Possibly Newb Question re characters

Its been a wee while since I played, but decided today to come back and try out the expansion.

Talking about it with a friend of mine, I recommended him to try it (got him a free 7 day trial), and we both installed the game (Ive had a new pc since I last played) but he downloads a fair bit quicker than I do and started to DL earlier than I did.

My friend then sent me an email asking me what server my characters were on, so that while I was still waiting, he could get creating and testing, but on the correct server. And for the life of me I couldn't remember.

And finally we reach the question LOL - is there any way (ala other mmo's) to find a list of the characters on your account and what server they're on, other than logging into game and checking each server?


Thanks in advance

Hi there Deeply! The only way I can think of right now is to actually hit up the character copy tool for test server.

That should allow you to check each of the servers.

Hope this helps!

That was brilliant advice. i'd give you an internet, but i'm fresh out. So instead i'll just tip my hat to you.

Very clever idea. The tool was there and I did not see that particular application. I'm gonna have to remember that.

It's ashame that the only information is just server and toon names.

Wow, for somebody who doesn't post very often, that was pretty darn clever. A nice way to fit a square peg into a round hole.

Search for a file in your COH directory called "playerslot.txt."

My characters are all listed by server there.
