    so the people that got invited to the alpha test was a random thing? or something else? like people that were non-activated players, so they could see the game and hopefully they would come back to play the game and the community would increase? or is something else?

    - Selection will be based on the answers submitted in the application. Those selected will be notified by email.
    * Testers will not be selected on a first-come first-serve basis.
    - Acceptance notifications will be sent to the email address registered as Email Address 1 on your Square Enix Account.
    * If you have an active spam filter, please deactivate it or approve messages from the “square-enix.com” domain. - Selections will be made in each test phase, and the number of testers will be gradually increased. - Testers will be able to participate in testing for the duration of the Alpha Test. - You do not need to submit multiple entries for each test phase.
    So probably not 100% random on that part but within those that answered the questions it probably went through the random selection which it needed to be those with 'active' account but we don't know what their definition of 'active' is as some just activated on square-enix account management screen without playing throughout the FFXIV 1.0 or quit at early point and still got in.

    They are going to do the 24 hour testing end of this month so probably that's it for alpha testing?

    Thats what I think happened. Just made a couple groups of wants and dont wants and then told the computer to piss people off :P

    Yatta! Success!

    Yoshi said/"was hoping" to get almost if not everyone (players) in the beta though so, I'll hold my sad puppy face till then.
