The Time is Fast Approaching

2.0 isn't until Jan 2013. So I would honestly say during the beta phase to really not expect much..probably even less than what's in the current version since if you've already done all of the content in current game, you won't have new content to do in 2.0 beta since that's the main thing that's being ported over.

Check your information. Version 2.0 is approximately Sept-Oct not Jan 2013. This will be available via client update and download.

Jan 2013 is when they will start distributing the new Version 2.0 in retail stores.

2.0 doesn't go live until Jan. They stated the Beta will be what's upcoming in Sept-Oct. Since the PC "free trial" is shortly before the PS3 Beta/Live period, which is Dec/Jan.

Check the Roadmap again. Unless it's changed since then and they've discussed it elsewhere, that's the *PS3* Closed Beta Test. The 2.0 client drops between September and October. The Roadmap even specifically refers to November onward as the "Version 2.0 Free Trial Period".

Worst case scenario, even if we're to assume the software is released but not activated in September-October, it's still set to go live no later than November. Again, according to the Roadmap, not sure if it may have changed since then.

Question is, will 2.0 be a sufficient to handle the MMO world? Guild Wars 2, Diablo 3, Star Wars the Old Republic, Elder Scrolls online, Tera, Blade & Soul, The Secret World, World of Darkness? That's a stout list...

That is why the community needs to support them. Nothing good can come out of awful criticism. Think of the Vietnam War, the reason for the supposed failure was lack of support for the troops. When your community or people do don't believe in you, you don't believe in yourself. I know with support 2.0 will be amazing.

GW2 not THAT impressive, Diablo 3 (not THAT new.. I played it, and its ..diablo...), SWTOR.. ? (Are you kidding me... that game has voice acting in the quests and that really is the most impressive part of the game. I beta tested it for months before launch AND played after launch until last month when I left and came back here.), TSW (decent game... using AoC mechanics.. atleast thats how it feels to me. Pretty neat features.. implementing google and google maps.), TERA (lololol.. Im only sad that I spent the 60 dollars on the digital collectors edition.), Elder Scrolls Online (ABOUT TIME), I know nothing of Blade&Soul, World of Darkness (not to impressed)

2013 is the redistribution in retail.

2.0 will be out prior for PC, as the PS3 enters a Beta, and the PC version is further tested worldwide and tweaked. The PS3 version will have an independant server from the PC 2.0 version until Jan 2013 at the retail redistribution and PS3 retail launch.

As far as other mmo's it depends on yoru personal likes and dislikes. Im myself played GW2 from the closed beta, to the semi- vip open beta, and it feels same old same old to me. Some of the animations on mobs are pretty bad at times, and in main GD events it becomes like a first person campign spawners feast. Which hopefully will be changed soon.

I liek the idea of Elder Scolls onlien but we still ahve to see it in action (not CGI created examples that many thought was GW2).

BS.

Wheres your source? They will NOT seperate the servers at all, its a cross-platform game (just like FFXI) therefor it needs to be tested cross-platform.

What the PS3 will have is a different engine from the PC version. Wether this calls for different servers or not I cannot say.
