    I have never played in beta testing.  Do you keep your characters name and they wipe your level to 1 when the game launches....or do they wipe the character comptely?

    It looks like every pledge level includes early name reservation.  I imagine this wouldn't extend to the open-beta (free) phase but anybody who is pledged would qualify for keeping their name.

    None of our pledges have head start or early access other than testing for different tiers and we did that intentionally because we want everyone to start equally at level 1 in rags with nothing other than a few cosmetic goodies from their pledges and that is it, this isn't like all of those modern MMORPGs that sell you 1 day or 3 day headstart access, that just promotes a split in the community right off the bat and is not something we would do to our community. :)

    Our servers will be wiped prior to release and every character will be included, those with name reservations etc. will be able to do that via a web service linked to their account most likely.

    Evoras, checked the dates carefully....

    About this if you check your profile the forum name is stated as Main Character Name so i figured this maybe is the reserved name wich is why i resently changed from Stratoz(my "online" name) to Grizzly (wich is my prefered char name in games). Dont know if this is right but if it is im god to go now, and figure its better to be recognised here and ingame with the same name.
