    1.23 --->2.0

    I was talking within the Linkshell and the topic arose of the downtime between the two clients. Obviously when they data transfer our characters from 1.23 to a build of 2.0 there will probably a downtime where you cant play them. I can't really tell from the current information but will we continue to play our current characters? Or is there going to be another PC beta where we make test characters. In the roadmap they have "Radical Changes to the in-game World" I.e the 1.23-->2.0 gap. It would be really wierd making a new character then coming back to my old one...?

    Basically they've said the transfer will occur during the PC beta scheduled for October.

    If I recall correctly, when the servers go down the beta for 2.0 will go up. It'll take a while to transfer all the data over so in the mean time we can play the beta. As far as the beta specifics go, no idea.

    Well beta is beta after all.

    but as far as I can tell from the information at hand. Yes, once they shut down at the end of 1.xx we will not be able to access our characters in any way shape or form until the launch of 2.0.

    Reason being while the data migration is happening they can't have us updating our character data via play.

    Bah, and here I was hoping I could play other things during the month-long break.

    Welp, I guess people can't complain about not being able to play this game during that time.

    Depends if it's a typical demo masquerading as a beta like so many companies do today or if it's an actual beta with limited play time and is just a series of stress tests for the new servers.

    They said it could take up to a month to transfer data and the people that get to play beta, play on new characters. then after the transfer is done, we can play on ours again.

    And from what I heard, we get to keep our test characters as well. So, we would have 2 characters (if you only have one current character like I do) to own after the transfer is done with our original character for 2.0 .

    I'd like to know if I could keep my beta character (assuming I get access) in addition to the ones I have.
