skylar,
Don't try the 'drop at safe place' method, as a substantial risk is still involved.
For me, my frequent storage characters are created on a different account (each passport can create 3 accounts). So as I'm using Win XP, I use the Switch User function (Under windows, START -> Log Off -> Switch User) and open another copy of Maple.
Thus in this way, I will be able to log on Maple using two different accounts, and thus transfer items this way. Usu I will park my character at the Free Market Entrance so easy to meet up.
