Beta Starts on Feb 1st, or 1st week in Feb??

[AttacKat]

What is your guess??

Biggest hint to date ...

Alpha Tester Forum Maintenance (Feb. 1)

From Feb. 1, 2013 9:00 (GMT) until the start of the Beta Test
* The completion time may be subject to change.

Now, we all know it doesn't take too much time to backup a forum, and move all the old posts to a read-only section.

Y-P also have indicated that he has been working on the final preps for beta, new ARR site, etc ...

It starts mid-late February as said.

Those are the Alpha forums going down.

I hope this doesn't turn out as bad as threads speculating the official release date....

Would be nice to think that, but no invites sent out yet, no benchmark yet, no client to download. I don't have my hopes that high that we will be in beta next week or soon after based on Forum maintenance.

it might be better to expect it for mid feb or such so you dont get dissapointed every day it doesnt start.
but one can always hope for early start ^^
and the wording of the maintenance thing doesn't really suggest they are taking down the alpha forum, just temporarily. but meh whatever. we'll see in a week or 2, what's going on.

when did they start sending out inv for alpha, and when did alpha start?

I think it was the friday before the tuesday or so that it started. Would love it to be early but nothing ever happens the 1st of the month in the gaming industry. Even Tera going f2p in Feb I bet doesnt mean the 1st.

[Seirra_Lanzce]

true, if its out early, that is good, but can expect to get information 1 week before beta starts

[Radacci]

Well it's more probable that it's 1st week rather than 1st feb anyways. I dont think beta will start first day, just cause it's an maintenance of the forum then.
