Yes, you have to start a new character as is the most cases when a beta game does some major changes. Just a fact of playing a beta. Get used to it..lol.
If you have the game before, turn it on and it should start downloading the updates to phase 2.
The lag is for the better part, a thing of the past. They've made some major tweaks to the game to help smooth most aspects of it out. I've included a link to the release notes above, if you wish to see for yourself all the changes.
