Release may be sooner than expected?

Since Elysium forums are down I will have to post here.
Servers are going down in 1h in Elysium and we got this message "Server will be shutting down in one hour. It will remain off until the new servers are ready. We will begin internal testing on the Nostalrius core"

Also this following tweet:
The Elysium realm will be offline while we focus on internal testing of the Nostalrius core. #legacy

Does this mean that Elysium might possibly be offline for a few weeks? Or maybe this hopefully signifies that the official release will be much sooner than we expected!

Do not get your hopes up regarding early launch. I understand that people are eager to get on and continue their journey, or start a new one, but patience is a virtue.

Well the AMA is this weekend, so I expect them to be offline until then.
Maybe they will announce the stress test for the following week? That would be very cool.
Either way, I think it is at least 3 weeks before we play on a finished server.

I'm impatient, but I'd rather this be done right. I am very skeptical about their capabilities to handle the likely 20+ thousand people that will be trying to play, even after a stress test.
Real games run stress tests all the time and they never really accurately represent problems that can arise on top of the server load.

Would be sick if it is indeed sooner than expected either way.
Holidays are coming up and there should be a good amount of time to enjoy!

How will the reclaiming our characters from Nost work on Elysium?

"To please our gamers need for convenience we changed our class system, previously you needed various classes to achieve in-game goals, it proved to be inconsistent and punishing for players who wanted to experience casting magic one day and then another day being brutal melee combatant, system liked that was flawed with choice and was dangerously sparkling that creativity that we all hate right? He he I know, I know, we keep improving guys, all for you! <applause>. We created a new system... our best creation, after 20 years of development!! Ladies and Gentleman, we present to you now... one class... THE FANBOI!"

"To become the FANBOI you will need to complete a series of quests, one series will be called <An Active Vision> containing quests that reward you with Scrolls of Ultimate Wisdom, each containing an ultimate truth... to give you a hint one will say... For I Am a Blizzard And I Know Better. Another series of quests is designed to help you forget a burden of previous life.. after completing those you will receive The Badge of Core Values Eradication. Combining both... Scrolls and The Badge will turn you into FANBOI"
