Hello, I am very interested in playing on the test server, possibly full time in place of the main server.I would like to use my main server character. I am very attached to her and I really don't want to start all over again. Is it possible to copy her from the main server to the test server? Thank you very much in advance for any assistance with this. The character account would be Myths. Thank you, Myths  |

MT does copy the main server chars to test server from time to time, but I'm not sure when he plans to do it next.

 It has to be fun. If it is not fun, it has to be moving. If it is not fun or moving, maybe we can poke it with a stick and make it mad. I am Stealthxstar :mrgreen: |

Because it is the "TEST" server. It is for testing new releases before applying to main server.

The main reason for the wipe is that the existing player files won't work with the new software. Since the test server will be updated to the new code before the main server - well, you can work out the rest |

Don't listen to those two. There is no reason for a wipe. The devteam got bored one day and thought "that'll be a larf...". We're doing the test server first because that was the name we pulled out of the hat first.
Honest.

lol.
for real though, I believe the items in the game are being rebased in such a way that the old ones will crash the new server style if they are not removed from the players.
That and we need to implement trade skills with requires a clean economy to begin with.

Couldn't you just do what Zaurbock does when he's bored? Annoy the Vols, and get muted. |

so... what about donation items? i know this isnt really the proper thread for this topic, but its headed in that direction anyways-- I take it those are being re-vamped as well?
EDIT:
in that those of us who bought donation items are expecting to get them after the characters are wiped-- am I correct in assuming this still stands?

MT has said many times that the donation items purchased from the donation shop will be re given to the original buyers after any wipe.

Also MT has stated before that for the "mega donation present" you may not get the exact same items as you got from the first present as the items are random. Cheers, Anich P.S. I annoy the Vols all the time. Oh yeah? ... /talk mark Smacky |
