And please, please, please, please know that the servers can and will go down alot. Every 5 minutes is not an exaggeration sometimes.
It's annoying when you see player after player complain about that on the official forums. "What the hell is this shit? I can't play for more than a few minutes? Why are the servers going down? I want to play! How can they expect this to work when the game goes live, if they can't even get the beta to work right?"
"No, you moron, the servers are going down BECAUSE they are working on it. It's a beta, that's the point."
Too many people go into a beta thinking "early access demo", and this chain of thinking isn't helped by companies like EA that do "beta tests" which involve a two-week period prior to a game's release which is only to help build hype, and has almost zero actual beta testing (and when that game comes out, and bugs exist which were widely reported in beta. it just confirms it.)
Remember the list above, and you will be pretty set.
