Maybe they don't have an exact or even approximate date yet.

We are living in the age of "entitlement", both in game and real life. I'm here, therefore I am entitled to everything you can lay out for me that I can get for little or no effort. You owe me, gimme. If you don't, I'll throw a temper tantrum..........or worse, I'll post in the Forum. :) Surprises and new discoveries are nice yes, unfortunately they have cumulatively lead people into the "Borg" mentality.

SE is the Borg, players are the collective, and only a few dare to have an independant thought or perform an independant action that has not been born in Port Jeuno.

According to the /servmes, the date is August 9th... :confused:

@ Absinthe

That's just the date the Level Cap Increase was announced. That isn't the date of the patch. It will most likely be the first or second week of September. Remember that the earthquake back in March in Japan and the subsequent downtime also pushed back all of their plans by about a month.

More like SE added an extra two week testing cycle to test out Cure spells. Wouldn't want White Mages to get the wrong idea about having the ability to nuke anything, especially undead. :p

Did the roadmap come out before or after the earthquake? I could have sworn it came out after.

August Major Version Update

The level cap will be raised to 95 and accompanied by a broad range of changes; new content and job abilities will be added, and existing ones adjusted. This penultimate stage in the level cap increase will usher in large-scale changes while preserving balance in anticipation of the impending final rise to level 99.

The test server will be launched as the testing and fine-tuning grounds for new content being planned, and can be considered a realm wherein adventurers can experience new features under development. More details regarding the server will be made available in the near future.

August 16th, and the only information we have on the next update is Lv.95, WoE additions, and GoV additions.

Yeah, don't think its going to happen this month....
