Unless I'm missing something it was the EU rep who posted the announcement so... let's hope!! Hehe.

I probably wouldn't expect anything till like the morning in the US.

1hr until 26th GMT.............. Bet it won't be GMT

I don't think the Invites will come "Exactly" at midnight on the 26th :P.

Well if it means anything which it probably doesn't, 1.0 Alpha invites were sent out at 4:55 AM PST. Doesn't mean they will send the 2.0 ones out at the same time. But most people found out they were in the 1.0 Alpha when they work up in the next day and checked their email.

E-mail synced to phone.... Phone alarm set to go off when I recieve an e-mail notification. Gonna sleep peacefully till I get an e-mail. It's not like if you don't check your e-mail right away you'll have your alpha e-mail revoked, so just sleep and check it in the morning =) or do what I've done. I'm not fretting. If I get in: yay I get to help make the game better! If I don't get in: oh well, I'll go about my life as normal.

It should be based on JP time, after all every official post always has been and more JP players are being added, even with that said, i doubt it'll start showing up until after midnite PST based of past history (midnite PST being irrelevant flag, more just the fact that it's a convenient time JP). Not a major event, if i get in i'll do whatever the e-mail says tomorrow after I wake up lol.

If you really wanna have some sort of notification, I'd recommend having it set-up w the FFXIV Twitter account then check your e-mail. Can't imagine waking up all night for every e-mail I receive just for a notice of Alpha acceptance considering 1st possible opportunity to utilize that acceptance is 2 days after.
