"screw over"..how can you screw over a handful of players with a patch release? lol. Everyone has access to the same game.

Like 2.3, it will likely land the first or 2nd week of November (4th month instead of 3rd month.)

That's just the time limit to log on so the game can deliver the items to you. If you log on after midnight the 23rd you won't get it. It's not the patch.

I reckon the patch will be released on the 28th, but now I have been wondering about something else. What if they are going to release the patch near the release date of the new WoW expansion? I mean this happens often in mmorpg's they release a patch or expansion near the release date of another mmorpg.

I hope the 28th of October, but I fear we might get it in November.

they did a presentation in china showing the 2.4 for october, stop with the 2.4 will come out in november, actually the best course for them is the 21th, like this people that will come to the fanfest of london will focus mostly on the expansion and they have time between the two fanfest (las vegas and london) for the 28, they have the fanfest of london that start the 25 and finish the 26, the 27 they are at a live event in japan, that leave them with an extremely heavy planning if it the 28, the 21 seems more calm.

What happend to the 2.4 trailer? Dont we often have a trailer then 2 weeks after the patch?

The 21st is in 5 days. Isn't that a bit soon with no announcement of a maintenance date? It's gonna be the 28th or the 4th.

Remember: They initially stated 2.0 would release in Dec 2012/Jan 2013. Yoshida also said originally golden saucer was slated for 2.3 - Square Enix also said Versus XIII would be out in 2012. Point is: Square Enix and Yoshida says a lot of things.

They wouldn't release a trailer right before a fanfest, they are trying to amass as much "content" for a fanfest as they can. Which means those at the fanfest will be the first to see a patch trailer. It is just a timing thing. Gotta please all those who are dishing out the cash to attend the fanfest.

Actually - based on FFXI history (same company and dev team) they would release trailers before the fanfest, what they normally would do is release more during the fanfest. The trailers prior to it is to drive up the hype for the fanfest (Hey more info here!) not the other way around

Probably holding out for the Fan Fest.
