Moving caracters

I´d like to know if it is possible to move a caracter you have in one server to another. (By any means).

should be possible in theory, you'd have to talk both server's admins into exchanging your savegame...
so if you know them, you might get a chance :p

yes, in theory, but being a FL server myself, I can't even find my OWN account on my server. I'm hoping someone will be able to figure out the folder and file naming system which is needed in order to distingush which account belongs to which account number! Any ideas?

I have tried moving a character from one server to the other. The server sees the new character, but the owner does not see it when he logs in. In order for him to see it I had to also copy his accounts.cfg file, but then I could not see my character. Has anyone been able to move a character successfully from one server to another?

This technique is explained in the readme files on the CD. bascially it states to move a character from one server to another you need to move the entire directory. Even so it then it says not to run a server on both machines. Oh and you can not move just one character, it's all or nothing.

I've found that creating mutilple accounts can help identify your own character on your machine that is also running the server you're logging into, but it's not a exact science.
