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?
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.
