They've done pretty well so far on dealing with demand. My only issues came with BW1 on the first day, since then its been laggy at times but playable.

Cannot wait to get stuck in to this game. How expensive are guilds going to be to set up and kit out?
Given the large number of new pre-orders and the fact that loads of beta codes have now been given out, I think it'll be a new challenge for them!
It will also be interesting to see how the new server infrastructure - fewer servers/home worlds with larger capacity - will cope with the influx of new people.

Would anyone be kindly to send me a key to the beta please? The curse give away has ended 
Correct.
I believe that you can have several pets on your character and rotate between them. So when you're in water you'll have the water based pets and when on land you'll have to swap to a land based pet. Of which you can have several and rotate between them.

I've just read all the blurb and what they are hoping to achieve simply can't be done with today's technology.
How can they have worlds where your actions change the focus of the world and each player's interaction can have consquences for the world.
This can't be done imagine the code involved and the amount of data required to be spooned out to players, it will lag like hell.
I bought the game but after watching the ads for the game I feel like I'll be disappointed.

Does your character get wiped out for this beta tonight?

i bet that when the game launches officially it will be smooth sailing. it has to be otherwise these beta's were all meaningless
Before the beta and after the beta I heard.
I've had same character for last few Beta's. Unless this is any different, then I believe you will get to keep your chars from the last few, but they will get erased for full release?

Not sure if you're trolling or not. All MMO's have betas and all of them are laggy on release, it's something you have to expect when you have so many people in such a small area as they are on launch.

All characters are being wiped before beta starts and after beta ends.
The only thing you will keep from this and previous beta weekends is your friends list and any gems you buy on the gem store this weekend.

everything is being wiped for this beta and after this beta for launch, the only thing that will carry over to the release is the gems you buy in the item store.
The amount of beta tests isn't really all that relevant to server stability. SWTOR had a few and the launch was a disaster.
Same for most WoW expansions, Diablo III (was in beta for ages), etc.
Not at all, as Robbo said, a game having numerous beta's doesn't mean it's going to be a good release, that's not to say that i don't hope that GW2 doesn't have a good release, because i do want it to have a successful release.
