Oh hi Hiir! Long time no see.

Thanks for the info. So they'd need to make a new account in any case? Then it probably wouldn't matter much.

But wouldn't that mean that everyone who has not bought XIV before and is now buying it can't continue with their Beta characters when they buy a new copy of the game? Or is that just the case for Buddy Passes because they are 1.0 ?

Because I got some friends started on ARR now, and they preordered now, and they'd be pissed if they'd lose their Open Beta progress again.
