Q: What happens to my characters once the PTR testing period ends?
A: They remain on the PTR realm to be removed once the test ends. Characters on the PTR realm won’t transfer to the normal realms.

its just like east or west

after ladder reset it goes non ladder

on ClassBeta Realm

realm will dissapear but im certain they wont delete all files on the realm so.. chars will just be transferred to non ladder.. and next time when new patch about to come out they will put up classbeta realm again so yea ur chars will be there...

removed isn't the same thing as deleted. Check the dictionary.

We will be resetting the Diablo II ladder on March 23 with the release of patch 1.13. We anticipate all Diablo II realms to be down for approximately six hours during the reset. More specific information on realm availability on the day of the reset will be posted in the Battle.net Status forum. When the ladder is reset, all existing ladder characters will be converted to non-ladder. All characters and items being converted to non-ladder will remain intact, but once converted these characters will no longer have access to ladder content such as creating ladder-only rune words


Convert 1.12 in the officeal 1.13....

But blizzard is in A-MUR-I-KA. We like to do asshole things.

Remove = remote; separate; not connected with; distinct from

Delete to strike out (something written or printed); cancel; erase; expunge.

I wouldn't count on them becoming non ladder on any of the regular realms
it'd cause more trouble than blizzard will be willing to fix, like already existing account names and character names etc.
