Option 2 seems like the better business strategy if they want to retain revenue, and seems more likely as there were barely any news about it, and "pre-registration is somehow already over".
Option 1 seems like a bad idea no matter what, as many of the current player base would lose incentive to play the game. Unless DMM really thinks them opening an English version will attract more new customers, ending up with a higher player population=more revenue, and make more than what Nutaku pays for Licensing fees.

Personally I'm hoping for the second possibility. It would make a lot more sense for the sake of retaining current player population, chance of population growth from new-comers and "hopefully" some older-players returning IF they fix jewel rate up. This would also allow them to actually gain more revenue(which should highly be the reason why they wanted to take kamipro back), whereas if they decide to be lazy as hell(not wanting to work on data transfer) and choose option 1, they might end up losing quite a lot of player count, thus shrinking income.
Is there a way we could somehow tell dmm about this?
