Here's some interesting recent posts from Rocket on Reddit.

We spent last week progressing further on our alpha milestone tasks. Also clearing out some nasty crashes, as I am sure those testing can confirm. At the start of the week you would crash within minutes if trying to move... We still have a nasty crash there for some and that's monday's job.
But progress is going great, our aim is to have the initial alpha as a solid base. The project is now becoming much more "formal" and I'm confident with how this week progressed.
I think it's very important we keep on this process. This is the first time we've properly committed to a date so I'm hopeful we can deliver on that.

Private servers that connect to the central hive will be expressely allowed on release, using a blacklist system. That means servers will be automatically approved and only blacklisted if somethng goes wrong. This is mainly to be allowed for our alpha, in beta and release we will reiew the situation and possibly allow private hives themselves.

Changing weapon while moving was one of that which we captured today (and a major priority)

It's not going to be next week (jet lag, etc...). But it's not going to be longer than two months. It will be somewhere in between.
Why not set a date? Because we don't need too, and we don't want to force something out with a glaring game breaking bug just because we set a date, when we didn't need to in the first place.
Furthermore, we have scrapped the keys-in-blocks idea and going for a full access alpha. This means we need to be damn sure our central server will hold whatever load might be thrown at it.
Also remember, I was on tv. I'm always the most conservative on tv be because you get cut up into sound bites and lose the context. When talking to fans etc... I can provide context and be more realistic.

This and also we need to consider the question of DX11 and other big graphics stuff at the same time.

Server/Client is done. As an example, over last few days been adding in battery consumption, calculating environment temperatures, interacting with terrain and objects, all sorts of stuff. Much of which breaks the build, causes crashes, performance issues, etc...

We actually just introduced "burnable" as a property two weeks ago, but no effects yet

- Linux server build is very likely.
- Server footprint is only 1.2gb.
- Bandwidth is TBA, but we're doing formal systems testing soon to get some metrics

What tinezone?

17:00 in what timezone?

I checked the site, no mention, so I went with the logical guess of Birmingham, UK (BST presently).

That makes it at 12PM for me in Montreal (EDT presently). Just thought I should put that information out there. Someone correct me if I'm wrong though!
