How did you get the alpha?

Signed up via the link on the first post. A few days later I got an email welcoming me to the program with instructions on how to get online and flying.

OK cool

signed up

Spill some beans on gameplay?

Are we under NDA? I am in the global alpha but I don't remember anything about an NDA. I will check and see.
I will say it's looking good.

This is the World of Warplanes non-disclosure agreement you agreed to when you applied for Alpha.

One notable excerpt:
"The USER acknowledges and agrees that the USER’s breach of any provision of this Agreement and/or any unauthorized use of the Confidential Information will cause irreparable harm, damage and loss to the WN, and that the WN may seek preliminary and permanent injunctive relief against the breach or threatened breach by the USER of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedies which may be available, including, without limitation, claim for damages and permanent ban of all USER’s accounts in Wargaming.net LLP games and services."

Do not spill any beans - I don't want to have to clean up the mess.

I would like to say thank you for participating in the Alpha and helping make what looks like a very promising game! I'm excited to see developers using alpha and beta testing protocols to improve their products: I only hope they take your input and feedback seriously.
