Yeah, it's pretty standard practice to do a character wipe before retail. To expect otherwise would be a bad expectation.

And thank God they will be deleted.

I've heard numerous horror stories from Lineage II.

I wonder what will happen to the server farm they're using for Beta. Think they'll use it as a dev environment? And if so, I wonder if they would consider leaving it up and running when WoW goes live.

I personally think it would be a decent idea to have a test server running along side the prod servers for content releases and subsequent QC instead of piloting all the new patches in prod. And, of course, let us all keep playing for free cuz we're all such good testers =D

UO runs a test server that's up all the time. It gets periodically wiped.

Works great because they do the updates to that server first, let people play around with it and find the bugs, then when it's bug-free they do it to the live servers.

Most mmo's these days have test servers that run full time, I played around on the SWG and coh test servers extensivly. Thats one thing that bugged me about FFXI they had a test server but it was for japanese only.
