When does the Alpha Test end?

Extension of 3 and introduction of 4 have the soul purpose of "stop people from crying." As KiriA500 said they have what they needed from the alpha...

Read the letter
Phase 3: 24/7 testing
Phase 4: server merge testing
After phase 4: alpha going down or still on

The Alpha Test went global in phase 3, with the servers being online 24 hours a day for the purpose of age testing. Ahead of this phase, alpha tester acceptance mails were sent to regions outside of Japan.

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.)

They squashed a lot of bugs in Phase 1 and 2. Phase 3 and 4 is all about 24/7 Server testing to see how many people they can get in one server, without crashing within around the clock timeframe.

Yeah, this info is in the letter from the dev. But this is a general "every two days" so.. don't get mad if its not every three, or every day. :P
