Will Diablo III beta achievements persist into the retail release?

Has Blizzard mentioned anything about D3 beta achievements and rewards persisting into the retail release? Did they do that for the SC2 beta?

I'm digging it but with the prospect of losing my character progress (again -- it is a beta after all) and potentially achievements (again, again) my desire to load it up is waning.


Solution 1:

No.

Blizzard has now officially confirmed what everyone suspected. See the first three posts at

Forum poster: iam 100% sure there is nothing that will carry over from beta same as Starcraft2 beta

Blizzard CM: Correct. The Diablo III beta is a completely different game in Battle.net from the retail game that is Diablo III.
