I have seen some wild stabs at the eta for launch ranging from 2014 to the end of 2015, anybody have any idea?

    Early alpha is early alpha, not beta, alpha.  We're talking it's September already, this year release, fat chance.  Next year?  Could happen.  Early next year?  Unlikely.

    Ok, so some way off then. No founder pack for me then. I dislike the purchase and play now, oh and launch is in 18 months time gag!

    The schedule is as follows:

    15th September: Alpha Test Phase lasting multiple weeks

    December: Another Alpha Test Phase lasting multiple weeks

    Early Q1 2015: Closed Beta Phase. Main goal here is to make sure game balance etc is such that there is a persistent game world that does not require any resets any more. 

    Launch Date: The goal is late Q1 2015. This however will be influenced by the feedback and findings from the upcoming tests. If we do not think the game is ready yet, we would rather spend a bit more time than to release a game that does not meet the highest standards.

    Early alpha to launch in under 9 months? Would be highly unlikely, since I can't recall a single MMORPG that's ever met that timeline. (Heck, some games have betas that long)

    3rd Qtr 2015 is my guess, let's see how it turns out.

    Summer 2015 would be my best guess.
