So I bought, redeemed the code, put on my beta account. I see in the control panel of account page to download the client, just like I saw on beta. I still have beta client installed on my PC (which by the way, was a birth to download). Should I...

1) Uninstall the beta client, download from the same page (updated with the pre-order) and install now, patch etc.

Or

2) Keep my beta client and just patch it when the game is launched in April.

Or

3) Uninstall the beta and wait for the download closer to the launcher.

My reason to ask such question is because I purchased it already and want it installed all perfect to grant me a no headache launch experience, because I've lost 2 days of beta just downloading the client (my fault since I didn't do it early).

I can't see how this violate the NDA, I had to mention this beta stuff to be clear. Thank you for any replies.

They say you should remove the beta client but really in all my years of beta testing mmo's i have never removed the beta, i just patch it up and go with it. Might not be the best thing to do but i have never had any issues with it.

I just uninstalled the beta client. The download only took me an hour anyhow.

I'll remove the beta client in March.

The beta client has "Beta" in the command line parameters so I doubt it will work with live. You can probably fiddle it to, though.

Wait until a few days before early access. You might be invited to a BETA between now and then.

Your best bet is to uninstall the beta. You generally have excess files that is not included in the release version. You can get some conflict but not always. It be taking up room on you HD more than anything. The system requirement is 60 gig. If you keep the beta you may be using 80 gig's of HD.

Exactly what I was going to post. There is no reason at all to download it now, 2 months in advance. There's a decent chance you'll have to do it all over again as they are still doing major updates to the game.
