One Year from Now?

I was on FB and clicked through to watch the AoC UE5 video (which was great) on YouTube using this link:

Notice the phrase in the text which says "...with Intrepid Studios planning an Alpha 2 test stage at some point in 2022."
This was a WCCFtech statement, not an Intrepid statement. They may have assumed, they may have mis-understood, or they may have inadvertently released a potentially accurate statement.
We know that Alpha 2 will be persistent and that it will be followed rather quickly by short Beta-1 and Beta-2 phases. So, if Alpha 2 is this coming fall of 2022, we may be looking at a Christmas release a year from now.
I know that the common opinion is that we are years from release and that certainly may be the case.
But....

Where did you get that info? I am pretty sure Alpha 2 is going to be the long one. Maybe lasting a year or longer, with some possible breaks.
I think your estimation of how long alpha 2 will take is way off. I say this with no real knowledge or experience however I'd guess that whenever alpha 2 comes the game is probably still a year off from full release
I don't believe I've seen anything that suggested Alpha 2 "will be followed rather quickly" by Beta 1.
This is the impression I get too.
B1->B2->release may be faster,
but A2->B1 I still think there will be tonnnnnnnes of polish happening
No way in hell does alpha 2 start and end in 2022, let alone the entire game releasing in 2022.
