So, no more attempts to release just the withe monarchs?
Definitely never said that - this is just an opportunity to get something amazing -
extra - FREE - with our six new releases on Friday. Think of it as an extra gift, free, no additional charge. There will definitely be opportunities to get some of these in the future via other means and contests, but they are rare, and they were intended to be limited.

Our team is more qualified than any other company in magic to meet and beat any technical challenge that comes our way. We have in the past, and we will again. We manage and oversee digital development for The United States Playing Card Company in Cincinnati, as well as our own systems. We have dedicated, extremely savvy developers on staff, but man oh man, handling 50 to 100,000 requests per minute is no simple task. We amplified our servers 500%, and the enormous demand still crushed our systems. To get technical, every iota of data was cached in memory on maxed out servers pushing 8 CPU's and 12GB of RAM a piece, delivered over a secure cloud infrastructure with all static content served over CDN and Amazon S3 origins.
So yes - we were prepared, but not enough. As with any website, technical problems have come up and will again. What matters most is what happens in response, and our team has been working nonstop over the past two weeks to identify and resolve these issues to ensure it does not happen again. Of course, I do apologize for those issues coming up, and our team was extremely frustrated as well. We're committing to making things right, and our event this Friday (for 12 full hours) is a small part of that promise.
