Worth Wollpert, Executive Producer for Magic Online, announced the suspension of premier play events after a recent string of issues disrupted the Season 12 MOCS Championship as well as a PTQ for Born of the Gods.
I wanted to take a moment to personally apologize for the issues on Magic Online over the past couple of days, especially with regard to the premier-level events. It's not acceptable for your experience with Magic Online to be anything less than ideal, and we recognize that the system has been having performance issues for quite some time now. As a longtime Magic player myself, who spent many years on the Pro Tour, I understand that we need to deliver a world-class tournament experience. We have fallen down on that, and we are going to fix it.
Because of these issues and your feedback, we are suspending all Daily Events, Premier Events, PTQs, and MOCS events on Magic Online beginning with tomorrow's downtime.
