personally I am completely against leaving the beta characters to cross over the the released edition.
what do you all think
Comments
I think yes. Because people spent lots of time leveling up + they hepled Blizzard. And there would be people that can help you anytime. They must stay!

I am personally againt the idea of letting characters cross over from beta to retail, probably mostly cause int he two games I have played where they did that there was so many exploits and bugs in the beta that the people were able to cheat eally bad and get alot of profit. I was hoping they would wipe especially on L2. If no one abuses and exploits and its fair for everyone though I would love a transfer saves me time lol
i say no. it will be cool to see alot of low level people run around and group with each other. i think it will be cool to have millions of people at low levels. it will make the game alot of fun. and you will not have beggers becouse no one will have alot of gold. so everyone will have to start from the begining.
that is my two cents

Which FF Character Are You?
Well it may be too boring to start over but you are not paying to play you are testing. Why should you have a complete set of 35 level characters and be able to one use items that you gained because of bugs or because of tweak issues. Why should you be able to go ahead and gank at will because you have played the game since the beginning. Again why do you get to keep everything that you have gained because you have tested. If it is going to be so boring then quit and don't bother paying to play. It looks like all you do is game anyhow with all the games in your list. You realy don't need another obviously. Testers gained the advantage of playing the game and knowing things that non-testers don't yet. That is your reward. Now quit your complaining and go back to playing another game.
There are several thousand people who would like to imagine themselves in your situation. I don't think you're going to find much sympathy here.
You have the upper hand of knowing where to get your lvls at, the quests and huge jump on the items and how to play the chars. That is your reward for playing beta for free all those months.
I think NO, I saw what happened in L2 it wasn't pretty.
Blizzard famouse of making bad things good so I think they should come up with some great idea like creating a pay per play server for current testers without removing their accounts. Now that what I call a great idea!

The only ones voteing yes are the CB testers
Sad thing is - Its a fargone conclusion alot of CB "testers" dont do much testing at all. If Blizzard was able to track the amount of /bug reports by testers - I wouldent be shocked at all if they released some stat like 50% or more of the "testers" had never or barely used the thing... It's just another game to play, beat and then /quit and wait for the next free ride...
Beta Tested = The Realm, EverQuest, Dark Age of Camelot, Ultima Online, Lineage, Asheron's Call, AC2
Played = The Realm(retired Mod Account), EverQuest(retired Mod Account), Dark Age of Camelot, UO(retired), AC(retired), DAoC(retired).
Beta Tested = The Realm, EverQuest, Dark Age of Camelot, Ultima Online, Lineage, Asheron's Call, AC2
Played = The Realm(retired Mod Account), EverQuest(retired Mod Account), UO(retired), AC(retired), DAoC(retired).
It ruined the economy in Lineage 2. People who didn't want to pay for the game gave all of their stuff away.
My vote: BIG NO.
All my friends agree with me on this one either and they are not testing the game. I dont understand you people you all so jalous you know about some beta tester leave them alone!!! give them private server so they can play with each other and believe me we going to have lot more fun then you guys. you will all be praying to join our serve because of our superb economic system. I got lots of good friends in beta and believe me they are good kids and we can make something good with the game.

The ONLY way they could keep the CB chars is if they made a test server and moved them all to that one. It would not be fair for all the new people to come in and have all those high lvl chars ingame. Think about it for a minute. Do you really believe that those high lvls will not mess around and gank all the newcomers? I know many will not, but you and I both know that there will be morons who will get a kick out of screwing up someones elses day.
The game has changed several times throughout beta through the course of patching. Things that have been, are not anymore. People have leveled their characters through means that might not be in the game now due to changes. Why should they keep their characters on the normal servers, when they haven't played their character the RIGHT way? Quests have changed, the rewards, amount of xp gained. This would be unfair for the new gamers.
Take the experience of learning the game, the maps, the quests and I am sure you can level yourselves in no time. You have an advantage that thousands will not. I am sick of hearing how the CB should be able to have their characters in retail because they have a right from all their time spent testing. You have gained something from testing, and that is the knowledge of the game, the hot spots, the secrets. Take what you already have learned and stop begging for more.
Anyhow, just to add I have read several threads on the beta site where people demand to have their characters intact at retail and I happy to say that not every beta tester is as greedy as the next. There are some that do realize this would be a disadvantage for retail and have stated so. They are satisfied with the fact they were lucky enough to have been chosen to test the game. It would be nice if all the CB testers had the same mindset, but we all know that will never be the case.
If you do not get to keep your characters and refuse to buy the game because of this, than so be it, have a nice day...
I say NO WAY!!! I would be pretty pissed if they do let the beta characters cross over to retail.

I've got a bad feeling about this.
Hmmm, they're letting you play a game for free, while the rest of us have to suffer during the wait, and you have the nerve to complain that you'll be bored lvling up again... so let you have your beta character?
The mere fact that the CB testers have much more expeience playing the game, means they'll lvl up quicker. That alone is reward enough, and you should be shot for asking for anything more =(
No way.....
I like the idea that everyone is starting out on equal footing.
ROLEPLAYERS UNITE!!!!!
Critical thinking is a desire to seek, patience to doubt, fondness to meditate, slowness to assert, readiness to consider, carefulness to dispose and set in order; and hatred for every kind of imposture.
Are you stupid or what? That you got to keep your char for open beta, ok ...but retail?
You got a PRIVILEGE of playing beta while others were NOT ALLOWED in and you request an advantage? As if having played for months was not enought of an advantage o_O.
On another note, Im quite okay to wipe closed beta chars, starts a clean open beta (anyone can play thus..) and keep the open chars for retail just like so many other games did (DAoC,Biosfear/Savage Eden and more).
