Will chars be kept from this beta?

Title says it all.
Of course not the actual level, but you know, the created char, as a level 1. With name reservations etc.
Comments
Any name from GW1 will be reserved as a nme in GW2, if you logged into your GW1 account prior to July 31st. Also names from BWE2 and 3 will be saved (I think). Just the name is reserved not what type of profession or race it is.
There is currently no name reservation system in place, (at least as far as I know) so they will have to reset the servers to impliment the name reservation system for launch.
TLDR; No

I get banned in the forums for games I love, so lets see if I do better in the forums for games I hate.

I don't hate much, but I hate Apple© with a passion. If Steve Jobs was alive, I would punch him in the face.
Read the blog - there was - it ended July 31st.
Allright thanks.
Another question, cant I use my own looking gear in The mist and battlegrounds?
No beta characters are saved for launch, and the whole end-game is based on collecting aesthetic gear, so of course they're going to let you wear the gear you've acquired throughout the game, or else there's gonna be no point to the whole thing.
Logic is logical.
After all these years of MMO people still asking if beta toons are saved for launch
If it's not broken, you are not innovating.
Yes, I am aware that they have reserved names if you were logged in to GW1 before July 31. What I don't know about, is if they've implimented the reservations in the Stress test. Somebody would have to deliberatly try to use a name from another account to know for sure. In BWE3 I used a name from my second account with no problem. None the less, they won't be keeping characters from the stress test.

Theres a 24 hour name hold tied to accounts anyways. So come day one all you have to do is grab a name, log in, log out, delete it and that name is yours for 24 hours so you can make your character the way you want them to look without worrying about stealing your name.

Every now and then people are thrown a curve ball. Mostly F2P games have done this to get people into the game early and hook them before official launch, possibly to keep everyone from logging into the same zones at first and clogging things up, and get more people playing off the bat. But I believe Tera (monthly fee) also did so and didn't wipe characters during there open beta period at the end to incentivize pre-orders.
Its just because...
When I enter the Mists I get some other gear on my char, but the one I have in PvE... Thats why I ask. As of right now it looks like I can use the PvE gear in Battlegrounds/mist.
My bad, in WvWvW your gear you've acquired is used and showed, but in structured PvP (battleground types) everyone wears the same stuff with their team color.
Not sure if I like having my gear switched on me in structured, never really tried that. But whatever, it's not TOO big a deal, I guess.
