Global Alpha Test Start Date

[Trenma]

To help weigh on the clarification of "Active account".

My girlfriends account was disabled from the first step and when attempting to apply for alpha it would not allow this to be done until we logged into her account and enabled it (nothing to do with Characters or payment options, It was purely "Disable or enable FFXIV on this account").

Also for those frustrated, I understand It can feel a little insulting but what Harm is there with those that quit back in 2010 coming back with the chance to throw some opinions on why they left, as it may assist in development for the now.

If they wanted to throw opinions on why they left, they had plenty previous chances. That's not what an alpha test is about.

It's obviously rather illogical to allow in people that manifested a lesser interest in the game, over people that stuck with it, and are prone to test the alpha much more throughly.

The main problem with alpha and beta test is the percentage of randoms that get in just out of boredom, like it was a quick demo, and then quit without providing a single piece of feedback. It's quite obvious that current subscribers are much less prone to behave like that.

Ultimately, though, a rule was in place, and that rule should have been enforced. I know quite a lot of people that purposely resubscribed in order to have a chance at the alpha due to that rule, and I can't blame them if they feel tricked.

Perhaps they have yet to get to those other threads. At any rate, my point was that multiple threads on the same subject don't really need to exist, whether they're exact clones or not. And I really have no reason to divert from anything, so that made absolutely no sense whatsoever. lol

Yep, Obviously it takes them more than an hour to get to threads right at the top of the page. Please...

And again, you're ignoring the fact that that thread was not on the same issue.
