Yes there will be an open public beta. Now, how long that will last before "officially" releasing it, I'm not sure. But I want to use that time to add new features, polish up existing features, and just generally make sure everything works correctly once lots of people start interacting with the system. Because when I go public beta the game will only be completed to the extent that it is playable. Not necessarily enjoyable. Once public beta is finished it will be much more of a game.
The thing I hated most about CA was lack of ongoing development. So yes, I plan on supporting the game into the future and implementing new features beyond release. But, I also don't want to release a feature-less game that's no fun.
