Those are the same ppl they want in Alpha and beta.

Yea, Yoshi-P did say this...They wanted to get people who stopped playing into the Alpha and Beta...and people who never played the game at all as well. The people who stuck with it are unfortunately on the same list as people who didn't support the game. I get it...but it's frustrating as well.

Well I get this too, I can see what advantages it brings, but it still feels "unfair". Congrats to those who got in anyway.

Hm I wonder though...didn't we have to have an active paid account to sign up for the alpha? Or just an account? I don't really remember lol ; ;

You did, and in recent (past few months) interviews he wanted active players in.

I don't think their site checked all that well for active accounts because I knew a guy who quit playing last January and it still let him sign up for alpha.

You need an active account, as said in the application requirements on the alpha page : http://entry.ffxiv.com/alpha/index_en.html

Well signing up for the Alpha requires you to log in using the Square Enix Account Management...So at the very least you would have to have an active SE account which is free for anyone to make.

I don't remember if having an active XIV account is required.....never mind it appears Patafix solved that one for me. lol
