Mike was correct.
I just got this letter in the mail now, here is the google translate of bits of it which appear to be relevent. It seems ANYone who signed up for the alpha trial gets this, so it should be common amongst PSOW users. But if you were not able to sign up, you would still like to know. This is a combo of google & my own attempting to clarify the word order.
"Hello friends!

Notice the date it was decided α test winner at last! "
"Also, everyone submitted to the registration lottery to participate in testing of α,
We offer exclusive wallpapers Merumaga rice gratitude!

everyone who entered this thing gets wallpaper regardless of if you're in or not*
"Winners announced via email june 24th"
MORE winners will be announced so even if you don't get in right away you still could later.
"We are going to post some pix on the official site so watch it closely"
Opinion:
Excellent news. Especially the 'adding more alpha participants' as time goes on. A lot of the usa/non native entries are probably very 'iffy looking' if they are running human checks over the entries not just machine/randomize picking them out of a hat. The more people in this thing the better. Them throwing everyone a bone with more pic / vid content over at the official site is great/should keep the news more active for it. 2nd planet with its own tiny moon on horizon is rather pretty/interesting addition (do we get to go there? & etc). Does the grass seem rather low -rez?
Insta-Edit:
They DID post new pics on the site already. Go and see
