It is on an alltime high. Never it has sold better, had wider acceptence or more players. Just try to go to a local store on prerelease. In my town you have to reserve seats so you can participate... :) MTG-Online is a different thing. It looks very outdated and old, but still is good fun to play. I always draft new upcoming editions. The things is, most cards from your aera are pretty much worthless nowadays (beside some exceptions), when it comes to value and playability. Still they have great artwork and i love them.(Specially Stronghold, weatherlight, Mirage and Iceage) I kept all my cards since i was a child and i still meet old freinds every 4 weeks for some rounds of EDH.
