I Got A Beta Invite!

[Zehira]

I got that same e-mail, and my hopes were quickly dashed as well. Oh SE, why must you troll us so?!

Mmhm. That's good to know. You all are excited about my amazing game.

My apologies for trolling but I still love all players! (laughs)

Let me introduce you to the word: MAY

"you MAY not have the right email address set up for your beta invite."

I am a computer scientist so I don't think they assumed that they MAY not have the right email address even if they didn't get one but okay. If I recall correctly, when you applied for BETA they asked you for your e-mail address, didn't they?

I didn't apply for beta because Legacy people don't need to apply. I know that as an account holder, they have my e-mail on file. They probably just send out newsletters to people who have or had accounts. I still get XI newsletters and I deactivated my account YEARS ago. Now, I never participated in Alpha for 1.0, but when I applied for 1.0 beta, I can't remember if had to enter an e-mail. I would imagine so otherwise, how would they contact me if I got in?

You are correct, Legacy members don't need to sign up for BETA (but they need if they want a PS3 version.) I believe that BETA sign-up is only for people who don't have an account for FFXIV can create a free-to-try account. Those newsletters we got today is supposed to let XI players know they can sign up for that without having FFXIV.

E-mail can send you a link to the new beta forums (login required) you download a BETA client from there.

Edit: I can't explain enough because this is the first MMO in the world SE has decided to redo all over again. lol
