from what i heard, you only keep your name and you have to recreate your characters, or they get reset.
hopefully someone can check that

Of course we all start from scratch as that shield you have, the armour I have, etc. may not be balanced with the final release of the game. It only makes sense so cya in pre-searing ascalaon maybe.

Last I heard, you keep your name and your character is reset back to what it is at ORIGINAL creation. In other words, your build will be there, ie, the hair, features etc, but you won't have anything you'd have picked up or crafted during the BWEs.

No carry over of guilds either, I think.

the latest from the site

If you have played in a Beta Weekend Event, your characters will not be removed from the servers. This is because we tie your character names to your existing characters, or to placeholder characters. All characters will by necessity be reset to starting levels and will possess starting skills and items when we release Guild Wars.

I enjoy starting over. We get to keep our names and characters and start over knowing a heck of a lot more than we did before the betas.

Some people are earning way too much when they can afford such luxuries, last BWE I barely scraped up enough cash for an incomplete set of generic lvl 15 Monk armour.

I believe last time I checked, Guild Names will be preserved from the Beta Weekend Events into the release version of Guild Wars. No need for a petition, we got ya covered.

1500? That's like pocket change - you should be able to pharm it in an hour or two without trying too hard.

Keep in mind that not all of us are named Ensign... and not all of us will be in Lion's Arch before the end of the first HOUR of live gameplay. lol

But yeah, 1500 isn't something to worry about...

Thanks, Loviatar. I wonder if the actual existence of the guild, with capes, memberships, and trappings will be preserved, or will we still have to pay to reform them in the game? Maybe it's just the names that will be preserved for use, and not the actual guilds themselves. We'll find out, I guess.

otherwise an established guild would have a good size head start so i think the name is what you get

maybe the cape design but you pay for it again

I'm guessing the guilds will still be there, but no capes and no guild hall. It'll be just like you'd spent a mere 100 gp to get the tag on your name and that's it.

That's what I'm thinking will happen. I don't really care about the hall, rankings, or what-have-you, since we haven't had the chance to do much PvP yet, but I would like to keep our capes. We kinda got used to them.

i sincerely hope they won't wipe guilds like they did last during the january wipe. not that it's hard to farm 1500 gold, it's more annoying that i don't have all my members on my friends list...

Yeah its not the 1500, its the uber gold shield that someone sold me from last BWE that i really wanted, he wanted 3,000 but it was late sunday night, 11:45 pm i think, and all i had was 1,500 so he gave it to me anyways...havent even gotten to try it out yet. Whoever that was thnx for such a great deal. Cant wait to try it out.
