I am sort of expecting the alpha beta process of 2.arrr to be the same as what we went through with 1.xx. Except with out the feeling of being mostly ignored.

pretty much this

Alpha is only going to be in the shroud area that they showed at Gamescom. The following beta i believe is for everyone especially when they shut down the ffxiv servers. I dont think they will make us go without our ffxiv fix for a month or so w/o atleast letting us run around in beta while waiting for data transfer.

As far as special treatment? I think we probably will not get anything extra nor should we. I bought the CE just like most everyone else but I must admit I am a bit selfish when it comes to this game. I kinda approach it with an "if I like it I dont care who doesnt attitude." The point being if I like the game then there are bound to be others that like it too.

Everyone should be allowed into beta so we can all enjoy the new game together period.

Sounds like the 1.X alpha where you could only play in LL.

It's not about a new IP. New servers, new client, lot of things to test and feedback to receive. Doing it progressively just makes sense. We may not even have access to servers 7 days a week at first as well. It could be region based like first alpha phase. That's also good for SE to get feedback on latency, especially from NA/EU players.

you totally could be right but that doesn't change the way I feel they will do it.

I am sure they will work fast as possible to get all current players into the beta. Yoshi said it was a focus.

Honestly, I feel like Legacy members should get first dibs. Not CE-buyers. I bought a CE and didn't play it for more than a week until this past May.

Honestly no offense Kagato but this is irritating me. Legacy this Legacy that blah blah blah. Call me bitter but you know who should be getting first dibs???? All those poor PS3 players, LOL. Those poor guys have been waiting FOREVER. Seriously, legacy to me shouldn't take priority. There should be a mix when SE pulls people in for beta. Get off your Legacy High Horse and understand that we need everyone this round.

Side note: Think SE should pull in some youtube channels to help get the word out. I would like to see Yogscast or TotalBiscuit get their hands on beta.

Many purchased a game and expect to be able to play it. Many of us poured cash in to suppor tthem and should be able to contineu to play with minimal interuption.

PS3 players waited mainly because of the hardware limitations and the current engine was just to much for the memory design (not made for mmo's).

Yet they haven't already paid for the game, shouldn't get priority to play for those who purchased the product already, and have paid monthly. Even tho testing on that version is well needed.

I have deffinetly wondered why I payed the extra money for the damn thing aside this security token. I don't think i could watch the dvd without cringing.
