Since nobody seems to want to take time to actually read their forums and just keeps asking when the wipe is, here it is:
From the PW main forums:

Cubizone Reward System
Cubizone’s Reward System is a system created to encourage players to become trainers and introduce newcomers or friends and family members to join Perfect World Online.

IMPORTANT REMINDER:
Please ensure that friends who register using your Promoter Code do so during registration as the Promoter Code cannot be added later. The account you register with Cubizone is your Perfect World account. You can log in with your Cubizone account. Characters will be wiped at the close of Closed Beta (12th October)
We hope as many players as possible will log in and play. Please bear with us as we stress test the server. There will be a bug report forum opened during Closed Beta for any bugs you might find. For example, chinese text when guildmembers are promoted/demoted.
Char customization is awesome though. I made a fem char so that guys would swarm around me without any verbal provocation, then when they tried to hit on me I'd do the emote to punch them you-know-where.
