So people think we are in a beta phase? For what, an already completed game being scrapped for a better one? The improvements you see are for 1.0 and some new ideas in 1.0 will be carried over to 2.0. Beta is to test a product before it's release, and we are not playing 2.0, we are playing 1.0. If we were in beta testing, it would be test 2.0's engine and client.

We are not beta testing a client that is eventually being dropped completely, we are playing a 100% completed game that is simply being replaced by a superior product. Whatever changes and criticism that is making 1.0 different, some of these new features are not going to make it to 2.0, because all the Dev's are doing in 1.0 is attempting to hold you over till they can get their better game out there. Simply making the time in the game for you right now a bit easier.

People need to research the term beta before using the word so loosely.
