I have to say I'm disappointed with SE in the way of selection for Alpha by inviting inactive current players over active current players. When players who played through thick & thin of 1.0 problems and paid to continue to play the game till offline event. We don't get to see & play the game , found your bugs report them, etc. It just seems your loyal players are being singled out more than those who continue to say XIV is crap still or XIV is a WoW clone now. Our NA/EU Community team is slacking & lacking on delivering info on progression of ARR. That's my bag gil being dropped on there heads.

I'm confused about this as well. If the goal is to stress test the servers, wouldn't it be better to invite players who are more likely to log on a lot? I'm not fussed either way, but I do find it a bit peculiar.

I wonder if people actually take a moment to say: I didn't get into the Alpha, perhaps that's my fault.

It's an interview pretty much. Did you select the right choices, do you have the machines they're looking for, etc. etc.

Well of course you can't control actually getting the invite, however I bet they do exclude apps based on answers given in questions.

still find it funny though that they can just not make any posts on the NA side about this stuff going out...I guess they figured since we have rein they dont have to work, hell do it for them.

No they figured if they leave the slightest hope that invites might not have been sent or haven't finished being sent, since they didn't post notification, they can avoid the shit-storm of last week on the English boards.

First the job interview at SE then now this... /sigh... j/k j/k lol

This one is not as bad as the job interview's feeling I had. That one got me all sad for almost every day for 2 month straight, thinking "What if I said...." or "I should of said this...." orz still comes back time to time but not as bad now... lol

It's nothing like an "interview", nor is it my "fault" I didn't get an invite. How are we meant to know what the "right answers" are?

Honestly, not going to say too much but I'm disappointed on the whole. Having played nine years of FFXI though, I really should have known better. Live and learn I suppose.

Even if SE found the capacity to invite the entire world into Alpha ... people would still find a reason to QQ

Hey Mug, How are you doing?

As said in " Players who played through thick & thin in 1.0 problems continued to play & pay," we logged on everyday. So yes, it would be better to invite us to help test new version.

All I can say is that it looks like they chose people who cleared Rivenroad Hard for this wave. Mwahaaha.

Fact is, they don't even need to. These extra rounds of testing are more just a courtesy than anything. From what I hear they have all the feedback they need from the first phase with the JP players.

C'mon people, we'll all get into Beta.

Yeah, it really does blow to be honest, but sadly that's how our world works. Also you really deserve the job at SE, and it's a crime that you're not there now.

Woo post 1,000 went to Reinheart.

Strike that. Reverse it. He should have worn his subligar instead of the suit.

If I quit my job can I get in next round? :P

Ok. Well I'd quit for a job, as I have obligations that require a salary.

Getting an alpha invite has about the same chances as getting a darklight body. :P

Truly sad to see people like Holy that didn't miss a day (or almost) since release out of the alpha, while people that quit after the first month are "testing" (or better, logging in and being useless for a couple hours before going back to whatever stuff they're playing now).

It will because this thread is getting way off topic like the last one.

How exactly can we get off topic from "Are you ready to cry again?"

Well thank you Abriael. Didn't expect that kind of compliment. Regardless of if I get in or not, I hope there is useful feedback for SE. I would like to play this game for years to come with a positive community like we have here. (Despite the forum rage some days)

What if all they care about in alpha is stress testing? What if they're saving those invites for beta for people that played from day 1? It would make sense after all.

Just keep your body prepared.

For those who didn't get an invite today, don't QQ, too much over it.

New players added every week from here on out.
