HoT beta weekend
Exact same client, in fact the beta takes place in the live world.
If you have prepurchased HOT, you should get the option to make a ‘beta character’ in the character creation screen. These characters have a copy of your account (so your gold etc) on creation but after this can not affect your account in anyway (gain achievements, gain/lose gold etc).
The characters are also limited in the sense they can’t use TP, join guilds etc as well.
ok, well I am wondering if I havnt pre-purchased thew expansion do I still get to play in the hot beta weekend?
also once HoT launches does it include an extra character slot?
If you have not pre-purchased, you will not be able to play in the BWEs.
As of now, the extra character slot is a pre-purchase bonus.
Good luck.
will I get the extra character slot right away if pre-purchased? also will my beta character carry over with its gear and such into the real release?
If you bought the game before January sometime this year you will get an extra slot in addition to the slots for the 2 higher priced options. It could be delayed a bit but will arrive. Beta slot will show up right away.
Nothing will carry over from beta to live.
have they handed out the extra character slots yet?
I don’t see one on mine
