Not the time to charge, cya in 2013...

6) How would they know they like content unless they pay for it? Over the last 13 months they have given you a taste of what the future of this game holds. If you have not liked what you have seen up until this point then more than likely waiting for V2.0 to come out will not fix that. We are not waiting for a "relaunch". We are waiting on the PS3 launch. The PC version is going to change but not relaunch. Anything you have done up till now will still be there when V2.0 in released. It is a patch/version update not a server wipe. Everything done up to that point will be done to improve the current version as much as possible and to transition the world via storyline. You will still be receiving more storyline content and improvements to the game. You will be paying for that content from now on and to even more appreciation for us sticking around they will be releasing what equates to DLC that they could charge for as a freebie.

You can read reviews and watch videos. You can know the content before you pay for it.

Calling it a relaunch does not mean a server wipe. A relaunch meaning they will completely rework the game from the inside out, they've admitted this. A relaunch will bring a new advertising campaign, like how they mentioned they will bring it to next years E3.

People, 2.0 is a relaunch. They want to wait until the game is 'ready" to start bringing in new players. More people are going to leave this already desolate community of supporters. Your think your server's /shout channel is quiet now? Good look getting a group going outside of linkshell friends.

Stop bringing up the fact that my "main" character is only level 13. If you're not going to read the entire thread, then don't come in here spreading hate.

Wait a second...you are basing your opinion on another persons opinion? I could understand if the game was not FTP if you did something like that but here we have been for a year now and you are basing your entire argument on the opinions of other people? Ummm ok. So why did you play the game to begin with? Alpha and Beta were both pretty horrendous overall and not much changed at initial release. I can understand waiting out reviews for 6 months to see what people have to say if I have to pay to play but if I buy a game and it's free for a year you better believe I am going to get my monies worth out of it before I make a call on its worth. Your other point about "knowing the content before you pay for it" is all nonsense. Seeing a few snip-its of in game graphics and some fighting scenes here and there tells you nothing about content. It might tell you something about mechanics but nothing about storyline. Reviews in general are almost always biased and opinionated and the narrators only point out what they want you to focus on rather than giving you an overview of the game itself. I usually turn down the sound so I can look at the game and not hear someone else telling me what I should be thinking about a game unless I want to hear the sound effects. If it looks interesting and I like the storyline then I give it a try. If I don't see anything that might interest me then I wait it out and make a call on it later.

Reworking menus, a graphic engine and environmental aspects of the game does not qualify as a relaunch. They are not changing the armory system. They are not changing the roles. They are not changing any progress of characters. They are not relaunching anything. They are just updating and revamping some things to make them run smoother and/or make them more accessible to people who may have trouble with them. They are also reworking them so people can get faster response times from their actions. All of the core mechanics for game play will still be the same. In short, same game just a different skin.

Bringing it to E3 doesn't mean a relaunch either. They are just reminding PS3 players that they are still around and are going to show them what the game will be like when they get there. As one who watches videos and reads/watches reviews you should know that the game is going to be a bit different in V2.0 so players should get a peek at the way things are going to be and not what they were. Again, this is advertising a revamped version of a product...not relaunching.

As far as you being level 13...could care less. I realize that people restart characters on other servers or walked away from the game before and are returning so I read what they have to say first and see if they really know what they are talking about. After reading what you have said I have come to the conclusion that you do not have enough working personal experience with the game to say it is good or bad. You gave it a try and did not like it and are validating your opinion with the opinions of others. I think you made a snap judgement on something you have not fully experienced. If you bought the game and it was free for a year I am not quite sure why you would do this but hey to each their own.
