Standalone maybe 2013 !?

In Q&A, rocket said :

• Q: Can you think of any, at least approximate, ETA on the final product? The stable game without current bugs, lagging and armies of cheaters?

• A: Well, let me put it this way - I'm going back to New Zealand for Christmas, I have my exit medical for the NZ Army in mid December, and I need to squeeze in a training climbing trip in NZ before I leave in January, and then I'm off to Everest end of March. So things have to be done by then.

Now, they will slip foundation release (December) if needed... so thats one point for 2013 release, i dont think theyre able to release game before mid-December, they need to announce etc... your thoughts ?
