Character Copy

Wiki > Ultima Online Wiki > Technical > Character Copy

This feature allows you make a copy of your character from any shard except Siege Perilous and Mugen to “Test Center 1”.

There may be periods of time where this feature will not be enabled due to differences in server versions.

No transfer tokens are needed for this, simply log in the character you wish to copy. To copy the character:

  1. Go to a safe logout location such as your house or an inn.
  2. Dismount if you are mounted on a pet, real or ethereal
  3. Open the help menu and select the “Character Copy” option

You will be asked to verify the items you are transfering – make sure you have everything you will need. Taking a fisherman to test new fishing quests, for example, would be easier if the tester has had the foresight to take a quantity of fish on commodity deeds or in pack animals
