I got in, but get errors when I try to join the tester site:
"You could not log in because the service account in question is not registered.
If you would like to log in to the service, please log in to the Square Enix Account Management System and register the service account."
I assume that's simply because the site doesn't go live until the 2nd? I don't see any mention of the beta under Services on the S-E Account page yet either.
Any newly admitted testers experiencing this?

Why would they call a beta alpha? from what I remember there was four stages. Alpha 1, Alpha2, Beta1 and Beta2. Beta 1 would have new content. From the recent announcement they said nothing about introducing new content in Alpha2. I could be wrong but thats what I have read. They said they would open it up after the server can handle 5,000 users.
I think this is a stupid idea. Why have the most wanted race be only NPC avalible and never have a chance to be one. This is a new game. They created the race and even rendered it in the game. So why not let us play as them??

Not sure if anyone is still interested in making videos with the name edited out, but someone at BG just posted this. Haven't tried it (since i'm not in the Alpha), but I figured it might be worth posting:
^Awesome thanks.
Little update, i got 3 shitty spells at lvl18 (THM) the absorb line (Attack, Defense and TP), attack gave me 10 points on a base of 7, which is huge but didnt do much for my attacks (maybe 10dmg increase), DEF gave me 31 (base was 274) and TP was worthless (between 150-300 gain) because is so easy to get TP in this game. Not even worth casting, in fact only thing worth the mp so far for me are dots and slow (god i love slow).

Yes! I just got a PC invite. The email was labeled as a Beta invite, but says in it that "...testers will be eligible to participate with the beginning of the second stage of the Alpha Test." So happy!
While im happy to hear more invites are going out, Ive yet to recieve one, so I feel a little duped since Ive had an active paying account since NA launch come on S-E send an invite this way plz? :lol
I'd be gutted if it's actually something to do with me signing up using a hotmail account >_<;

I doubt it, i received my invite on my hotmail account. And I never played FF11 so I am not sure how they decide who gets in ; i gave average pc specs, I really didn't expect to get in.

Clearly the way to go, launch an insanely expensive, probably 50++ million dollar MMO on PC only that carries the perceived stigma of FFXI up against The Old Republic and Cataclysm.
It'd be like the aftershock of The Spirits Within.
No, I'm playing on PC, but they need the PS3 crowd, and they'll need the 360 crowd too. Anything else is faux elitism, Square's design goals and scope don't reach PC nuance levels and consolitis or not, the current batch aren't quite as handicapped as the PS2 was moving forward.

Presumably with beta 1 they'll have testing that doesn't go on for more than 4 hours at a time, but no official word (that I'm aware of) stating that explicitly. Would be foolish for them not to test it that way, but this is S-E so who knows!
For reference, there have been at least two tests this week, one yesterday and one today/tonight. June 7th is likely the next one.

I believe they have said that there will be 24/7 testing in the betas. Can't remember if it was beta 1 or 2 though.LaneDS said:
