You're missing half the point. If they wipe closed beta and everyone starts fresh in open, there's little reason to wipe unless there was a huge exploit that gave people tons of certs over the course of hours, just as an example.

However, if we go from closed > open and no wipe, I wouldn't be surprised to see a wipe heading into release with station cash being refunded to us.

Essentially, just because it's a beta, doesn't necessarily mean there needs to be a wipe. However, Planetside 2 being a PvP game, I don't expect closed beta accounts to be privileged with maintaining their progress into release. I fully expect a wipe at some point.

On this topic in the Dust 514 beta right now you can buy items, and CCP will reimburse you all the in-game currency you bought upon release. Perhaps PS2 can do something similar?

My advice to the team is get it working by open beta because we all can't give you our money fast enough.
