TCoS: Beta Looms Closer

I've been in a bit of a COD kick so I haven't been paying attention to my usual forums but...check this post out from Freeze from the TCOS boards out:

Things are going extremely well here at the Spellborn office. The game is looking, sounding, feeling and playing better every day. Over the last few weeks we matched the development schedule with the release schedules of our publishers and we are happy to announce that we have defined dates for open beta and for release. Open beta can be expected to start early April 2007 and release in Europe is planned for May 2007 with other continents following in Q2 and Q3. The third closed beta phase is planned to start early February 2007 and we are looking forward to the feedback from all our closed beta members.

These last few months the entire team will focus on finishing the game and preparing all services needed for launch such as customer support and billing. To ensure that we have a clear and direct channel of communication we decided to close down our open irc channels and focus all our communication efforts on our official forums.

The next few months are going to be very exciting and we want to thank you all for taking this journey with us. We hope to welcome you in our closed or open beta soon!

At this point, I'm so starved for an MMO that I'm willing to pay for a sub to a European server...if the game's good that is. :) My FilePlanet subscription is good to go too. Hope I can reserve a beta spot!
