Plus, given the disaster that was Anarchy Online Release, I suspect Funcom is going to be a lot more careful this time, so release dates will not be forthcoming (if they are smart).
Nothing destroys a game easier than a marketing time-table.

Probably holiday season '06. The game seems to be in pretty good shape for an alpha - the beta will probably start January-Febuary time. Closed beta, that is.
Just my guesses.
----------------------------- Listen Asmodeeus, seven years ago, Ultima Online didn't even have those pathetic "quests" that you refer to or those "professions" of ninja, samurai, necromancer, and paladin. Nor did it have any of the neon crap, or bug mounts. It didn't even have any "combat moves." You turned on attack and jousted with simplistic swings. It was a better game then. if you can't guess why then just uninstall the thing and move along. - Crabby

People who have to create conspiracy and hate threads to further a cause lacks in intellectual comprehension of diversity.
