    Hi there, this is something that a lot of people complain about, sometimes even not directly, as in "OMG my files got deleted out of nowhere, popped the game open and started downloading everything from scratch!".

    This causes a lot of problems, the system Temp folder is NOT meant for persistent files, as shockign as it may seem, as the name states, it should hold TEMPORARY files.

    The thing is, why on earth would the devs make such a poor design/development choice?

    Ok, the game was first designed to run on a browser (I guess it's still possible to do it), back then it was ok, to hold things on the temp folder. But c'mon guys, you launch a stand alone client AND KEEP THINGS ON THE TEMPORARY folder?

    I'm sorry, but I'm not the first and won't be the last to point out that it's just plain stupid.

    Does anybody ever heard something from the devs as to why this is the way it is, and if they're ever gonna change it?
