Starting to look like a long downtime for 2.0

Honestly, it would appear that Yoshi P is doing his best to get 2.0 out for winter/christmas/new years holiday season.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to point out that the ervers "go down on Nov 11th" and Yoshida's desire that the data transfer take "no more than one month" indicate that Yoshi P projects that 2.0 will go live early to mid december which just so happens to coincide wit hthe gift giving holiday season.

Just my two cents but logic dictates that this would be an ideal launch date.

I understand how pessimistic everyone is and I know well that SE's track record this past year contains frequent patch delays but making snide comments like "SE wont be able to launch 2.0 til March" is beyond rude it's just plain insulting.

You can tell me I told you so when the time comes, i'm just saying from Yoshi's point of view these negative comments really aren't helping in any way shape or form. Sign up for Alpha, then sign up for Beta, be a good tester and report the bugs that you find and maybe *just maybe* you might for once have a positive effect on the development of this game.

You are right. Yoshida would like to have a Christmas release. Having said that he will not jeopardise the success of the game by forcing it. SE has already made that mistake. With the projected testing schedule I do not look for release til early Feb. Yoshida will take the time to get it right.
