Fooled by FromSoft to buy DarkSouls 2 before April?

Everyone knows from months ago that you have to buy it again if you already have the old, so no mystery, all companies to that, Metro2033/Last Light, Sleeping Dogs, Deus Ex Human Revolution, etc. So I see no problem.

It's a pretty old news but yeah, it's becoming a trend now.

There are rumors about owners of the dx9 version getting a possible discount for the dx11 version.

I bought it full price long ago and got 100 hours something so I can't really complain.
From what I've heard the 2 versions will be hosted on seperate servers so it will suck for people who play it for PvP or co-op.
I think best would be if they would just sell it as an upgrade pack for the owners of the vanilla version.

The worst part being the DX9 playerbase getting effed by the player base being split. So even if you aren't buying into this, you're worse of because of it

Is this a joke?

Good, maybe I can buy this version for $5 in the next sale. Don't care about online or cutting-edge graphics.

Almost 1000 hours in, but I'm not giving fromsoft a single penny from now on :)

I haven't been paying much attention to this, but if Miyazaki takes some control over this re/release. it might be good news.

Maybe not for us that already own and wasted so many hours already, but there is a lot that needs fixing.
I don't mind if we end up with 2 separate servers, because even though I enjoyed DSII, is by far the worst in the series

EDIT: Is there any info on how much will this cost?

Luckily I don't have the game. I care about graphics but not about any kind of multiplayer. A discount is a must for stuff like this. Even better, it should be free.
