Well thats what we thought before aswell since we have been following the game for so long and be quite active, yet now that appeareantly they will add many more people we do have some new hope we will just have to wait and see.
However is it really a beta? Or is it a trial meaning you make a char play for free some time then you need to active that account and you can keep playing? Or will they wipe everything its pretty unclear to me from what Tasos wrote :
"Starting on January 22nd there will be a Darkfall trial with the distribution of the release candidate client allowing thousands of players to sample the game for free, help us stress test our servers and test the final features of the game. " src:

Personally I would prefer if they wiped all we played cause obviously we would be in a disadvangate compared to beta testers who have already discovered shit. Yet on the other hand I dont think that many peeps have actually played dfo before hmmm.....
