Alpha Test for U.S

hey guys i'm pretty sure there a thread where they talk about alpha test for U.S but i still cant find it lol so i just made a new one XD lmao so i'm looking and see when will U.S will have the first alpha test and how many people are gonna get them. is it gonna be random pick or u need to have done something to get? i know you have to sign in the website but how SE gonna pick the people to enter the alpha test? alright guys please leave any comment or anything u want to say about the alpha test :)

I think all we know at this point is that the choice will be made from people who signed up for Alpha/Beta test and that they will be notified via email when its ready. Its possible its an entirely random pick and im guessing theyll be looking to get a sample range of pc/s laptops performances so theyll possibly group candidates into performance and random a certain amount from each group there... EU/US alpha is taking place once Japanese testing is underway as far as im aware.

Alpha invite for EU/NA start in about two week seeing how it's 1month of alpha and part 2/3 should take about 2weeks. Yoshi-p said that a world can fit about 3k players and if needed they can allow more players . With that information i'm guessing they wont be a lot of players playing alpha just due to the fact that alpha is only stress testing one world.

So most of us may have to wait for beta to even play the game where they add more worlds for players to play.

damn alright cool thank you so much for this great info :) hope we get lucky and get the alpha test XD lmao

Not many JP player got in to start with so I think it will take time for US to receive invitation
the goal of Alpha is to receive feedback and I am pretty sure it is easier for them to handle everything in Japanese to start
and then will add english-speaking communities, one step at the time

I desire getting into beta more than alpha. Like they said, its just stress testing in different areas, making players do things all simultaniously in mass quantities to make sure servers wont crash when players do this or that or when there are too many people doing this or that in one spot.

Just speculating, but I think Alpha for the other regions will start shortly after the 11th. I would think Japanese Alpha should be in Phase 2 by now just based on Yoshida's positive remarks about how well Alpha testing is going.

Don't understand why people want PK we not in war with eachother we in war with empire and mobs.

well i hope they getting good feedback from Jap player i hope the game become really good, im alright not playing it now, and knowing that later the game is gonna be much better. im happy they working hard to make it what it should had been from the beginning ^.^

I honestly didn't read the ToS very closely, but I would think any qualifying account should be able to sign up, regardless if multiple accounts are in the same household.

just go to this website http://entry.ffxiv.com/alpha/index_na.html

Pretty sure its open to anyone with an account, regardless of IP.

You can but you need to have 2 different computer because it wont allow if is the same computer i believe i might be wrong i really cant remember XD lmao but im sure it that way :D lol

You only need two separate PCs because you can only run one instance of a client at a time (dunno if its gonna be taht way for ARR too)

Of course there's ways around this to load more than one window but...why anyone would duo box in beta is >_>a

A27: The first phase of the Alpha Test has been completed, and we have managed to solve almost all of the issues when player numbers increase. We've made it possible to safely run the game with 800 people in a single area, but once it the area exceeds 800 people we've seen some heavy lag. Next week will not have an Alpha Test and we'll be focusing on fixing this. The week after if we are able to hold five days of tests with no issues, we will open Alpha globally on 11/26.

Note, there was an earlier post that said there are four phases to the Alpha Test and that Phase 2 (a Japanese Only test) was completed November 11th. Yoshida's reference to "five days" is the Phase 3 test. One of his posts called it "California Only." Some people think he meant it would only involve the California servers. Phase Four is what everyone is waiting for. and that is what he means by "we will open Alpha globally on 11/26."

Tomorrow is the official start of Phase 3 testing. However, as far as I know, no notices have gone out yet. My guess is either Midnight PST tonight.... or it is delayed.

I think tomorrow is the start of phase 2 then phase 3 next week they be doing 5 test this week for phase 2 if that goes will then they would send alpha invite for everyone else starting next week.

The 5 days ARE the test of the foreign server. These 5 days are described: "if we are able to hold five days of tests with no issues". This important test is the test "originally" called "third test" or "third phase test." It is very clear that this foreign server test will be held from Monday Nov 19 to Friday Nov 23.
The final Alpha phase is the Global Test starting Nov 26. Now these dates are subject to change if the testing reveals major problems.
