Signed up for a trial account, this is pretty neat stuff. My question: Is this subscription similar to something like EQ where if it lapses I can't access anything anymore, or does it just not give access to the StatTtracker and GameTable?

I don't know much about EQ so it's hard for me to compare, but yes, you've got have an active subscription to either the Game Table or the Stat Tracker to access your stuff.
Of course in the terms of downloadable sets (like aCe 2121 or the POW packages), those can be saved to your harddrive and printed at any time.

Figured I would go ahead and use this existing thread to ask a few questions. I'm trying to research on whether or not to set my aCe fed up with ONLINE.
1. I have already bought the ALL CENTRA ENTERTAINMENT set via printable PDF. If I decide to go ONLINE do I need to purchase the aCe set again? or just the game table and stat tracker?
2. Are rankings, card results, etc. printable?
3. Will all my data (rankings, results, etc.) be secure? As in, has anybody lost all their data for any reason? Should I keep paper backups of all my info just in case?
Thanks for any help in advance.

1. I have already bought the ALL CENTRA ENTERTAINMENT set via printable PDF. If I decide to go ONLINE do I need to purchase the aCe set again? or just the game table and stat tracker? Strictly speaking from a technical standpoint, yes, you'd have to buy the actual Digital Set to get access to aCe in the Game Table or Stat Tracker. 2. Are rankings, card results, etc. printable? Everything's printable, since it's all spit out in the internet browser of your choice. At this time, however, the only thing that you can get a printer friendly version of with all of the graphics and color stripped away are card results, so for other things you'd be best served by copying them and pasting them into a word processor before printing. 3. Will all my data (rankings, results, etc.) be secure? As in, has anybody lost all their data for any reason? Should I keep paper backups of all my info just in case? I run a backup of the COTGonline database daily Monday through Friday and a backup of the backup to an external drive once a week. So to totally lose everything, one of two things would have to happen: our server, my laptop, and my backup drive would all have to fail simultaneously or Terre Haute, Indiana (where I live and where the company that hosts the server is located) would have to get wiped off of the map. Let your opinion on the likelihood of either of those two things happening be the deciding factor in whether or not you want to keep paper backups. I'm just here to give facts. ;D |
