Luke Carruthers: We’re actually starting the first stage of external testing right now. A very restricted set of people are helping us with what we’re calling Technical Testing. It’s focused on the server infrastructure and network performance, and will lead into wider public testing in the future.

Along with the Technical Testing phase, we’re starting to release more information about skills and the different factions, and the official forums are going live.

The next stage will be a limited Alpha test, and it will begin the focus on gameplay testing and balance. We expect it to start in August.
