When does the Alpha Test end?

[IronSoup]

I've been looking over a few pages of forum threads and I haven't seen anyone talking about the end of the Alpha test. I know the Beta test won't start until the end of january (seen this in an article or a thread) but I doubt that the Alpha will end when the Beta starts.

Question is simple: When will the Alpha test end?

Yes, alpha does end when beta starts ... That's all I know....

Isn't beta supposed to start late January/early February? If alpha is ending this month, that means there will be at least a month break between the two.

I think it's near the end of December. Not sure of the exact date though.

Yes, around the end of december .

As far as i know, no date has been given for the end of one, and beginning of the other. I would give a week's buffer before and after Christmas as a no man's zone, but really your guess is as good as mine.

From the latest Producer's Letter :P

A world merge test is scheduled for the soon-to-commence Phase 4, after which the Alpha Test will come to a close around mid-December. But if the demand is there, we’ll consider leaving the alpha worlds online until the end of the year. (Though we can’t really call it an alpha test anymore.)

Yah, basically Yoshi is going to leave the alpha worlds online, for the rest of December, just so we to play on it(thats nice of him). But alpha testing would be already over.

I believe Beta might begin sometime in the first 2 weeks of Jan. As alpha testing went smoothly. Wouldn't make sense for them to have a big gap of nothing happening.

We be nice if all us 1.0 players could start playing again with are saved data by end of feb. beginning of march.

I know Yoshi said that the last phase of Beta we would have access to are save file and could start playing the game again.
