Just to confirm what a few people have said.
Beta starts 23rd 12PM PDT, A link in the email you get sent confirms this.
There is a NDA in place that needed to be signed before you could download the client.
I am one happy gamer!
Wonder if any of the press members will be doing livestreams the moment the beta goes live this weekend. Someone go check!
No, it's under NDA until Monday.
From reading on Reddit, the servers were online earlier then expected. Now they are saying the servers are apparently offline.

Please remember.

Reminder to all closed beta players:you're under NDA.Don't risk breaking the NDA, you could permanently lose access to all ArenaNet games.
This is a much better warning.

What if I'm watching my friend play and explain everything he's doing?
^ Then your friend is breaking it for letting you sit next to him
not what I asked =] of course he's breaking it, it's streaming right now
Well clearly so, just remember that that pretend NDA you signed says that your not allowed to let everyone know that all 5 races where actually a running joke and the only race that is going to be live is leprechauns and that the chicken eggs are the most over powered environmental weapon in the game against end dungeon bosses to where if you manage to carry the egg from beginning to end of the dungeon you can one shot the boss with it because all the end dungeon explorable mode bosses are highly allergic to chicken eggs. As long as you don't let people know of these things then your fine with the pretend NDA you signed.
