Alpha invites

[Starlord]

The first phase of an alpha test for MMOs is mainly about server balancing and stress testing. In the 1.xx first alpha we would be sat in a login queue for a lot of the window, get on for about 30 mins before getting kicked and being stuck in a login queue again. Servers will always be unstable during the first alpha test because they need fine tuning.

Which is why I like the Japanese to do all the stupid annoying stuff first, so that when it comes alpha phase 2/3 it won't be "As" bad :P.

Sounds like you just want to play, rather than being an actual tester. xD

Um, that would be a negative, but the first phase is always the most annoying part of any MMO testing, I tested a bunch of things, however if I were to get into phase 1 of course I would be testing to make this game better. Lets get that straight right now.

*cough* I wouldn't count on it. I doubt we'll see something "playable" in the classical sense until at least late Closed Beta, if not Open Beta.

Indeed, nothing will be playable till it's time for it to be released honestly.
