Guess its a good thing I took a few minutes to check the QC Forums.
I've been in the AA beta since June (wave 4 invitee) and through my online radio station w00t Radio I've done some interviews with the Dev Staff.
Gotta say I am LOVING the game. The Dev Staff has a great attitude on common problems in MMO's and are taking some interesting directions with the game.
Its extremely solo oriented right now and they're working on teaming incentives.
There is no set release date beyong "Spring 06" don't believe the retail sites that are giving a date of April, that's a totally random guess. My guess would be May or June.
If I can answer any questions about AA just let me know!
Also if you head to
www.w00tradio.net the interviews we did with the AA staff are available for download in the "Jester's Court" section.
