I dont think it will come this week either unless its today. Otherwise they have to release on Friday and everybody at ISI has to be online the entire weekend for support
My guess would be somewhere early in the week so they have all people on board and available.
Nevertheless I keep on pressing F5 just to be sure in case they release it early
I'm not saying that it needs a release date - I'm saying they shouldn't be surprised that people are expecting it now now now if they said it would be here now, eh?
why say it at all, if it's not true? makes no sense.
"We project that we will be in Release Candidate stage around the Christmas Holiday. We think it may be too hectic for our testers and staff to try to push out a product at this time, so we are now likely to release the open beta early 2012"
If you follow this account on Twitter and give it permission to send SMS messages to your phone, I'll update it ASAP after official content releases (this beta, future updates, the final release of the game, post-launch updates, etc).
And I'll only post meaningful updates so each Tweet means that you can download something new from ISI.
