Thread of dispair

SE will most likely see how many out of those accounts get to play the game, and will revoke/send out more invites accordingly. Just my theory though.

lol exactly, the whining about it is ridiculous. They have to let in enough to get the numbers up to the testing numbers they want. More invites will be sent. But even when that happens, people are gonna whine about how devoted to the cause they've been and didn't get in on the 2nd invites. We need people who ACTUALLY want to help the game, not just play it because they want to see 2.0 or because they're currently going through withdrawls. As long as testing goes miles better than what is expected of the alpha tests, we can expect to all be rewarded. To players who got in and are reading the forums and laughing at these people: Don't halfway do anything, get this done and help make the game great, don't just be in Alpha to rub it in anyone's nose, help them to help us. Do it for Louisoix.

I think my email being empty is my punishment for getting into the original alpha and not contributing much :/ (Because my laptop at the time wasn't able to run the thing very well).
I am genuinely happy for people who have gotten in but also so bitter!!! haha, We wants it... We needs it!!

I'm wondering where are the people who actually got in... really curious to get an idea of who actually got an invite. I'm not sure where this idea that you violate the NDA for saying whether or not you recieved an email offering an invitation came from... that's just ridiculous. But because of how rumors spread around these forums.. I'd guess that what most people are going to believe..

In any event, it seems like SE did a horrible job of showing their appreciation to those that supported their game.. but what else is new..

I don't see how support of one game means you should have some kind of expectation for special services from SE towards another game...

FFXIV and FFXIV: ARR have been stressed to be independent games at the core systems. Alpha testing has been stressed to be equal for all applications regardless of your progression in FFXIV, save for the stated requirements. Why you think they need to show appreciation for our continued investment to FFXIV needs to be carried over to alpha confuses me...we have enough appreciation with legacy, goobbue, and other unique in-game items.

If you got in, you can't actually state you got in which is why no one on forums (except one that accidentally slipped it) has mentioned getting in. I can't find a copy of ARR's NDA @_@, though I remember the same clause from 1.0 Alpha, think of it like fight club~

I'm almost certain if they just released a character creator standalone 96% of the complaining would stop. However, to be honest I've been in various mmo alphas... they have all sucked. If anything you just get more bored with the game come launch because it doesn't feel as "new". I do understand people being upset though I didn't get an invite this round either, but I couldn't care less. This is because not all the character creator races/features are implemented yet so odds are I'd be stuck testing on a character I really hate to look at. If I don't get in until beta, fine with me XD

Quit playing yourself.. its the same game... we supported version 1.0 knowing full well 2.0 was on the horizon for about the past 2 years.. that was the whole point..I guess you just got here (and if that's the case, shouldn't you be downloading the ARR client rite now.. LOL) ...?

I never mentioned any entitlement.. I simply stated the fact that they continue to do a horrible job showing appreciation.. Legacy would be nice if it meant sumthing, but clearly that doesn't even give people early access to the alpha of a game they been playing for the past 2 years.. I get that your satisfied, and that's fine, to each his own.

Again, that's just a rumor your proliferating unless you can show where in the NDA SE get's the right to censor your email account... You can not disclose any information you become privy too as a result of accepting and agreeing to participate in the Alpha yes, but saying whether or not you received an email regarding an "invitation" to alpha is not violating the NDA.

Anyone know if they're done sending out invites? I'd prefer not to check my email if I know I have 0% chance of getting one. :/
