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

No one said you were guaranteed a spot, CE is not some handicap licence you can wave to get the space in front of the store. stamping your feet on the forums won't change anything.

I have a friend on FB that RIGHT NOW is telling me why he can't enter in alpha.

and after many talk guess what? He was trying to login from the OLD CLIENT, he don't even know that ARR is a completely new client and that the alpha start on 28.

SO i don't have tho whine about this? Expecially when the requirement said that only active account would be able to apply in alpha. Bah.

[whoopeeragon]

but they able to apply with inactive account.... is it working as intended?

In which case, it may have been a glitch, because I had one friend who tried to apply with an inactive account, but the alpha registration page rejected him, or so he said. The fact that Dragonheart's friend managed to apply with an inactive account puzzles me.

dragon,may I confirm this, did your friend apply for the alpha?

People which didnt play for long have somehow priority. a friend of mine who got my "Friends-Pass" just got the invite. Funny thing.. he said himself that he dont have an idea what he should test, since he has little to zero experience in FFXIV, since he basically just played the trial and the last Month to experience the end. May it is a good idea to let people test 2.0, which did not stick with 2.0 to see if they would stick with it now... but after all i dont see a point in doing that during a Stress-Test. They would prolly expect more than an Alpha-Test has to offer. looks like the Sword of Damocles to me.

I guess the Mainproblem in this Thread is that certain people got invites to the Alpha with an inactive Account, while the Applicationform says that you need to have an active one.

Maybe "those people" are just messing around tho, who knows.

Im still not convinced OP's friend applied >_> sounds like a big troll to the OP. Especially, since yknow..they're not supposed to say if they DID get in e.e;

Why do I keep hearing this?

A friend could always tell you IN PRIVATE, some of you people sound like the NDA is some pact that makes the police knock on your door if you tell anyone.

yep, we just need clarification for this one.

one word: promotion for people who quit long time ago.

[Vilhem]

Maybe so but...I still think the OP is being massively trolled by his buddy <.<

But then to bring it to attention on the OFFICIAL FORUMS? Which means that you've been in contact with people who breach NDA and hereby signifying that maybe you won't be a person who will also follow NDA? Meaning that you'll get less of a chance to get into alpha testing?

Maybe I'm the only one who sees the irony in this.

In all the alphas/betas I've been in, the NDA included that you cannot tell ANYONE not in public nor in private that you are a tester. Not even the people who lives with you.

I saw the email on skype with webcam of one, and other copy pasted the text for apply on ts, and most important thing.. We are friend since FFXI usa release (or even before).

And if this is not enough, a lot of people are posting in 2 of the most important italian (where i look like a SE PR cuz i opened many official thread and answering every question to anyone) sites that they got the apply (of course without pay anything in past).
