Will there be another season after the current? if so, when?

This is so vague it's disturbing. 

This feels so out of nowhere,I was really hoping to start a new seasonal character after the end of August.

Guess we'll just have to wait, as it says, but that seems like a terrible idea.

How many season characters can you create if "season" is forever?  It's really just the new Olvia.  In which case, if you're not new, you're locked out.  That can't be right, yet... Or is this really the last season, and once you graduate, that's it?

What about Fughar's Timepiece?  Will those just be in constant supply, so that once a season character hits your desired level, you can fill the rest of your character slots with exp clones?  Or are we again locked out?  Or will there be "seasons" overlaid on Season? Or maybe no more timepieces?

What about season passes? Both the main one and the cash shop one. Keep buying as many as you want? Or was that it?

They cut the mount restrictions already, what other restrictions come off? 

If Season is forever, does Season become the game?  there will be many permanent Season players.  Maybe most of them.  And won't those be interesting us vs. them discussions. Or will there be disincentives to staying in Season?  The whole "can't equip normal gear" thing?  What else?

How many sets of Tuvala can we pull out of Season? Or is the one we have the last one?  Or, again, will 'seasons' be overlaid on Season? Will Tuvala enhancing materials just accumulate from now on?

Seems to me that really all this will be is folding aspects of seasons into the normal game progression so that it's indistinguishable.  Which has really become the case anyway, no one starts outside of seasons anymore.  Which is why there's always the "when is the next season" questions.

Kind of takes the special out of it.  Like the season fishing event.  The first season, it made sense.  Then opening it up - didn't. 

I don't know - as this started out, have to wait and see.

I am also very confused about that. The post lacks a clear statements.

I have already graduated and I am at the char amount cap (had to delete chars to even start this Season); so, if I would sacrifice one more char - would I be able to start the Season anew?

...still scratching my head about why they've done that suddenly.

Any players that graduated early have been robbed of the oppertunity to progress their character

We were under the impression that season would end soon (and hopefully new one start soon after)

Let us make another season character now or put our graduated one back into play please

If you informed us of this plan earlier many of us would not have graduated, and enjoyed three months more progression

I understand from your message that you have Graduated Early from Summer Season because it was announced that the season would be ending soon, and now that it has been extended for a considerable amount of time, you wish to be able to continue playing in the season servers.

I would like to thank you for reporting this issue to us. That said, unfortunately, at the moment there are no further details about the possibility of returning to the current Season servers for those characters that have already graduated early. 
If we have a look at the article The season is here, and it’s got a new look that was released today, we can see that there's still more changes and information to be announced in the future.

Sadly, from the support team, we are unable to provide any details about the changes announced to Season servers at the moment, but please know that there's still more information to be announced. Until then, I recommend keeping an eye out on the forums, future patch notes, and our social media for any information that might be relevant to your concerns.

Ι agree. I used the timepiece early to have a second character and then graduated just last week since season was coming to an end soon anyway. Had I known I had 3 more months I would have taken my sweet time and wouldn't even have used the timepiece yet. Oh well.

I hope this doesn't mean less rewards from season.

The only way this isn't goofy is if it's something for new players.  The wording is less than nothing, it's actively detrimental to any understanding.

Nice, I wonder when this new change takes effect ? Right now or after the next maintenance ?

Interesting. Some informations are still missing, but there may be some important changes implied.
