There's a thread with ideas that will apparently be submitted to the dev team, its the first news I've heard giving a rough release date.
Looking around I see Smedley has announced on his blog that the beta starts "early next year" too.
John SmedleyQuote:In other news - early next year we will have announcements about Planetside Next followed by a beta. I can say this - it's coming along awesome. I can also say that the first beta testers are going to be current Planetside subscribers. I've gotten a lot of email from current players offering to help test the game and we're going to take them up on it.
