Alright, in my case, i have two characters.. currently Slatz, and my original Xyko.. id like to reserve the name for both.. however, i dont remember the password to Xyko (see my post labeled Password Woes in Technical Help for more info).. step by step what would i do to reserve the names.. and is it required that i know the pw for the names i want to reserve?

You will have to know their passwords. If you don\'t know their passwords, and you actually own them, and arn\'t trying to steal them, then nobody else will be able to reserve either.

if i dont know the password, and they are reserved.. how am i supposed to play with that character?

The char of wich you lost the password can\'t be reserved: You can\'t, because you lost the password and nobody else can because others never have know the password.

Please Slatz, out of your 16 posts at least 15 of them have been that you don\'t remember your password. We really get the point. You have been told the only way it might be possible to retrieve this. Follow those directions and if it doesn\'t get you anywhere then sorry to bad it\'s not going to happen for you.
Just recreate new characters with those usernames when you can.

Isn\'t there a way to retrieve the password by checking a log file or something in the PS directory?
I vaguely recall someone talking about that a while ago.
Slatz, do a forum search for something along those lines, and see if it brings up anything okay?

This is done client side, so it obviously won\'t be in the log if you\'ve never logged in on that computer.

Eh... CB is coming... We doesn\'t matter if he fund his old pasword : look : you just have to play with your new char for 2 weeks and nobody will be able to take the name of your first character and then when the char creation will come you\'ll just have to create it (cause your first char name won\'t be reserved anymore)

So to conclude : don\'t worry !

Wow...   if you still have the installed version of the client that you made the account on, it seems that plsclient.txt, in the main directory, should contain something like:
psAuthenticationClient::Authenticate(Rorian,PASSWORD,1)

(and no, that is not my password )

All you have to do is open that file and search for any portion of that string (such as psAuthenticationClient)..

The only thing I\'m curious about is whether or not the currency will be transferred over, and from looking at the files, it looks like it.  Which then brings up the question, what will be the conversion rate, and so far, at least from what I could tell anyway, it looked 1:1.

AFAIK, it hasn\'t been decided yet. I\'d think they wouldn\'t due to the huge amount of hacked xtals going around, and certain guilds using hacks to get their guilds rich in only a few months. <.<

But you never know

[Seytra]

Due to all the cheating going on I\'d be wary of converting 1:1.
I have a certain feeling that tells me you might be in for a surprise. If I were a dev, you\'d definitely be in for it.

[Ghosts|Jestal]

this question might of been asked and answer, but their is way too many replies to read to see, but how can I transfer the character myself? Does not make sense. I really wanna keep my character but I don\'t want it to get deleted if I can\'t figure out how to transer, can someone help me?

If you check the CVS, you will see a script which we probably will use.

Feel free to test it and check for bugs

You will have to run the mentioned script when the migration peroid starts.

Well I dont think cystals should be transferd.  I think it would be better for everyone to have a fair start.  I have a nice mountain of crystals myself but Id be willing to let them go so everyone had a fair start.

[Hatchnet]

Even though I myself have a handful of hard one crystals I agree with Efflixi Aduro every one deserves to start on the same foot when cb is released to the general public

[Adeli]

I have in total 6 diamonds, not much I know.
I think they should get to keep them, but not at 1:1.
Think of all the people will 10k+ diamonds... I seriously doubt people\'s ability to find that many. No offense intended if you legitimately did.
If you did, you need a life!
