Does anyone know if they will wipe our current toons for new game?
They will not. Your character will show up on the same server you were on, same levels, though some things will be different. Your gil will be 1/10 what it was. If you had 5,000,000 gil, you now will have 500,000. They've left a disclaimer out there that some info may need to be wiped, but it shouldn't be anything drastic.

Nice to know I won't have to play the "rush for a name" game at launch...

Nope, your toon is safe.
They'll be deleting the toons but keeping the characters. Make sure you create the appropriate one for the desired outcome.

They may be allowing a single name change when the servers open. I don't think it has been confirmed, but if they do allow you to change your name, you may want to be quick about it depending on what you have in mind.

I am so happy about this because I really regret not picking SephirothCloudVII.

Beat me to the punch, lol.
Oooh there's nothing like the FF fan who's been around so long that they can admit they don't want to be Cloud or Seph anymore. 
NoSephiroth in XI finally gave up the ghost last November. That was our linkshell's one founding rule.... "Your name must not be Sephiroth, nor any variation thereof. It's uncreative, and furthermore, confusing. No one wants to keep ten Sephiroths straight."

I've had a Sephiroth clone I was barely acquainted with get mad at me for not remembering who he was when he returned after a year's absence. It's hard to tell Xsefirothx from Xsefirrothx and from Xsephirothx at a glance.

Wait, they aren't all the same person? Didn't Jenova make like a million Sephiroth clones? For goodness sake people, is it really that fun to make the 100000 variation of a name?

What's really sad is (I just checked) there are 192 Sephiroths and 195 Clouds listed on the WoW Armory.
This doesn't include all the mangled misspellings of the names.
They are everywhere. In every game.

I see you're quoting from the JeNovah's Witness bible (obligatory VGCats link).

'Tis truth. Die quickly my brothers and sisters.

It's sad to try and pretend to be Sephiroth / Cloud / &c. in an online Final Fantasy. Doing it in World of Warcraft, I... I just don't know know what to say, aside from my sincere hope that none of them is trying to accomplish it while playing a beer-guzzling Chinese panda man. It would strain the immersion, you know.

As much as they should, no they won't.
There is not a single valid reason on this green earth why they should wipe out existing characters when they have the option for players who want to start fresh to start on clean servers.
Period.
Anyone who thinks they should is very, very selfish and short-sighted.

This seems a bit redundant. New players don't have any other option but starting fresh and older players could have started fresh on new servers in 1.0 version. Yes, I am very selfish and perhaps often short-sighted, but if you can't see the fact that people wanting to keep old character data also causes issues for the game, you're a bit of a hypocrite.

Its personal preference and all, but yes we need to educate WoW players that this is OUR game, these are Characters and not Toons. Time to beat that into them one at a time.

So even though they're making it so old players can't move to "fresh" servers, you think this is a bad thing some how? The only issues I can see by letting people keep their existing characters are
a) gil. Which they're doing something about.
b) equipment that may not make it to 2.0. Which they also already fixed in the patches for 1.0 (hence the "dated" gear).
c) Profile data merging into the new database. They also seem to have thought of this since it's part of a beta phase.
So no, I don't see how this makes me a hypocrite?
