FSOD & Corruption FAQ

[Anti Hacker]

I also make copies of all my CDs/DVDs but not incase someone steals them, incase they become corrupt and need formatting or whatever. Which is in-fact exactly why you should back up your PSO items. In case your main card becomes corrupted.

At the end of the day, you're saying you're legit, but you back-up weapons, by this theory, if I gave someone a Psycho Wand for 30secs, that then becomes their weapon, so they could "back-up" the weapon, then decide they don't want it, and generously give it back to me, (though I refuse to do this for anyone), and since it was their item at the time, they was making a "back-up" and not a dupe.

If you back up an item, you do not trade the back up or trade the original and then take out the back up. it only ever becomes used when the original is destroyed. Otherwise it isn't a back up, it's running paralell to the original.

If you trade the original or the back up, the other must be destroyed. This is a rule I keep to. A back-up ensures no unfair advantage to any player. What you suggested above is that you could use a back-up to cheat. Well, if you do, the item is no longer a back-up and therefore you are cheating. If the item is no longer a back up, then backing up is still legit because it's only in the event of the player cheating or abusing the back up that they become non legit. If a back up and an original are both in use at the same time you are not backing up, and no you can't claim you are.

It's merely a excuse created by those too worried about their own rep on the net, thinking it's worth a dam, so they can lie to theirselves, and put them on the same level as someone who actually plays the game how it's meant to be played

I'll decide what I think thanks, not you.

There's no one left online playing PSO cube that I know anyway. So I really wouldn't care. The game is not meant to be played so that you lose items due to FSOD/Corruption, so backing up actually is an attempt to play the game as it is meant to be played.

I still don't understand why you talk about not bothering to back up. It's harder re-finding them. It's more effort. You are going to greater lengths to keep your weapons than people who back up, because you re-hunt. If anyone is desperate to get their weapons back its you.
