First, just to avoid panic: All your character information is stored on the server. You will not lose any $Info, items, Abilities, etc. during this transition. This information pertains only to things like hotbar settings.
When you're able to log back on after the update on Monday, your character's UI settings will not be set up. Since your UI settings are saved locally in a folder under your account name, the first time you log on with your SOE log on a new directory will be created with that name on it.
However, there is a workaround to this. Once you know what your SOE account name is, you can rename the folder your character settings are stored in. For example, if your current account name is "Eggman" and your SOE account name is "Walrus":
Open your Matrix Online Profiles directory. Usually, this would be:
C:\Program Files\Monolith Productions\The Matrix Online\Profiles\
Where "C" is the letter of the hard drive the game is installed on.
Right click the folder "Eggman"
Select Rename
Type in "Walrus"
Press Enter
Close the directory
Once you make that change, your character settings should match what they were the last time you logged on to the game.
Of course, if your Station ID is the same as your current MxO ID, you won't have any problems at all.
It is very simple and gets your hot bars and settings back. Do it. :lol:
