I agree, I have been waiting for the release as a patreon for years now. I just want them to reach a finished product and release it. So far it looks good, but don't want to make progress that will just get wiped out. I'm sure they will wipe before the game is launched.
I would give you a guest pass to SWOTR, but then I wouldn't be able to find a way to live with myself afterwards....

Same here. I pop in every 6 months or so just to check it out. I just did so this week. Looks like they are getting closer. I think they really need to figure out what they are doing with the Eternal Kingdoms and their VIP sub, then iron out the bugs and go for it.

No beta date, no release date just more baiting to make people believe the game will actually be released.
If you go to their forums people are still buying the game demo for $50.
When people ask about why the game is still basically a demo people reply "it's in alpha". The devs themselves said there was supposed to be beta this summer(june/july) but now a seasoned "tester" said this a day or so ago...
"Soft launch maybe end of this year or early 2021!" < notice the "maybe"
another tester replied with this
"We are currently testing the game in pre-alpha stage"

I stopped caring about this game years ago. I don't even look forward to it anymore, they are taking so long that it turned from excitement to bother when I see it in articles.
Same goes with Pantheon and Ashes of Creation to some extent.
There is always the risk of releasing too early and disappointing people with a half-assed product or taking too long and losing people, because they can't be bothered to care about your game anymore.

When we heard a few years ago that a handful of MMORPGs were in development I kept bring up my concern that some might launch at the same time and how that would negatively impact them. Oh what naïve happy days those were.
I think this puppy is launching this year. Id be shocked if they do not go open beta in the Fall
By launching you mean "soft launch" yes?
Or have they sort of dropped that idea?
Last I heard, all the investor money meant they would do a regular launch but as far as I go: Launched is when they stop wiping and start charging their sub. That is how I will judge the game.
Design-wise I think pretty much everything is in. They have faction based rule sets and they just launched their FFA (guild vs guild) rule set. I think they need to revamp their Eternal Kingdoms (glorified housing area) and do a few balance passes on classes and crafting. They just launched the first part of their New Player Experience which is a simple quest line to teach game basics.
Currently all account owners have access to play. Coleman has said that the version currently on Live is pretty much the beta and they have also said that Beta is when they will start adding non-backers. Once that happens, barring some sort of catastrophe, launch is next.
