Alright, so you want to get onto the PTRs, but don't want to get on to the stupid RPPVP realm. Right. So, make a character of the opposite faction of the character that you're copying on the RPPVP server, and voila, your copy is on PVE. This will not work 100% if you intend to transfer one character of each faction.
This works because you can't have two characters of opposing faction on a PVP server, but you can on PvE. This exploit doesn't work the other way around (not that it matters, PvP flagging is enabled on the RPPVP server anyway).
Have fun!
