So if I participate in the beta test will I lose my character when the game is released? I could not find a beta forum or anywhere else to post this. I just need a short and quick answer. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Yes, all characters will be wiped before the game launches. And if you're a beta tester, you really should find the beta forums, you can't ask these questions here. The link is in your email.

Thank you for your answer and I will look over the email again!
