Who will get into FFXIV 2.0 Alpha/Beta

[Elexia]

I think it'll mostly be tied to Legacy for alpha.. if they recruit for Alpha. Then beta will be a wider pool of players.

Nope, he explicitly stated Legacy members won't have priority and at best they'll try to get some in, but this is mostly for people who never touched FFXIV.

No offense, but citation needed.

Even if there is no priority, I'm sure plenty of Legacy players will get in lol. I haven't read anything in interviews where he said "lol no Legacy players allowed." The most I saw him say was "We won't tie it directly to legacy, but more details will be announced later blah blah blah."

Basically being in Legacy doesn't automatically grant you with the possibility of being in alpha or beta it'll be completely random. While I can't find the quote in said interview just look at the Legacy page itself http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com...gn.html#legacy

It says nothing about beta and clearly states what the 3 benefits of being a legacy member are:
1=Discount
2=Unique Chocobo
3=Opportunity to have name in credits

There is nothing else on that page that says "Automatic Entry into Beta" if there was then there would be no argument but the page clearly states what Legacy means and it doesn't mean automatic entry into Beta.

yes, people need to stop feeding self with false hope and information, and then get them self kick in the butt when they didnt get it.

Stop assuming stuff when they haven't announce anything concrete

Gee that sucks.

Hey, thanks for supporting and believing in our game but we're just going to draw names out of a hat and let random people get into the new world, that you paid for, first. Chao ya'll~ :apassiveagressivewinkingclosedsmileemoticon:

Ah well, the 'free' shit makes up for it far as I care.

Doesn't discount the fact there are other possibilities behind the scenes..

[Naraku_Diabolos]

I think (not sure lol) that in one of the E3 interviews Yoshi mentioned something about who will be doing beta/alpha testing...

I would think all Legacy folks will get to test alpha

He said in one article that Legacy members were given first priority for the Beta.

EDIT: Whoops, I didn't read above on the 3rd page. I was reading from the 1st when I quoted. My bad.

as with the others, [citation needed]

Also, many of us have been "beta testing" this game for a year and a half or more, nearly 2 years for the first alpha testers. To not include them in the beta and make them take a days/weeks/months/however long vacation from the game while they let a bunch of random whoevers in would be a slap in the face.

[Antanias]

I imagine they'd wanna let everyone in just to stress-test the new servers and see if they are up to par. That alone could be the difference beteen a successful relaunch and a certain doom.

Feel free to read the latest round of interviews from just before E3 to after.
