Some have, but these will be wiped as it is a closed beta event. Generally open beta is where characters might not get wiped when release hits. |

Honestly I can't, but I don't care either :p. I could have sworn there was some that have. No need to jump down my throat. |

It's my understanding that they will be wiped, and this makes sense as one of the percs for preordering is early access and the ability to reserve character names.. Can't really reserve a character name if they didn't do a character wipe, at least I wouldn't think so... |

They will be wiped, but the chinese players in there CBT got to keep there's. It did not effect the outcome much because most of the testers moved to another server to be with friends.

Huh... ??? Wasn't the founder program early access to the retail servers,aka headstart? I could be wrong, but w/e. :) ~ ~ Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. |

I am a founder and the headstart really was the fact that you got to keep your character, in addition to having access two days before everyone else. |

That was the official press release about it (its still there).
I didn't level all that high as I was to busy "farming" but in this case... I was actually farming in a field with seeds... etc *.*. |

Yeah, I remember that now.. but I still don't see it as a real CB head start like the people in this thread are talking about. But I suppose it's close enough. :) Glad someone showed proof , props! ~ ~ Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. |
