Sorry to those of you that were not selected in the current round of Alpha Tester selection. Unfortunately, we need to control the number of users participating

Like you're able to keep non-active applicants from being accepted to your test in accordance to your own guidelines?

You'd rather delete entire threads without warning, wouldn't you?

[VitoScaletta]

Just wondering, if they need to control the numbers of users participating, will those currently in the alpha be locked out in a few weeks, and a new wave allowed in?

Well, if everyone was allowed to participate right from the get-go in a "Alpha Version". There would be soo many crashes, Yoshi-P with be smoking 10 packs a day instead of 1 and drink 50 cups of coffee a day instead of 15! XD. Alpha needs to be handled with care. Believe me I want to play as well, but I want them to do it right at the same time. Letting everyone in an test/playing "Alpha" is a Doomcake ready to explode!

People raging or whining about this are fucking insane.
Its like getting mad that you didn't win a contest.

Also, who cares if you don't get selected for a two weeks aging test? Geez, only two races are available even. Alphas suck balls. I was in 1.0's and I wanted to shoot myself in the face.

Sorry to those of you that were not selected in the current round of Alpha Tester selection. Unfortunately, we need to control the number of users participating, so not everyone is guaranteed a spot. However, please note that this is not the final selection for Alpha Testers and we are proceeding to make adjustments so that we can continue to add testers.

A suggestion: Keeping out those that don't have an active account (as was stated rather clearly on the application form) in favor of those that have an active one would be a wonderfully efficient way to control the number of users participating, or at least a very effective first step of selection (not to mention a perfect way to avoid a bloody bad PR blunder).

Just thought I'd put it out there, in the case what we're hearing on the issue is indeed true, for future use

[Velhart]

Me too ; ;

Was super excited this morning and it was a big disappointment

That about sums up my experience with SE with every patch, every update. Disappointment is the theme of this ordeal. :O

I'll get over not being in alpha, but just saying, we were the ones who put 14.99 a month into your borderline broken game, not the people who quit in 2010.

How about confirming that officially, rather than believing some random troll on the internet?

No. According to the interviews, they want to keep the login ratio at around 60% (of all accepted participants). Once the ratio drops below that, new wave of invitations should be issued.
