Good question. Truth is no one really knows (except for the devs) but as this is beta the chances are high you will have start over. Betas are test servers therefore not the finished game. Some players have had a greater advantage over others. Take me for example, I won Urgot now known as Dawnbringer before the patch limiting him to Master Chief rank and over. Is that fair? I don't think so.


However, any gems and VIP status will be carried over into the live game, although you may have to begin again, you will still have your gem purchases.
