Actually, I was looking through the past weekly updates and no where does it say that the inventory items will not carry over...I've seen videos and nothing said either... They did say the "beta character" is gone and will not carry over and the same for the rank... Which oddly enough, there's been changes to everyone's online inventory and ability tree... I now have 5 motes of light and some rather nice armors and a strange icon in the arm band section of the Warlocks abilities... I'm thinking that it is possible that the inventory items might very well carry over... Then again it may not, but I didn't read or see any vids saying that it wouldn't. Just that the beta "character and level" will not... here's to hoping. If anyone does know that it's confirmed please link it...
