On Nov 17th N3V sent me the following e-mail:
I get that N3V is trying to evolve to a beneficial business plan. It is also clear that they will permit me to use TRS 19 with the Platinum expansion without any action on their part to take it away from me.
But what if my laptop died and I had to download 19 again from MyTrainz to re-install it on a new laptop? It sounds like the Platinum expansion would not be available in that case. Is that interpretation incorrect? Would my local backup be sufficient to re-install the Platinum expansion on a replacement computer?
I worry what would be equivalent to me 'cancelling' my plan. Which gets me to my final point: I would be extremely unhappy if I lost something that I paid for. Other than eventually ending support for TRS19, which is an obvious reality, the Platinum expansion was not promoted as a temporary product.
Thanks in advance for any clarifications to my worries.
This is an important announcement about changes to the Trainz Membership options.
Your existing membership plan is no longer available to NEW members.
If you do cancel, you will no longer be able to renew on the same plan. However, you can remain on your existing plan as long as you like, and there is no requirement to change plans.
If you are interested in the new Trainz Plus features, you can switch to Trainz Plus Standard or Gold. Simply log in to MyTrainz.com to upgrade your account and begin enjoying the very latest Trainz edition.
