How do we preload GW2 before launch?

I think I might know the answer, but I figured I'd double check before headstart.  I didn't want to get to that day and not be 100% ready.

Here's what I assume we do:

1. Download the beta client (which a lot of us have already).
2. Update/patch it the week/days before headstart/launch.
3. Voila, it's ready!

Am I right in assuming the beta client and the final client are the same and that we just have to update it before launch? 

Other betas that I have been involved in the beta was completely wiped and you had to download a different client. I don't know if that's the case with GW2. Edit: I have been reading other forums and some people are saying yes the beta will be used for launch and sone are saying no. I really hope its the first one. ***crosses fingers***

Its a bit too early to say at the moment. The folks at arenanet have not made any mention if they will keep the beta client or not.

@xxashkorexx You will use the same client for BWE3 and at launch. ~RB2 #GW2 #GW2iscoming Source
