The Time is Fast Approaching

I believe that part of the reason for the early release to current players is to test the stress placed on the new servers by actual play from the current population. They should be able to tell right away if there is a problem and correct it prior to release. After the failure of the current version at launch I believe it is imperative for SE to launch on time and they have planned to make this happen.

Exactly, Thats why it's Technically a 2.0 beta but its not for us, because we get to play it way in advance without losing anything before it goes live to other people in January, so that we can stress test it for 3-4 months, so that FFXIV 2.0 Servers can take a Massive amounts of players without trouble.

This is a good call to do, something they really didn't do for 1.0 all that much.
