https://www.facebook.com/#!/EverQue...151128943313127 Thats what they posted on Facebook, yet there is no option to DL Beta server on Client, nor has there been any other word on this...
You could copy your existing EQ2 files to a new folder in your EQ2 folder & call it BetaServer (that's what it downloaded in when they were testing the new beta copy tool). Then when beta is back on the version selection it should take less time for you to download it.
They won't have it open until the beta actually starts hehe =). There hasn't been the normal closed beta so far for this expansion with the NDA and all yet. And the client is the normal launchpad. You'll get to beta server the same way you would get to test server or the other language servers.
I found the answer I was looking for... So here it is: Open Beta; Monday, OCT 22 @ Noon PST (approx. according to twitter). Thought I would share =O
