Is there a way to transfer characters between EMU accounts, or is it something @SirJames has to do?
Theoretically, it could be as easy as changing the account_id on the character table to point towards your account_id of the different account. If you created some dummy char on this separate account, you could do a lookup on the character name to find out that account_id, and just do an update to flip the old character to that different account_id.
Not sure that someone would actually bother to help with that, but I think that mapping only exists in one place and is a pretty easy change.
It's not a huge deal either way. The character I want transferred wouldn't be that difficult to just re-level. Almost all the gear he has is tradeable.
On another note, a friend has decided to roll up on this server with a 3box as well. I have a War/Monk/Shm combo right now and he's thinking of adding a BRD/RNG/PAL to the mix. I suggested Paladin as the last slot to help the Shaman with healing on the harder PoP encounters. Question is, is it even needed? Or should we swap the Pal with more DPS like a mage/wiz/etc.?
Your 6 man team seems solid. Most of the time, the second tank is redundant... however.. You will need it in PoTime for the Zek dude that FD's with a 30sec stun. Once fully Time geared, your monk might handle the 2nd tank duty, but it is still iffy with no taunt or way to draw aggro off of your DPS on the FD. You absolutely need the bard too for 500 resists to avoid the mana drain AEs in Time (Saryrn / Bertoxx).
Is that really the only encounter where a second tank is going to be needed/useful? If so, I'd rather just have him roll a mage for DPS and then swap in the PAL for that particular encounter.
Any chance we could get an updated spell file? The one available on the website doesn't have particle effects.
Honestly, with all that melee, I'd ditch the Mage for a rogue or monk. You only get 4 songs with /melody and you don't want to have to run both the melee combat innate and the caster %dmg.Friend and I are thinking of running on this server. With each of us 3-boxing, here is what we are thinking so far: WAR/CLR/MAG and SK/BRD/BST
Any input would be appreciated.
