<DIV>I don't see how there is a way to test this if the only server that has mailboxes is Test...but might it be possible to mail items between EQ2 servers?  I'd love to get my baby dragon from the server where I don't play anymore to the server where I do... :smileyhappy:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

You cant mail across factions, so i doubt very much if u can mail across servers.  Main reason i can see for them NOT allowing it, is that it would unstablize the economy.  Send money from server A, to server B (whihc is the cheapest in ALL servers), buy item C and mail in back to server A.  THen mark the price up to usual server prices and make a profit.  Rinse and repeat for "semi-exploited" money profits.

One posible concern is the relative states of the economy between the servers, that is some servers are significantly younger than others and have economies in less developed states, i.e. more expensive pricies. Cross server exchange would allow the importing of goods which have different values e.g. sending items that sell for comparitively little on one server to another where they are less expensive.Im not sure what all the crafters will think about being pooled, but as a consumer paying through the nose for items in one dimension, I say bring it on! ;PPratially I think the movement of money and items between servers should be resticted.As an asside I though I saw that dragons are about to become no-trade, so cross server adoption is going to be ruled out.
