hmm...

Yoshida: What’s going to happen is that after the current version is finished and storyline over, the servers will go down and the 2.0 beta will start up. We want to make sure we don’t make the same mistake as before, and want to be sure we have enough time not only for the beta test but also to get feedback from the players and leave enough time to implement that feedback. Also, keep in mind that transferring the characters to the new servers and systems could take up to a month. So that process will be running while the beta test is in place. There can’t be a launch immediately after the current servers are shut down.

GE: How much downtime do you expect between the end of the beta test and the launch 2.0?
Yoshida: It won’t be anything like the next day, but we hope to have it be as short as possible. We need enough time to make sure everything is right and start it smoothly.

in december or jan?

late december or early january, anything more and it would be very dangerous, as they would start to lose MANY subscribers that loses trust in them ... again.

Well they've already said open beta begins in Jan 2013 so any date before then is just wishful thinking.

Yoshida also mentioned that the first closed beta for the Japan and International servers is scheduled fo go live at the close of September or early October, with closed beta 2 pinned for the Winter followed by an open beta in January 2013.

I'm going to say end of open beta in Feb. Release probably end of March. March 31st.
