Magic Online - Gathering Fans?

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to the Wired News article discussing the relative success of Magic: The Gathering Online. According to the article: "They said that it couldn't and shouldn't be done.. but a year after the online game's launch - and a decade after the original Magic craze began - more than 100,000 players have registered for the Internet edition.. and almost 40 million digital cards have been traded." The piece also discusses the pro players available to duel with online "..it's like having Allen Iverson or Latrell Sprewell hanging out at your neighborhood playground, always ready for a quick game of one-on-one."

You know, in playing MTGO, I've found that there are surprisingly few foul-mouthed brats. This really blew me away, since game shops tend to be populated by some of the most obnoxious punk-ass kids I've ever met.
