    How on earth do you apply for alpha/beta?

    I have already applied but I can not find the application again now. I wanted to suggest to some of my friends to apply. I'm sure it was on the ARR website.

    Note the following: Only Application for Alpha is available at this time. Application for Alpha does not apply you for Beta application. Alpha-2 is done. Alpha-3 for California is schedueled to start Monday Nov 18. Alpha schedule is not rigid as SE has to prepare for each test. Alpha-4 is schedueled for the end of November or the first of December depending on what happens in the Alpha-3 test. Server response was not as good as hoped in Alpha-2 and some changes are being implemented. SE is currently on holiday, recovering from a hard schedule to close FFXIV-1. Beta test applications will be available in December or January.

    It is just the way they are testing the servers. Alpha-4 is the world server test.

    I'd like to see a source too, there's been nothing about a 'california only' test anywhere, it goes right from Japan only to global.

    The first phase of the Alpha Test has been completed, and we have managed to solve almost all of the issues when player numbers increase. We've made it possible to safely run the game with 800 people in a single area, but once it the area exceeds 800 people we've seen some heavy lag. Next week will not have an Alpha Test and we'll be focusing on fixing this. The week after if we are able to hold five days of tests with no issues, we will open Alpha globally on 11/26.

    If you read into it, you'll see those dates match. This info is legit. Regardless of source.

    There's been /no/ mention of a California only alpha anywhere which is where my confusion lies. California only seems kinda ridiculous anyway lol... but that's just me :x

    The dates given are to the Japanese tests then the global alpha, there's no mention of a cali only test anywhere.
