I got into beta, can't remember what phase (other than the fact I got the email on April 1st of all dates). The very first thing I did after selecting control layout is redo the UI and all of the keybindings (EWRD instead of WSAD). Aside from that, I explored the emotes of male Miqo'te and quickly fell in love with them.

Although I quit shortly after release for whatever reason and didn't come back until January of this year.
