Character continuation.

[Subliminal]

I just thought of something and I dont think it's been brought up yet. Do our characters carry from the beta to the game as they did in E&B or will it be 100% new characters on release?

[WNxUndeadFenix]

i HIGHLY doubt it...

EDIT: whups just noticed my post didnt make sence what i mean is I highly doubt that teh chars will carry over:D

[OmnipotentKiwi]

I also highly doubt it.

[The Eternal]

I think I remember them saying they won't carry over, because they don't want to give anybody an advantage (besides already knowing how to play the game)

[Revulsion]

Doubt it

[Hife246]

I tihnk they should, just they reset chars. So u can reserve the name.

[Sando138]

i dunno, i'd be mighty POed if someone had the unfair advantage to secure my name before i could. i'm not in the beta.

[Kyonye]

beta characters never carry over. if you make it into beta, and max out your character, it would be cool to start over.

[Hife246]

Liek Subliminal said, in Earth abd Beyond you could continues ur character over from teh beat. I did so its not just something they said would happen.

[Irnbru]

how long does it take to max a character? guess it depends on your play style.

Dev's said 2-3 months for the "average" player, whatever that means.

[Irnbru]

i think that means a few weeks for ppl who have too much time on their hands ;)

[Meshuggah]

I'm gonna max my character in one day.
Tho my days tend to last longer than the normal ones when I'm sunk into something intresting ;)

[Irnbru]

you define a day as "time you're awake without sleeping" too? :p

[TheJrade]

Yep, I think if you're reading this, you officially fall into the 'too much time' category

[Hawklans]

I too have days that last for 48hrs and such -

The only trouble i have is that "RL" game that keeps interrupting especially the "Boss" who seems to keep insisting that I do "Work"

Not sure what the "Boss" means, as I havent had to do any in the past but will check out www.howstuffworks.com to see what it means

Char wipe... no one will survive teh beta!

http://www.planetside-universe.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1558 Dosn't directly say char wipe but since you can't reserve a name during beta... what are the odds that you can use your beta acount and have a unnamed char at launch heh.

[Hife246]

I read somewhere that they said 3-4 months for the "average" player, meaning they play the game and are pretty decent but have a life. and something like a month or so for teh "Hardcore" players.

guess i'll have to join that club
:cool:

[Irnbru]

i've read thru FAQs and such, but i must've missed this part... How many chars can we have on a server?

[Zatrais]

4 pr server.

[Hife246]

This was a while ago and wasn't in FAQ from what I can remember..

[SpartonX]

oops, i didn't bother checking if this thread had a second page

[Duritz]

You know the obvious way to figure it out is that there is only one beta server, in St. Louis, I believe. So, Unless you want that character on the central server, you would be straight out of luck. With most people changing servers it would be a waste to keep all of the accounts around. Just wipe 'em and be sure.

[Irnbru]

thx Zatrais

[Hellsfire123]

Well, appearently im the only one who actually read the NDA and didnt just check all the boxes. I wish they would actually post the agreement somewhere, so i could qoute it, but i cant find it anywhere. In any case, under the catagory for characters, it said all characters would be erased before the game went gold, and would not be garunteed during beta. Answer you question?

Anyway, 4 characters per server, all have to be in the same empire.
