Ok, Just so you guys know, Open Beta starts on the 28th of March (not sure about the time).
Characters WILL be wiped before OB but will not be wiped from OB to retail.
According to the Lineage newsletter, OB will last about 1 month, after we'll need to purchase the Lineage 2 game from a retail store. It seems like the purchase of the game will grant you an extra month for free.
I will post the server number to which we'll be going as soon as I get some info on how many servers there will be.

It seems like the beta is going to start on the 28th at midnight PST, not at 12pm, as we had said before... (so 9am for Europe)
here's the excerpt of the press release:
Austin, TEXAS, March 24, 2004 - NCsoft ® Corporation (KSE: 036570.KS), the world's leading developer and publisher of online computer games announces plans to begin open beta testing for its soon to be released online game, Lineage ® II : The Chaotic Chronicle . The free open beta period will begin at 12:00 AM Pacific Standard Time on Sunday, March 28 and last approximately one month. The game is scheduled for commercial release on April 28.
