When does the Alpha Test end?

[Rex]

This week is supposively the fourth and final week of the Alpha test. Yoshi-P said they're considering keeping the Alpha servers open thru the end of December so he can get more of us on there...Saying, "We can't really call it an Alpha test at that point..." (Probably because, like I said, this is supposed to be the final week of the testing.)

EDIT: Sorry, didn't see Gokulo's post before I posted.
