    I think the game will be available sometime during 12/12-12/14 but be playable longer than that. With projects of this magnitude, release dates can slip a day or two. This way they are covered if they find a bug on 12/12 that takes a day to fix and retest.

    I stand corrected. @Dame Lori said the devs said in the chat room that 12/12 - 12/14 will be the only days the testing will be available. Thanks @Dame Lori. :)

    ...

    I also think there was another in one of the videos talking about the tests, then "bringing the servers down" to work on and prepare for the next test release.

    I'm going with "Game is only running inside of the "release windows" posted.

    Those are planned testing dates, not estimated start dates. They said the testing is taking place on those dates and it will go offline after. Most recently stated by FireLotus (maybe in chat?) but it was said earlier on also. That is why people want to be able to download it before the testing window.

    It would be nice if we could download the client/game at least one or two days in advance of the testing window so that we can get it installed on our machines. I know that there are probably still many people out there with slower connections.

    I suspect they will start allowing the download on Monday or Tuesday next week when they are in the office to deal with any issues. That's only my guess though.

    Previous Stand-Up's have spoke of having a working patcher system now, so advancing out the client a number of days early won't be an issue since they should be able to simply patch out any last minute fixes. :)

    I agree, we should at least see details in today's Update of the Avatar, if not the ability to start the download so we are all ready for the 12th. :)

    Yes, I caught that afterwards going through the thread. We will have to wait for another post from him for the download date.

    Yes, it is considered the Alpha and anyone who has pledged at the $45 level (Or less for Founders, but there is still a limit) and their pledge states Alpha access can access R1

    Definitely looking forward to Alpha, hopefully we'll get a few of the patrons on TS and have a natter while playing even if it is single player.

    Fingers crossed, last two games I alpha tested were the War Z and GW2, so hopefully 3rd time lucky :p
