When will 2nd phase of alpha commence??

[Davy]

When do you think 2.0 will start?

I am thinking Nov 12th. The reason I say that is look at the roadmap - http://gdl.square-enix.com/ffxiv/dow...Roadmap_EN.pdf

And before I get flamed for my statement, and for those who think am crazy, I have one question.

Can we agree that up until this point the roadmap has been followed to the letter? If you say yes, look at the mark when 2.0 free version will is scheduled to start. It is the beginning of Nov and no I am not talking Alpha.

They have been working on 2.0 all year and we are now currently "Stress testing the servers."

Early Christmas anyone?

I wish I could whip that sort of optimism out when I needed it :P

Unless I've missed some information, I haven't seen much from the current alpha tests so I do hope it's running smoothly which would mean they're keeping on track from what Yoshi mentioned in a dev letter a month or two back.
