If you look at the Alpha application you will see that players are warned that Alpha is not ARR. It is just a cobbled up piece of software that tests the servers. They put stuff from ARR i it to see what player reaction is.... it is still not ARR. If all goes well everyone will get to take a personal look at Alpha on the 26th of November (Alpha-3). If all goes well Beta will start around the beginning of February (everything is 2 months behind schedule). Beta is ARR. So wait for Beta to gripe at ARR.

I think Alpha is beautiful considering what it is and what it is not.
