Legacy players are automatically allowed to play 2.0 beta? no right?

Open Beta starts December~ish. it was originally late October then mid November, don't be shocked if its pushed back yet again.

09-28-2012, 10:16 PMMedurahmm, they have said they wont give any date yet though. But since the game is supposed to be out before the end of 2012, i hope it will be before then :P (get an early beta and get rid of early bugs is important)Quote:

its obviously not possible in that time.
it'll be more like that:
october/(november) -> alpha
november/december/(january) -> closed beta
january -> open beta
feburary/march -> release
and the roadmap shows also that it will most likely be 2013 and not 2012:

the comprehensive roadmap says that the client will be out in january 2013.. and its the old roadmap of 2011 .. post-january means it can be after january.. i think it'll be more february or march. i say march the earliest ;)

So if closed beta and release is from start of november to start of january, that means the game is out before 2013, following their original plans. (And yes, they are rushing to get things done in time, many things wont be out before march, so expect some bugs, but fewer than legacy) -

post january means AFTER january..
and as i said.. you cant do just 1 month alpha and 1 month closed beta and release the game afterwards.. thats not possible.. beta needs more than 1 month for a game... and the CBT is followed by an open beta also.
at least it takes 3-4 months for Alpha, CBT and OBT. minimum
and they'll do better with it to take time. of course i cant wait myself.. but better they use more time than releasing it with bugs etc. again. that would be the second fail otherwise -

Unless Yoshi-P decided to pull a 180 on this since E3, it's like I said before, Legacy has no factor into getting into the beta. It's priority for people who currently play over people who may have Legacy but quit as soon as they got it. -

I really think 2.0 will just be ready when it's ready. They can't predict when that will be because it depends entirely on how the Alpha and Beta go, how many bugs are found, how serious those bugs are, what other things are deemed broken when accessed by the masses, etc. 1.0 didn't respect the Beta process, they released it before many issues were remedied, and that's how we got into this huge mess from the start. Yoshi has said that he does not want to repeat that mistake. If he stands by that, there is no way to predict when 2.0 will be ready.
As for when the Beta will be ready, I think it will probably be about a month after servers go down if Alpha is primarily for incremental stress tests (starting with just the Japanese and then going out from there with bigger and bigger groups). It still depends on how the Alpha goes though. If the stress tests don't go well, Beta may be pushed back further. -
09-28-2012, 10:59 PMTonkraehm, we wont pay anymore since october you know that?Quote:

well, if free trial is same as open beta, then im ok with it i guess, would be a great way to keep the players without saying "this is the end product" :P

10-06-2012, 03:18 AMZakarnRosewoodThis sounds more realistic if not pessimistic. But i would prefer to be a pessimist cause there will be fewer surprises in life and the surprises you get are good ones! lol, joking aside i would prefer they take longs and released a more flushed out and polished game than rushing to meet a deadline they set for themselves almost a year ago. we all saw what happens when you push to meet a deadline, you get an overhaul of the game and the director "steps down".Quote:
