If this was a beta of 2.0, we would be playing 2.0 content and be giving feedback on it.
What we are playing is the Prologue to 2.0. How is that different, you ask? Well a Prologue is a story or short telling of events before the main story. In other words, we are playing the events that lead up to the beginning of the new story they have set up for 2.0. This content we are engaged in right now will be unplayable in 2.0. We are participating in events that will no longer be available to everyone else who joins up at 2.0.
That is worth paying for to me. A story that leads up to the events of the newer world that nobody else past 2.0 will be able to say they were involved in.
