I wonder how it'll work to change your accounts Beta-Key to the retail CD-Key without losing your account...or maybe once you login you'll get a message like "Your pre-ordered Beta-CD-Key ain't avaible anymore, please insert your retail CD-Key to keep using this account"

Let's say I play on the 27th and 28th, but can't pick up the game CD till the 2nd...if I don't play from the 29th to the 2nd when I install my game key, will my characters still be there or will they be completely wiped?

your characters should be saved for any reasonable number of weeks or months

imagine the howls of anger if the post office lost it and they wiped it and the yells of you promised to save the name

it costs them nothing to keep the name on file

Day before release: 27 April, 2005:

You will be able to play the *actual game* using your Beta pass key. Friends passes will not work to my knowledge. You will use the same client we have been using throughout the beta.

Day of release: 28 April, 2005:

You will still be able to play the game using your beta pass key until 11:59PM PST at which point you either enter the game key that you can have mailed to you or pick up from the store on the 28th, or you just stop playing.

Day after release: 29 April, 2005:

some 50,000 hardcore GW gamers will die of starvation. another 10,000 will die of side effects from being kicked off the network because they are waiting for their packages to be mailed to them.

Not true! You can go for weeks without food! Heck, I've personally done 10 days. The second day is the worst, but that'll be the 28th, and you'll be far too busy playing to notice any hunger pangs. Just make sure you get plenty of liquids, and you can avoid having to take too much time away from the game to waste time eating or, uh, the inevitable related activity.
