The dev team is considering the feasibility of allowing you to clone your characters on live to TC Prime using a type of in-game character transfer. This will allow you to test new upcoming changes using your live characters. And as a side benefit, it will also provide an environment for characters from different galaxies to intermingle with/against each other. Our feeling is to allow you to clone 1 character per account per week to TC Prime. There are still many details that we will need to work out during the feasibility research, and probably even more details that we probably havent thought of that you will point out to us. So give us your feedback on this proposal.
