Future Site: Plans for 2016 WRITTEN BY Aaron Lee

With the start of each new year millions will make new goals in hopes to change aspects of their lives or work towards some new item of worth to them. While millions will make goals roughly only 8%* of those people will reach their goals. As a company we make regular goals.We strive to continue to improve our site just like those who want to improve themselves.

Today’s article we want to talk about some of our goals we have for 2016. But before we do that we wanted to share some awesome facts about PucaTrade and 2015, none of which could have come to fruition without you, our amazing members.

2015 was a huge year for PucaTrade. In May of 2015, a year and a half since our launch, we hit 1 million trades. Just four months after that, in September, we hit 2 million trades. As of December 28, 2015 we reached 3 million trades. We are excited to see what 2016 brings, and what new cards come out.

PucaTrade is one of the first places where you can trade for the newest set. Check out some stats from each prerelease weekend since M15.The numbers below are trades initiated from the new set from Saturday - Thursday of each pre-release.

M15: 988 Trades

Khans: 1,606 Trades

Fate: 2,375 Trades

Dragons: 4,271 Trades

Origins: 8,104 Trades

Battle for Zendikar: 13,943 Trades

Zendikar Expeditions: 73 Trades

Oath of the Gatewatch will be available to trade January 16th.

Oath of the Gatewatch is just around the corner and we’re excited to see the number of trades continue to grow. We have a lot of goals. Some will see the light of day and others are ideas and aspirations that may not go anywhere but know that we are working tirelessly to make PucaTrade the best it can be and are always asking ourselves “how can PucaTrade be the best possible trading tool for our members?”

Our primary goal in 2016 is the release of Future Site. You can get glimpses of what is to come by going to: future.pucatrade.com. Future Site is a complete overhaul of not just visuals, but of tools, backend, and new content. With any new project it takes time and lots of testing. We want to make sure it is as perfect as it can be before we release.

Another one of our goals and constant struggle is with security, duplicate accounts and fraud in general. This is a constant but we are developing tools to help combat this now and for Future Site. Check out the Last Future Site article to learn more about what we're doing to protect our members: Future Site: Fighting Fraud

One of our long term goals is 1 million members. We have reached 100,000 and as new members continue to sign up we look forward to the next 900,000. We want to build a PucaTrade that knocks the socks off those next 900,000.

We have lots of ideas and features we want to add such as:

Native app development

Finder apps for Trades/players

API level pushes/export data portability

These are in the early development stages so time will tell if they grow into something. And if you have ideas or ways to make PucaTrade better let us know in the comments. Give us some lofty ideas of what you’d like to see PucaTrade accomplish!

While we continue to work on making PucaTrade the best it can be we want to let all our members know that without them none of this would be possible. Let’s make 2016 unforgettable!
