The same restrictions as was on the closed beta concerning level caps is in place, you will however be using the 1.5 live client with all updates which will be the client used at launch. All characters from the closed beta is now wiped and those used in the Open Beta will be as well, don't burn yourself out on the Beta, relax through the content and enjoy yourself, save some for the live launch!
Work is still in progress on the website, since I have so much to do at work I thought I might as well start adding some content, via blogs and such. I do hope that people will sue this fuction to make it a much more dynamic and enjoyable site. My vision of sorts is that you shouldn't need to leave the page and go around everywhere looking for news from the community, you'll get pretty much everything you need from a glance on the homepage.
