POLL RESULTS!!!! YAY

PS, nothing at e3 /rage

I think it’s just about right. 52.4%

Kewl we can shut up about this now XD

The devs, Visual Works, Sound, PR—everyone did their part and the trailer itself was completed and ready for release at E3. But during our most recent global PR planning meeting, we came to the conclusion that the most effective way to introduce version 2.0 to the world would be with a flood of new material rather than just a trickle.

Agree with darth vader

Well, the public release of version 2.0 is set to kickoff with this year’s E3 in Los Angeles. We also plan to unveil a brand new promotion site for version 2.0 soon after E3 ends.

This wording seemed odd to me and I think it is the result of a mistranslation. Wouldn't it be the public unveiling of 2.0? For a second I thought they were actually releasing 2.0. XD

So nothing at E3 then, I'm pretty sure there was a lot more questions than that in the poll, where are the rest of the results?

I should probably show some mercy to the very busy translators and bring this letter to a close! My next letter is already written up, and will be released sometime early next week.

He's showing Translators Mercy :P, Early Next week= Next letter

I thought he meant no trailer but they are gonna show other things....?

In order to make version 2.0 a success, we need to appeal to not only our current players (naturally!), but also as many new players as possible, including PS3 owners. I really am sorry for the changes to the roadmap, but I really hope you understand that they were made with appealing to as many of you as possible in mind. We want to place the highest priority on keeping the 2.0 development schedule on track and on time, and prepare a large-scale promotional campaign filled with mind-blowing stuff!

What about the rest of the Player's Poll questions?

e: "Tune in next time for more on the third Players’ Poll results." Well, see you next month.

[Chardrizard]

Well that was dissapointing.. i hope promotional site that suppose to appear shortly after e3 ends doesnt mean 2 months later..
