The only connection 2.0 has to this game is some concepts, battle mechanics, and lore/story to a *degree*. As such ppl just need to treat it as a different game, and not a patch (which is what ppl are treating it as right now, a big patch).

They said pay or don't, the benefit of paying is that all your work will get transferred over to the new game, and there will be a connecting story so that ppl who *care* about story and lore are not alienated and left trying to explain why their character is suddenly in a new game. Its nothing like a carrot on a stick, you are just waiting for the release of a new game, which is exactly what 2.0 is, a new game...not a patch.
This is the best explanation of the 2.0 that I've seen, well said. *claps*
