Clarification: 1.0 Characters during Beta Phase -> Launch date

I read in these threads, somewhere in the vast abyss of pages upon pages of confusion. *ahem* However, I can't find where exactly I read this. I know it's the sticky but ... alas it's eaten by the thread-monster.

Need Clarification.
Whatever we do on our 1.0 characters in (phase 3/was it phase 4 *if accepted into beta), will be carried over to launch?

And we are given one chance to re-construct our characters appearance? And that one change will carry over to launch?

So, if I level let's say my miner to 40 that carries over?

Thank you in advance. I probably sound like a broken record. And I'll probably stumble into the answer to my question after I submit this. But I thank you. It's hard to keep up with all SE's/ARR information since it seems to be only on the Lodestone.

phase 4 will carry to launch unless there is a major issue. Meaning everything you do from phase 4 to the end of time "counts."

Not phase 3. This was stated in multiple locations.

recustomization won't be until at least phase 4, probably launch. Not 100% sure on that one.

Thank you Alhanelem. *^*
I found it after you posted. Of course, the information wasn't there on the Lodestone before, is now there.
