External Playtest Server Status

A quick update on the External Playtest server: We’re still working on fixing some issues that prevent us from opening the EP server to the public. That being said, we are evaluating a new build tomorrow that may resolve the issues. If so, we will open the External Playtest server on Thursday, December 22.

Copying Characters to the External Playtest Server

Given that we’re still hoping to open the External Playtest server on Thursday, we’re ready to allow players to copy characters from the live game to the EP server. Here is how you copy a character:

• Log on to The Matrix Online with the character you want to copy.
• Jack in to the world.
• Type /copychar in the Chat window.

If the copy command is successful, you’ll see a confirmation in the chat window.

Some things you need to know about copying characters:

• You may only copy one character every 24 hours.
• All character data is copied over, although some things like Abilities or Enhanced items may not work correctly at this time.
• You have three character slots on the EP server. Each time you copy a character from the Live game, it takes one of your character slots.
• If you don’t have a free character slot when you copy a character, your oldest character on the EP server will be replaced.
• If you copy a character to the EP server that already exists there, that EP character will be replaced with the current data from the Live server.

We hope to see everyone on the EP server soon.
