Letter from the Producer, XXXII (07/23/2012)

Poor Yoshi, looks like he did have to go back on his word about releasing information earlier lol.

In regards to the promotional site, I wonder how "soon" his understanding of soon is this time.

I think the decision was based off it'll be a spoiler to 1.23, so he held back till that patch was released.

Already be said it will be separated. I don't even think SE would manage it directly. It's more like others MMOs selling their franchise to a local company. The local company take care of everything (Support/GMs/Billing etc.) and just give some of the money back to SE.

(For example DAoC wasn't run by Mythic Entertainment in Europe, but by GOA (French company))

Memembership price won't be the same in China I would say also. $12.99 is way too much there...

Well, they have been calling the "current" one a teaser. I think it'll just be the full release of it.

ahhh i remember now you're correct. MMO companys or even video game companies in general lets a 3rd part take care of its assets there. I'm not sure because of laws there, but i remember when nintendo wanted to release stuff there they had to go through a 3rd party.

Oh, you'r righty.

Um...right. As you can see, in keeping with Japanese fashion, the yukata are kinda...short. I must apologize in advance to those who prefer traditional full-length types. You see, some people on the team have certain...inclinations. /lol

Aww... wish it was real, long yukata. :S
Are you sure it is not a hidden "current version limitation" thing? Can we expect real, long yukata next summer?
I hope 2.0 is coded to allow for long skirts, dresses and other long clothes.

That aside, it's really good news for the new content!
I hope to find time (and people) to beat it! :D
