Question by Justin: Aion beta and release?
I’m planning on buying the pre-order for the new MMO called Aion that is currently in beta so I have a few questions since I haven’t been able to find any information online.
When Aion releases, will characters and stats created during the beta events transfer over to the official version?
If you joined a guild, will your character stay in the guild for the official version or will guilds reset?
A friend of mine told me that he payed $ 5 for the pre-order. If you pay $ 5 and then decide you don’t like the game while playing the beta, are you under contract to pay the remaining $ 45 or can you just not pay the rest and not recieve the actual game?

These are fairly simply questions. 
I will be more than happy to answer them.
1) Aion will release on the 22nd of September, you will not get to keep anything from beta events, currently in the beta, each character is saved for each event, they do not get wiped. They will get wiped prior to Open Beta, and then prior to the headstart pre-orders get which is after Open Beta ends.
2) Everything will be wiped, including guilds. You will have to start fresh, so if your guild plans to play release, and wishes to keep players they have in their guild currently, they should make a website for you guys to join and contact eachother from there for server information and what not.
3) If you pay $ 5 for the pre-order you will not have to pay the entire amount if you decide to not get the game, you will just not be able to receive the $ 5 back. The only exception I know of at the moment, is if you bought the game from NCSoft’s store, they will not refund you anything as they charge for the full retail price, so you would be out of $ 50.
