News of the achievements system has just been posted on the main page but one thing remains unclear.

It has been said several times that the achievements and history system would be different. A simple question now :

Considering we will already have achievements complete at the release of the patch, will they be automatically carried over ?

I'm obviously speaking about things like "Be a level 50 miner", etc...
