I dont really care, as long as my friend can play the game with me soon lol

another question:how much longer will cbt2 last?

um the gms said that at the halfway mark of cbt2 they would realease cs items with free spark cash. i dont no if u hav noticed but the only cs items are given out by the gms. unless the gms hav gone against their own word cbt2 is gonna last for at least 2 and a half more weeks or even more depending on when the gms give the spark cash to us.

There's no real answer for your question Jim. It's commonly believed that it will end extremely soon.

Although the GM's have the power to moderate the game, they don't have power much beyond that. They can't choose when certain things will be implemented into the game, because that isn't their place. GM's exist solely to moderate the game.

The cash shop will most likely be implemented next patch. This may explain delays in the closing of CB2.

But do keep in mind, most of what I've said is highly speculated, so don't get your hopes up.

you're saying there isn't a wait time to reuse the name of a deleted character? i haven't deleted one yet i'm just used to there being a wait time after deleting a character before the name can be used again. if there isn't a wait time then good.

Not exactly sure myself, don't feel like deleting a char to try it out either.

Will I keep my characters name?
This one's difficult to answer. Everyone remembers the original email that was sent out for CB1. It had this in it:

It's difficult to say whether they meant permanent for just the period of the Closed Beta, or whether they meant the character name would be kept for the account's existence. A majority of you would say the latter without hesitation. Yet I put forward this question, if the server wipe is most likely inevitable, then your character must begin again at level one, correct? With that in mind, does that mean Outspark will pick your class? Outspark said they'd reserve your character's name, yet I don't recall them saying anything about picking the character class for you. It's only because of this that I personally was confused about the server wipe. Though I'm more then certain it'll happen, it makes me think how Outspark chooses to solve this conundrum.

Short answer: Inconclusive.

And now I address this to the best of my ability. Yes, a character reset would most likely be have all names be set back to level one. However, I was thinking that they would simply reset all characters to level one, but retain the same hair and face that they had when they started at first, and possibly even the guilds and friends registered.

There's also another possibility.

There could be something similar for the ijji GunZ CB event as well. The top 100 players got name reservations, I believe. It's been heard and confirmed that the GMs have the power to rename people (someone said that their "Break" name got renamed to "Biyak".) Therefore, GMs might do things similar to what happened for Mission Impossible - Go through, check every account, write down the names associated with that account, and tell all those who got level 20 to e-mail them at Outspark staff (only once, I'd imagine), and rename the accounts accordingly. This could be a supplement to the "delete all accounts" theory. However, the hassle that most likely will accompany this could make the GMs pissy for a week.

To supplement the fact that names will indeed be kept, I took an excerpt from a sticky in the Gameplay sub-forum on Outspark.com

5.) "Will I get to keep my character after Closed beta ends?"

answer: painfully simple...NO. It is common practice for ALL characters to be deleted before a game enters Open beta phases. Fiesta is being very genorous and allowing people that reach 20th level to keep their characters name for later stages. But this is the name ONLY! not the character itself.
