So it seems all the players will start off at the meteor then... It seems like there won't be alternate perceptions of the game based on new players and 1.0 players...

Actually, it was already stated that while brand new players start off at their respective nations, Existing 1.0 players will start off in a special starter area.

Don't make such large assumptions based off a bit of CGI.

Oh... I see... then I imagine that they released this as fanfare for current 1.0 users and so new players don't totally have no ability to see the 1.0 start...

Would you be able to find the quote for this? Or anyone?

I'm happy to hear they are doing this, as I had thoughts that inconsistencies would arise due to NPCs not knowing who you were and what not. Though if we see some form of Louisoix's Spirit who tells us not to mention the shift in time, not to mention who we once were etc, things would be much more believable in Narrative terms.
