hehehe, it's been a long time, hasn't it? I'm sorry my friend, but I'm done with Wow. Thanks for the nostalgia boost though. I think I'll be browsing this website for a bit. I have very fond memories of SWC.

Well if it's not too much trouble would you mind if the carried the torch on if you are done for good? We have a market soon and would be a great time to re-launch it again.

Go for it! It's quite a lot of work though, but good luck!

Excellent! How dis you go about it? How did you form the cards? Just trying to think back Carlousxzan 08:21, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

Tutorial:

1. First you create all the cards you like to have in production. They were "Book" items so people could read the back of the card which held interesting info about that card. I had a few diffrent sets (Set of Heroes for example) In one of these sets you make 1 blue card, 3 green and 7 white. The look of the item is important. So try not making the names too long. I myself didn't add a quote to most card. Though you can do this instead of making them into books if you prefer.

2. Creating booster packs. Once you filled up your bags with card, it's now time to make booster packs. There's an option which allows you to spawn items if clicked. Simply pick a picture you think looks like a booster pack, allow it to spawn a certain amount of cards (I think I had 3 cards per pack). Make sure you make lots of diffrent packs, so people won't always get the same cards.

3. Advertisement and marketing. One of my favorite things to do back then. Make lots of stuff for the people to collect. Starter sets, badges you could equip which would show what level you were, magazines and the like. Also make sure people know about it. I advertised by giving away samples during markets and even had the Quill & Cobblestones (remember them?) give away sample packs (1 card) during their newspaper rounds.

4. Watermark. Make sure people can't make their own copy of cards. Make sure all GHI items you make for Mystic Deck have the same "Made by " watermark in the bottom.

5. Keep at it. It can get boring or demotivating when there's no one who plays it, but make sure you offer a reliable service, be always polite and treat the customer as king.

Extra note: Other then a collectable card game, it was also a game you could play in pubs and the like. This is done with /roll 1-10 and you have to try and get 21 points. (Not sure if you remember the game, but if not I'll explain you the basic rules)

Players take diffrent turns. Each turn they /roll 1-10 and count up their scores. They have to try and get as close to 21 as possible, but can't go over it or they lose. When you're (for example) on 19 points. You can choose to "Halt!" You will no longer draw cards now and won't run the risk over getting more then 21 points. However you do take the risk of letting your opponent get 20 or 21 points. This game can be played with a lot of people at the same time, so invite random people over in taverns to join in and make new friends. Remember to call it Mystic Deck and that way you're also promoting your trading card game.
