Hero Lab Online Pathfinder Original

No empirical data on my end...

But, from Facebook groups that I'm in for both Pathfinder and PF 2e, roughly half the people liked PF2e and half did not.
Not sure if that will translate to a percentage that crosses to the new version and a percentage that does not.

A significant number will not be moving to PF 2e, our group included.

Lone Wolf is the best product on the market for Hero Lab classic (awesome job Lone Wolf, we absolutely love HL/RW).

It would be amazing to have the added tools of HLO with the resources of HLC.
 
I'd like to believe they will but Lone Wolf is horrible when it comes to keeping their customer base updated on the progress with their products.

The reason why I keep asking is that I have a couple friends who want to buy Hero Lab but I don't think it would be worth it for them to plug a crap ton of money into HeroLab classic and then soon after have to pay for porting their owned data sets over to Hero Lab online.

Of course they aren't. They are all at GenCon.

They'll announce when they've got anything else to say about more game systems.

There is only a small-ish charge ($25?) to transfer a game system (when they implement it), so in the mean time your players would have access to HLC until it becomes available in HLO.

I think they also said that this transfer fee includes 6 months of server access too ($12 value).

Ok. But thats throwing $25 away. Thats access to a book or two.
 
I've purchased several HLC games/datasets - Pathfinder 1, Call of Cthulhu, Shadowrun, Savage Worlds (via the Authoring Kit). Will the $25 transfer fee cover all of these or do I have to pay $25 for each game?
 
The plan is to offer a migration of all your content over to Hero Lab Online. Migration will incur a nominal, flat charge, to set up your account with the appropriate content, which we anticipate will be less than $20 dollars. This amount will be the same, regardless of how many game systems and add-ons you own. It will also include 6 months of server access ($14.99 value) as a thank you for supporting us in the past.
 
@LJ: Migration has been promised for a long time.... is there a roadmap, ETA, or any idea at all about when some of these promises will be fulfilled?
This year, next year, or sometime in the next decade? HL users would appreciate a realistic look forward, not a "we should have it by X quarter" that passes without comment.

Agreed!

Hello all, this is going to happen just as soon as we can work out the logistical issues. This may take a very long time, or it might be a shorter job than we think. It's just not possible to put a specific date, or even quarter, on this. Sorry for the frustration. We're working as hard as we can. Thank you for being patient.
 
Thanks LJ... I asked because LW had already announced (in this thread) that we would have Pathfinder 1 for HLO by second quarter 2019.
 
So if you can't put a solid release date on Pathfinder 1st edition for Hero Lab online, then can you give us a % of how complete the 1st edition transfer is?
 
This is me just guessing, but I can't imagine that LW would completely rework all the material from Classic from scratch, but rather use the original work and have the Online version adapt it. If they have to convert all the data without some sort of conversion, PF1 is never getting done.

With the base programming for Pathfinder 2.0 already done, how difficult would it be to tweak it to work with Pathfinder 1.0?
