Thread: 2.0..... Why

Haven't I been saying that until the game is ready for its relaunch, that it's a beta and not worth paying for? Doesn't that make sense in the context of everything that's been happening with the game; with sweeping game changes happening every few months and player testing of patches happening after they've been applied to the servers? That's what a beta is, through and through.

If you want to spend money on a beta, I won't judge. I'll probably do it too because I want to be able to keep up with the game as it evolves and $13/mo is chump change for me.

This makes it hard to, y'know, put any weight to the first statement .

Why? Because I realize that I'm paying for something that I probably shouldn't be paying for?

Yes.

"I've been telling you guys all this time that the game isn't worth paying for until relaunch... oh, I'll personally be paying, but don't mind me."

If you don't follow your own advice, why should anyone else?

But I wasn't try to convince anyone to stop paying for it.

There is a lot they don't plan on putting into the game before 2.0... I'm afraid that all patches prior to 2.0 won't be bringing drastic changes to game, at least nothing that will make you feel like you need to pay for this.

they could have said "right we are turning it off for a year, come back in 2013 when we have rebuilt everything" that would have been alot easier than trying to re-build it while we still play it, so this is why you hear wait till 2.0 alot

This would have probably been the best way to do it, they could have got it out much faster than 2013 having the whole team working on the same project instead of splitting them down the middle.

Uh-huh.

So completing a project of this scale in <2 years sounds like too long of a timeframe to you? They are practically remaking the entire game, while making a new game takes usually at least 3 years after pre-production that can also take years. They were done with that in 3 months.

The only steps they are skipping in comparison to creating a whole new game are the gear and few area assets.
