No, it has been decided that once the game goes officialy live, all characters will stay! !THEY WILL NOT BE WIPED LIKE THEY WERE FROM CLOSED BETA! No matter what lvl your characters are, they will stay, all your items, dil, armour. Everything, will stay! Although, new players from the EU cannot play if they register a new account, That is why DEKARON EUROPE is being realesed, unique for EU players but with all KR DEKARON items/skills etc............!
