If somehow the game does release in july, although it's a long wait it wont really matter to us much. I suspect most here will spend years in this game so those extra months waiting at the beginning will be a distant memory. For the ones that ignored 1.0 and have gotten a new interest in the game might lose it if the game takes too long though, but I think April, maybe May will be the release.

Since people who's playing the alpha are saying it could be beta I'm not too worried that the beta will be full of bugs and glitches once they roll it out.
