The game has been undergoing beta for a while, so we can only imagine how thrilled players must feel to know that the game is this close to completion. Players who have been playing the beta from the 25th of November onwards will only need to patch the client.
It should be noted that players will be let into the game groups at a time starting from the 13th of December until its actual launch on the 20th of December. So if you managed to get in your pre-order early, looks like next Tuesday could be when you start playing the game for real.
