Factions to Prophecies ?

Hi.
My friend and I both have factions, lvl 20 and have both just killed Shiro, therefore completing the game.

And we were curious to know what would happen to our Factions accounts if we got Prophecies and installed that.

Would it get rid of the Factions chars or not?

Please help.

If you add a chapter 1 key to your factions account you will not lose your characters.

You'll gain a further two character slots (as opposed to 4 if you had both chapters stand alone)

You'll gain access to chapter 1 with your factions characters.

You'll be able to create chapter 1 characters and take them through tyria, these characters will also have access to cantha (factions).
