Bungie confirmed that they won’t keep the Guardians that were created during beta!
They said the weeping is all about the updates that have been made to update the current game version. They adjusted the amount of experience you get, deleted and added things, …
The game would be broken if the beta Guardians are still alive and that’s not the way the game should launch.
We quote Bungie:
“our beta characters won’t transfer to the final version of Destiny. The vaults have been cleaned out, too.”
Developer Tyson Green said the following:
“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. On September 9, you can create a Guardian who will keep you company for a good, long time. On a long-enough timeline, you might decide to delete him or her and start over again – but that will be your call to make.”
