Here is where it gets confusing for the not so intelligent folks out there.



POST means AFTER January 2013. They left it open because they don't know when it will be ready.

Expect 2.0 to actually launch sometime around late April/Early May, based on previous experience SE is not so good at keeping their schedules.

Version 2.0 client (PC and PlayStation®3 system) goes on sale

It goes on sale Post January, but I'm sure we get to play it ahead of retail.. and Late April Early May? When they close down the Servers of 1.0 in October and have 300 people working on this 1 HUGE project?.. I don't believe that judgement call :P. Having servers down for 8 months is Absurd.

sigh...another person that cant read.

the PORTING of CHARACTER DATA (aka your dumba**) is expected to be finished sometime in march. In otherwords you will be playing beta on a NEW CHARACTER which will probably be deleted just like they were in 1.0 beta when the game is finally launched.

seriously can you read?

According to the info released by SE the servers for 1.0 probably wont even go down until sometime early to mid feb and then the port of the content should be done early to mid march meaning the actual game launch would be either early april or (depending on set backs) may.

Just give up. It's never going to sink in.

nowhere does it say that porting character data will be done in march. Selling the game in Jan and not finishing a data transfer until March is a little out there, don't you think?

seriously wtf? does anyone on these forums know how to read? lol

The new server system is already up and running on internal development equipment, and we are in the process of finalizing general
search features, the party system, the friend system, and more. At the current pace, we hope to have all basic system features
completed by February 2012.
After that, we will begin work on the worldless party matching system, as well as the porting of all current content data and player
character data. We expect these tasks to be complete by the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013

My statement still stands. IT DOES NOT SAY, going by the roadmap, that it will be march before data transfer finishes so my argument is still valid. Also, if it does go on sale in January, which I'm expecting late Jan, early Feb, that will mean that data transfer has finished.

I also find your attitude to be fairly rude and I ask that you fix it -.-

I find your stupidity very stupid and ask that you fix it.

Why are you so rude? There is absolutely no reason why you should be treating people like this. According to the roadmap, there is nothing that says "data transfer completed by march." Yoshi may have said it in a TRANSLATION to someone else, which could very well be wrong, but he said "we expect," that doesn't mean "it won't be completed sooner." Again, fix your attitude.

I see the roadmap and a TRANSLATION, which have often been wrong. My argument is still valid and you are still rude and obnoxious. According to the roadmap, post-Jan is sell. They won't sell the game without data being transfered. In the translation, he said that they expect the data transfer to be done by the end of march. This, again, does not mean that it won't be done mid feb.
