If we were actually testing 2.0, then we could call it a beta. What we have now doesn't really have a name for it. It's never been done before as far as I know. But I'd still say we were testing concepts for the future direction of the game.
We're not testing anything. We're playing a game that's version 1.0 and is going to become 2.0 in the future. I know that this doesn't seem too far away from thinking it's beta to 1.0, but this is simply not the case. We're not testing anything, this is live content. They're slowly changing the game in its current version to be as they will make it for 2.0. In the meantime, they will get our feedback, this much is true, but I sincerely doubt they'll close the lines of communication as soon as 2.0 is released.

Moreover, there are those other unique things concerning the 7th Umbral Era that we're all tired of enumerating over and over.
