    Alpha was going to end at the end of the year anyway. That was plainly stated in an interview..

    Let's not have yet another round of QQ'ing over other people getting into Alpha plz.
    No, I'm just pointing out what he said. I just thought it was absurd how crazy people were acting about not getting in. honestly though I'm much more interested in beta (don't mind missing alpha invite), like I said...thats where we'll see the really cool stuff! I don't not want people to get in...I just don't see why people felt like they deserve it, or SE owes them it

    Legend tells of a legendary warrior whose kung fu skills were the stuff of legend. He was so deadly, in fact, that his enemies would go blind from over-exposure to pure awesomeness!

    Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of another, always at the same time as an end and never simply as a means

    To those that say the QQ is coming to an end actually mathematically there is another round of it on the way. So 3 servers each with a maximum concurrent capacity of 5000 and according to Yoshi's post 3/4 JP 1/4 EU (Not sure if that includes the entire corresponding area or just the initial launch areas) and 1/6 of America (Not sure if that is including South America or just US and Canada) of the pools already chosen so giving the fact they assuming a rotation of log times that gives about 7000 slots safely wit the addition of the third server on 12/3. Assuming they haven't reached capacity of both existing servers: Mog (which I believe Yoshi asked incoming player to not join) and Chocobo. Technically they could allow more if the shifts were chronologically locked but since player log in when they can it is unlikely just statistically they would allow close 10k people so from the pools given the maximum of the combined pools total much more then slot available so QED QQs will be upon us once again. And the sequential additions due to log in consistency where one friend gets in and another doesn't after the 12/3 mark will cause more rage hate SE posts and sub-sequential QQing.

    I'm glad that you're not upset that more people are going to play the alpha client. I'm not sure EVERYONE who was complaining were acting absurd. There's nothing wrong with being disappointed, but acting like voicing disappointment is the same as "selfish, entitled, whiners" is just as absurd. (Though, yes, demanding that SE break it's own rules and reveal info, or spreading insane rumors about people who DID get in was pretty crazy.)

    It was established that they were laying the groundwork for Beta before Global Alpha even opened. So by the time the "Alpha servers" are open thrown open at the end of the year, Alpha will be largely over. So I agree that this isn't even really a true "Alpha test". Two reasons for doing this were mentioned by Yoshi.

    Of course there was a demand, but its not necessarily the fault of SE (SE being "selfish entitlement"). The Demand was created by the trailer that plenty of people admitted watching an embarrassing amount of times. Lots of people who would have wanted to play Alpha suddenly REALLY REALLY wanted it with sugar on top, plz plz plz plz plz....

    *ahem*

    Besides the "demand" was also the fact that the old game is not functioning. It was a tacit admission of what people understood all along, (and in Yuri's post), the longer servers are down the more delicate the link between FFXIV and its players. So tiding people over until release is something they need to do.....

    All in all it was a good decision for the game. Yes some feedback (Yes, QQ'ing is feedback) will continue, but that's what Yoshi wants.

    It's very funny that, in an interview, he was surprised at the lack of complaining happening (in closed Alpha that is). So I guess this was the first true strong reaction of Alpha and it was from the people that weren't even in it. So forgive him for acting so quickly. XD

    I'll be happy to play again Alpha or Beta, whatever. I've been searching everywhere for a game to settle in and I keep coming back here. With this sad puppy look on my face.

    Nah. Sensible people will complain about actual things, because that's what you're there to do in Alpha.
