Everyone should relax about another CB...
Fiesta online is run by a completely different company than whoever runs shine online.
Haven't they proved reliable enough so far?

They don't generally wipe characters going from OB to official because everyone and anyone can play in OB, so its fair for all.

I'm pretty sure that they won't wipe OB, otherwise why would they let level 20+ people keep their names?

we can never be sure of anything =\

besides, mmorpgs have changed so much over the years and are still changing.
first phase :alpha: are phases to test out major bugs by privatly selected people
closed beta: says its to test bugs to select a few number of people but in reality is just letting a massive group of people in and let them find the bugs, and stuff that needs to be fix such as grammer, applications, and glitches, etc.
open beta: gather more people and gain more popularity to advertise more and get more people playing, and to find the final few bugs before official releases
r0: ReleasedOfficially: time to make money

companies that wipe after a closed beta phase dont usually have another closed beta phase but who knows =\

worst solution i see is open beta for 7 days, then boom, r0.

We can keep our names they'll just wipe all our equipments, levels, and money. Characters will start off at lvl 1

if they have another CB then im going to wait till OB. cause... i dont feel like leveling my guy up again and having him wiped lol.

Hmm you will prolly be waiting for like a month or 2 before OB comes out...if this next phase has more stuff then ill play it again.
