Software distribution

[Zumi]

Wonder if beta will be free or will a sub still be required.

Way to go off track

They will begin PC districution to current players. They pulled regualr game sales so anyone who hasn't alrady purchased the game will ahve to saiwt or get a regular invite at events.

When you becoem active is another story, it will apear in your account with a build number.

Just pray they have distribution cetners all over the world to make it faster.

Nowhere does it say anywhere about February or March, it may go on sale around those times, so ps3 users will have to wait till then to buy the game, but we should be playing the trial in early November. The trial will have all of our character data, so it is pretty much the current release of 2.0 for current players.

I really hope you're right. It's all a bit confusing, though. Yoshida said in an interview that they're hoping to start open beta in January. He didn't specify for which platform, but as far as I know they're aiming for the game to be release around the same time on both platforms, so yeah.

The free trial bit is what's confusing me the most, though. Is it just a free month on the current build, or is it a free month on 2.0?

The way I understood it is, for those that are currently playing get a free trial to the actual game at that time, the term " Free Trial" always ment to me: "1 Month free on the Retail Version". didn't know it ment something else o.o. lol

That's not very considerate to those on capped bandwidth or limited speed such as public/campus internet.

Really? My campus internet is uncapped and is around 20x faster than my home internet lol...
