November? really?

[Cheraa]

Also name me other "new generation" MMOs that have a patch cycle that is lower than 5 months.

If you let me answer this: Well there isn`t.

SquareEnix did extremly well during FF XIV 2.x with the content patches. Better than any other MMO currently running. Does HW provide to less content? Well maybe, I can't tell, cause I'm a new Player that still has to get to level 60. But if I look to the number 1 MMO in this Genre World of Warcraft, than I can say, yes, Warcraft has maybe about 2-3x as much content in a new expansion than HW can offer.

BUT, this has a price. Warcraft is well known to not deliver any Content Patches in the last full year before an Expansion goes live. In FF XIV there has been how many Content Patches from June 26th 2014 to June 26th 2015? I think way more than...NONE.

I think another point for the delay of 3.1 is the datacenter movement of chaos to europe. I'm sure SE didn't want to release a major Patch and work on the Server movement at nearly the same time.
