The latest ExileCon was packed with information about the new content and changes coming to Path of Exile 2 when it launches into 1.0 this December. One of the biggest concerns however, is what will happen to players preexisting characters when the update comes out.

The status of these characters has not been clarified recently. But there is still a post from the old early access FAQ, which GGG has not updated for 1.0.

The section is titled “Will there be wipes during Early Access?.” Within it, GGG states that “We will do new leagues but none of your characters will be wiped, they will just go to a league called Early Access (so they will never be in Standard).” Following up by writing that “After launch the “Early Access” characters will still exist.”

So it looks like the early access characters will be staying. But whilst this is good news, its important to remember that this has not been brought up to 1.0, and plans may have changed.
