SE is always SE... Rage inside... :/

SE wants the people that quit to come back, its them NOT us that will give this game the boost it needs for 2.0.

Invite those for a beta, not the alpha.

This, this and this again! Alpha it's a stress test isn't it?! So it's not the right "field" to experience the new game, especially for those people who quitted years ago.

Right. Give the alpha to who paid and expecially to who have experience in the game.
Then let try the beta (that will be more complete on every aspect) to everyone.

Giving the a work in progress alpha, is a risk.

This could be a risk indeed.

Btw, if one of your winning friends will refuse to play the alpha, i'm here to resolve the problem.

Naaa he will play it a bit just to tell in ts EVERY bad thing about the game.

Ohh look at the crappy animation, ahh this lag badly, ahh the bs is dead slow, ahhh you can shot behind the rocks and not getting the loss of view (this is when he saw garuda :P ) .

But then ill try it anyway :P

I'm not saying they SHOULDN'T have been given a chance, but it should have been equal chance. If they DIDN'T give them a chance then those people may have thought that SE doesn't want their business anyways.

The only difference is we've been playing the game and they haven't. Its also one of the key factors.

This. Most of the quitters don't want to know how stable the server is when x people are fighting y mobs in the same zone or if they can push those numbers a bit further. They want to know if they can quest, fight, play without it being as tedious as in 1.0 at launch. I don't know how much content is present in the Alpha builds, but i doubt it's enough to make them stay for good.

Whats done is done there is no use being angry at the choices that were made. I remember reading that the first few days of global the servers wouldn't even be online 24 hours anyways.

They also said they want everyone to get a chance. This isn't the last phase of alpha invites. Yoshi-P said he wants everyone to have a chance. So be patient and we'll all get an invite.
