Your first mistake was listening to what people said on the forums.

Only the character look. Not the gear, level, inventar, gil.

Please do some research before you post questions like this on the forums. The 2.0 documentation (easily accessible by the lodestone site) has everything you need to know about 2.0. Let's hope trolls don't take over this thread.

This question's been asked a million times and as it was all those times, the answer is no.

Please, stop spreading misinformation. Our characters are never getting deleted, not even temporarily. There isn't even going to be an "alpha," so stop pulling that crap out of your behind.

We're getting the "missing genders," namely female roegadyn and highlander, and male miqo'te. So anyone who wants to just change race entirely will be allowed to.

ok so what about a character name? will i be able to change that? say if i go from a female mithra to a male i wouldnt wanna keep the name i have lol.

Alpha is planned for september. Look at the E3 interviews.
During Alpha and Beta we don't play with our chars. We get them back with the official 2.0 start.
