Game development is so simple anyway, what's taking them so long?!
It's pretty unreasonable for them to take 1/3rd of a year to transfer the data to their new server (i.e. 4 months).

The November 1st date made sense in light of the fact that open Beta was originaly slated for this time, but now even alpha for western players will not be available at tihs time. So since they postponed everything else, they also need to postpone the close date. Or at least they should.

Fact is, November 1st savepoint was devised under the assumption we would have beta at this time. They obviously don't lack the capacity to keep the server up beyond this date, so they should just pospone the savepoint.

Pretty sure nobody's going to see 2.0 release until march. So unless release is in January, it's pretty premature to do the savepoint now.
