Four days and nine hours!
So does anyone have anything in particular they'd like to do in the beta?

I'll be moving on Friday, so I probably won't get to play until Saturday, and even then, not as much as I'd like. Still, if I get a chance to jump in, just the chance alone of learning the mechanics and feel of the game would be fantastic. I won't worry too much about the game's locales, since Anet has always been fantastic about making beautiful, awe inspiring levels, even in the less-than-stellar Eye of the North. Taking the time to fully appreciate those can wait until a full release.

I'll probably try out some 5v5 PvP after a bit of getting used to my character. I really want to test out my super-adrenal build

I'm probably just going to have two characters; one shall be a PVP character, one shall be a PVE character.
Not sure which what is going to be, though.

Probably understand the underlying mechanics of the game then figure out the DE system and see if it is all that it is cracked up to be.
Then off to some WvW!

I won't be doing a lot of PVP.
I'll be fighting for the Guild, yes. but going into arenas just doesn't do it for me.

Pretty much this.
Get acquianted with how everything works, work out how i'm going to take it in the actual game, and just fiddle around with everything whilst I still have the chance.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Maybe I'm just weird but the lack of "/" in Slarg232's class choices is making me go crazy.
I'm most interested in seeing all kinds of random events in the beta. I mean while WvWvW, PvP, etc. have their innovations if you ever played an MMO you probably have a good idea of what those would be like, but the dynamic branching public events? That sounds pretty exciting.
It's like having open-world RPG style exploration. I can't wait to just wander around and stumble upon random encounters, just with other people added in the mix. I don't plan on sticking to the roads
