..pretty good. We had a few dozen folks visit /fnmo throughout the day. Dragonmage65 hosted the earlier trivia events which went well (hourly trivia related to Magic/MTGO/WOTC).
Later when I logged in at 4:55 PM Pacific - we got 4 rounds of Magic related trivia and prizes (thank you MirrorMage for your donations!) and then I hosted a Paupers 2hg Classic with a twist (only Cranial Plating was restricted, rares/uncs banned, artifact lands no restrictions).
We had 7 players so I joined in. Two tables for round one and the 2nd round had the winning team from each table face off.
It went well, people had fun and we're going to do more next week (6/22/2007) in /join FNMO.
Hope to see you there

If you are new to MTGO - a few suggestions
I constantly see the following:
And here is what I recommend:
Actually with the 9.99 you get as a coupon - you can get started in MTGO - in PDC.
What's PDC? Thats Pauper Deck Challenge, 100% commons gaming.
You could take your 9.99 coupon and buy 9 Event Tickets (we call them TIX in MTGO). Thats the MTGO world currency.
Use the event tickets and buy bulk commons, uncommons, rares from traders/sellers/etc:
Bulk commons run about 128 per tix.
Bulk uncommons run 20-32 per tix.
Bulk rares run 3-6 per tix.
Chase cards (Terminate, Eternal Witness, Wrath of God as examples) cost more. Check websites for values .
Getting into MTGO via commons gives you an inexpensive way to test the waters.
If you need some help with commons or land see me in game (tharionwind) and we'll help you get started.

..Once I have the software installed, and when/if I shell out the $9.99, how should I get started?"

MTGO survived Future Sight release events.
...With only one major crash and some lag occasionally. There are some good commons in the set and for the block PDC looks to be gaining some interesting tech.
I participated in one FUT release league event - went 1-4. So goes my rust - I needed some WD40 to clear it out. The league games got me back into tech and building decks.
I look forward to 10th coming out and will be posting some stuff as I find out if any chase commons are in the base 10th set (sometimes, rarely, sorry for the pun).
Serious concerns about whats going on in MTGO - but overall things were decent during the release events.
