    I don't think that's how it will work. Playing with any character will increase the XP towards paragon levels for the account. The question is: should the XP that one character have gathered be removed from the account when it dies?

    There will be no benefits to dying with your character unless you can't create more characters and have to kill one off that's on plvl 100 (perhaps that's what you meant).

    There was an interview/bluepost that said
    - Under Paragon 2.0, if a character dies or is deleted, the amount of Paragon experience it contributed to your Shared Paragon level will not be lost. This is a benefit of having Paragon experience stored at the account level, rather than at the character levelI

    The question that is still pending answer - will already dead HC characters contribute to the accumulated Paragon level that will be evaluated when expansion hits. They haven't shared any details on this question, but if they decide to count - it's probably better to delay this announcement closer to the release to prevent possible "exploiting" and whine.

    Previously they have mentioned that they are leaning towards allowing experience from dead characters to count, but not final yet. As you say, if they decide to NOT count it, why would anyone want to play any of their high lvl characters right now? It makes no sense NOT to count it and in my opinion there isnt even a single good argument as to why it shouldnt.
    It makes sense at least to not announce it till the very end. Even if they decide to count dead chars experience towards your paragon level, if they announce it now - i'm pretty sure there will be people that will use all the time they have till release to level & suicide naked HC characters giving them those extra 100lvl worth of experience. This way they'll have a huge advantage at the expansion start.
    Leaving this question unanswered till some late point in time will at the very least limit the "damage" - if only one month left before release - you can't gain that huge of advantage.
