::''The characters on the Beta Realm are copies of all characters on USWest at the time it was cloned to the Beta Realm in late April, and new characters created since then.   The Beta Realm exists only for the beta test though, it and all the characters on it will be wiped when the beta ends, and no, there's no way to convert characters or save items from Beta to any other Realms. 
 
People often ask about Betas if the testers get a head start and get their characters saved, and the answer is always no, since it wouldn't be fair to others who didn't get into the beta.<br /><br />
