Also, out of our ancient alpha Accounts none got picked, but completely new accounts got picked for the beta. (But that could be simply bad luck, just mentioning it because 7 alpha accounts didnt get picked but 7 new ones did so there is definately no alpha-account preference)



So I kinda had the completely opposite experience of yours. As did all the people I know that got in.
same experience with friends and others with the VPN. the CBT pickings seem to favor newer people over older accounts seeing as all the ppl i knew who made fresh accounts got selected but their main accounts were ignored. i guess it makes sense since Sega wants to draw in new people but i guess only a few selected older accounts are really needed. idk just my guess
