At the moment im playing on xbox 360 but me and my boyfriend are aguing over who gets to go on it. So ive decided to get a new xbox. I cant afford one for a few months and i think its a waste of time to lvl my current character anymore.

I have a PC so was thinking, could i get the game for pc and play on that for a few months till i get my new xbox then transfer my account over to the xbox? Is this possible to do without losing my character/s?

Please help

Thanks in advance

Unless the xbox is very different you can log in with any content ID and your characters are tied to your content ID. I don't know how installation works but you will have to buy a new copy of the game for your PC then another one for your new xbox (I believe) but you should have no problem using your content ID from PC on xbox and vice versa.

If you are using the same account you can log on from any system (pc xbox ps2) but you cannot log on as two different characters from the same account. If you have seperate accounts then all you have to do is type in your PoL ID and PW and you can play.
I have a friend on Xbox 360 who used to play on ps2 and thats all he did.

My personal experience may help anyone in this situation. I use to play exclusively on PC. But due to some recent eye problems I decided to try playing on a large HDTV so I purchased a Xbox360. It's pretty simple, the game with come with a serial code etc, you don't have to use this just sign in with your PC account info. Now if you didn't have ToAU installed on your PC you will have to add the content serial to your account (the ToAU serial from Xbox game) worked just fine for me even though my original account was from PC. The only problem I experienced was now if I wanted to play from my PC I didn't have the ToAU data installed even though the content was flagged on my account, I remedied this by finding a ToAU expansion on bittorrent (since I only n eeded the data not the code).

After doing this I still have a valid POL ID from the new XBOX game I could use to make a 2nd account, the only catch would be I would then be short a ToAU key, which I would have to buy a PC expansion box to aquire. Hope this helps.
