As Susurrus said, and Ben Dean confirmed on Discord following the initial announcement, this does not mean that official Alpha has begun. The game is still considered Pre-Alpha. Pre-Alpha pledges will continue to get 24/7 access to the testing server, and Alpha pledges will get access to the Pre-Alpha server in limited 24 hour sessions as VR sees necessary.
I don't think the date of the first 24 hour session has been chosen yet. December 1st is when the verbal NDA is dropped. "Sometime in December" is when the first 24 hour session will be that Alpha pledgers will get an invite in (which is not the same thing as Alpha starting).
Hope that helps :)

Why do we need a 24 hour session? is this a truth test to see if it is being developed or what? Alpha is a stress tester, find major bugs and in 24 hours we are not going to get that unless it is for an announced stress test.
Would be nice to have a Dev chime in on this, for sure.
No games, i am getting too old for failures.

Yes, the Adviser's Pledge gets you access.
You'll get an invite to a 24-hour session of pre-alpha, and other invites on future dates. The date of the invite hasn't been decided yet, They'll post on the forums about the invites going out, as well as you receiving an email.

The Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen alpha test session will be happening on Saturday, December 16th, starting at 10AM PST and will run for approximately 24 hours. Emails will be going out next week with instructions and the game download link. All alpha-eligible pledges will be invited to participate https://discord.com/channels/187566182084116480/739011851341398126/1180202586901586021 I give up trying to fix the formatting on this post.
