sooooo,i need answers"will we ever play coh/cov again?

[daddy dee]

was gonna delete game and saves from my comp!!!!!!!good idea or not?do tell please

[Illusionss]

NO DO NOT DELETE THE GAME. Not without backing it up first.

[Jonfan]

I wouldn't. There is a lot of data in those files that might become crucial at some point in restoring or converting/importing your chars into the next incarnation of the game...whatever that turns out to be. I'd buy a new hard drive if I needed space before I'd ever delete those files, but that's just me.

[Kuriositys Kat]

Back up the files and store in a safe place if you really need the space. Actually it is a good idea to just back up your files anyway, I have.

[JaguarX]

I wouldnt delete them at least not yet unless ya absolutely sure that you dont mind nor care to start over if something was to happen where the old files can be converted and or used in some manner. The times are uncertain right now and no telling what exactly the future holds.

[Echoshard]

Personally if it's bothering you that much, I'd compress it and just upload it to Dropbox or another cloud service.  Hell, even a flashdrive would work in a pinch.  HD space is easy to come by these days unless you're on a SSD, and even then 4gb won't kill you.

Better to have it and not need it, than vis versa.

[General Idiot]

Personally I compressed it and put one copy on my storage drive and another on a burned DVD.

[Mistress Urd]

Well many are hoping it comes back.

You can still use the game to play demorecords.  People here have made entire libraries of demorecords available for you to play and watch.

You can also still use the game to create new characters and costumes.

You can use the game to demoedit brand new videos.  Every bit of Leandro's latest video on YouTube was created using the demoeditor.  You can CREATE new adventures for your characters.

[Mazz vs The World]

[Perfidus]

Yes you will, and don't delete anything.

Gotta keep the faith right? At least back up the stuff if you need to delete it for computer space.

[Mister Bison]

If you want a yes/no answer, it's yes.

But when, is far more difficult.

[Ampithere]

Depends on how much people let legal technicalities get their panties in a bunch.

[TonyV]

NO DO NOT DELETE THE GAME. Not without backing it up first.

To restate Illusionss: NO DO NOT DELETE THE GAME. Not without backing it up first.

Outright theft isn't a legal technicallity.

[TonyV]

Outright theft isn't a legal technicallity.

Please, please, please do not equate this to "theft".  It is not.  Theft involves depriving someone else of their property.  No one is denying NCsoft the right to their intellectual property.  Since they voluntarily shut down the game, they're not even denying them potential income.  If anything, NCsoft is guilty of theft, because they are denying us access to intellectual property that was created in good faith on their systems, for which we paid for that privilege.

At worst, this is infringement, and possibly violating a contract.  It is not theft.  Using words like "theft" and "piracy" was invented by the media industry to make some minor offenses sound like major crimes.  It is pure marketing.

[Victoria Victrix]

Outright theft isn't a legal technicallity.

Finding a way to use the game again is not theft.  We bought and paid for our disks.  And there is legal precedent and documented court cases where it was decided that creating something that interfaced with a Microsoft property and allowed someone to use the digital property they already owned is fair use and entirely legal.
