I don't personally believe Sansar will be open to the public by the end of 2016.

Not sure about the date, so I reckon - all of FaceBorg except those who have names starting with S. Does that count?

Well this isn't the first silly poll on NWN.

I suspect even if I randomly had the right number, my context would be way off.
I'm not going to make any predictions until some beta reports start coming back and we see what its likely to be like.
At this point... it could be just about anything, so I just don't have a feel for things.

Agree with Adeon. It takes a looooooooong time to create a world.

if LL can get a open Beta out by mid 2016 then 100,000 to 1m is pretty achievable by year end I think

I also agree with Adeon. What I have found is that to find the actual release date, take the estimated development time and triple it to determine the Beta Test release date.
