Ain't that just too bad. They did mention though, that they are gonna be inviting people from all over the globe. There were probably more active players in FF XIV than there are slots for the alpha test. It's to be expected that everyone won't get in on this phase, but they will gradually send out more invites as they said. Really not a reason to get all butt hurt. Also, who knows.. they might have added people from the 1.0's alpha that actually gave some good feedback.
