test copy - what is copied over

[ashen1973]

I have tried a few searches to find this info, but come up blank. If we copy a character over to the test server, what items are copied over with them? I would like to copy a few of my crafters over to test new crafting stuff when it comes along, and would like to know if raws etc.. are carried over.  ( I know I should bite the bullet and roll one on the main test server, but with a full set on live servers, just can't face the grind <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />)

Everything on your character minus the shared bank.

<p>You should roll on Test anyway.  We'd love to have you and this clone server will only be temporary anyway.</p>

The server will probably be wiped and reopened numerous times as large changes get implemented that they would like more testing done on. It really serves no purpose to stay open all the time, it only really needs to be open when a test update comes out.

during beta, shared bank was copied too. this may or may not be different

The point of a test server is to test things. The only gripe the test community had was that everyone would copy to their server and ruin it...well. Problem solved.</p>

Ya, I just want to test the dual wield changes by making an instance group or something. Screw it, Labs pick-up group imo.

<p>Haha.</p><p>Yeah, same here. I took a Soulfire Sabre instead of a Gladius in anticipation of the change.

I'm copying Atelos over for sure, possibly my ranger as well.

<p>How do I log into a character that is copied to the test server? </p><p>Yesterday when I started up EQ2, I clicked on the little Test server button on the bottom right of my login screen and went through loads of downloads and updates.  I then logged into my main on my regular server and did the /testcopy add got a message something like ‘use /testcopy remove to stop the copy'. I assume this means that the character was ready to be copied over night.  I tried to log into my toon today - started EQ2, clicked on the Test server button, it checked for updates, but my character selection did not show anything different other than my characters on my normal server.  I did not see anyone listed that showed something like a test server.  So I selected the name of the toon that I copied and hit Play.  The little information bar came up with the error message ‘trying to locate server #1' or something like that.  I eventually had to hit quit as this message did not change.  I was able to log into my character on my normal server this morning so its not an ISP issue.</p><p>What am I missing here? </p>

The drop down list on the patcher window doesnt update (sometimes) from test.  You need to log into the character select screen from the test patcher, then select your toon.

I'm sure this has been answered before, but forgive me. About how long does it take your /testcopy character to show up on the Character Select screen? I used the /testcopy add command some time last night, and I figured maybe it would be available by now.

[Azigon]

I've been waiting nearly 24 hours now for my copy to go through, so I don't know what's going on. Hope it happens soon though.

I test copied all 9 of my Kithicor gals and now have no idea how to log on to this "new" server. Some instructions please? Thanks.
