And yes I remember those days in school too, your allowance and paper route money didn't go far, however pen and paper gaming is a cheap hobby all things considered; cash outlay needed vs time enjoyed. I mean few books, pens, paper, dice, coloured pencils and your good to go, everything else is just nice to have. But a cheap cloud solution could just be a big winner. Just think free is too much to ask. |

I'm not asking for "Free" cloud storage... If I buy a digital product, I expect to be able to download it whenever I need to or want to. They don't have to put a full copy into everyone's cloud storage account, just a link to the storefront showing that you purchased the content and are entitled to download your clean copy (read unmodified copy). If you modify/customize your purchase and later on loose it due to some unforeseen event then you are S.O.L. in my opinion as far as the modifications/changes go if you don't have the cloud to sync up to and/or didn't back up your data. If you don't "Pay" for cloud storage you don't get to push things up to the cloud. But you should be able to pull down materials you purchased from LWD's storefront/exchange through a single mechanism which in my opinion would be the cloud. |

Copying content without the server carries with it some significant limitations. Copying an entire realm is quite doable. Copying subsets of content is significantly more complicated due to all the interconnections between things, so this is where the limitations will be incurred. The big complication is that anything that gets copies has to be done in a way that is 100% guaranteed to sync up to the server cleanly, and that's where the limitations will arise. You'll also see this as an option in the survey. Quote:
This is well outside the scope of what we're striving to do with Realm Works. It would entail many months of work and take us completely off-track from our other goals, so it's not something we'll be looking at doing. This set of features is specific to the cloud. |

Thanks for the response rob and everyone else.
1) -> Glad that the copying structure features will be generally available! I'm excited to fill out the survey. 2) -> Great 3) This is understandable. I also want to let you know that I would buy the cloud service, if would knew that any of my players would use it. But they are not very tech-friendly, so I would just synch data with myself, which defeats it's purpose |
