character copy: my.lotro.com/charactercopy

Due to changes in the LOTRO forum login, you may have to click the link a second time. It seems if you are already logged into the forums, the first time you click just sends the login info and the second click will go to the actual link.

Character copy works today regardless what the message says. I'd suggest copy one at a time and checking what items you need before copying another one.

Load up your characters with items as anything on the character will transfer to test.

DON'T DO THE FOLLOWING. THE TRANSFER WILL PROBABLY FAIL!! It might be because of duplicate item identifiers but I failed 4 out of 5 on one account and this is the only reason I can think of. This also means you can copy a character with a bunch of items, wait a while for it to complete the transfer, load the same items on another character, then copy the second character with the same items. None of this transfers back to the regular servers so you won't be able to get rich except for on the test server heh.

An important thing to remember is that while you keep your individual bank items everything in shared storage will disappear.. You also lose your house but those items go into storage.

Racial style recipes are going to be DELETED that includes any one shot racial recipes. Sell sell sell!

They're going to be done over with different stats and will be multi-output like jewelry for example

Volume II now all solo (or duo or full group (hahah right) if you choose)

The book 5 chapter 5 quests are now skirmishes (for those that understand why that would be)

The other instances use inspired greatness.
