Do the toons get deleted after each beta weekend?

If so, I only was able to play sunday and made two characters. First was a Elementalist to lvl 4. Didn't like the lack of HPs (wasn't teamed up with anyone), so I made a monk. Made lvl 6 in about hrs and really liked the character all around.

7 Ele/Mo, loved it. I also tried 7 Ranger/Mo. Elementalist and/or a Monk are likely to be my choice classes at release. I didn't get too far, but I tried a lot of builds just to get the feel.

Yes, in fact you char will no longer exist, there will be just a place holder to save your name with.

Lvl. 12 Warrior-Necro in the one BWE. I was owning with Sever Artery+Gash, Power Attack, Vampiric Touch, and Putrid explosion. I was getting double damage on some charr with the necro skills (56x2-->112 damage from putrid explosion or 43x2-->86 from vampiric touch) I still died plenty. It took my Gates of Kryta party about 10 tries to finally get to Lion's Arch.

My goals were to A) Have fun and B) make it to Lion's arch. Considering that I fulfilled both, this was a great BWE (my only one) Was around until the very end, and got to see the gnomes (I was in the nekkid dance by the fire in Ascalon City D1), the free money (somebody near me hit a 20k single bag) and XP, the fireworks, the worms, then finally kicked off of the server as it all finished. Woot! I'll be around at release .

Managed to reach level 11 with my Ranger/Warrior and level 8 with my Necromancer/Mesmer. Was indeed a fun BWE and they sure did end it with style.

I reached level 15 Ranger with my R/E build

I actually did a ranger without beast mastery for once, IT made me much more effective.

I'd be interested in knowing how long it took to get to a certain level, during the april bwe I achieved 14 levels in around 24 hours. With the levels talking longer to get the higher I was. Any of you guys remember how long it took?

Looking forward to the release, even thou i wont get to start playing before 1. May.

lvl 10 1/2 War/Mes. Was an ok build... But I think War/Mo would be better.

It took about 3 hours to get to level 6, and then I messed around north of the wall (pre-sear) for another 2 hours probably.
I played illusion, curses, and domination.

Took 2 chars to lvl 13. Just coincidence I guess. Wasn't bored at lvl 13, just wanted to try something else. E/Me and W/Mo.

I didn't touch my build I created in March's BWE. ~R/Mes - lvl 3

I made it to Bloodstone Fen with my guild mates running with me. Ended up being W/E lvl 16 and found some sweet items to deal out damage. Found some pretty sweet things that I unlocked too. Just wish I had been a ranger with all the bow grips I had found. I had all my attributes vested in Axe Mastery and Fire! It was fun seeing how quickly I could knock out some serious monsters with the "fire" power and man handling skills I created! I will go with that again at release and figure out what other profession creations I can come up with later!

I had tons of fun throughout these BWEs... the most memorable experience I had though was a few hours before the close of April's BWE. I had a short in-game conversation with Gaile Gray in Lions Arch before moving on to further missions. For Gaile... I hope you remember. My in-game name was Rushing Wind.

I hit level 15 in the March BWE with my El/Mo build and realized that it was actually extremely easy for my build to reach level 20 by soloing Bog Scale Blighters and later Lightning Drakes using Fisherman's Haven as a hub in the April BWE. I also earned probably well over 20,000 in gold using this method, given that I could easily earn about 1-2,000 in 15-30 minutes this way.

I hit 11 with my Nec/Ranger. Made it to Yak's Bend. Tried to do some quests there but our party was anniliated . Eventually I gave up and remember hearing about a Nekkid Dance party at Ascalon 1. I went, and was one of the founders of the "Necro Corner"

Mad it to lvl 13 with a purist ranger in Feb, but didn't play her again. In the March BWE I made it to lvl 14 with a ranger/monk...I took "Twin Raven" out again this month to see the sights and ended at lvl 17 (and about 3/4 of the way to 18)...wandered the wilds and pushed to see how much of the map I could cover...found all kinds of nooks and crannies and never even considered taking a screenshot of the map until tuesday mornng when I couldn't remember any of the names...aw, crap. Anyway, I also spent a bit of time going through old missions as an escort of sorts... A level 17 ranger would have been great when I was trying to run after Prince "dim-bulb" Rourik...so I fihured I would help some folks along...also passed out a few free weapons to lower levels...figured I wasn't going to get to keep 'em anyway, so why not?

After whining here Saturday night about repeatedly getting killed with my 9th level mes/elem, I took Freyas' advice and enlisted a henchman -- Steve, I called him. Good ol' Steve. He got me through a few quests, then I discovered I could solo again.

I spent the last few hours searching for Pockmark Somethingorother, which for some reason I enjoyed immensely. Was nice, I guess, just to be able to wander around without getting constantly smeared. I think that was when I finally decided that, yes, I will buy this game.

In the end I did find Pockmark but a hoard of beasties stood between me and some princess, so I gave up and went to party with the gnomes who say Ni!

I started a Ranger/Mesmer from scratch during the March Beta. I went from level 1 to level 16 and from the Kingdom of Ascalon to the Cape after Riverside (forgot exact name). I could have gotten to 20 but I spent about half my time using PvP characters and testing builds. And of course, watching gnomes blow people up. (levels 1 to 16 naturally. I got to 18 or so by geting exp from the rain of gold during the end)
