I think you didn't read it right.

1.xx and launch!2.0 won't be up at the same time. However, they'll be running the beta tests in between those (we aren't using our 1.xx characters for the beta test so we don't need to wait for the transfer).

What’s going to happen is that after the current version is finished and storyline over, the servers will go down and the 2.0 beta will start up. We want to make sure we don’t make the same mistake as before, and want to be sure we have enough time not only for the beta test but also to get feedback from the players and leave enough time to implement that feedback. Also, keep in mind that transferring the characters to the new servers and systems could take up to a month. So that process will be running while the beta test is in place.
