[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 5344826, member: 2067"] For the record, moving MB or CB to be internet-based would seem to me, at first grok, to be narmed. They don't seem to be broken as-is, so I would wonder what WotC would have to gain from that. "Piracy" has always been a non-starter on a reason because, no matter what, there will always be people copying and pasting your data outside of your wall. Always. Taking reasonable precautions is sensible, but investing time and effort in hare-brained, consumer-hurting schemes designed to wall off piracy simply makes you look foolish and gives your customers reason to resent you (when they should be your biggest fans!). Unless the CB/MB level of piracy is severely catastrophic, I can't see them gaining anything big from the move. Of course, I could be wrong. But given that the CB and the MB work fine as they are, my first guess is that this is some new suite, some part of Adventure Tools or DDI that makes the most sense (and is the most useful) on the web, away from the actual game table of most players. What that might be, I haven't the foggiest, but I trust 'em. ;) That said, I just really want Essentials and Dark Sun stuff in the CB. That's the big thing I've been waiting for since those products were announced. I'm not going to pull my sub or anything over it (yet), but it's really important to me that I can use the new material in a timely fashion. [/QUOTE]
