For those of you who were with us in the earlier phases of Closed Beta (Before the summer black out), you might notice that we didn't wipe when we released our milestone patch last week. This was not an accident. We are no longer going to wipe your characters between each phase of Beta. In fact, if you completely forget about "phases of beta" the more the merrier as far as we are concerned. This is just closed beta! We patch frequently (at least when the holiday's don't slow us down), and being worried that your characters might be wiped should not be a cause for concern.
We want you to level up and test the higher levels of content.
