So 1.0 owners have to start paying the monthly fee immediately?

Forgive me, but you don't get it. The free trial period was of 2.0, not of 1.0.

The free period they gave was with 1.0. You're not making any sense, and it doesn't make any sense to give a "free trial" of an old failed game.

We got absolutely no free trial with 2.0, and we aren't getting any.

Which based on the dates would be months of early access because release is stated as Jan - post (sometime after Jan) and reinstated free period is before at oct-nov. So that should be your real complaint which is also unrealistic, which you also stated because people would be upset for such a head start.

I am not trying to defend SE, I am just pointing out the flaws in your interpretation.

I also think as I have stated many times it would be good marketing for them to give a period for those who quit long before a chance to come back and play but I am guessing they think they will come play beta 4 if they have interest, though as I said I don't class this as a free trial period either.
