I see that beta starts soon, at release will these servers be wiped.. or is this one of those betas that's really a release but they call it beta so people don't yell at them so much? I see that Membership is required to play in beta.. will it also be required to play when released?
I would be surprised if they don't wipe at the end of the beta period. And yes you will need a membership.
So no to free to play players, original content, limited marketplace (I wish they took this out all together), the only thing lacking is a RP tag on the server. Sounds like it's time to start playing mmorpgs again.
99.9% will be doing a wipe at the beta. I feel like I actually saw a dev post yes to this but I am to lazy to find it. But I also play on the EQ progression server and they did a wipe at the end of that beta, which is a good reference that they will do the same here.
