Okaaayyy
Looks like my previous message didn't came across way I intended, so I want to clarify our position on when we're planning to start Closed and Open Betas:
Yes looks like our website is talked about closed beta to be available by end of summer. In our announcements, press releases and interviews we've been saying that we'll let public into closed alpha or beta of the game around end of summer OR EARLY FALL. Unfortunately it's our bad that the "early fall" part did not appeared on website.
Our goal is not just release something, but release version of the game that is stable and polished enough so you'll be having FUN playing it and you'll be spending your energy inventing new ways to interact with the world and other players, not getting stuck because of the game problems, lack of features or bugs.
We're all feel extreme pressure right now, working 24/7 to reach finish line for our Closed Alpha stage ( especially given size and how involved our community is) , so please accept my appologies if I've being too rude or not answering all of your questions right away.
Yours,
