It's not a new game either like some still believe. They already established with the exception of map redesigns they're simply importing 1.x stuff over to the new client and servers which basically means it's more just updating than anything. Obviously after new content they'll still have to make adjustments, but 2.0 is more of a glorified patch which already has tweaks done to it since that's basically what an overhaul is.

This is why 2.0 is in such a make or break position, since it'll allow for some stuff 1.x can't do, but it can also still have some of the problems that were a turn off for players to begin with, i.e interface lag. So it's more people still expecting it to be a brand new game rather than just a overhaul to the core system.

They could have always added content being released during 2.0's life span in 1.x if they so chose, would it have been wise to, though?

2.0 is an overhaul, it's not content additions. They can add content whenever they want, they don't need new client/servers every time they want to add content to this game.

A Tweak to me is a Hotfix. those are tweaks. With 2.0 it's more than a mere Tweak.. if that is a tweak... then 2.0 must be doing something wrong then >.> according to your information.

You're being way too literal lol.

I have to agree with everything here. When 2.0 hits, I'm simply expecting rebuilt maps, less interface lag and a few more options that couldn't be done in 1.xx.

I'm looking forward to 2.0 very much, but I'm not expecting a brand new game.
