I don't see what the big deal is on the alpha. I was stated there won't be much to do on the Alpha.
Basically it will be stress areas. they will get people to log on in certain areas. Only parts of Gridania and the new Black Shroud area will be available. If this is like most Alphas there won't be much if any quests, maybe a smidge of story, and some mobs. On top of that the servers will be down most of the time as they schedule the load testing.


I am already expected a bunch of people to leak what they see and whine about the bugs and issues. I am already seeing whining and blaming just on the application, I can't imagine what will happen when the alpha has issues for you.
