Didn't get an Alpha Invite? Cheer up!

I bet they used the same RNG calculator than Ifrits loot pool.

Only, in this case there are rather strong elements that could make them more justified than usual.

I feel the other pluses for Legacy accounts more than make up for it.
But that's just me. I can't speak for everyone.

That's a rather separate issue and doesn't justify placing a rule and then breaking it (if the allegations are true, and if they aren't, all they have to do is denyong them). Also, not everyone that has an active account has legacy status. People tend to confuse the two things as one and the same, but they aren't.

Because those that didn't have the patience to stick with the game will have the patience to test the new one properly instead of just rushing through what content there is and then quitting again, right?

Thats always a risk a company takes with outsourced testing like this. The best they can hope for is for those people to speak there minds before they set the bar doors swinging on there exit.

Which is why you normally try your best to invite those that have enough patience and time to test properly. Mind you, as the seething negativity on this forum demonstrates, it's rather obvious that the current community of active accounts isn't exactly prone to be overly forgiving of mistakes.

In any case, once they stated that only active accounts were eligible, they should have stuck by that rule. That, of course, assuming but not conceding that the allegations about it are true, of which I have yet to see any conclusive evidence (while the deletion of the related thread kind of looks rather bad).

Which thread got deleted? i still see 4 of them around... my guess is only people with the perfect spec SE set got in i7 and all that jazz

Getting in closed beta is pretty much a crap shoot to get in just as much as alpha is. But at this point they usually give keys to websites to give away but often those keys are gated behind having some kind of preimum sub on the site, but some sties gave them away free if I remember correctly.

It won't be until open beta where anyone who wants to get in can. Open beta won't be until like a couple weeks before the game is ready to launch.

Maybe it's because those of us who have been active players are at a greater risk to spill some beans to the community because we're overly excited about alpha and need to tell someone.

[Yucie]

Kinda silly that a lot of people who have stuck around for this long didn't get into the final Alpha phase.

Oh well, there's always next time.
