That's technically not 100% true: ACT does interact with the internet to check for and (with your approval) download updates.
But in any case, there's always a bit of uncertainty when it comes to executables. Heck, we still get folks coming here on occasion saying the EQ2MAP updater if a virus
. The best thing is either open source (like we've mentioned) or just the slow growth of trust as folks use the program.
I'd actually like to make a suggestion as well: collections is a decent start, but from there I'd go to something like achievements rather than quests, that way your website offers a service that is not (to my knowledge) currently available elsewhere. That might help to drive traffic in your direction once you get things up and running =)
