It's not RNG >.< the Dev's said it themselves they used the information you put on the app... to find computer specs / availability and location (location is also giving through billiing address as well as IP it is how they have been tracking the number of players in each region >.>)

I think people also forget how many thousands of people play this game. It's no surprise many are left out of these tests. It's not because you're not what they're looking for as a tester.

They create a focus group and then RNG. Its still RNG its just parameter-ized RNG.

the can easily set the system to look for applications in SET region then filter for BLANK availability and finally start inviting based on specs once the amount in that region is met on to next region 100's get left out but they get the quota they needed for invites. No way to tell if the dev clicks send for the invites or an automated system clicks send

12~16k people were active by shutdown (not all at once but overtime) based on the logins/search data JP players were keeping, so yeah people will be kept out but with enough Alpha worlds every XIV player that was currently active could be in the tests no problem lol.

But yeah.
