Sorta Related - "Designated Character" For Test Server

[Karbuncle]

Hey Guys, I didn't really see a good place to put this, So i figured... Test Server Feedback might fit. Can the Dev team look, in the future, into allowing us to change the "Designated Character" To allow on the Test Server?

Its not a gigantic issue, Would just be nice if we could.

So yah, Simple, short thread.

Thanks!

I'm not sure I 'get' what you mean.

You do know that you can create a character from scratch there too, right?
Or is it that you would like to use some other character you have for some other reasons?

A new character wouldn't have any quests done so you wouldn't be able to do many things without actually doing them, though, so I do think you're after something different...

Currently i have a Character on the Server, Darkmessenger. I would like to actually have Karbuncle on the Server.

If thats possible? I'm missing it. I read the instructions when signing up and it was clear to say i wouldn't be able to select a different char :x

Yeah, you're right. I don't think you can change the character which was designated during the application process.
And the Application page does confirm this from the looks of it:

• Only the data of the character selected during the application process can be copied.

• You cannot change the character you selected in your application.

I do wonder why it is a no-no...
Shouldn't be too difficult, I imagine?

All we can do, is delete the character and create a new one, or re-copy the data, but as far as I know, there is indeed no way of changing the designated character, for the time being any ways.

[Karbuncle]

Yah thats what i thought.

Strange enough, I know at one point i had Karbuncle on the server. Now its Darkmessenger. At one point, My account was suspended due to me letting subscription expire...

That might reset it.

Still, Its a pretty silly restriction. I wish they would allow us to re-chose the character we want on the server..

[Dragoy]

I agree, it would be convenient and we can already re-copy the data so I don't know why not.
What's the worst thing that can happen?

As for your character actually changing due to being inactive for a moment, that doesn't seem right, perhaps contact the Customer Service, or post about that particularly?

Also a long-shot but have you tried re-copying the character?
I imagine though, that it does show the other character on that page so it would likely just use that again.

[Karbuncle]

Yah, It simply just lets me recopy DarkMessenger.

Oh well, not a huge deal i guess. He's only kinda gimp >_>

Is it possible to re-copy the same character at least?

[Karbuncle]

Yah, You can recopy the Same Character, I found that out :x

Delete your character from the test server then go here and recopy it.
