Dev's You better answer!

Sorry, but it doesn't make sense to have only active FFXIV accounts gain access to the applications. None at all.

The game isn't just for you. They didn't redevelop the whole thing simply for you. This was for the global MMO market. So, how on earth would it make sense to lock it to only those masochists who stuck around? Hmm?

The alpha is a version that it's main purpose is stress tests. However, for an alpha, it's in pretty damn good shape and in even greater shape than 1.0's alpha, beta, and release combine. Why would it be a bad thing to kill two bird's with one stone and do stress testing as well as attempting to prove that FFXIV's rebirth is legit to naysayers?

Don't be bringing logic into these forums!!!
