Assuming all beta accounts are wiped and we have to recreate all our characters, what will happen to our money? For example, will my CorSec character lose both the million in his wallet and the 800,000 in his bank account, or will money in the bank be saved?

Or will I be back to square one and have to "replay" all my RP thread's stories?

Beta is completely separate from the final. We'll reset characters and banks, aside from the occasional event which specifies a prize that'll carry on through release.

We may give people a starting bonus for participating in the beta though, but we want to avoid too much unfairness for new players.
