I'm sorry but this my own speculation. Since they have yet to post a release date. I am sensing since E3 is right around the corner. They are simply going to wait until right before or during E3 to drop this issue into the game. Why? Better promotional tactics and that's how NCSoft does it? I don't know but it seems most logical, only because such scarce information has been mentioned about this issue. If the closed/open beta was announced at some point, I'd think otherwise, but I am only left thinking that this is going to be pushed till later.
Unfortunately for me - Patience is not my virtue.
