2.0 website when?

So its pass E3 when are we suppose to see the 2.0 Teaser website ?

He said soon after E3. It's only been 2 days plus it's the weekend.

They said "soon after", not right away.

I would expect to wait quite a bit longer.

Will probably be a week or two before we see it.

i was confused about this too, but I think august. that's what the new timeline says anyway

I would assume the marketing campaign would coincide with the site release

If you notice, from the 13th to the 14th the Square Account System will be going down.
That is by no means definite proof of anything, however, it is suspicious. Almost makes me think the new teaser website might be related to the Lodestone

Yeah, there's a rather lengthy update posted on the main page, including Lodestone being down for a while. I have a sneaking suspicion we might see the new website on the 14th.

I would imagine that they'd release it soon, it be odd to have interviews to "trickle" the information and not release a site soon after. They wanted E3 to be the point where they grabbed peoples attentions but just showing pictures and some interviews is only slightly better then all those other games that showed trailers.

If they want to keep the impact of the 2.0 anticipation they should release the site by next week so that people will either:
-Be talking about it over the summer and antcipate the trailer whenever they plan on releasing
-Or be so intrigued by the changes and the fact that there's a 1 time story going on that they'll sub to the game.

As it stands now they did kind of shoot themselves int he foot with the May 31st cut off of eligibility for Legacy since I have read around that those who may have considered playing decided not to because they wouldn't be eligible for Legacy. In the grand scheme of things a chance at a 1 time story doesn't trump the fact that they missed out on Legacy, so rather then play a game that isn't 2.0 they will now wait til 2.0 kicks in.

I think perhaps what they should do for people who decided not to play til 2.0 is perhaps issue a challenge for all players past Legacy cutoff date.

-Any new players that enter now and complete the one time storyline will be given the "Destiny" Membership granting them a 11-12/month cost which will grant them 8 chars on each server.

I understand why they cutoff the legacy date to May 31st but I feel like if they want to draw more people in now they should issue a new type of benefit, that's more of a challenge, pushing those to play the game and perhaps make it through the whole story.

But ya I daresay they lost a potential 75% of new members because of the cutoff, they'll just wait til 2.0 comes in if they can't play/pay in hopes that they to gain the benefits that others have received, if you throw them a bone at a chance of some sort of discount for playing now, I believe it would increase their overall profit in the long haul.

I read the May 31st thing not as a cut off, but as a guarantee that you'll get legacy status if you sub thee coonsecutive months.

If ver 2.0 Beta start in November you have JUNE JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER OCTOBER to pick 3 of those 5 months to sub to to get Legacy.

You run the risk of missing legacy status if you take a break.

JULY 31st is the absolute last chance to sign up and sub, and you must sub for 3 straight months.
*Edit*
Eh on closer inspection of the last call announcement and the info from the interviews, yeah it looks like May 31st was the absolute last call for NEW players.

NEW player: Free period in JUNE -> SUB: JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER -> servers shut down in OCTOBER to transfer data to ver 2.0 to go live in NOVEMBER

RETURNING player: must sub at least 3 of the 4 remaining months of ver 1.x opperation.

I didn't take into account that the servers would not be available in October. For new players, or that the first free month didn't count either.
