so far THIS was all that was said by yoschida considering relics and 3.0 :



famitsu: How will the ZW quest evolve from here? How will be it handled in 3.0?

Yoshida: Players have worked hard so of course we're not throwing everything away. Most people will be busy working towards the new level cap at the beginning of 3.0. There will also be new items you can get via the new quests. The continuation of the ZW storyline, its sequel, or some kind of scenario where your weapon grows with you, is planned for 3.1.

famitsu: Will you spare a thought for ZW owners then?

Yoshida: Of course.
