Global Alpha Test Start Date

[Elexia]

Just a note:

Once again "alpha" = "stress test", not "play the game"

So if you don't get selected don't fret unless you were truly that excited for testing ;p

Yay, it's very nice to get the info beforehand, well done!

Would it be possible to tell us 1. if the invites are only for the players with currently active characters, and 2. how many people will receive an invite for the Alpha on 28th?

You needed an active account to even sign up for it and more than likely around 1000 since that's their goal for stability per zone.

My friend told me she had registered with and account that wasn't "active" at the time in a sense that she wasn't playing at the time (she had been playing before and has Legacy) and her account isn't active at the moment (was closed before the end of September).

I'm just asking if people like this even have a chance.

Not if her account was inactive during the time that alpha applications were available.

You have no idea, really.
