    Is it not possible to use your character from the main arcanum module in other, player generated modules? This seems kinda crazy if true...

    Answer is "No"... unless the module is marked as playable in Multiplayer. But then you'll lose all your items upon joining.

    Also a MP module is very different from a SP one... maps cannot be too large, had to make sure things won't break if players do many things at the same time, etc.

    Yes. It's a multiplayer thing. Troika aren't good at multiplayer things :smile: (WHich is fortunate, otherwise they'd be working on "MMORPG Arcanum")
