when the game is released all accounts are reset except for unlocks so nothing that would go in your inventory or on your character

During the PvP Preview Event, both Guild Wars Prophecies and Guild Wars Factions players will get a first look at Guild Wars Nightfall, and will be able to try out the two new professions being introduced in the game; the Dervish, a scythe-wielding holy warrior, and the Paragon, guardian angel of the Elonian people. In addition to testing out the new professions and arenas, players will also be able to compete for items that will be exchangeable for a variety of rewards throughout the weekend event.

From the press release - bolded the special items bit...

i don't think it will be a Scythe or a spear. It most likey will be something else, something that we have already seen or something total new. We got 1 week to find out, but they may hint us earlyer.

In order to get anything besides the same old generic armor and weapon skins you have to do PvE, so I actually think this is a nice change of pace. Plus I really doubt its PvP exclusive, just a preview of new items.
