Bah, I get a "Strike-thru zero" cursor just hovering over the check box accepting the Alpha Agreement... Assume you scrolled all the way down to the bottom of the AG … otherwise, it won't let you check the box. Well, I was on my laptop - and I had prior to hovering, clicked on the Alpha Agreement link and read it all first. Still showed that strike-thru cursor. Was just able to complete it via phone about 20 minutes ago, argh.

I tried yesterday, and again this morning, but wasn't able get through. I'm sure by this point though they're all full up as the email said it was on a "first come, first served" basis.

Tried visiting the site through the link just now and saw this, guess they’re still recovering from the unanticipated stress test.

Still pending for PC, all four periods.
Apparently they’re giving priority to people they sent emails out to.

Oh, the weight of expectation... I wonder what the acceptance rate of this deluge will be? <5% ? If I get to play, cool. If not I'm not going to burst into a ball of flame over it. Assuming I do get to play the alpha I'll have a way better idea if it's a game I want to spend money on because as it stands I'm not buying it. No you won’t! It’s a limited alpha, you are much more likely to form an incorrect opinion from the problems an alpha will certainly have. Not to mention that you are taking a slot away from someone who wants to help test the game for a successful launch, as in already decided to support the game.

Not to mention that you are taking a slot away from someone who wants to help test the game for a successful launch, as in already decided to support the game. Your typical brilliant rebuttal. Fine, you just afford me the opportunity to explain how galling your action is to me. Have some integrity and stand by your convictions. You’ve said on numerous occasions in this sub that Anthem is probably not the game for you. How does that qualify you as a better alpha tester than someone who likes what they’ve seen? How does that justify you taking a very limited slot away from someone else? It’s incredibly selfish.

Not to mention that you are taking a slot away from someone who wants to help test the game for a successful launch, as in already decided to support the game. To be fair, I think officerdonnz has as much right to 'test' the game as anyone else. You are technically correct that an alpha test has prescribed goals, but if BioWare wanted full control, they would utilize (and pay) QA. How does that qualify you as a better alpha tester than someone who likes what they’ve seen? By inviting the public, a random element is introduced that can identify issues a QA tester may not find.

And there was BioWare hoping they could pull off a low key alpha test without anyone noticing... I don’t know whether that was actual ignorance of how social media works, which seems improbable, or they are playing some deeper game. Of course everyone is going to post the link on Reddit and Twitter and everywhere else. Of course the web site is going to be slammed. They couldn’t possibly be that unaware of the hype they themselves have built around the game. It’s like expecting CDPR to do a limited test of CP77 on the downlow. Which makes me think the server downtime and overload is going to be reported to EA as exceeding some kind of KPI.

Replace “right” with “privilege” and if access wasn’t competitive, I would agree, but it is competitive and limited, and not a right for anyone. For every slot lost to someone who just wants to kick the tires and has done nothing to support the game to date, I have to wonder what excited and interested supporter is missing out on giving useful feedback to help make the game a success. Particularly when the goal of kicking the tires is worst served by an alpha build. Alpha is not the time for skepticism and doubt, and all the concomitant fallout that comes from giving doubters early access.

Alpha is not the time for skepticism and doubt, and all the concomitant fallout that comes from giving doubters early access. You're welcome to your view, but you appear to be requiring a much higher standard of alpha testers than BioWare is itself asking for. The playtest registration process is a rudimentary one, requiring only a few compatibility questions. In any event, I suspect only a fraction of those who registered will be offered a test as it was intended to be limited.

Agree...though I'm not signing up because I don't want to end up turned off on a game I intend to play. Restrictions, inevitable bugs, and balancing issues will only serve to frustrate me...I'd rather not subject myself to that.
