Nov26 Alpha Global release

Hopefully West gets invites.


Yoshi-P
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.

Of course the West will get invites to the global alpha test, seeing as it's Japanese only currently.

Which Crystal Chronicles is that? lol

Good thing is that next week they'll have a five day test (no more 3 days/week). Let's hope they get the chance to play in other areas and we get the 3rd video of alpha preview ^^

It is Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King (Wiiware)
It's surprisingly entertaining as a management type game where you build your kingdom.

Is it easy to apply for Alpha tester?

Here is a link to the application.

Minimum Reqs aren't bad at all btw.

And for this phase, we won't need Fiber Optic connection. (^ ^')

Note that emails have still not gone out for Alpha-3. My guess is that Alpha-4 (global test) may be delayed past 11/26.

Tbh, emails and download links could go out as late as the 22nd (for the global alpha atleast, I would comment on the so called 'california only test', but I've heard nothing about that til your post in the other thread so I'm not sure if it actually exists or not, source needed D: ), so I wouldn't worry about it.
