This isn't really a problem, more of a request.
I have a few extensive character descriptions I'd like to save in case of a *beep* so I was wondering if there would be some place where I could copy or save them easily. Are they stored on our computers or only on the server?
The latter will mean retyping them completely ...

I'm afraid they're serverside, Zan.
I do have a copy of them in a .txt file format in case a wipe happens, to restore it, but you've to type it down. Just open PS and notepad (ps windowed) change transparency of description window, and... type.
But yes, I guess it could be made clientside, such as questnotes are, for instance.

If you have so much in there that not only it'd take a bit to retype, but you might forget it, then it's probably too long. It's supposed to be a description, not your life story. ;)

Hackers way:
tcpdump -l -n -i eth0 -s 0 -A 'udp and port 7777' > desccatch.txt
(or use any sniffer with gui, like ethereal, if you prefer)
Than open description window in game client. Then using any method (suggesting popular tools like awk, grep, sed) format the output of above command.
Works for books as well :whistling:.
Injecting the description back would be more problematic though.
:D

It are descriptions, not life stories but I have quite a few characters so I definitely won't remember them all.
All I wanted to know is if there was an easier way but I won't die from having to type them over.
