[DEV] Question about "Characters created during phase 4"

[Orophin]

I think they would need to be explicitly clear if they meant just appearance. Since it's open beta, i think they would make a lot of enemies wiping progression. Lots of potential on-the-fence customers will quit if they have to start over.

They just need to be clear about it. There are several games that wipe your progress in open beta before retail. IIRC, the only thing that was saved from 1.0 beta to retail was your character template.
