what could have been good, even if probably impossible, was to get the 2 worlds (ours now and the 2.0) to co-exist
Like you you need to go through the story of the first one to get access to the 2.0 one
so the people who just bought 2.0 would all start the story like most of you did month (years?) ago while the current players would all have access to the new version of the world
So old/new players would not be at the same place until the new players end the first part of the story. 2nd world would need at least one job lv50 to access
crazy idea....
