Can Characters Starting in Classic Progress to Ep4 Later?

[ArtCommissions]

Hi everyone, just checking if a character starting in Classic, i.e. that specific ship, can later change ships to access Ep4? I am thinking of experiencing the classic GC PSO again, but do not want to lock myself out of Ep4 later.

Also, items I stash in bank as a classic character, can I access/share them with non-classic characters?

Thanks!

Hey mate,
If you start a Classic Character, this character is bound to play in Classic Only.
Also no "Vanilla" Character can join your parties nor trade Vanilla Items with Classic characters.
You can join another lobby, but no game.
Your character is flagged as Classic with it's name in blue.

See red quote below.

Classic Mode​

Ephinea features a ship, “US/Devaloka”, which is a designated classic mode ship, to offer a Blue Burst experience before the addition of Episode 4! Please note that while this is similar to GameCube & Xbox, it is not designed to be a GameCube & Xbox replica.

This ship features many different changes:

The original offline GameCube & Xbox experience has been restored in One Person Mode! Progress through each area to unlock the next difficulty regardless of character level in One Person Mode!
Episode IV has been removed, along with all Episode IV items being unobtainable.
The drop table is identical to GameCube & Xbox, and can be found here.
All rates are default, and cannot be boosted in any way.
Coren (the wandering Tekker) will not offer any gambles.
The difficulty level requirements are the same as official Blue Burst.
Special Ephinea features, such as the Hunters Boost Road and Anguish difficulties, are removed.
The quest list has been rebalanced, and does not feature quests such as Maximum Attack 4, or many fan-made quests.

While this is a classic server, we have made the decision to keep experience sharing and individual drops, which are mandatory on the classic ship.

Classic mode is accessed with any account type, by logging into a classic ship with a new character, and creating / joining a game there. Once a game has been created / joined on a ship, the character will be flagged as a regular or classic character, and can only play in the appropriate locations.

Note that classic characters on sandbox accounts will function as normal classic characters.

currently not
also...

This may be something that I could look into doing in the future. (A command to convert your character to "normal".)

The way I have the data structured, though, the classic shared bank is entirely different than the normal common bank, so a player would need to make sure anything they needed to bring with them to the regular ships is on their person or in their character bank rather than common, otherwise that character would lose access to those items.

But yeah, that'd probably be the only thing to watch out for.
