[QUOTE="Darkthorne, post: 5381504, member: 60783"] I'm was a yearly subscriber that shut off my auto-renew in the past couple of weeks. Most of my use was the cb, the new one was promised to be updated in Oct, which is wasn't. It was being canned instead. They then started to sell us on the "new and shiney" version that was to be better and faster. Not only have I yet to see either, I'm given the exact opposite. Even if it runs near 98%, it's no longer user friendly like the discontinued one was (summaries & the like, ability to use offline if no internet connection as I may not be playing at my home and my current guy may die in the middle of a session). To use this version I need to have my character planned out to begin with on paper or somewhere else. If it's already somewhere else what value add is WOTC giving me with this program? Now after everyone goes nuts over the release of this product WOTC comes along and goes "Look at this new shiney over here" being the VTT. A stage magician does the same thing, it's called a distraction. While I may pay to see a magician for entertainment & misdirection that is not what I gave money to WOTC for. If WOTC wants my money they need to seriously wow me, not the same old same old. WOTC needs to provide programs that seriously impress me, so that I can overlook what I see as a bait & switch. (not saying that was their intention, but that is my perception) People can disagree with me & think it's not a big deal which is fine, but do you want to pay for my subcription for me? :p [/QUOTE]
