Fledgling Fyora forever_disenchanted Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 i guess its the one in the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 To register, you have to buy the game from Spiderweb Software. You send them the code in the game, and they then send you the registration code which will unlock the full game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Aran Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Leaving us to wonder: What would be the point of a registration where the code you need to enter is displayed right next to the field, for free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 How on earth would entering a code you already have give Spiderweb any additional information about the fact that you want updates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 It could conceivably be some ill-conceived and unnecessary CAPTCHA. —Alorael, who can actually think of many uses for entering the number in a field. They just aren't uses that wouldn't be better served by entering something else or, in most cases, pressing a button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Okay, but what does entering the number have to do with that? You could also just hit the "Check for Updates" button like in just about every other program with that feature. —Alorael, who is also pretty sure that charging for updates and only working with an internet connection are frequent deal-breakers. Spiderweb doesn't have so many customers that it start alienating them wholesale. That's probably while Irony Central doesn't get big links all over the Spiderweb site.

Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Free registration to game work longer than 2 weeks and updates (extra scenarios, areas etc) are charged. I know Spidweb ain't big enough to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I can't quite parse that sentence, but I still don't see what entering an obvious code would add to that. It still seems like any default features should just be available and any add-on features could be activated either over the internet or by entering a code generated from the serial/registration number. That's exactly the system that Jeff's games already use. —Alorael, who can even see thinking of BoA as a small game (Valley of Dying Things) that's automatically registered. You pay extra for the scenario editor and access to other scenarios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Wiz Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I think there was a confusion over the term registration initially. There are certain software which require you to register as a customer on their website to get additional benefits like auto updates. It sounds like Earth2025 was originally referring to it. However, i am as baffled as you as to what he's been trying to say since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know that. But registration usually involves sending some information back to the producer of the software, not just typing in a code that the program itself gives you!

Garrulous Glaahk Wiz Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I know that. I'm not saying it made sense, just that it sounded like he was referring to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
