From the beta test document:

Phase 4:
"Characters created during this phase will be carried over to the official release"

Needs some clarification, is it just the character appearance and name? Or is it also the progress you make?

There is some confusion in the wording.

It also says "Benefits such as early access may be offered between the open beta and official release."

So I am leaning towards a situation where only character appearance is saved, otherwise a benefit like early access would serve no purpose? Since phase 4 would be considered "early access" if all character progress is saved.

Clarification on if our character data from phase 4 is trying to be saved, or just the appearance and name.

Thanks,
