Global Alpha Test Start Date

[Bayohne]

Greetings everyone,

I know the alpha tester selection process is a hot topic, and while I cannot disclose the selection process, I do want to pass on some additional details to help you better understand the situation. To ensure a broad scope of testing for the Alpha Test, we did accept users with specific types of machines, setups, connection types, ISPs, geographical locations and other configurations that we need to test that may, or may not, meet every requirement on the application. Alpha is an important first step for testing and we need to make sure we have a wide breadth of users testing it.

We appreciate your understanding, and we look forward to further expanding our selection in the future. In fact, there are a few Yoshida posts that we're working on today that go into further detail on this.

Thanks for the update / further clarification

Look forward to more news, its awesome to hear / see some really great stuff coming out of alpha (when alphas are famously known not to be great its even better ).

Now I think for everyone's best alpha experience you may need to test my particular ISP, computer rig, and geographical location - my address is . . .

Thank you for telling us the very thing the rational people already knew
