From the Community News on the Herald:
On Pendragon:

In the depths of the Passage of Conflict, a new threat lurks. Determined to close the passage to all but herself, Archmagess Misia hides in wait. All those who oppose her meet swiftly with certain death, for she will not have her new lair stolen away by simple raiders from any realm! Do you and your friends have the courage to face her and keep her from wreaking havoc through the Passage?


This is a game of hide and seek. I (Missy) will be playing the part of Archmagess Misia, the crazed elf seeking to claim the passage for her own lair.

The rules for this game are few:

-This Hide-and-Seek event will be held on Saturday, September 18, 2004. Gather 3:00 PM EST, the game will start at 3:30.

-All groups or players must start outside of their realm’s entrance to the Passage of Conflict. (Albion in Pennine Mountains, Hibernia in Breifine Mountains, and Midgard in Jamtland) Players starting inside of the dungeon will be disqualified.

-Inside of the dungeon, all RvR rules apply. Race to find the crazed Archmagess who schemes to close the dungeon to all three realms.

-The Archmagess will be hiding anywhere inside of the Passage, including the Summoner’s Hall. She may disappear and reappear at will.

-The first group to find and defeat the Archmagess will be awarded a Catacombs 3 Beta invitation.

-If you want to play, be sure to /charcopy your character to Pendragon by this weekend.

This promises to be a fun event! We're excited, and hope you are too. See you there!

To copy to Pendragon:

To do a character copy first log onto the server and character you want copied and equip the items you want to take with you. Only the items you have equipped will copy, not your full inventory. Now log off that character and server.

Next you must make a level one character on Pendragon and log that character in. Use a name you like, because the name is what the copy will be called forever - your "real" name will not copy. Then type the command /charcopy servername (server the character you want to copy is on) and the character's name.

Example: /charcopy Merlin Joe

This is what you would type if your chosen source was named Joe and residing on the Merlin server.

You should see a message 'sending request'.

Once you have seen the message, log off the character and do not play the character. It must be a level one for the charcopy to work and must be offline. You may play any other character on any server including Pendragon. It can take up to a week for the copy to work.

We reset the copier once each time we patch to the live server. We do not reset it when we patch Pendragon.
