What I'm going for with this thread is to try and find every bit of information given out about what features will be added in version 2.0. The purpose of this thread is so that every time the devs give vague answers like "we're planning this for 2.0 or please look forward to this in 2.0" we can hold them accountable. This will also serve (obviously) as a compilation of all the information related to 2.0. This way people can check here before posting a thread about something that has already been mentioned before.
Yoshida's comment regarding Rep posts which contain 2.0 information:

A Realm Reborn (V2.0) Released Information
