Backing up your weaons

[IronMaggot]

Personally I see no problem with backing up data, if it isn't been used. I mean if they are using the weapons for all the characters then yes, it is cheating.

But to say that backing up isn't legit because FSOD was released is a little harsh. One thing I learnt the hard way in life on computer is to back up EVERYTHING! I learnt this because I once had my computer hacked and all my coursework deleted, which left me 3 days to restart and finish 4 assignments. Now obviusly this is a little different to playing PSO, but the princple is the same, the risk of been hacked was there and because I didn't back up I lost everything.

Now think about it a little differently, considering Blue Burst data will be saved server side, and imagine all your data been saved like that, and one day you went to load up your character, and you find a message from sega saying 'sorry your data became corrupt and had to be deleted' you would be a little pissed off, and sega would be the worst company ever for not backing up data. This obviusly won't happen, but there is the point, backing up isn't cheating, it can't be. I wish I had a method to back up because I lost Iron Maggot to corruption, I had just got to level 90 and was very annoyed. Of course restarting I know have more knowledge and have been able to do a lot of things differently, but I still would rather of stayed as Iron Maggot.

Backing up is just insurance, it isn't my fault sega released a game with bugs in, and so I should be allowed to back up data that has took many, many hours of my life. (Oh, and I don't actually back up, I have no way of doing so)
