I can't recall if you actually need it to register your account. One thing for sure, you will need that number on the new blank card when you lose/renew your old card in order to retrieve your game records. Anyhow, since you're playing offline it won't matter. But there's nothing to lose if you keep the numbers intact. |

For offlines, you won't even be able to register so if your card is lost or damaged, that's it. This post has been edited by Saint on Sep 21 2016, 10:31 PM |

Card data recovery works on Offline machines. In the test menu it will display the corresponding 20 digit card that needs to be restored. | ||

That only works if your card data is lost on that particular machine and it can only be recovered using the same particular machine your last play was on before the data is lost. If you lost your card that is it, you won't be able to recover your data back. | ||

I have a tendency to insert my cards into the slit between the screen and the speakers, maybe I should stop doing that so I don't lose them. |

Say somehow you were playing on the cabinet half way and the electricity somehow cut off. When you on back the machine and re-insert your card. There is a slight chance that your screen will show unable to read your card also showing an error requesting you to call technician. That is where technician enters test mode just to match up your 20 digits behind your card to restore. Any other number besides the 20 digits data will not be restore to your card. So once you lose your card that is it, it is impossible to restore. In online situation, we have something called card restoration by dnet. Whereby if say I lose my infinity card, I can just simply purchase a blank card and do restoration via dnet (provided my dnet is still active). Upon process completion, I will be notified that after 3 days the blank card will be the infinity card that was lost. And what happens to the card lost? It will be cancelled and become a useless card. | ||

What happens if you lose your card, but you have the 20-digit number at the back of your card? | ||

That sucks. Guess that means we should all be REALLY careful, even you folks over there since D.net is going away. | ||

Yea to be honest I always keep my cards instead of just putting it around the machine as a precaution ever since I started the game. This post has been edited by -=SHINN=- on Feb 16 2017, 09:10 AM | ||
