With the eagerly anticipated FINAL FANTASY XIV drawing ever nearer its beta test phase, we are excited to announce that we will be conducting a closed alpha test—exclusive to our loyal FINAL FANTASY XI users!
Those who have been selected as beta testers can expect to receive further information starting from Monday, March 1.
* The tester website is scheduled to go live on Thursday, March 11.

Those who were not selected in this drawing, fear not, for there will be other opportunities to come. Be sure to stay tuned!
Apparently the first wave of invites has already been sent out, so check your emails!

From the people who have gotten in so far, it looks like only people with currently *active* ffxi accounts have gotten into the alpha testing. I'm sure the beta testing will be much broader, so I'm still hopeful.
