Oh man I thought this was a forum and instead I seem to have found my way into a private argument that doesn't concern me.... I'll just let myself out...

Seems like we could have played a few more months before even bothering to switch into beta.

may have something to do with the fact that we are actually playing on the 2.0 servers now using the 1.0 client.

Eww, lets not disgrace the servers with 1.0. SHUT HER DOWN. :P

(Just want to play till beta happens if that is going to happen soon then all is cool, but SE shouldnt offer us too much alone time to find our sanity)

I've always wondered about that, you'd think ARR would go straight to beta then ;p

I found this quote from RPGamer website this morning. It was from a recent interview with Yoshi. It wasn't part of the actual interview just a footnote at the bottom of the page.

"RPGamer would like to thank Naoki Yoshida and the PR team helping Square Enix for arranging this interview. Stay tuned for more information as we near the 2013 release of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn on PC and PlayStation 3."

Are they hinting at a 2013 release? Do they know something we don't?
