Copy tokens

[Cloudrat]

<p>Are we ever going to be able to get a copy token to take our test toons to the extended server? <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />))</p>

<p>Good question.</p><p>I was thinking about this the other day.  I first thought the "no transfers off Test" would prevent it, but then I thought that maybe, with the limitations on what gear comes with you, maybe it's not so far-fetched.</p><p>I've never had the slightest desire to transfer to a Live server even had it been posible, but EQ2X is a different matter altogether.</p>

<p>so we can't?</p>

<p>I'll look into it. I don't see why not, but there may be a reason I'm not aware of, so...more soon.</p>

<p>Okay, that didn't take long.</p><p>Short answer: No, we can't do it.</p><p>Why?</p><p>1) The Test server is commonly on a different version than the rest of the servers. This creates data mismatches that don't allow copies whenever the data is misaligned like that. This is the primary reason.</p><p>2) A softer reason is that Test runs at a higher XP rate. We currently only allow copies from servers with similar XP rates to avoid cries of foul from other players. This isn't huge, but is a minor factor in the decision.</p><p>Sorry for the bad news.</p>

The exp bonus we get is often turned off ooops  or server is down oh well or we are busy chasing a bug so not leveling.  I thought the bonus was more to keep us from falling too far behind.  I level so much faster on live.  Ok whatever you say<img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />   It's all about spin.</p><p>I am sorry too <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />    But you shouldn't be taking our money for SC items then.  Just give us unlimited SC to test the items in the market<img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>
