As most speculate, I doubt any of this is true, and a rumor is a rumor, is a rumor...so whatever. I think whoever is saying/doing this, including OP is just a troll trying to light a fire. Unless there's proof from and actual developer or from a producer directly quoted (or translated) it's just another baseless claim.

HOWEVER if there is a July release, I would hope that people, especially current players, would understand and stfu about having to wait. They are completely redoing the game, from ground up, this has never been done before for an mmo, and the devs/producers/devs/mods/gms are people too and shit just takes time. Also remember that we could've been stuck with 1.0 for the duration of the life of the mmo itself.....they didn't HAVE to redo XIV. If you ever had connection issues, or dx issues, problems running full screen, graphic glitches, problems with ninja looting, bots, content finding issues, or complained that there wasn't enough content or darklight drop rate is too low.....STFU and be patient to get what you want =)
