Letter from the Producer, XXVII (04/20/2012)

[solracht]

Maybe I'm overly paranoid but I don't see how the "Return to Eorzea" part of the campaign is a good idea. It's still way too early for that. Gonna be hilarious if MMO sites re-review the game during the free period.

[Grey Jorildyn]

$10 bucks for max slots? It's as if SE cried out and the sound of many complaining voices were suddenly silenced.

Wrong fantasy? Either way this sounds excellent!

[kisada]

ah, thanks, guys.

for some reason i was convinced 2.0 was coming out in june

[oldoldman]

1.22 coming out at the height of finals week... Fuck.

[Aito]

I thought he was going to discuss the poll results in his latest latter :/

[Rammses]

So with the "start of version 2.0 beta testing" statement, they refer to the "distribution of 2.0 software" that's scheduled to happen in September according to the roadmap? No other date for beta has been announced right?

That left me kind of confused as well. I do not see where the 2.0 beta for PC begins on that timeline. @_@

I approve of this. Very nice surprise indeed.

Beta for 2.0 is whenever the free trial starts for everyone again.

One thing we can gather from this is that retainers are no more in 2.0.

Not necessarily. if you checked the legacy campaign

Note: Pricing for other features, including longer billing cycles and Retainer Characters, have not yet been decided.

[Fievel]

Very excited for all this, great news. Sad that AF weapons are being delayed though, was looking forward to those.

On the brighter side though, we finally get Hamlet, yay!

This is the actual quote:

We didn't forget about the poll! The results will be released in an upcoming Letter from the Producer, so hold tight until then. ^^

It just says "an upcoming letter"

I hope there are some clever folks that put silly names in like those that donated to Stephen Colbert's Super PAC

Framunda Maballs

and such.

[Patriarch]

Willing to bet my Suckysucky Fivedorra will not make it

[Rocl]

I just imagined them pulling RL names from SE accounts.

[jwang]

Paying only $10 for life for max access to everything? SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE! Glad to see our persistence is worth it.

[Corrderio]

Pretty cool, but I want the poll results already.

[Croy]

Pretty cool, but I want the poll results already.

Probably going to get released in a producer letter on the day of or just after 1.22 is released. It was mentioned earlier this week that the player poll would be in the producer letter after this one.
