Yes this is how you access the beta server. It is currently not locked (Subject to change at any time) as the content is basically the same as the test server but there are no beta buffers or anything setup. This is in preparation for expansion beta.

I started a lil' coercer there.. named Kuuerce.

I also tried /beta add from live and seems to be enabled, just not sure I actually queued up though.

I just have to add that Kuuerce made me laugh out loud.

Goooo beta!

I guess /beta add isn't working - I did it on Friday and my toon still isn't showing up. I also created a new toon just to make sure the list would populate =(

It was made active today. /beta add works and the script runs once an hour.

So pardon my "noobness", I did the beta add command and saw the request in chat. Here is where I get lost, I have been told I must log to char select and wait, I have been told to just play and periodically log in to beta to check, I have been told to wait for in game message. Can someone who has done the /beta add and updated all the files AND gotten into beta on their toon please tell me my next steps?

Also, do i have to stay on the qued toon to be added?

Once you use the command /beta you do not need to stay logged in or at character select. I would just go ahead and play as normal and check the beta character select every 30min or so till you see them show up. I do know there are sometimes issues with seeing the newly copied characters if you just did the beta download. If it hasn't shown up in like 2 hours create a level one on the beta server then log back to character select and see if it shows up. If not try the /beta again.
