There is a shared bank feature in the game.

One can access this bank from any character on any account.

To use it, simply drop an item on the floor. That item will remain there until picked up by another character (computer or player). Note this process only works for items; if you want to transfer wealth between characters you will need to use something with decent value that has a resell rate close to it's purchase rate such as gems.

Good luck!

Use caution with this method. Don't drop items in an empty zone. Zone servers shut down when the zone goes empty. When the zone server shuts down, it saves all the spawn information to a table (the spawn table) and then stops running to save resources on the World Server. Anything not considered a "spawn" (mobs, NPC's, ground item spawns, doors, corpses) will not be saved to the spawn table when the zone server is shut down.

When the zone server comes back online (by someone entering the empty zone) it repopulates the zone from the spawn table. Because the item you dropped wasn't saved to the spawn table, it's now gone.

The item will remain as long as someone is still in the zone, because the zone server remains up to service the person/people still in the zone.



TL;DR = drop an item in an empty zone and it will probably disappear.

I learned this the hard way.
