I am building a realm that is filled with info and I want to make a duplicate of it so that once I am done with the core world subsequent changes don't change the core.
That way I can run multiple groups in the same game system using different versions of reality (Sheriff Jones may be dead in Earth 541, but not Earth 524). |

That is at present not a feature that is available.
This is my understanding of things: The Content Market is on its way (priority one for LWD at the moment). When the Content Market is fully rolled out it should be possible to: - Make a master realm. - Make a number of child realms that are exact copies of the master realm. - When changing something in a child realm only that one realm is affected. - When changing something in the master realm the change carries through to all child realms. That is my understanding - I might be wrong. So, you can not copy a realm yet, but eventually you will be able to. Vargr Deputy Calendar Champion Legend has it, that the Tarrasque is a huge fighting beast, perpetually hungry. Sleet entered History when he managed to get on the back of a Tarrasque only to be ridden out of History shortly after. Using Realm Works, Worldographer (Hexographer 2), LibreOffice, Daz3D Studio, pen & paper for the realm World of Temeon and the system LEFD - both homebrewed. |

So, you are saying, that in order to ever be able to copy my own content from one of my realms to another I need to pay for Cloud Service?

Inglorin, all 3 of your posts have been made to take shots at Realm Works... you know, there are a lot of great things in Realm Works right now; you should check it out and maybe try to be a bit more open minded. |

@Vargr's understanding of sharing material requiring a cloud subscription whether with others or yourself jives with what we've gathered over the years and has not been stated to be misunderstood. More information is likely coming soon but I would not be surprised to see this as a paid feature due to the need to use the cloud for transfer. Indeed, I would be shocked if a subscription wasn't required.

To expand on Vargr's post...
It is my understanding that the Content Market will be rolled-out in phases. It is not clear what phase will include copying your own Realm. It is not known how many phases there will be. The functionality for copying your own Realm is the same functionality needed for distribution of purchased content from the Content Market (so that's why they are linked). Creating a Realm requires that it be done on the remote Server as part of the operation.. this would remain true even if the Realm is a copy of another one. So the copying operation will require access to the Server (note: this is NOT saying Cloud Service is required). |

The Cloud Service FAQ answers part of this (assuming nothing changes):

I have no idea exactly how the cloud service will work subscription wise and for what exactly it will be required. However, I believe that in order to make the information/update between the realms work it has to go through the servers at LWD, where it will be decided what parts will have to be copied, what parts deleted and what parts changed. It is my impression that this takes place on the servers (or in a cooperation between the servers and the clients). I am probably halfway right, halfway wrong on this. Whether this will require a subscription or not I guess we will have to wait and see. Vargr Deputy Calendar Champion Legend has it, that the Tarrasque is a huge fighting beast, perpetually hungry. Sleet entered History when he managed to get on the back of a Tarrasque only to be ridden out of History shortly after.

About taking the shots or being positive: There is not much I can do about this at the moment, can I? They are making it extremely hard for anyone to take the "communications" seriously. I'd rather be cynical than an apologist (sp?). I am not being paid enough for that. |
