Guild Wars 2, Beta Even on at same time as v24 Options

[www.com.au]

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it previously, but a beta of over 1 million players is going to be hold, coincidentally, on the same weekend as the respawn lan (v24).

Will respawn be allowing players with preloaded clients to play? If so will there be any form of events for such players?

Anyone looking for someone at the lan to join during beta should post here or on www.ixlegion.net, where i'll have a vent server and multiple other people playing through beta for a laugh.
