    At the end of closed beta, all chars will be wiped. Useful reading for newcomers : ---->http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=6281

    (We are still waiting to see any improvements or changes beign implemented. More empty promises from PWI?)

    Hard work? This is a game, not a job. Try to have fun for once...

    ... that felt so hypocritical.

    Closed Beta servers usually have a multitude of different potential reasons. None of which are for actually progressing and keeping the character from it.

    It's a Quality Control to make sure the server implimentation went well, it gives the ones responsible for the server a way to get a peak at what problems are common to occure and which are less. Could be with this game customers have a common issue were after patching they can't connect to a server right. Could be people have a difficulty were the patching process is stopped by a program running on their system. Could be the server doesn't retain character information correctly because they setup a database wrong, could be there might be an issue with auctioning or the cash shop not interacting with the game right.

    The closed beta is sort of two folds, a sort of "Kick the tires and give it a spin" and a silent advertisement of a game comming that a select few can get some exclusive looks before it's ready for the populous. Another way you could put it is the closed beta is a "Black Box". You enlisted a force of people to be testers that have no knowledge of the inner workings, so they produce data for monitoring purposes to establish what issues may exist for the inner workings.

    I don't understand why do people think Closed Beta wont wipe, it's pretty common sense also. The big question is always referring to Open Beta. Closed Beta is an obvious wipe, so many exploits etc can be found in the game. There are always beta testers that tests exploits and use it in launch though after the game promises to not wipe.

    Pretty much is common sense but for those who never play online game i guess makes sense
    just test out what you would perfer. For instance if you playas a WR and u turn out u dont like him you haveall the time in closed beta to make another char. Open beta is when everything counts im not saying u gotta rush but closed beta for testing if you would like the game, what u like more and for stupid glitches.
    Now have fun.:)
