SE is always SE... Rage inside... :/

It also said players with active accounts would be invited and that turned out to be inaccurate.

Did it say all players with active accounts would be invited?

No, they said you needed an active FFXIV account to be able to apply. They did not say you needed to be active. Obviously they said you need to have the time to test tho, I remember reading that in the application.

I have no problem with SE getting players who quit in the beta or something more polished to show them the progress first hand... it really bothers me they are letting people who's accounts have been inactive for years to get into alpha. It just does not make any sense to do.

Alpha should be comprised of the die hard fans mainly, those who will not rage about something being incomplete or broken. I only hope it is a good mix of new and old, but getting in people who rage quit the game long ago is only going to get the game blasted on forums.

People will not care about the NDA, if a person who hated 1.0 hates the glitches or bugs in 2.0 Alpha it will be all over the forums that 2.0 will fail because of X reason. And even if the logical person knows it is only alpha.... it will increase the size of the mountain XIV has to claim to have a successful release.

I do not think anyone here knows everyone who got invited or the spread between active and Non-active(those who have not played in the last year), but I hope SE done the right thing.

Excuse me, does it say somewhere that they will stop sending alpha test invitations per mail this week? It's still tomorrow left. I for one are gonna chill my pants down and try to cheer up even if i too wanted an invitation first.

They mentioned in a post that all the mails have been sent out for this phase and that if we didn't get one (by now) that there were more tests coming up in the future.

Extremely safe to say that if you don't have one now, you haven't gotten in but don't be disheartened^^

But then to bring it to attention on the OFFICIAL FORUMS? Which means that you've been in contact with people who breach NDA and hereby signifying that maybe you won't be a person who will also follow NDA? Meaning that you'll get less of a chance to get into alpha testing?

Maybe I'm the only one who sees the irony in this.

You have failed to realize the criteria in place to select alpha testers. Which is basically they don't give a damn.

Some of you really have no idea of how to tell between what's reasonable and what's unreasonable.

[Faiyez]

In all the alphas/betas I've been in, the NDA included that you cannot tell ANYONE not in public nor in private that you are a tester. Not even the people who lives with you.

Or else WHAT?

Internet, srs buisness?

Fucking come on!

If you've been found to spread any information they can kick you out of the test.

You need to chill, I know you're mad because you didn't get in, hell there's a lot of narked people but seriously it's not the be-all-end-all.
