I'm a newbieee

OK, so Í've installed Apprentice, figured out how to play it, downloaded the patches (although the latest Planar Chaos patch has a lot of mistakes - 'sweep the araba' should be 'charge across the araba'), and made a couple of decks for goldfishing.

Now I want to play online, and there is a nice little button entitled 'chat & play room'. Thus, I click, and try to connect. It doesn't, and near the top of the screen is stated I should follow the link and download Java. I did so, tried, and failed, restarted my computer, retried... and failed.

Could anyone explain to me what is the problem, and how it can be solved?

Thanks in advance,

I suggest.... you download mIRC
www.mirc.com
THEN
Open mIRC and click the server link at the top of this website.

Thanks, now I have mIRC and opened it, but still don't know what to do next. I have a screen with 'name' and 'nickname' and such, I filled it in and clicked 'new server' or something, and now I got a screen where I can type, but the only message I get is 'you are not on a channel'. I've understood there are certain commands that let you join a channel, correct? Also, after the 30-day trial must I pay 20 to use it? I thought it was free (I'm not allowed to buy anything off the Internet Sad

)

Thanks in advance,

You can find the guides to all this in the "Guides" section.

Thanks all, I will try

I also have a question about Magic WorkStation (MWS): How does it work? I start it, and it starts loading crapcards with +5 tower and 3 damage to opponant's legions and nonsense like that... can I delete it? Can I use it to play with decks? Are the cards free? Are all the cards (or at least, those of Standard) included?

Thanks in advance,

I tried the guide but I can only see half of it... can't scroll sideways, for some stupid reason.
