Yeah, I can understand the feeling clearly. I just hope I might see you around!
About the beta part... how can I say it... It's a beta, okay? But it doesn't feel like it. There's a lore behind it, all this Seventh Umbral Era thing is happening in this "beta" period. It's more like the world is evolving to a new one, which is basically Beta -> Release, but with an interesting story that adventurers in 2.0 will not have the chance to experience if we don't open our mouth, y'know what I'm sayin'?
