    We are testing it for them >_>
    helping find bugs so they can work on them before ob.
    And guess what ... thats what ob is for too.

    Im was stick around till Stargate Worlds comes out
    but the game is pretty good so i might play here longer ^_^.

    ~Magoo.

    I've beta tested before, but this is the only time where they deleted the accounts, i can understand beta testing and just finding bugs, but if others let you keep your guy, then why shouldn't perfect world? Maybe they don't want us to have a advantage

    In many games I've beta tested ( closed beta ) there isn't any single game that didn't do a character wipe. lol.

    Would it be fun to get PK'd by lv6x characters once you hit lv30 on OB?

    You obviously haven't beta tested often enough. It's pretty standard practice to delete characters after closed beta. It'd be rare if they DIDN'T

    They nearly always wipe CB, seeing as it provides an uneven advantage to those who couldn't play it.

    So IDK what your talking about xD

    Well honestly, we are helping them out by testing. Don't we get anything as a thank you?
    I'm new to MMORPG, so finding out that i'm going to loose a guy i worked hard to level up is a bummer.

    Guess that's how the cookie crumbles.

    Every single game I've played cb have had a wipe, not saying there weren't cbs I read about not getting wiped but there were very few.

    Actually I know this since my friends over in malay helped the beta.

    Not only did you keep your characters they gave 3M ingame gold to each character over 80. Those who know this, it explains a little bit of the questioning. 1 For one don't really care. CB is a time to gather people for guilds for OB more than anything besides testing.

    Also my question is. Is there going to be maybe a drop or experience event to reward the beta testers?

    No, there will not be a drop / exp event to reward the beta testers.

    Do CB beta Testers get anything as a reward for helping the game?

    This is my first time testing a Closed Beta game. The admins have good enough reasons to not reward beta testers. Actually.. you have already been rewarded! To test the game! (Awesome face)

    Just wait for the Open Beta to be out and forget about getting something special for testing. I care about how much i have leveled up in CB, but you will need to face it xD

    Then you go to school, and you play when you are back.

    In one game I was close beta tester in, we had 3 wipes...

    So get over with it. There will be a wipe. It was announced before it started. If you don't like it, you should have waited for the open beta phase.

    How are the Closed Beta Testers selected ? Is it 100% Random, or based on when you created an account, or based on..anything else.

    Anyone ?

    Well, as long as you have a beta key that was given from certain websites, you're in.
