 It Would be good to email across servers  for players to help their other characters on others servers they are lvling, rather than going through the whole process again. Info Abilities, Coded clothing etc.

Gonna have to go with no on this one.

Simple reason, that just doesn't happen in games.
Another reason though, economy.

If you can just get stuff from your Server X character to your Server V character with no charge what so ever, then why would anyone farm anything to sell on Server V, why not to just get it from other characters on other servers?  You'd simply be boosting another servers economy and slightly tampering with anothers, indirectly.  Nothing drastic, but enough to make it never happen.

The would also be inevitable drama about rare items.

According to my memory, we've already had that discussion (search function D:) and the result was that as far as I can remember, one of the devs said that it's an impossiblity to move items between servers.

I have often dreamed of this when you see something you need on another server marketplace!

But as mentioned in the above posts it would tamper with a Servers Economy and would cause more downsides than upsides.

It's already possible to keep things from being emailed (singletons). 

As for the impact on server economies, I don't see how opening up "trade borders" with other servers somehow diminishes anything. If anything it just makes it a broader marketplace.

But I do believe the previous posters are correct in saying that this kind of cross-server pollination is impossible due to issues with .. The Database (dundunDUNNNN!)
