I was just wondering if you are going to be able to keep these characters come release or is blizzard going to do another character wipe before may 15th, thanks in advance for any information!

It'll probably work the same way beta has always been for every MMO ever. Your beta character doesn't get transferred into live.
Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.
So I chose the path of the Ebon Blade, and not a day passes where i've regretted it.
I am eternal, I am unyielding, I am UNDYING.
I am Zethras, and my blood will be the end of you.
Of course not OP, EVERY single thing in the beta will be wiped clean meaning the beta in your computer is now 100% worthless as well. In short
Nothing will carry over to the live servers
Bashiok confirmed nothing atall is kept on Twitter.
How about achivements? The "Betamaxed" or whatever its called, do they stay?
no... why would you. i made tons of gold got tons of items in D3 cause of a bug that reset me once but not my level on hard core

So we don't get to keep achievements either? That's retarded. I literally spent the entire weekend getting "Overachiever" for getting every single achievement in the beta. I assumed that at least that one, or that one and "Betamaxed" would carry over to live. Something like in WoW the feats of strength tab for achievements, the ones that are no longer available. Now I feel like I wasted the entire weekend...wait, I did.
That's the exact reason they wont carry everything over.
You spent all that time because you thought you'd get something that other people wouldn't have, because that would mean something to you. It would also mean something to other players, some of those who would have never got a beta invite and wouldn't have been able to play in the open weekend, so it's unfair for them to not have an equal chance.
With WoWs feats of strength for pretty much all of them were open to anyone playing at the time, the few that weren't or were extremely hard are things from the past that can't be changed.
Everything earned in the BETA gets wiped out, so it's fair for every one.
Of course you can't keep those characters. If you could it would give people that were in beta a head start on people that could not participate in the beta, which would be rediculous.
