When exactly is the current version shutting down?

The current version won't be shutting down when beta goes live, it'll have to run in parallel, unless everyone in game gets into beta. They can't simply block out 80% of hteir userbase for 2-3 months. that'd be suicide. People will forget about it and pick up other games, and then when it comes back they'll just say "eh done that."

Yup I totally agree with this. That's what I pretty much came to by connecting the two interviews together but it just can't be right. Hopefully they'll comment on this soon.

If enough of us raise a stink about this, I'm sure we can get a MOD to look into this for us ^^
