Beta Apocolypse or Beta Paradise

HTC;

This my seem a litle "SLOW" on my part, but I have a question about the period of time immediately following the end of Beta.

Will the game go offline for a period of time for further refinement or will it be Beta one day and then be PfP (Pay for Play) the next?

I think Pyro said that you would have 2 weeks  after the day they go pay to decide whether or not you want to stay and pay.  I would imagine anyone just signing on would pay from day one, but as open master-beta testers, we get a two week "grace" period.

We won't be going offline.  It's basically like Ripsnort says.  First time accounts get a free two week trial period.  So when we make the switch to pay, you'll still get to continue playing for free for two weeks.  After your two week trial is up, you'll be prompted as to whether you want to start a pay account or not.

Pyro, for those of us with accounts already (beta accounts), will we have to open new accounts or will we be able to keep the ones we have now and just send you MONEY  

Don't want to lose my handle.
