Cotg Online

[wayne]

Hi

I just wanted to ask about cotg online. I have played gwf since 1992 but having time to play through all the history is now problematic. Cotg seems a good way of catching up from my point at 2091. What I wondered is does cotg online use the original charts when playing through the early years? Do charts (such as cruiserweight/gang interference/hurt referee) get added in line with the game years Tom introduced them? I'd want to play through as if realistically with rules added when they became available. Finding it hard to explain, but does that make sense?

As each story arc is uploaded to online, we also upload the handbook. So the handbook has the matches. nothing is stopping you from using the rules in the game table, the match just might not be available within the game table. The PBP Sim is a little different. the way it is setup right now, each special match needs to be coded into the system, so it is very time consuming, not to mention finding the correct location to perform checks.

Thanks for the quick response.

I am still not totally clear on cotg online. I'd like to play my fed as if using the cards (except it's easier and quicker on the computer). I'd like to be able to use the original charts released way back in 1987 (?) in the online version. I don't think updated charts were used til 2100 or something like that. Also can I have wrestlers at ringside / use managers to interfere etc like you would as if playing the original game with cards. Also if a feud match ends in doubles does the feud / injury table come into play.

If a wrestler is injured, are their stats tweaked like those in the injury table I think released in the original ringside companion?

Finally, do any of the above interferences/managwer interventions get disregard if you do the instant simulation of a match rather than play it through?

Thanks in advance,
Wayne

COTGonline is broken into two parts (three if you add Promoter Online which we just released last week on wednesday).

StatTracker - This is where you build your cards and rosters and can rank your wrestlers via a rankings committee. This will keep track of your history. This also includes a Play by Play Simulator which we try to add new stuff too as we get time. I believe the PBP Sim is using updated charts.

GameTable - This is an online version of the card and dice game. You can roll your matches as if you were sitting at the table. Some charts are available online, others you will need to reference. There is nothing stopping you from using the old charts vs the new ones. You will just need to reference the old ones offline for now.

One important note, you have to purchase the sets you want access to online. These are the only sets that show up in your "locker room".

that link should give you a good idea of how the gametable works.

That is perfect. Thank you very much for your response. I shall be subscribing to the service shortly on the basis of that.

Cheers

I was wondering if this set up can be used with LOW/LOTF?

the functionality will remain the same when Legends Online launches.
