The sole reason I started to play an MMO was to be able to grow my character over time unlike regular games where you play for a few weeks and then stop.

If I can't play Cynthis and keep her progress for 3 months or more then I will consider her goals fulfilled and move on with my real life. It would cheapen my memory of her to start from scratch with a new character and besides, I simply don't have then energy to go through it all again. As for the new low/mid-level content, Cynthis can I experience all that when new classes are introduced as is fitting.
Oh no, you misunderstand.

I've done a lot on my character as well and would not want to re-roll, and if that were the case, I'll have a hard time convincing myself to continue playing the game if I started anew.

I meant to say that whatever character we play on beta, since our original character(s) will be inactive at the time, will be our placeholder(s) for our original character(s). I say this since perhaps some players want to change race, or gender, or name, and they technically can do so in the beta while their data is being converted/transferred.

What I meant to say about starting from scratch is that characters in betas usually start from level 1. And going by what I said before about a placeholder, say you create a new version of Cynthis during the beta. That version of her will then have data transferred from "old" Cynthis. As for the progress you make in beta, I don't know, but I hope you get what I'm saying.

I should have elaborated more, my mistake ><
