemax, I was always pretty cynical about it. As has been noted, WotC has in the past done websites right, so I didn't expect much technical troubles; it just seemed incredibly pretentious and overarching. Looking back, I don't know why exactly I felt that way. <shrug> The thing that really grates on me is the redesign of the D&D website. I thought their last design was great, and I hate this new one. It's usable, but the last design seemed eminently more so. I'm still optimistic for the D&D Insider, specifically the tools for creating your character's appearance and character sheet. I'll consider it nothing short of a miracle if the Virtual Tabletop is both available and working as promised before 2009. Mark my words, they'll screw it up. [/QUOTE]
