I know this is a silly question that had probably already been answered somewhere but . . . 1) Will our Beta characters be FULLY transferralbe as is into the full version? and 2) Will there be able to be multiple personas per account?

    1) Your beta characters will not transfer into Retail version.
        -- Although, you can save one Alias for your characters. (If one bought the pre-order)

    2) Yes, you can have up to 6 I believe.

    So - I will not be able to take any of the attributes that I build up on the Beta with me to retail?  I did pre-order so the latest I will be on is April 7th - that is a few weeks of working on the character that will be lost?

    That's what happens within most betas.  Remember that a beta is to test the game.  Otherwise it would be retail right now.

    The reason companies have a server whipe is to finalize some things and also make it fair for those that were not in Beta.

    KillerTwinkie is right, but there is a limited play before the general public.

    6) Will I be able to use my Beta Character in release?
    We will be wiping the Beta databases before launch. However, ONLY Pre-order customers will be given a 3-day head start on the production servers.

    According to the Beta news, the character NAME in the 1st slot will be reserved for you when the game moves from beta to live.  Other names will be wiped and not saved.  Let's see if NCSoft will be true to their word.

    good news for you! pre orders will be able to access the live ganme servers a whole 3 days before the general public! so you will have more than enough tiome to level up so as to avoid newbie area influx!

    Two things..

    1. I belive there will be 8 character slots not 6

    2. MrLilpinhead, your sig misquotes Al Gore... he never said "I invented the internet".  Do some research and you will find that the things that lead to that assumption were taken out of context.
