Sorry if this has been asked before but I did search and couldnt find specific details. My motherboard has just died and im looking into getting one of the new Imacs. I have already made 4 characters on my PC. Will these transfer over once I install the Beta client onto my Mac or will I need to start over?
Many thanks in advance.

Your characters, items, and pretty much anything connected to your account are stored on the server. You can use either client, switch back and forth between then, and even play from different computers (not simultaneously though), without losing anything.

Once you have it on one machine you can move to any machine that you require it on.
Inside the GW2 APP look for a folder called GW2 that’s the one you need to move across.
On the Mac download the Mac client then……..
On the Mac – Right click the GW2 APP you will see a folder called Contents > Resources > Transgaming > c_drive
Drop the GW2folder from your PC into the c_drive folder and you should be good to go.
The above just saves you downloading it all again, all your account details including characters is held by the Arenanet servers so you will be OK

Performance on higher-end Macs is … good enough, I guess.
I plan to actually go to an Apple store once the new iMacs are here and test the game right there
