Account Linking

[Vegetius]

If I purchase FoG from Matrix is it linked to my Slitherine account? I'd like to think it is and I could use the desktop app to track MP games for both BA (purchased through Slitherine) and FoG (purchased through Matrix).

Sorry if this has been asked a hundred times already.

No there is no way to link accounts at the moment. We have a completely different architecture and user list. Merging them is somehign we;d like to do but is a massive project. E.g. Slitherine uses PHP, Linux, Apache and MySQL. Matrix uses asp, Windows, Microsoft SQL. It couldn't really be more different.

OK. Thanks Ian.

But because I'm so very full questions....

If I buy an expansion through Matrix, an expansion through Slitherine, and FoG and expansion through a retail vendor such as NWS Online; I can set up the game with all expansion using the various sources of the game from what I've read. Now here is my question. I'm going to assume it is not possible to register the Matrix serial number here. Nor is it possible to register the box copy from NWS Online, because I'm going to assume an American vendor would sell the Matrix edition. The Slitherine store bought expansion would be registered here. So presumably I'd have two accounts with games registered to it for online play. How would the Matrix games "know" online that it had a Slitherine bought expansion, if it is registered at a different account? And vis versa? Is it possible to register the Matrix boxed edition or digital downloads serials here too?

I've already got physical copies on order through NWS, so you already have got my sale so we can all relax about that! I'd just like to register the games here is all. I would have bought them through you directly, but the price difference is quite a bit different. Digital download are not really an option for me at the moment.
