"-alignment"
The PGCC currently contains a simplified leveling system, more user-friendly enchanting (up to hard 5%), most items from the server (to be expanded to a full collection as new content is added), arenas to test builds against generic spawns (with the eventual expansion to Arelith spawns) and against other players. In future iterations, the PGCC will contain arena style games (Capture the Flag (CTF), King of the Hill (KoH), etc).
+ good (shifts your alignment to good, keeps the y value)
+ evil (shifts your alignment to evil, keeps the y value)
+ lawful (shifts your alignment to lawful, keeps the x value)
+ chaotic (shifts your alignment to chaotic, keeps the x value)
+ neutral (resets your alignment to true neutral)


Example:
==What can you do?==
Play a Chaotic Evil character
Players have the freedom to test all races, classes and rewards freely on the PGCC. All that you need to do is create a character and use the -setup command in-game to specify which level you want to go to. As well as -shop to open the merchant stores.
Type in "-alignment lawful" and it will be changed to Lawful Evil


Commentary:
==How to move an existing character from Live to PGCC?==
This is mostly for testing purposes of, say, when one wants to try out Good vs Evil cleric and their spell effects but don't want to make a second character just to shift the alignment.
If you wish to test build your on-going character from the live servers, the PGCC offers the ability to move your character from the live servers to that vault. A player must type -transfer in-game for this to take place. You will get confirmation that this has been performed and should see the character in your respective PGCC vault. If you receive an error message, please let Spyre know as it could be a mount issue.
We've decided to restrict it to Clerics on PGCC for the timebeing.
 
==How is server maintenance managed?==
Characters are automatically deleted from the PGCC on a schedule to keep the overall vault size low. The schedule runs at midnight on the 1st of every month and will prune characters that have not been accessed in the past 14 days. Anything older than 14 days will be deleted and is unrecoverable.
