Global Alpha Test Start Date

Pretty much this, SE should know at least who enter on the forum to check it, idk, maybe when someone log on. I know 2 guys that got alpha invite and both don't know there were a forum here...

Also, not QQing now, just sad .

But why? Alpha testers have a different forum than us - it was stated awhile ago. What benefits will knowledge of a previous forum do towards the testing of an alpha version of what is at the core a different game?

Read the latest players poll the majority of players do not post on the forums, we are the minority, so by your logic the majority of players should be excluded because they don't wanna post here.

Yes i know, but i think that people that generally use the forum or at least check it will guarantee that later on the alpha will use the forum to post bugs, etc.

Maybe SE don't want people that use FFXIV forum because will say something about the alpha? xD

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Funny thing is, if us forum posters are such a minority in the player base, they could have very easily saved themselves a lot of trouble by inviting everyone who ever got involved in the forums.

Yes, even Rokien.

Talk about missing the point... sheesh.

Talk about missing the point.

Give me a reason how participation in an outside forum helps SE test a game that has its own forum. Do tell me.

Talk about living in the past.

I'd assume Faiyez is referring to the idea that if you've participated in playing 1.xx for the past two years knowing full well that 2.0 is on the horizon and SE needs/wants/has been asking for feedback the entire time, yet you have never once visited/posted on their forums to do so... what makes you think their suddenly going to get all chatty now? Not saying I necessarily agree with that, but I can at least follow the logic.
