Destiny Beta Characters Will Not Transfer To the Final Game

Shame to lose the character but I figured this would happen. Level the playing field before release

Confirming the suspicions we've had since the game was announced to be receiving a beta, the characters created during Destiny's beta will not transfer to the final game.

If you participated in the beta, you won't start Destiny completely empty-handed, but you will have to start your character from scratch. We were all fairly certain this was going to happen, but Bungie recently confirmed it, just to make sure there was no confusion. Bungie designer Tyson Green also offered an explanation as to why:

"Since the Beta, we’ve continued to tune and adjust the game. The way you earn experience has been adjusted up and down a bunch of times. Items have been added and removed. New features toggled. Although there’s no single monumental change, the sum of the tweaks leaves characters from the Beta Build in strange shape that would be confusing at best, broken at worst."

Destiny releases September 9 for Xbox One and Xbox 360, and PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 – at which point you will be able to hold onto your progress permanently.
