Server shut down

[Quesse]

No one has said anything about 3-4 month downtime. This is purely player speculation and negativity at work.

SE has said that they envisage the launch of ARR for the New Year. As in November and December - that's two months downtime. I have a very hard time believing they would push this back beyond winter break.

Just to prove my point since you are unable to prove yours:

Upcoming Patch Schedule & Version 2.0 Details

Page 15 (last page) "Comprehensive Roadmap":



tralalalala...

So basically you've linked to proof that its launching after Jan 2013.... here is the exact quote from that document:

・Post-January 2013 – Version 2.0 client (PC and PlayStation®3 system) goes on sale


So again, I ask where your source is that launch is going to happen in Nov/Dec???

- Free trial period ends

That's basically whats going to happen, Having only 1 month of beta is suicide :P. That's why it's on the road map, except we don;t know when "after" Jan 2013 the game will launch. after January the road map is useless to follow (unless they make a new one :P).

(unless they make a new one :P).

This is exactly what they're supposed to do especially if dates are getting off, even so much as updating older roadmaps. They had no trouble doing this for FFXI lol, even the ToAU timeline was followed very closely, only exceptions were major systems that got pushed back due to "balance issues".
