1) start a new char now to get some game experience, then start another new one when the open beta starts to be on the same servers (Beta 1 and PvP) as the closed beta testers, or
2) start a new char now, and screw them commie beta testers anyway. Make em start all the way over on YOUR server, dammit. :)
Options!

I vote option 2.
Why? It makes the most sense. If I have to start a level 1 just to be on the same server with the level 50+, what good does it do me (or anyone from the Closed Beta) to be 50+ levels apart from them? I won't get to party with them, so they'll have to start new characters just to party with us Stress Testers anyway. Might as well enjoy my gaming to the fullest.
Besides, look at it from a testing point of view - playing for a week, I might hit level 20. If I continue in the Open Beta with the same character, I could conceivably hit 50, thus unlocking high-level content. Starting anew just forces me into testing the same early-game stuff I already tested, and thus doesn't allow me to fully and adequately beta test the game. So, it makes the best amount of sense for me to start my character in the Stress Test, and continue on into the Open Beta.
It's all a moot point, anyway, since the game's gonna be out in 17 days. Or so Blizzard would like to think. :P
