From an Ubi Q&A:

A CD/DVD is not required to play the game.

2. Will save games be saved on my PC?
Again from the same Ubi Q&A

Quote:
Will all my saved games be stored online?
Yes! They will be stored both online and on your PC.

3. If i lose connection, will i have to start all the way over back in port?
Same Q&A:

Quote:
What will happen if I lose my Internet connection when I play the game?
If you lose your Internet connection the game will pause while it tries to reconnect. If the Internet Connection is unable to resume you can continue the game from where you left off or from the last saved game.

4. Does the service, by itself, cost anything (per month, etc)?
No data on this at the moment, could go either way. Fact though it does cost money to maintain those servers.

5. Does UBI install any spyware, malware or fishy software to monitor my online experience?
[/QUOTE]

From same Q&A as before:

Quote:
Do any services run when I am not playing?
No. The only service that might be running after you exit the game is the online synchronization of saved games which runs until it is completed. It is not a hidden window, so you can cancel it at any time, and it will finish the synchronization the next time you start the game.

Do you add any monitoring tools to my computer?
No! We respect your privacy and will only access information needed for the new services and game to function. There are no hidden programs or monitoring tools installed.

Opinion: World of Warcraft is a well know game even if you don't play it. It started out the very same way. Later on in an attempt to uncover people that were using packet sniffers to try and develop trainers for the game, this changed. What Ubi says now and what they do later may or may not be the same thing.

Fact:
Quote:
Can I resell my game?
Not at this time.

Can I resell my game along with my Ubisoft account?
Your Ubisoft account features your personal data and cannot be given or sold to anyone.
This is the same as with WoW. For those of you that thought you would buy this later on down the road second hand for a cheap price, game over.
