anyone else wishing they had the exerience to put forward for head of OP or is that just one of my odities again?

Edit - I'm really liking the information thats flowing both ways with these guys.
Things really are looking up for the TCG, now to get conf for mini's and get the same Tie-ins the US have over here in euroland

Pleased to see the announcement, waiting with interest to see how their volunteer program evolves and whether they continue to support non-hobby store playgroups.

they have a dedicated manager to handle there volunteers. There will be a judge system in place once again.

I can't see them not supporting us when they hit the european market otherwise there Euro market will just collapse

Yeah it seems obvious to us but companies have made worse decisions! I'm hopeful it's just general American rhetoric.

CZ really seem on the ball if i'm honest.
They know there playerbase, they know what people are expecting of them and they're being really communicative.
They've already stated that they will keep crafting redemption, old cards will be legal but will require sleeves. ECC's are going to be announced shortly.
Edit -

What we've learnt so far -
European continentals will be happening in summer (in france)
Crafting Redemption will still happen.
Battlegrounds will be back.
Core is here to stay. (ECC's will be core, Worlds will be classic)
UDE carsd will be legal provided they are in sleeves.

anything else as it happens!

Aye it's all looking good so far.

This new company is Blizzard just without the name. Corey Jones heading it is great. I am chuffed they have taken on baord all the comments from everyone and the communication thus far is great. If they keep this up they might just repair the damage. Loving the idea of a ECC, just hope its over dates I can personally attend

I love the game, and the thought of actually playing it for the first time when it isn't being actively mis-managed is quite exciting - can't wait for things to get up and running. It's great news.

Good to see you back on the boards matt, we missed you at the open...

Yes, sorry, I missed your call as I was on a train and then life got in the way a bit that weekend so I couldn't make it. Bit of a bummer.

Glad the game is back on track though, cannot wait to play, it's been way too long! I will pop up to Aldershot in the near future.
