Global Alpha Test Start Date

[Nuru]

Big deal, I can "report" that there's a purple polka-dotted chocobo outside my door right now. So... (shrug) Ah heck, maybe it IS happening. Who's to say?

I know what you are getting at, but think of it this way. Maybe that report will lead to the case of the Robber who wears a purple polka-dotted chocobo suit? What a twist!

That's exactly the matter. The backlash about this phase hopefully will encourage SE to keep to the rules they stated themselves for the next.

Past errors teach for the future.

This is what I am hoping for, but nothing has been proven or has been set in stone. Out of the many applicants who have applied for the alpha test, have got chosen. We were just some of the unlucky ones, or maybe we just have a better chance at getting into a more complete testing phase where we can test out the content that matches our interests on the test application. That would seem to be more likely and fit for the situation.
