Title: Ffxi Beta Character Data
Post by: VariableElite on February 07, 2006, 01:58:00 PM

Nothing new, most MMORPGs wipe characters at launch, for several reasons:

• Game mechanics may have changed, which alters the way a character is developed
• Testers usually enjoy accelerated leveling, so that it doesn't take months/years to get to high-level content
• Equipment, skills, and/or items gained through bugs and/or exploits, whether intentional or not
• To do otherwise is unfair to players that, for whatever reason, were unable to participate in the beta, yet still buy the game at launch
