Is version 2.0 really coming out before 1-1-13

[Cynthis]

Also, keep in mind that if the 1.0 servers shutdown and the 2.0 beta starts, and going what I said above, you're basically playing your character from scratch until the transfer is complete. That shouldn't be a big deal, if you really think about it.

Just a speculation.

So I am essentially being forced to re-roll and not have progression saved. That's a huge deal. I don't mind doing some beta testing but as far as playing significant parts of the game and then having to do them again, no thanks. The sole reason I started to play an MMO was to be able to grow my character over time unlike regular games where you play for a few weeks and then stop.

If I can't play Cynthis and keep her progress for 3 months or more then I will consider her goals fulfilled and move on with my real life. It would cheapen my memory of her to start from scratch with a new character and besides, I simply don't have then energy to go through it all again. As for the new low/mid-level content, Cynthis can I experience all that when new classes are introduced as is fitting.
