Hard to say...it all depends on how close they hit the mark for our profession...how close they hit the mark for everyone else...nothing is broken (nothing that we can't sweep under the rug to speed up things that is)...
Personally, I would love to see Sandbox testing start by the end of November...The Devs have told us that they plan launching the Sandbox even before all programming is in place (it'll be a work in progress for us to test certain aspects as we go)...They also told us that they've been working hard on the Combat Upgrade since Publish 9 (the Combat Balance programming started back way before that), so once they have the hardware set up, it hopefully shouldn't take that long...
Then it all depends on how long the Sandbox testing phases take...once that's done it'll go to TC, then Live...
