Minor patch? Major patch? How to tell?

[Camate]

Greetings,

As there has been some speculation as to whether 2.1 is only a minor update, whether "3.0" is the real major update, and other such talk, I would like to clarify a bit about the system we will be using.

2.1 is definitely a major patch where we will be adding content.

Moving forward we will use increases in the tenths place (ex: 2.2, 2.3, and so forth) to denote major content updates, while other bug fixes and emergency fixes will take place in between these as hotfixes as they are needed.

We would most likely adopt the usage of "3.0" when we have an expansion.

I apologize to keep you all waiting on information about the next patch, but the next Letter from the Producer LIVE will announce information related to patch 2.1, so I hope you are all looking forward to checking it out!

Yea... like put counter measures for botting tools... it's getting really out of hand where they are warping to monsters and killing them for items to monopolize the markets

[Evangela]

so the minor patches will be 2.11, 2.12, 2.13... right?

[Reinheart]

so the minor patches will be 2.11, 2.12, 2.13... right?

More like 2.1a, 2.1b, 2.1c...
Or
2.1 ver - date - format

In 1.0 the minor updates had a, b, c

Like 1.23a, 1.23b and 1.23c

From how I'm reading it, I don't think they'll be numbered.

If they're numbered, I would think it'd be like what Reinheart said. Or they'd be 2.1.1, 2.1.2, etc.

From how I'm reading it, I don't think they'll be numbered.

But I'm thinking he's right ^

So this information related to patch 2.1 that will be talked about on the 19th.....is it a release date and not just housing details? Housing has lost most of my interest(for 2.1 anyway) when i'm not an officer of my guild and will not be able to take part in creating the fc house other than selling items for other fc officers.
