Before people start posting about it being a great/terrible idea i am posting this mostly to ask

Is it possible to do with the coding of MxO?

I can see the benefits of merging the old constructs because on syntax at least they seem pretty empty and it would allow for some interesting encounters even that oportunity for some cross-server friendships.

Now in theory it could be done be having a single region server for all the construct instances but i am just guessing since i dont know how the servers are set up (but i would LOVE to learn)

The problem would arrise when sending them back again. that would lkely requre some clever recoding.

I supose the only people that can answer this question is the Dev's but there might be players thathave been sold somthing about how the servers work that would allow them to anstwer ths question.

Im sure this topic will either be ignored or full of opinions of if people think it should be done.

Oh well

I come to this thread in my usual capacity as a pessimistic naysayer. SMILEY

From everything I've seen, the character records are very closely tied to the server from which they originate. The only instance I've seen of them appearing on another server was when they're copied (back in the test server days). So, at best I think, you might be able to copy your character to another server, then copy it back when you're done in the construct. But it's a fiddly process, wouldn't flow as well as the current transition to and from a construct, and would cause no end of problems in SOE's chat/e-mail/user system.

Since MxO wasn't designed with something like this in mind, trying to do it now is guaranteed to be more trouble than it's worth.
