Maybe they are also looking for a certain group of people?
Happy Timezone, friends
you were in here when I checked in last night too! Allo! 👋🏼
I woke up a few hours ago, checked my email, and went back to sleep 😆
Pls don't consume the tuna mystery flesh
It took about two weeks since the first wave so maybe it'll be a every two week thing if I don't get it
Yeah for those who have enough power in pc and do play enough...
im always around \o/
I keep checking my email but for my work shifts instead
slept 4 hours and im READY
Never have, lol... so glad I haven't... my goto is their steak and cheese 😄
interesting, there was a question on the first survey asking about the amount of RAM your pc has
A happy day as always. Ready for smiles
Yeah there was.
Share some of your energy with me lol
I mean...they can't have people playing on chromebooks lmaoo
nice to see the tie in #📮│public-polls after the war yesterday
i mean, the game will be out on MAC too tho
it was do you have 8GB of ram or more? Which I answered no too, so if you need 8GB of ram I'm not gonna make any testing wave but thats chill
Does someone else want to attend my work meeting for me? All virtual, no cam necessary. Just have to say "All good" when I'm called upon 😂
I'm one of those people who needs at least... hmm... 10 hours, lmao
Be part of the neutrality party to keep it even o7
I slept 4 hours and I was not ready.
some specs were asked on the survey because they wanted to get the game on a variety of systems to be able to easier nail down system specs for the game (min/recommended)
Why do I think that there was options up from 4GB
i built mine so that when cyberpunk came out id be able to play that, so i have a lot of ram lol
1tb?
You ARE decaf after all...
Any food can be mystery flesh if you try hard enough
i can assure you that the specs for palia are low
Yah not every game can be played by every PC. As much as some don't like it, devs have to draw a line in the sand somewhere
I just know people wanted 1 since the first villager vote so y'know. They did say in the #❔│game-faqs or somewhere that the game wasn't for high end specs alone
quite low...
in alphas and betas the games tend to be less optimized, it's just the nature of the beast
what does this mean
Then there are games that can't be played by any PC...
Still!? You all are so dedicated.
Am... am I mystery flesh?
SO EXCITED!!!! Got pre-Alpha!
I mean my laptop runs ffxiv fine... at 12fps. My friends think I'm weird but I don't really notice frames unless there are negative ones
grats!
Congrats!!
nice job!
Congrats!!!
❤️ TYSM everyone, and grats to o all others as well!
congrats!
We don't have specific min spec out yet but so far we're running the game on some pretty garbage PCs.
When did you get the email? 😄
this community is great
Remember when Crisis was the "If you can play this, you're fine" game? lol
Congrats to anyone who has gotten the lucky email.
Well, not anymore
If you were to be cooked at unreasonably high temperatures, mixed with a sufficient amount of mayonnaise and put on a sandwich, then yes
congrats!!
I wonder what they mean by garbage PCs that can be pretty subjective based on the person's standards.
Are invites over?
Definitely true
is there anyone who forgot to do the 2nd questionnaire and still got alpha invite,,? xD
Omg yay! Work out those bugs! ✨
they'll make an announcement when all have been sent out
I only did one lol
would like to say "thank you" but i guess im too unlucky but still congrats to anyone who got it
as long as we have no offical statement, no
Not yet—they said there would be an announcement
seems like not yet
Ah ok!
1200 is a lot of emails to send individually
I'm sure they will have more waves in the future
Yeah definitely, I only got mine just now haha
Hopefully they are taking turns sending them.
That part! Plus all of the discord channel additions needed, right?
really or did you only find it now?
once goes from pre alpha to alpha i recon
Just... DON'T EAT the Soylent Green!
exactly!
well at least we know the team is getting sleep and not losing sleep over the invites. Nel is still offline
the best i can give you is this Here are my home machine specs, I can run a few instances of the game at a time Intel i7-8700 16G RAM GEForce GTX 1080
(in another answer he mentioned more specifically that he was running 3 at once)
yeah, seems once a month
🥺 I just want to play the pretty game
that is not a garbage pc TvT, but thats interesting ... Technically if we divide by 3, we get the minimum
The Announcement says it comes from the email signup as well as the surveys, so some people may get invites without either survey?
Not at all.
That's good news, cause not a lot of ram for gaming, honestly
Nah it literally sent to me at 10:08 ET
Devs if you read this I'm putting my chonker on a diet until you give me an alpha key. Your choice if it stays a chonker or not.
no, but the game was multiboxed
That's from the FAQ right?
yes, i did a search in discord from busco
oh i hope so, i still maybe have a chance 😂 i forgot to check the announcement channel until today lol
i pick the wrong time to wander back into chat, some days
My chonker has been on a diet for months, still a chonker.
Not necessarily, he didn’t say 3 was the upper limit of that PC
running the game 3 times over with those specs gives me hope my laptop would run it, even tho I'm getting a new one soon hopefully
For those waiting to see if they got invited, I did receive my e-mail just an hour and a half ago this morning so I expect it's taking a while to get all of those e-mails out. 🙂
I remember it took them a while (understandably so) last time and that was less than 200! This is gonna take a minute lol. Take your time, devs! 💋
I just searched 'Palia' in my inbox just in case. No invite came up but there was actually a newsletter from mmorpg.com that mentioned them, so that was cool
thats why they said 3 minimum and not 3 maximum ;p edit: i cant read 🤡
they DO read, so...
That’s what I mean. So you can’t arrive at a definitive minimum spec with that statement
yeah i read it wrong and missed a part, i just woke up T.T
Here's mine, lol... I'm probably running one of the beefier builds here...
AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core Processor 3.70 GHz
32GB RAM
GEForce RTX 3070
but we can hope mate, we can hope
when did you get the email, just now?
that build is the absolute DREAM
👀 me with my 6GB of ram and an intel pentium laptop
My freshly built, hot pink gaming PC covered in holographic stickers is so ready for this. 💖
stares lustfully at the gfx card
I just finally upgraded to 16 gigs of ram lolol
thats marginally better than mine .. crosses fingers that mine is good enough i7 4790 24gb GTX 960
until they say in #📢│palia-news that the invites are done being sent, then the invites are still being sent.
I received mine just an hour and a half ago, so e-mails must still be going out. 🙂 Taking a while for them all, I think.
hype
yeah I think thats fine mate that's definitely fine
Hang in there, y'all! ❤️
it took them like 4ish hours for the 200 invites, so the 1200 invites could take over a day or so, patience is key
Remember they can’t do bulk mailings. They have to do it piecemeal, otherwise they can get flagged as spammers. Have patience
holy moly
lmao, thanks guys
I LOVE this PC, glad I took the plunge and got it
Received mine at midnight this morning - they are rolling out! Have patience
mailchimp to the rescue? 😄
Yeah, it's been 5 hours since I got my email, just patiently waiting. 😄
that poor, poor few of them who are having to email us one by one
Did it go to your spam?
why am I getting emails from the new yorker I'm british-
And remember they said the emails will take 24 hours .. the rest of the process could be another day or 2 or longer if they are waiting for responses from the email before proceeding
Promotions, I use gmail too if that helps
it's 100% a bot. Youd have to be smoking crack to be willing to send 1200 emails manually
Mine went in my primary literally twenty minutes ago
Yes! So much to consider!
Mine got filtered to the bin
So I'm at:
Intel Core i7-11700K @ 3.60GHz
RAM 32.0GB
GeForce GTX 1080 Ti
Just gotta win the lotto for a new card 😆
Thank you! ✨
Mine went into my Inbox! (Also Gmail)
oooo, not bad
Im gonna stop stressing and wait until they send an announcement when theyre done
No problem! I hope you get in!! ❤️💕
It does! Thank you, friend!
I got an ok gaming rig. I dropped a good chunk of money on it but it's also been like three years now which is a long time when it comes to computer upgrades haha
Cool cool cool
Those who have gotten invites, what region of the world are you in if you don’t mind saying?
^^ goodluck I hope you get in
Wear your shades to protect your eyes from the sparkles!
Midwest US
Eastern US
I got in and im East Coast US
East Coast!
no key for me 😦
California, US
We've heard from people all over the world for this round
Even my shades have sparkles! 💖✨
there have been a bunch of EUs if that's what you're askin
I have an i7-7700k, Asus 1070, and 16gb of ram. It was a top of the line computer... in 2017 
Aka: whos currently awake to answer
Texas, US
they haven't finished sending out all the emails yet
^
My PC was lagging for the past week and I thought it was a storage issue so I moved a bunch of things around, it was just a Windows update hiding itself and causing problems. 🙃
many from EU got there invite too
That is what I’m wondering, yes
Also TX, USA.
Also Texas 🤔
I'm East Coast US!~
Watching the announcement trailer - again. Cuz I'm a glutton for punishment like this
We love the announcement trailer
figures...
IF i get a key i am from quebec, canada
Oh hey Texas! That’s where I am at too! Fingers crossed!
All that RAM cause some games (cough minecraft cough) are surprisingly thirsty
I had to send back my GeForce rtx 3060 ti because it was artifacting but that was on my desktop, still have laptop
So, has the keys come out yet or no? I just got an email that said I got accepted
the trailer does still make me extra excited when i watch it it just looks so wonderful
minecraft is thirsty? Oh no
@latent violet Keys aren't out yet
Key emails will be separate and probably later
Kitchen sink packs, for sure
I followed email instructions as of about 15m ago but nothing yet
oh ok thx
🔑
okok cool, i also did the NDA but im just wanting to play already LOL
I was totally wrong about when my dentist appt was todat
I know but we must wait for all good things 😁
Hope you didn’t miss it!
ouch, it happens tho
congrats on getting in!
I'm so glad I live within 10 min
@patent dust thank you :3
It is Pre Alpha. What we may play might not be anything close to what the actual game might be like.
for everyone who got a key so far, make sure you read the NDA closely. It is a legally binding document
My guess is they have to wait until the majority of the people who received the email sign the NDA before moving forward
Happy for everyone that made it in!
I've never game tested before so im not fully sure what to expect.
bugs
LOL
Partly offering opinions, partly trying to break stuff
well yes definitely that ahaha
lmao
Good rule of thumb for anything you sign that’s legally binding!
I signed the NDA as well, I'm currently waiting now as well! I can't wait to play and help out where I can
My first pre-alpha testing myself. I've only played Betas before.
Same! I'm excited 👀
Welcome new Palians! 
Any tips from others who've done Pre-Alpha testing?
yeah i've played a couple of betas. Actually I did play minecraft in alpha now that i think about it.
Break the game 🙂
Bahaha. Deal.
if you break something, immediately try to do it again and then write down what you did and what happened :P
^
I think the Devs said no need to actively big hunt but to pay attention when bugs happen
Got it. Keep track of what triggered the bugs.
the more detailed our reporting, the better the game can be fixed!
I was wondering about that, I guess it might be against the NDA but screen recording your play time incase something happens and you can send in the footage to them instead of explaining verbally?
Also .. play as you normally would and note down anything that doesn't look right .. what you did, where you were and what you expected and what happened .. it might be intended but it might also be a bug
Alpha's are buggy as heck and most of the UI is garbage. Be ready for your inventory to suddenly delete it's self or not to be able to log into a char because the server suddenly lost the data >.>
that should be fine as long as you don't send it to someone other than the devs, but you can ask that question to the devs when you get in 🙂
do not get attached to your character lol
That's fair!
I am always willing to help find flaws, I'm good at repetitive tasks xD
basically prepare to play fallout 76 on release
lool
lol so true
or cyberpunk
Trollolol
Typically the game will be available to play for the selected testers during a scheduled time frame. How often that happens depends on where they are in the development process, and what goals they have in mind for that phase. I would be utterly shocked if there server was already perpetually available in this phase of testing, so don't expect to just be able to log in right away if you are accepted.
@worthy rose i never had any bug in F76
Im currently doing testing for my irl job! Its so fun breaking things and documenting it, thats why I am hoping for pre-alpha
Oh my god, you guys. I woke up and checked my email... I made it!!

you must be one of very few lol
Please be careful with info, would hate to see someone lose aloha access due to NDA
Oh ok, I didn't realize this.
@somber crag Yay!!
If I get a key I am putting on my Nancy Drew outfit and magnifying glass to find all of those bugs!
Congrats
WOOOOO!
congrats!!!! see you in game 
gz mate
This PC sponsored by Subway New and Improved
actualTuna.
I mean, how else did you get a 3090 👀 You must got connections zD
Nice!
Omg yay!! Congrats and have fun!!
gonna change my icon to a bug catcher from pokemon
i got an email a few seconds ago.. it was just spam 
Play like normal, do everything you would in a released game, expect tons of bugs, and leave feedback... and just continue the loop! I also try to do things unconventionally just to see if I can ((can I scale these rocks and "skyrim" it and find another way through? ))
Congrats!
Heckin cute.
Can we start calling it the pre-aloha?
Providing feedback on things you did or did not like is of equal or greater importance than bug testing.
Barred from Hawaii 👀
Thank you, thank you!! I appreciate the congratulations. ;-;
that's the only thing for sure, I've been in some great pre-alphas some more and some less bugy but always expect an erase of your character 
palia is hawaii confirmed??
I always just think of playing the game like Josh from LetsGameItOut would lol
thats coral island

omg nda
I am down to call it pre-aloha.
3070, and nope, I got it from Origin PC xD glad I did!
It’s not a bug it’s just a feature
Pre-Aloha.. Yep, that's canon now.
thats bethesda
I didn't either until I got some testing under my belt 
It just works
What have I done
Youre not alone
They already said that our character info wouldn't carry over into release so there's no real advantage to attaching yourself anyways
but theyve already said hello. we in the post-aloha lol
testers should be called "pre-lia"s
This
Reading all of this is just getting me so excited and it's making me keep checking my email
glad i work from home so i'll be available often
Saaame!
nice to see villager-vote still tied
rip my college marching band practices
Speaking of work, gotta go do that stuff now. Sending good vibes to all you waiting on your invites!


My work schedule is pretty flexible so I should be available often but I'm on vacation this upcoming week away from my pc
prealpha testers have fun for me
checks promo folder only sees ad from my college alma mater requesting more donations
The foretold Pre-liaians... The ancient ones who came before...
it's summer, you can practice once the semester starts lol
if i cant have fun myself ill have fun vicariously through you dammit
the emails aren't done yet, hold hope 
we start early august soooo
I work from home but I try to stay focused in the morning and afternoon. I will probably only be available in the evenings.
I kinda hope we get a little pre alpha badge
Good morning Paliantologists. My the day bring you alpha invites or the faith that those that got in will work as hard as you would to help make a great game for us all to enjoy
Nah, no way I'm getting in. I live in Australia, so I already gave up
thankfully semester wise I have plenty of days with only one class
I've been in alpha and beta tests for more years than I care to divulge, but one thing is for sure: There will be multiple character wipes between pre alpha and release. Focus on testing, because you will have to start over more than once!
Omg I was in competitive marching band in high school and we trained DCI style, so I can only imagine the college level! Good luck to you!
Someone from Brazil in the pre alpha?
Thanks! My school is close to bluecoats distance wise, so my guess is we're gonna be pretty intense haha
Omg a bunch of us from my high school mb group went to DCI competitions, so freaking cool
Someone said so last night
I think I'd just enjoy the experience with no expectations, since it's pre-alpha, and provide whatever feedback they request of me.
I'm just fascinated at the idea of watching this thing grow from the bottom up and helping where I can.
same
Valheim has taught me how to start over without remorse. I decided that I was gonna beat it with 0 deaths, and when I died, I took a deep breath, deleted the world and the character, and did it again until I finally did it. With enough boredom, you can do anything. 😁
My dad and I are superfans! My dad was in the bluecoats waaaaay back when so I got that mb blood in me 👀
Hey, I just got accepted into the 2nd wave. When should I expect a download link and access to the tester chat?
Soon™️
when they tell you 🙂
Eventually
theres no way we would know that after all
lowkey jelly, but good for You ^^

Morning/Happy Timezone everyone!
Enjoy your voice lessons today fren 🥰
They were a few hours ago, and I did
Oh, another one of my guild mates got the invite this morning. I'm happy for them, and a little jealous.
Apparently I have a very good classical singing technique which is wild because I haven't been trained
It's okay to be jealous, just don't be bitter. We will all be together soon, even if it's not today. ❤
chin up !
Ooo you sing?
Sorry, I was hesitant to ask since I know so many people want in ( ;ᯅ; ) Sorry
oh nice. my dad sings at my church. ive always been an instrument type (Oboe to be specific)
well...out of the shower and no pleasant surprise. boo
i once had a sound and image teacher ask me very seriously if i was tone deaf lol
Yeah, I want to be a singer :)
I don't have the voice to sing, but I play several instruments. 🙂
no no, please dont take it personally, Im happy and prpud for everyone that got in
Someone from Brazil in the pre alpha?
Rin needs to be in charge of Off Topic Karaoke Night
Yeah, however doesn't seem to be that they're online rn
That’s awesome! Hope it goes well for you 
I have to say, bluecoats were awesome but I still have a cadets hoodie in my closet lmao and I know this isn't Palia related but hey - I don't know any sport that works harder than marching band, so we bout to TEST THE HECK OUT OF THIS GAME
Bard sing for us one day :3
Names I've been called
- Ren
- Ron
expecting more vowels soon
This isn't meant to be passive aggressive or anything I just thought it was funny sorry
Ryn
Tis because of autocorrect
Ran
Just a typo. I have sausage fingers today.
My phone autocorrects to Ron
BETTTT, i'll be on my laptop at a marching event, campus-wide wifi ftw
Run
No worries :)
@warm plover wait did you change your pfp?
Raeioun, and sometimes y
I feel so sorry for you Rim
In Iceland you could be Rjn
🏃♂️
Also yes I changed my profile pic
It's cute! And matches your role color.
I'm so bad at recognizing people (or cats) on discord I just figured out it was you!
Worm
Haha no worries
Sorry for the confusion
Checking my role
wrender that cinematic 
I'll probably change it again once my commission gets done :D
You’ll get an email
It's email this time.
Yup just checking uwu
I don’t think they’ve given out Discord roles to anyone yet, likely that’ll happen once all invites are out
A friend from another game spotted me immediately because of the cat pfp
You get a nice ✨ email ✨
Roles and pfps are what I used as identifiers lol
I imagine some of the people I usually talk to got into the prealpha
So I'll be more lonely here (again)
I'll always have this Yoshi scream GIF as my pfp xD
My name in here is also one of my characters in the other game, so I'm sure that helped a bit
I'm not in but I am interested
@solid pelican hi hayley Williams! Lol
I identify people using profile pics too
specifically the colors i see out of the corner of my eye
cinna is orange and purple for me for excample
yelliah is red and a little bit of blue
Didn't I smuggle myself in that one time
Oi
I still plan to hang out and chat don't worry!
I'm kind of afraid to change my pfp now
I will be pretty active. Literally doing the most menial task for work for like the next two weeks so it’s bittersweet but at least I have time to talk 
Good luck to everyone for Pre-Alpha! Hope everyone is having a swell day!
Yesyes but this time it'll be 5eva
Ahh! Hello trashpapii I was just thinking the other day about how you're the only person to catch my username reference
@solid pelican haha aw! Hells yea 😎
A lot of the prealpha people said they would keep talking but they kinda faded out out of fear they'd leak something that was under NDA
🤷
It's understandable
I didn't realize you got in! Congrats youre like the best candidate i know of

Everyone changes roles, and pfp
Meme of patrick walking up to his house with eyes
"WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?!"
Yeah, I’d imagine it’s hard to jump into a convo about the game, especially if people are speculating about something you know but can’t talk about
Need an NDA sticker...
Yea it would be hard to come in and chat with everyone, being extra cautious about what you say.
Aww thanks! I was waiting till the server calmed down a bit to talk about it lol
Sometimes it's hard to say stuff lol. But you can always tag me to come chat <3
It can be hard to not answer questions sometimes. Especially because we're all pals.
Yeah
It leaves me a little lonely but I get it
LOL
By y'all I gotta werk. Keep doin you y'all 🥰
Congrats!!
@lunar tundra Yay fellow Doctor Who geek!
It’s like going to an Escape Room you’ve already done but with different people and pretending you don’t know the answers
I really need to get to work too. Im just so distracted
I'll meet new friends! (And then they'll be accepted into the real alpha or something)
Shorts are comfy and easyy to wear nod nod
withholding spoilers to those who havent seen that one episode or movie yet
nahhh who needs to work! @inland silo
I'm just glad the game is getting that much closer to launch!
mhm exactly
This IS your work now
I suppose I could change my pfp to a different pic of Rufus and be fine
It’s again the point of this chat is not supposed to be used for off topic, but all we have for on topic is speculations on things that probably are exposed in the game, so testers lose the ability to freely comment in here
Rufuis Hagrid?
One more wave closer! 1200 is like a tsunami.
Oh crap youre right
I just... Want some info of when the launch might be. 😂
wish i had the qualifications to actually work on this 😄
why did my name color change. What do these colors mean im a noobie here haha
You selected a role
The pronoun roles come with colors
Or maybe it's high tide? An open beta or something would be a tsunami.
ooooohhh gotcha
Rip tide?
👋
i did just finally notice the roles channel lmao
Pokemon fan?
Anyway baiiiiii. Work here I come 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
whats the name of the water wave emoji
yeah and also ima be a bug catcher
Bye cinna!
baiiiiiiiiiiiii
I wish I could select the Chapaa Role, but I don't want to lose my pronoun color.
oeehhh Rin, changed Pfp?
Have a good day! 
🌊
Have fun!
Actually same. 🙃
Rufus my neighbourhood cat! He is the king of my post code!
sameee
Off topic best chat 🙏🥳
Yeah I changed to an old commission I got 🐈
This chat is poppin' i like it
I have 3D Modelling skills in blender and 3DS MAX but I'm still a newbie, wish I had the skills to help out S6 too
I wish we could re-arrange roles for that reason.
nice! :3 looks good :3
I still can’t decide between this and the pink 
I’m happy but jealous for my friend she got into the pre-alpha 😭 lol maybe I will make the cut but I’m not getting my hopes up
Greetings Citizens.
Greetings Citizen
I want to learn about 3d modeling. for now i get to enjoy my badge/icon art lol
I need to be working on a commission 😔
I'm supposed to be making art right now too, but the brain isn't co operating
Grats to those who got alpha!
i just wanna sit here and be excited
Can relate as a musician
I’m all art-ed out rn, I’ve been making stuff consistently for the past couple days and I’m exhausted
cant relate since i have no talent
I am getting very tired of reading "No messages matched your search. Try using search options such as sender, date, size and more." 
I hope everyone's having a good morning/afternoon/evening. 
Waiting definitely makes me anxious haha
i dont have the option to get art burnt out its my job. gotta keep at it anyhow haha
No messages matched your search. Try using search options such as sender, date, size and more.
Evil.
No messages matched your search. Try using search options such as sender, date, size and more.
That's it Rin, we are going down together 😂
I hope we get some gameplay footage soon 👀 I'm eager to consume anything we get though to be honest HAHA
that would be nice..
Does this throw people off a little? x3
I R confused!
oh its you ana
well, its nice to see that there is atleast a game that is different in the making. instead of all the copy paste shit we are getting these days.
MMO land be grim these days
we're being pranked and it's actually just call of duty 4 version 3
that would be living hell
That would be unfortunate
woke up to a nice email today 
O want To play 😂😂

I just think it's refreshing to see game devs starting to look at the gaps in the market rather than what already 'works' (aka what's already over saturated)
There's a couple of indie projects going on right now like that and they all seem super promising with how they interact with and listen to their audiences
Congrats LilGoose!
I think my strategy of passing the time waiting for this by not looking at it is going to hurt me in the long run since i have no discord activity lol
i woke up to a very nice mail too..... one that said i have to pay my bills ;-;...
That wasn't a factor in this round of chosing! Developers said so in their announcement message. ❤️
I don’t think so
yea i wasnt very active in this server and I still got it, so its def not a factor
I believe the intern who sends out the mails accidentally skipped my name on the list
totally agree. It doesn't really fit into any of the molds most MMOs end up in. It'll hopefully be one of those groundbreaking titles where people relate games that come after to it, rather than relate it to other games in the sense that people relate animal crossing to harvest moon.
Same w my hogwarts letter tbh
Refugees from other companies coming together to restore our faith in the gaming industry... it's beautiful!
I am really most curious to see how "MMO" this game feels
bitcoin scams, volvo, Uber... nope, no key 
A few people, myself included, said n0thing and got one, so don't lose hope!
"Apparently theres a prince in nigeria who needs my help!"
MMO only means there are hundreds to thousands of people playing at once.
I've been very similar. I was pretty active before the first round, but I've mostly been keeping up with the villager vote and developer news. I'm not an artist and I'm not big on speculation, so my activity a
Has been way down, hahaha
I also wasn’t super active and got an email last night at midnight. I’ve been in discord since I signed up but didn’t talk much.
tell them they've made a mistake and they'll have to go back and fix it
yea i only said like, 1 thing i think 😆
||I'm being selfish here but I would've liked it if activity was still a factor||
when do we get to test it? so far only got the email nd dont think i saw any date on it
So for it to feel MMO I am guessing you mean in the sense of contemporary MMORPGs.
there is a lot of people, and the devs would want some who are hardcore gaming fans and others who are more casual, it is more than likely that it was random select of a variety of types of gamers and activity levels! And they understand not everyone has something to say when there isn't a full game to discuss yet!
I agree.
i think they didnt skip only your name, theres probably about 80k+ people that feel the same X'DDD
activity is a factor I believe, just a small one

I would've liked if your name being Inari was a factor
No i more mean if it will feel like a large world that you can carve a part out for yourself, or if it will be more like a multiplayer stardew
Ah yes I agree.
I wanted to play Palia but instead I get to play "Pay-lia the bills"
Inari is a great name btw 
yeah im curious if there will be like... little neighborhoods? or how that would work.
It is!
i guess i dont get to be reborn into a new mmo world just yet this time =u= ill have to be patient
Activity being a major factor into acceptance would end resulting in folks talking to the community just with that goal in mind, and if they ended up getting in, some folks may end up stopping said activity. I don't know exactly what S6 looks for in invites, but having activity as a major factor would definitely make me glare eyes.
For sure, pesky real life
Nice we're back to 10s slowmode btw
Hey it's ya boy Troopinari
Sup, mods. ❤️
I didn't say a major factor. Just a factor.
instead of combat you just drive other players into poverty
xD
Inari reminds me of Inori, and I get sad at the end of GC all over again. 
All the mods are here 
I know Rin, I dont know what S6 has in mind for invites
So EVE online mixed with real life lol
Also, as they add more and more people in, it's just a lot of extra work just seeing who's active
monopoly simulator
GC?
:D
but this time, farming
Whirly in chat poggers
I could've sworn I heard them say it was a small factor in the first round, but not a be-all end-all
Whirly is my favorite
gamecube!
gm whirly
Guilty Crown
Whirly, can I DM you a really quick question?
UR MY FAVORITE
That's where my mind went.
yus anner!
Is it just me, or is the weather outside looking like a...Storm Trooper?
Yeah, they did, but apparently not for this one
That's what I'm talking about
But it's not that important, I'm just being selfish here since I talk a lot and want to see the people I talk to a lot get in
Whirls!
Fun fact: no matter what emoji Whirly uses I see it as his pfp
loool omg
Wow I'm not Whirly's favorite? cancelled
I wish. It's 36 Celsius (97 Fahrenheit) rn
I'll help you TP his house
I live in Spain but the S is silent. hahaaa
True
Oh, Trooper is in Spain but got to be a prealpha tester... I'll note that down
Felt that
dont worry, you are still the best cat in palia :P
I'm actually from Romania
Ahhh I was going to say I loved visiting Spain
Hello! I’ve been here for a minute but never in chat. Im super excited for this game and happy to see that so many others are too!
Chat calm down since yesterday? Or still crazy lol
Silentpain?
Yes
I hope I didn't accidentally delete an email yesterday before I saw the post 😒 I usually just hit empty junk folder without looking in it
So, for the record, is it pronounced:
Pay-lia
Pah-lia
Or Puh-LEE-uh?
Definitely a bit calmer, and with less of a slow mode too!
Listen I'll write it down as long as you live somewhere that's not America
Helloo
I've heard pay lia
Pay-Lee-ah
Pay-lia, from the official Twitter
Would be a modern tragedy
I call it Pah-lia but I don't actually know 🤷♂️
Oh no Tiki! If it makes you feel any better mine came straight to my email. I have gmail.
Well crap I've been pronouncing it Pah Lia
Hiiiii Whirly!
so villager vote is still a draw...
they pronounced it pay-lia on the live stream
We are trying to keep it that way :)
Thank you, magical Rin! (Bloody autocorrect conspires against you)
We've managed to keep the village vote a draw?! This whole time?!
🏃♂️
the power of us
Yesss. It’s actually kind of exciting.
Consider me thoroughly impressed, LOL. We love to see it.
We need more people to vote for ❓
heyyy dont copy me
WHY DID YOU GET A THUMBS UP AND I DIDNT D:
I thought you guys were joking because it's just one character but omg it is ACTUALLY a draw
Howdy! A question re: keys-- are alpha testers still able to play after the next wave starts or is it a limited time test?
It's okay, I gave you a thumbs up. ❤️
It used to be exactly the same for both
Keep the vote #📮│public-polls
I changed my vote last night from 1️⃣ to ❓ thanks to this chat
we gotchu
(also woah, i forgot how speedy & chaotic this chat is)
Vote for ❓
So far Offal alone has managed to call me Ron and Run
Will they catch all the vowels? Find out next time
Keep the vote tied
lol Rin
Yesssss we’re tied now
I’m captivated by the show 
how are you guys keeping it so perfectly even
I feel better now
for 12+ hrs
I voted to help keep it tied
wait but i kind of want to see the character on the pic. i feel bad for them, this is the second villager vote group theyve been on and not voted for
Thanos secret team member
Pretty sure it's through Mass Conspiracy.
never underestimate the power of mass idiots >:D
You underestimate how much we can care about insignificant things
is it mass conspiracy or mass idiots
Group effort lol
Remove my vote for ❓ NOW ITS EVEN
Perfectly even, as all things should be
Offal's phone did it! 😆
They’re the same thing
perfectly balanced, like all things should be.
Ah right Offal's phone that hates me ;w;
I'm more impressed that whirly has been keeping tabs on it for 12+hours.. Go to sleep whirly!
lol i did sleep!! :D
I'm due for an upgrade. Perhaps the phone has forgotten HOW EASILY IT CAN BE REPLACED
Sleep is overrated. 

We are concerned. Also, thank you to all moderators. You're all gems!
😏 <- Me when I realize i can delete reactions
S T O P (don't stop)
I will call the police
lol
monka
🐒
lmao
Hey, you quit it
monkrie
Bad Trooper 
Wait what does the question mark vote mean 🤔
Yo
no idea
Btw what happened to Mr. Number 1 from last vote?
Put down the knife, Trooper.... put it down...
I may have to rescind my comment about mods
dont put down the knife c:
i dont have any email yet xO
maybe they feel bad for 2 like i do lol since this is their second group of villagers to be in and not voted for
That's it, i am going to humbly invite myself to pre-alpha, i will not be sending myself the email
No love for Mr Number 2 from the first vote aswell...
Ashuraaaaa we love youuu!
Trooper is out for CHAOS
Send me an email and I'll send you one
my little heart
TROOPER NO! don't let the dark side tempt you! D:
trooper is a sith lord
Trooper, pick up more knives
did you misplace letters? 
Hi Dad
Eesh, no need to be mean to Trooper, man.
Eeekk! 
Who disturbed the balance of the Villager Vote!? I don't have the power to correct such maddness myself.
I came here from time to time, and evertime i don't undestand the conversation 
balance restored
same same
Seem to be a lot of new people compared to how it usually is here, how is everyone?
sleepy
It's not stable, I repeat: ITS NOT STABLE
omgggg I just received the key to test the pre alpha aaaaaa 
Well now it's just Chaos again, but that's better? Probably.
congratulations!
You’re right, there are. Welcome everyone!
I'mma guess it's because the next wave of pre-alpha testers are being selected. All the hype, y'know.
wait!! the key or the invite????? 😮
Mhm, it’ll probably still calm down a bit
Same same same
Sounds about right, hope ur doing good 🙂
Ye, I'd expect that! But it's nice to see everyone all excited. ❤️
pre-alpha testers are cringe, I only play fully completed games like Full Tilt! Space Pinball
Congrats!

I am, thanks! Hope you're doing well, too. 
I keep getting east side marios promos in my spam F
the invite lmao confused myself for a bit
So i got powers where if I stare into my gmail account it will send emails \
Congrats Bivar!
i started refreshing my email so fast lmaoooo
gratzzz
Is the second wave finished?
not yet
thanks guyss
they would send out a notice when finished
They will announce when they are all send out
still waiting for Nel to log on
i was having an absolutely anxiety riddled morning and then i got a pre-alpha invite and i think that i can now transcend this mortal coil and become one with the cozy
got another email from amazon. this is slowly killing me inside
f5 f5 f5 f5 f5 f5
I don't think so, I read days ago that they would start the second wave and I just got mine today
Am I the only one that checks two emails because I forgot which one I put in? 
Lmao, you got me and several others refreshing emails frantically xD
I got mine lastnight, they’ll send an announcement letting everyone know the second wave is over :]
Okay, I still have a chance! 
balance is off muah hahaha
One day we will all play together 
Im pretty sure im not getting an invite at this point 😭 gut feeling
GMorningh
Heyo
Same here 
Gotta have hope! Just preach to the Chuu gods 
there's still hope for you all!!!!
Don't give up yet!
fixed
I gave up the moment I decided to get out of bed.
Dear Chuu gods, please bless all of us peasants waiting for an invite to your peaceful world. Amen
Last night I was sad. But I found the email in my junk folder this morning. :o
I'm still holding out hope as well, but just remember it's 1200 out of several hundred thousand applications they got. It'll be basically winning a small lottery if you get it at this point
Yikes.
me everyday lmao
Amen
Who wants to be on the pre-alpha selection bingo card? People who received their email need not apply
MOOD
Chuu is a false god. Pray to Chapaa for forgiveness
I got an invite but I haven't gotten the alpha key yet. Just the NDA signing thing.
Me
So be sure to check your junk folders. Outlook doesn’t like the emails.
So praise to the Chuu gods? XD
i think all 😄
Alright, gotta go for a run. See y’all after!
Yeah probably need to wait a little bit for the key
Have a nice run! 
Not even gotten an invite haha, just gotta hope, and if not, I'll be playing when game comes out 
I imagine there will be additional emails once all the invites are out.
do we know how many waves there will be?
Still hoping for the Gmail icon to pop up 
Dear god may they mess up and invite 12000 instead of 1200 
I don't think I've checked my email this much in one day... Ever..
They still need to get us our pre alpha roles too, so excited
Trying not to get my hopes up, but can't help checking my mail all the time... promised myself I can preorder sims cottage living if I won't get an pre alpha mail...
this is probably the last prealpha wave
okay that's what i was thinking
I didn't think it'd come to this
same here!
I'm hoping for both!
i will bring in my friends and ask them to ruin the balance
since they said about 1200-1400 would be selected
probably looking at over a month or more after this wave before alpha invites come
wishful thinking
After that, it's Alpha waves :3
if you don’t get the prealpha I’d love to hear about the sims whenever it comes out I’ve been dying to play that pack!!
I hope, anyway
I'm guessing alpha invites will be up to like 20 thousand or so but it's just a hunch
I'm super excited for that expansion!! At least that gives you something to look forward to, but keep your chin up.
I just pre-ordered the pack myself, and I'm pumped.
Just imagine, you might not get the email, but somewhere, in an alternate universe YOU ARE playing in the Pre Alpha.
You could be a benevolent overlord and let us remain united in the balance!
check out paralives, it's a long way off but looks SOOO GOOD already
Ello boys and gurls
Me too, think I will buy it anyway😁 Let you know!
Stop right there criminal scum! You've violated the law. Upseptim now or serve your sentence
Not the pebbles..
a fellow disrupter. i appreciate you greatly
Have all my pebbles
I like my pebbles they are pretty lol
Pls disturb it in favor of Ashura
Today, Trooper has chosen the bees.
you watched Loki recently didnt you? 😄
No.. just no.
When you work in QA irl but you don’t get a key, feelsbadman lol
Hold the line!
'Sup, SameDude!
never took trooper for the chaotic type
Supp booty anne
Nope! I refuse to pay Disney I'm signed up to enough streaming services!
It must be nice to have a choice like that
I wonder how many will be able to be in one neighbourhood
I NEEDS TO GET IN THE PRE ALPHA
Join the club lol
And so he went anf got a disney+. They all lived happily ever after.
Hello 🙂
guys nel saw the villager vote tie
Psst S6 I have cookies flashes cookie .. my inbox looking pretty barren wink wink
haha gotcha. I feel ya on the too many services xD
Oop
The 2nd wave should be finishing or is finished, if you haven't got an email good luck next time. 
im bout to cry lol
Disney portrays a very warped view of happiness 😅
there will be an announcement when its done
They will announce when they are done
yeap
Yeah there hasnt been a anouncment
im not making assumptions until i see that post xD
How can balance and chaos co-exist?
a balance of chaos?
But yeah if you havent got it now then dont get your hopes up
low chance but still not impossible for people to still get emails
general chat rules
Yo my name is there, that ain't getting crossed of in this speed 
Embeds, more like emBADS
True true..
Everyone got the email already ?
wave 2 emails arent over until they post that its over so keep your head high
D:<
^
Not done yet 
until they say the wave is finished, the wave is not finished.
So is this wave of invites also going to be based on Discord contribution as well? :(
Just had an Email!.. oh wait no that's a windows update.
hshshshs
...maybe i should apologize to the Chapaa gods...
no
Based off emails in the surveys
fortunately, the invites are not based on discord contribution 
Ahh thank you all :D I can keep my fingers crossed then 😆
good luck!
to be clear, the first wave had a factor of creative contribution. it was not the only factor, and it did not depend on how active you were, just what you did when you were active
I was throwing conspiracy theories around in the first 200 invites about discord activity.. I foresaw this timeline.
omg i just got an invite omg omg thanks devs! i wish the best of luck to all people here. You all deserve it, may the luck be with you 😄
the false prophet!
I got an email about 30 minutes ago ☺️
Lucky ducky. Id love to get one
congrats guys!
eeeeeyyy congrats yall!
Cars extended warranty? Yeah I get them.
Congrats!!

I got 5 mails in total, but no THE email
rushes to PC
Also, as someone that got an email this morning... I was reminded that time zones exist, so even after you sign the NDA and stuff... it's likely it'll take a minute before you get your role. ❤️ Just as a heads up. My excitement and eagerness ruled out all logic, and I forgot I'm living in the future compared to the west coast.
i got 9 mails so far today, maybe the tenth is THE mail
You got in wooo so exited for you, congratz
it might be the eleventh
@fallen sun Any names been crossed on the bingo card so far? 
another email...from crate & barrel...
hype hype hype, but remain calm, but hype!
sees empty inbox

@somber crag I know 😅 I was so excited too
Just an FYI I haven’t been very active in this discord and got an invite for anyone wondering
Awh, thanks! ❤️ I'm excited, too.
im calmly hyping!
LOL, yeeeeah... I need to practice my patience, really.
Nope, nothing :(
Same =p
At least I get to play pre alpha this game, I don't get alphas very often
I got the email this morning but I also have to work so I am turning these excited shaking hands into productivity to distract me
congrats yall! we'll talk real soon 
✨sending luck to all of your inboxes✨
i cant accomplish this bc im sitting here on discord AT work 
Same, except I haven't received an email yet T^T
Aw heck, well to be fair I may be typing a thousand words a minute but they are all spelled wrong
Good Morning pals! Congrats to everyone who got an email! So excited to meet everyone. Also if you’re still waiting, try not to worry yet. They told us they would announce it when they are all sent! 
I think i managed to pick a list of people who confirmed they havent seen an email yet.
Well, except for one
hiii mushyyy
i feel this when im responding to customers on my work tickets xD
I have not gotten a mail either (yet?), but that's okay 🙂

Smoke signals
Carrier pigeon
A Pebble.. nice
Wave #4: Note carried on an owl?
Message in a bottle. Gotta hunt around on your nearest beach to find it.
Wave #4: singing telegram
Luckily I live on an island lol
ive been informed a new panda has arrived >.>
heh
We have the same mind…
Why would anyone want to shoot the singing telegram? Her singing wasn't that bad.
Wave 5: a guy on a roof waving at you
wave 6:telepathy, possibly accompaanied by visual hallucinations
Wave #6: Card that when opened plays a jingle
There seem to be lots of pandas here
wave 7: requires a covid test
yes, must be patient 🙂
THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE
Ask your doctor if ESPmail is right for you
wave 9: whoops, we forgot a wave
I'm not convinced pandas are real
Wave 8 - Elaborate firework display with each firework showing a letter of the key
Wave #7: Consult the bones
Hi everyone, Congratulations to the people who got an email, so lucky!!
If I see another panda, I shall advise that they leave
And hope no brownies show up
Wave 10: 👋
Wave #10: Must own a timepad or tardis to travel to the beta
Grats to all testers! Hope you all help shape the game into the best version it can be.

Congratz!
Are no more applications reviewed? 😢
Wave 11: I'm sorry, you are a variant from the sacred timeline
Wave #11 Finds infinity stones... and snaps fingers for a better chance at invites?
TARDIS wanted
Does anyone know if people from outside of NA can get an invite? Just wondering if I should get my hope up or not
guys...nel is online
I have been waiting for an email but nothing 😭
Wave #12: Get pruned into the test
Looking forward to read your first hand experiences on the game!! oh so excited for you guys, is that weird? hahahaha
Still blows my mind the devs weere expecting a few hundred or thousand just for their expectations to be blown out of proportions
Hopefully soon, I think they will do more eventually
Wave 13: must find all horcruxes
Does anyone know what regions they sent the invites?
I remember seeing someone from Brazil saying they got an invite yesterday
I’m in the US Central
Just got an email. I have been chosen

Iirc last night I saw someone outside the US get invited.
Wave #14: merge two holocrons together
Heyhey
sith and jedi??
Well my hopes aren't up, cause you know... Second survey 🤦🏼♀️😅
I'm in the US (east coast) and got mine at 8 this morning
Congrats 
DIVA OMG WE GET TO PLAY TOGETHER
Right? Happy to see it though, really hoping it reasonably lives up to expectations. Has the potential to be so good
yes. Maul demands this
Yessssss
I only did one of two 🤡
Obi might object
@cold mesa 
Thank you @pastel canyon and @merry crater
Exactly. Me too 🤦🏼♀️👎😅
Wave 42: Dolphins
Wave #15: Write peace treaty between cats and dogs
Kanan does too but no one can hear him in space
yess it was me
SO LONG and thanks for all the fish!
Still... no invite.. And I haven't gotten any sleep..
It’s exciting seeing people i know get in!
don't give up just yet guys 🙂
Someone from EU got email?
yes
So I'm really stoked to see how many female-identifying folks are going to playing pre-alpha so far! 
I did both surveys, hopefully I hear something, if not ill be sad, but its okay!
ooof. high ground it is then
Plenty.
Soooo, are there any neighbourhoods cropping up that I can join or is it too early to plan for that? 😁
Might have done a Rebels rewatch recently... yes high ground it is
I just want to see some sort of gameplay before I get myself too much hyped regarding the game. I can personally be picky a bit when it comes to mmo's, this game seems promising, but still
There are quite a few people planning neighborhood groups, from what I can see! I don't think it's too early.
nice! spending some time in a SWG emulator while waiting for this lol
Females do seem to have the more compelling surveys it seems.
both? isn't there only one? on the website when you sign up? im confuse..i dont think i did it right then...lol
Just got an email!😊
would be awesome to get into the pre alpha. im excited 😍
Nope there was 2
congrats!
I wrote them a 5 paragraph essay for mine HAHA
Congrats owl!
there was one initially before you join and a second one they sent us which was more indepth!
was it even a question in the survey to state if you were female or male? XD
That's great, I'd love to join one if there are any here rn.
Been playing SWTOR to itch the mmo need. Been meaning to get the emulator for SWG
me refreshing every 2 minutes
congrats everyone 🙂
Join [DAD], we're heating up the grill this aftern...MICHAEL STOP HITTING YOUR SISTER WITH A WIFFLE BAT
I can’t wait to meet everyone 😭
ive got my emulator for swg, its so good to play again!
get legends. swgemu is nice because it is pre cu, but there are more people on legends
i wrote a fat post myself but i doubt they read it all xD
@sour ginkgo Congrats!
I love the crafting in that game
🤣
same!
I hope I can make some new friends in the pre-alpha 🥺
ohhhhhhh i see...
If you need I should have the files on a google drive that you'll need to install for an emulator. It's a bunch of fun for sure
New friends are always nice 🙂
Anyone on a swg emu, send me a dm and we can meet up if we are on the same one!
ill hit you up if i cant find it
Got my email at 10:08am , I'm est
It’s a pretty small group of people so I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re tight knit!
You son of a Witch, I'm in
I think there will be no shortage of friends to discover!
@buoyant heath you made a [DAD] neighbourhood?
I got mine at 5:08am EST, LOL.
Always looking for new friends. Can’t wait to play with you all

I’m super late but yooo I got in
SWG .... now that's a game i've not heard of in a long time ....
Mine was 308 pdt lol
Mine was at 5:08pm east
Mine was 25:61 GMT+8
if you haven’t got your email yet. don’t stress just yet. Nel said she would notify us when all emails have been sent! 
Actually, no, I've been avoiding any neighborhood stuff until the game is closer
SWG emulator...let's make a Chuu guild!
❓
Im super excited
do you think that we get an invite now when we havent got one alrdy?
I received mine at 12:08AM EST.
it means i didnt get one
I still have hope to be in 
What? You don't want to be part of my pack? I'm hurt! 😩
Honestly same but it is tempting!
Nooooooooooo!
still praying for an inv
Club NPA 
bummer but I've already done my share of being sad so I'm quite done with that emotion
besides, the chance was small anyway
Invites are being sent out via email and are still being given
