[Reminder] Are you ready to cry again? (2° Wave of Alpha invites tomorrow, 3 dec.)

[Phe]

Tonight's metaphorical kick in the balls - My husband's inactive account got accepted. I'll commence beating him with sticks in the morning.

could we please get a Dev response to this?
Did alpha invites have been sent out to inactive accounts? How's that possible?

[Dragonheart]

... yeah ....

well Beta IS going to be another Lottery. Doesnt mean if u didn't play Alpha you'll get 100% of playing Beta. Its going to be
A) play Alpha and Beta (for the lucky one)
B) play Alpha Only
C) play Beta only
D) have no luck at all and is doing the bacon dance on the floor screaming like a wounded squirrel. No Invite for either Alpha and Beta.

And yes pepeol who have a none active account on FFXIV have been invited. If they does have, its because they have apply. Simple as that.

It's a different selection, so yea, the only good thing that i'm thinking is "SE doesn't want me to play the alpha because they want me to be first one on beta"

I think we all have a better chance to be in the beta, because they will send more beta invites than alpha invites, as there will be more content open so we can bug test in depth, and there are not so many resistant factors as there are in the alpha.

Anyway I'd prefer to be in the alpha as I don't want to play content that may not be final, and I know the progress is not going to be saved and then have to replay it when the final version is final released.

I want the benchmark, to see the pretty graphics in real time in my computer.

Try checking your SE account, people reported they didnt get email but were listed there for alpha test.

oh?! But I'm at work now and have the authenticator at home... can't log in to see my account till later...

I can post in the forums because I brought once the auth so I could save my credentials here.

I thought beta would have been released to most or all Computer players its just hearsay but it would be nice if that were the case.

[NefarioCall]

At this point i'd best accept my shaftedness.
No love ; _ ;

[Andrien]

look in the bright side, everyone will get in the open beta.

This is PROOF inactive accounts getting accepted. I would like the community team & Yoshi try to explain themselves.

Everyone had the opportunity at filling out a form for alpha invites.
They were selected based on their answers.

I now know for a fact both active and inactive accounts are getting in. But with limited space, not everyone is getting in.

Chill.
