Do you want to play after Character Data Save?

[mbncd]

I definitely want to keep playing after data is saved for 2.0.

I could blow all of my cash on a chocobo Hatchingtide helmet that I was never able to get during its original event.

I could finally hunt down the owl in the Shroud -- I know it's there somewhere but have yet to find it myself and when I'm playing now I have to race to get stuff done before November so don't have much time to do fun stuff like that.

I could work on getting a gambler's crown with IV melds just to have fun with the boom box XD

I could go on a rampage killing everything in sight for no real reason then go sit amongst my gobby friends for a picnic.

I could do all sorts of things for no real reason but just because I was in a random mood and because I could. It's a game, I want to be able to have fun with it. This time limit is taking all the fun out of it for me right now. Instead of doing stuff because I enjoy it, I have to do stuff to be able to achieve my goals before 2.0 hits in case I can't do them afterwards. I want all the luminary tools for crafting before then in case crafting is harder or more expensive afterwards so I have to spam crafting now until I'm sick of it then hunt mobs for mats till I'm sick of that then rinse and repeat ad nauseum, or risk it all for the 2.0 changes.

The time after the final 2.0 save is a time for me to relax and do the things I want to do for fun, to abandon all goals and just go with the flow from one adventure to the next.

Even if I didn't want to play in that time myself though, I'd still vote to keep the servers up for those who did.



Also, there's one issue that isn't completely clear. Some people I've spoken to about this seem to believe that the game and our progress within it will not be saved at all after the 2.0 save point. I read it differently, that the 2.0 save was a special point in addition to the 1.0 saves and that our 1.0 progression would continue to be saved for this version for as long as the servers would remain up, but that that information would be too late to be ported to 2.0. For instance, say I got my gambler's crown on November 2nd. I would not have got it in time for the save for 2.0 so will not have it in 2.0. I do however think I would still have the crown on November 3rd and every subsequent login to this version of the game thereafter. Can anyone clearly confirm if my idea of continued saves for this version will be as normal after the 2.0 save? That that stuff simply won't be saved for the new version but will be saved for the current version? Thanks!
