Question about characters you made during the NPE

I had 2 free slots during the NPE and decided to make one into a PvE dervish where I would try to find a good dervish PvE build (I managed to do this BTW) and the other for PvP characters.

However at the end I decided since I didn't have a use for the other slot to keep my dervish to reserve the name.

So far my character's lvl hasn't been reset to 1 and my question is.

Will Nightfall characters be reset at lvl 1 or will this be different and we'll be able to pick-up where we left off?

They will be reset but it might be when it gets closer to going live.
