Two PCs on the same server?
So I was thinking. Let's say that there is something your character needs to collect on another server than the one you're currently playing on (I wont go into details because I know how afraid of OMGMETA you all are ). And let's say that on this other server, you already have an active PC. Would it be ok to make a quick kessel run and get that little something? I mean, if you just don't interact with players or DMs. You *are* allowed to cross a server you DM on and play on, in order to get to another server, iirc. Is this too allowed then?

The opposite of idealistic is pragmatic, a word that describes a philosophy of "doing what works best."
From Greek pragma "deed," the word has historically described philosophers and politicians who were
concerned more with real-world application of ideas than with abstract notions. A pragmatic person
is sensible, grounded, and practical.

If the exchange is purely OOC, I'd say you're fine.

That too, but I am more referring to heading over to (example) "Silverymoons Smashing Sundries" and getting something from a vendor.Adanu wrote:If the exchange is purely OOC, I'd say you're fine.

Re: Two PCs on the same server?
I would like to know this as well. Because with some quests going cross server, it really could make some quests items quite impossible to ever get.
Current PC:
Pc 1: Kalavaria
Pc2: -
Retired PCs:Kyrinil, Isabella, Sayset, Iadeth, Araessa, Kalix Silvith
Past PCs: Astri, Navanna, Vess, Isett
<paazin_> I hate you.
Puny: I would stomp on a spider wearing my future babies face.
Boom: I hope he dies in a flying aids fire.

Re: Two PCs on the same server?
Yeah... I don't know guys. I just don't do those quests.
There are plenty of others and im sure we could all live without those 50xp/gp.
Also, the fact we know those quests and where and in which server to find the items is omgmeta.
So it's not like we're entitled to that.
Don't get me wrong, if I was the all power ALFA god I wouldn't care if either of you did that.
But on the other hand I really don't care if it's not allowed.

Re: Two PCs on the same server?
The current answer (as i understand it) is no, it is not allowed.
Passing through a server on the way to somewhere else is fine. Stopping to interact with other players or do statics (or collect items for statics) is a no-no - Same sort of deal as if you dm'd on that server, it's one of the trade offs you make.
(That was the way it was set-up with the 2 player thing going ahead.)

Re: Two PCs on the same server?
And it does seem like a small price to pay in order to reach a common ground with the 1pc/player purists.
You can have a 2nd pc, but can't do ALL the statics. Just 97% of them. Eh. *shrugs* Not that big of a deal.

Re: Two PCs on the same server?
Process was what, ask HDM usually only for the reason of a trip for a DM'd event? Anyone shy of the HDM whether in forums or IRC, it's not what the rule called for. Telling an HDM you wanted to shop for a beaver fur hat or ring of clw 5/day, that may not be seen as the right reason.
Someone may link the policy up I guess and scan for this rare exception thing. Pretty sure though it was HDM not anyone else who'd get involved on waivers or temp relief etc.

Re: Two PCs on the same server?
So, if I were to want to buy a "Hat of the beaver" which only happened to exist on a certain server, then I'd have two options:
1a) Move PC2 from Server2 to Server3
1b) Wait 30 days
1c) Move PC1 from Server1 to Server2
1d) Move PC1 from server2 to Server1
1e) Wait 30 days
1f) Move PC2 from Server3 to Server2
1g) ???
1h) Profit!
OR
2) Have someone else buy it for me and come visit Server1 or someone who doesn't have a PC on Server2 go there and buy it for me.
Aight. Gotcha.

There's presumably an option 3 about asking HDM.
