When I buy a software package I always backup my activation code/license number and executable, but it was pointless with iFinger. The software installs by connecting to their webserver, and then downloading the package that you purchased. Unfortunately, if they decide to upgrade the search engine, you lose the possibility to reinstall the product you previously purchased!!! I consider this a rip-off, since I can't reinstall 4 dictionaries, for which I paid at least 30 USD each, because their license is bound to a search engine which cannot connect to the iFinger webserver. SO if you change computer, and they change version of the search engine, you lose the software... (so I lost over 120 USD) Morever, if you have a product which is still available, but the version is too old, you can't upgrade. I complained to the company and I got this answer:

"iFinger is not offering a subscription model.

The customer must ensure proper storage and back up of it's own data.

iFinger does not offer support for events outside iFinger's control. Events causing loss of data is not a support issue, i.e. iFinger does not provide links or keys to purchased product data a second time. The product will work as long as you don't change your environment. When you change your OS, we can not guarantee that iFinger will work."

This is a rip-off (I said that already) because I simply changed computer, and I still had licenses and executables (so I didn't lose my data, otherwise I wouldn't even complain about such a mistake) but I couldn't install the programs on my new computer!

SO to sum it up: don't buy it, even though the product itself is good, because you will eventually lose it!

Lineage 2: The Chaotic Chronicle Subscription Card Review

I was a part of the Open Beta for about a month and were among the higher ranked characters on my server. This does not mean I was among the top, but I was higher than most. I enjoyed this game for a time, it has good graphics and very easy gameplay. Its easy to get started and its easy to build a character, you are guided through your first steps and if you need more help other players are always willing.
There are however two big problems with this game. The first, as is with a lot of MMORPGs of the "first wave" (everquest, DAoC etc.), is that its very repetitive. Nothing new ever really happens. You go out and kill some stuff and gain a few levels, you go back and get better equipment and some new skills (far to few to select from to create unique characters), you go out and kill some tougher stuff and gain a few more levels and then back again for better equipment/skills. You can, and should, quest most of the time but the diversity of the quests arent very good and they to mostly evolve around "kill X, return to me with Y".
The lack of diversity is the second big problem, you will find a lot of other players that are almost exactly like you. Most of your race will look like you, but quite a lot will also be like you since the game is lacking in unique skills to chose from.
All in all I think most people will find this game enjoyable for a month or two, but then tire of it as nothing new ever happens. I for one grew very tired after my first month and would never consider buying this product. If you are one of those who never tired of Everquest this might be the one to get for you though, its quite similar...
