We have recently begun sending notification e-mails to players accepted as alpha testers for FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn. For those who do not receive an acceptance notification this time, fear not! There will be need to fortify our ranks as time goes on, so your chance to take up arms in battle may come yet.
With this posted like 6 hours+ ago we can assume that it ended for today, and there is no reason to send more invites tomorrow. They won't start looking the aplications that has been submited and writting one by one mail today, SE knew and got the invitation ready and send it on the morning.

Since SE sent a lot of invitation to the alpha they will see who will get online on weds, thurs and friday and check if the server can handle it and then next week if everything goes well will send more.
