In a recent Kickstarter comment, the developers of Project Gorgon made it known that no wipes are currently planned at all. This includes all of testing through to launch and beyond. They see this as an opportunity to encourage backers to invest time into playing the game throughout testing.

That doesn't mean that everything on your character is safe, though. If related to the balance of the in-game economy, a specific skill may be wiped. Items are on the chopping block, as well, but your character and overall progress will be safe, nonetheless.

This new information has also been added to the FAQ on the main Kickstarter page.
