well i guess i can say farewell to you then. Have fun and good luck playing those other games.
There will be a character Wipe before release, there might be a bit of a headstart but i wouldn't count on that, only on the existence of the wipe before release.
I do kind of think, that there will be actually many more wipes, i do not believe, that the game is even near release. . . |

CCP has confirmed that they will be doing a full server and character reset before launch. No headstarts.
The only things that will carry over are any Aurum or purchased specialty items, they will be refunded to your account after the wipe occurs so that you're not losing any real money investment in the game and any unique or limited edition items you've obtained will remain with you.
Playing during the beta is not 'wasted work and effort'. Every game that is played provides the Devs with valuable information and data that they use to fix bugs and improve the game. If you want to bail on being a tester that's fine, but please don't infer that the rest of us are wasting our time and effort playing during the Beta.
We'll be the ones providing the Devs with the data, suggestions, and requests for features, if you don't participate and you don't like the game when it's released it's not CCP's fault you didn't participate and attempt to help mold the game into something you'd enjoy. |

Yes I'm pretty sure your character is gonna get wiped when the real game launches. If I were you, just waste all your ISK and try out all the different weapons, vehicles, and armor so you know what they're all like. |

Will there be a wipe?
YES
Will we be compensated?
Not likely, but we might. CCP are deliciously unpredictable in that regard.
What is the point of playing, if we get wiped?
Why are there any reason to play? To have fun!
Also, CCP have said that there are prizes for all participants, depending on the amount of participation. These are supposed to be given to us at the next patch, scheduled for August if I understand it. |

I think it's fair to wipe skills and isk, but dont see the point in wiping created characters. I think there should be some sort of reward or item for whoever participated in the closed or open betas to be used in the final product. I know they do have something like this planned for the august update though  ------

From talking to the Dev's in IRC, there plan is to reset characters. The characters themselves will still be there, but will have all skills and skill points reset to default, and will have all ISK and assets removed. They will then refund all AUR purchased as well as the Merc Pack items. As for the items we get from the beta events, I'm not 100% sure, but I think they will also be refunded. This will happen at launch and possibly a couple more times before that, if they need to reset our progress for any reason.
As for rewards for participating in the Beta, I think that is their intention with giving us items for the events |

Characters will remain. and ccp are looking to te validity in rewarding beta players for the time and effort. only thing reset is ISK and SP. aur and purchases with money will be refunded.
as for why play. i have to ask why did you sign up to a BETA if you wernt expecting resets? were bascially here as testers. to play the game over and over again to find glitches/bugs/ balancing issues. that is the point of the BETA. |
