Will beta characters be deleted?

Will the characters we make from this weekend be deleted on Monday? Or do they just get locked?

I assumed that like the Factions beta event, the character will stay, but will be reset. That means you keep your name and what your character looks like, but level, items, etc. will all be erased.

Ok. I wont put all my time into it then .

I wonder how many actually know that?

Someone already cried that he found a black dye...

Can that person access a storage to put the dye in?

Haven't seen Xunlai agents anywhere, so I think not. Storage was disabled in Factions preview event as well.

its may be we'll be able to keep them, but storage agents being removed is so the items dont make it into the main game until nightfall is officially released. of course maybe not also

I hope the characters won't get deleted, I'd like to keep my name!

Your name stays..in the event that you delete your char, I think you have 30 mins to use that name again on a new char..after that it goes into the name pool and is up for grabs.

I have a question....it has probably been answered here before but I just stumbled on this and the idea popped in my head.

I have done the quest to get my Grey Giant mini pet. He is now in my inventory for my soon to be wiped out character. When I enter the NightFall cd key will the pet be gone? Can I go back and do the entire quest again? Will the broken toy (quest item) still appear when I try again? Just wondering.

If memory serves* me correctly, during the factions preview, once the event was over, the character got "locked" and you couldn't do anything with them at all - not even delete them. But, once factions was released and added to the account, the character was unlocked with all the items, skills, and armor they had earned during the preview. With the Nightfall PvP preview, created characters could be deleted after it ended, so that may be the case this go around. I would suspect that once you add the Nightfall game key to your account, your character will be unlocked & all their wonderful stuff will still be there.

Thats a link to the official guild wars event page for this world preview. If you scroll all the way down you get to this section:

"The Nightfall World Preview Event will begin September 22 at 12:01 a.m. PDT and run until 11:59 p.m. PDT on September 24. At the end of the event, all Nightfall characters that players have created and all Nightfall items they've acquired will be removed from participating accounts, and the Nightfall content will be removed from the live servers. So, don't miss out!"

Also, I haven't seen any storage agents, and I think I also read somewhere that you can't access storage. The reason Anet doesn't do this is so that people don't charge players ridiculous amounts of money for new "skins" that will soon be realeased in Nightfall.

As far as names go.... I'm not sure if your name will stay.

I edited it. It was extended from 30 to 60 awhile ago.

officially answered that the character will be wiped
