Just wondering what the current target date for early enrollment play to start? I can only imagine how much is still left to do and don't expect a binding exact date, more of a wild off the top of your head ballpark. I appreciate the effort to get it right over hitting an release date.
A rough date would help keep my work/life/gaming balance in harmony. That way I can RSVP no to weddings, cancel vacations, schedule elective surgeries to get off work, put of that second kid, etc so as not to interfere with the early enrollment launch.
My Kickstarter 3D printer is now 8 months behind schedule, but should ship this week vastly improved over the original build- 3D Emerald Spire coming soon...
The Store said "Approx. August" when I purchased my EE a couple of days ago.

According to the latest blog, we don't know yet. Alpha testing starts on June 16th (less than two weeks away!) and Early Enrollment will start "when its ready". They will likely need at least 5-6 two week cycles of Alpha Testing before the game can go to EE, so my guess is around 3 months away, but perhaps as soon as two.
Entirely depends on how Alpha testing goes and how quickly they can sort out some of their nastier bugs. Some bugs take minutes to find, others take days or weeks. And then once you find it, fixing the bug will often break something else. Its a marvelously frustrating process.

They did a blog about the Alpha testing and how they are going to open that up including possibly opening that up to some EE closer to the end of alpha. You can read about it here. But as of now they do not have a date for EE.

I'll maintain my guess that if they can do it, they're going to want a bunch of EE people going before Gencon (or failing that PAX), in order to create as much buzz as possible. If they can get a few tables of EE players going either on the floor, or in a couple of hotel suites, it will be a decent PR tool to draw more people in.
