Regarding the legacy campaign announcement- New deadline?

You will have enough time if it's before june 30th that you start buying. It's the cutoff because past that point there is less than 3 months to 2.0 so it wouldn't be possible to buy 3 months. You could still buy 2 or 1 in that time.

Still, this is the nail in the coffin for my friend. He was hoping to buy the 90 days closer to the release of 2.0 because right now he can't spare the cash. Now it's going to be a missed oppertunity.

I hope they at least offer a 'basic' plan that only gives you 1 character slot on 1 server as it is right now, for the $9.99.

You will need to pay a further 30 days of subscription before the start of the version 2.0 beta test to be able to fulfill the requirements needed to qualify for the Legacy Campaign.

I don't see what is so "lol" about it. Or do we lack understanding on what cumulative means?

this doesnt explain my situation, well not my situation my friends.
i just got 2 of my friends to start playing this month, maybe a week and a half ago. im guessing there still on their free trial
will they still be able to become legacy members if they subscribe for 90 days now?
you almost explained it by saying if you started in may but then you stoped there. what about us, what about anyone who wanted to start playing today, would they be able to just instantly subscribe for 90 days and be legacy members?
also i'd just like to point out that this is alittle dumb how we have these questions now because there was no difinitive time we should have been looking out for.
until the 2.0 beta is not enough info to know how much longer we have. if we would have just got an estimated month then alot of people wouldnt have this problem.

It's not possible to qualify for the legacy campaign if their account was created after may 31st. That was the cut off date for creating new accounts and still qualifying. So if they created their accounts within the last 2 weeks, they cannot become legacy members.

What I'm hoping personally is that they add a 'basic' subscription level that keeps the 1 character slot 2 retainers only we have right now, for the $9.99 price. That's not too unreasonable I don't think.

If you did not register your copy of the game by May 31, you get nothing. The announcement regarding that date was made a while back and is still visible on the Lodestone front page (scroll down).

My response to another thread that may help:

I have paid for 90 cumulative days of subscription since the start of billing (SINCE NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2011); does that mean I qualify for the Legacy campaign?
Yes. You can confirm your Legacy status using one of three methods:

We will periodically send out notification emails to those that qualify for the Legacy campaign.
The Legacy logo will be displayed when logging into the Square Enix Account Management System and visiting the "FINAL FANTASY XIV" service account section found within the "Select Service" menu.
The Legacy logo will be displayed in the upper left corner of the Character Select screen when logging into the game.

I've paid for 30 cumulative days of subscription since the start of billing (SINCE NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2011), what do I need to do to qualify for the Legacy campaign?
You will need to pay a further 60 days of subscription before the start of the version 2.0 beta test to be able to fulfill the requirements needed to qualify for the Legacy Campaign.

I played before the start of billing (BEFORE NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2011) and I am no longer in my 30-day Free Trial period. What do I need to do to qualify for the Legacy campaign?
You will need to register a 90-day subscription option to your account before June 30th, 2012 to be able to fulfill the requirements needed to qualify for the Legacy Campaign.

I started playing IN MAY 2012 and I am currently in my 30-day Free Trial period. What do I need to do to qualify for the Legacy campaign?
You will need to register a 90-day subscription option to your account before June 30th, 2012 to be able to fulfill the requirements needed to qualify for the Legacy Campaign.

I started playing for the very first time AFTER MAY 2012. What do I need to do to qualify for the Legacy campaign? You get NOTHING.

I was going to respond to this due to the "stupid Americans" comment, but I think the ignorance of it speaks for itself. Also, I'm not sure if you're aware, but that whiskey that you're named after is made in Lynchburg, Tennessee.

My Grandpa always used to drink Jack Daniels ( with ice so the ice would take some of the alcohol edge off) God I miss him... >.<.

I have a friend who registered on May 30th (was still May 30th in Japan time). They are due to pay June 30th. I'm reading conflicting statements... main page says "Must pay BEFORE June 30th" but it the main page also states that "starting July 1" we will only be able to sign up for 30 day subscription periods.

Does this mean that June 30th is within the range?

The way I understand it, as long as you can switch to 90 day, it doesn't matter if the actual charge happens later.

Looks like to me that alpha will start at the beginning of September and run a month and then beta starts end of September beginning of October. Which is pretty much on schedule.

He had to have registered "no later than May 31". He will be able to get the 90 day and once those 90 days are up he will be swapped to 30 day.

I've been playing since BETA, I JUST changed my subscription (yesterday) to 90-day plan with over 6k crysta balance. I haven't gotten an update on my membership status for the Legacy Campaign yet. Am I too late...?

Wait for billing to occur.

So, what it boils down to is this. I debated buying the game, but then I saw the nice shiny Legacy Campaign banner on the site. (The Banner is STILL THERE.) I clicked it and read about all of the cool features and decided I would get in early, and score some coolness. But I am 13 days too late. My free trial ends on the 13th of next month, so my 90-day sub, and my Legacy status, along with my nice pretty chocobo... are gone. Words fail me. :(

Hello guys, sorry if my question is stupid because English isnt my first language..

So i registered my FFXIV on 2nd of June 2012.. If i purchase 90 days subscription right now, do i still able to get legacy campaign? Thanks!

You worded the question just fine. :)

You can not purchase a subscription outright. You would have to wait for your free trial to expire, so that your account will automatically bill you. So, because you have to wait for your free trial to expire, you will miss the deadline. I am having the same issue.

If you registered for the game AFTER MAY 31st, you get nothing. Sorry.

Yep... They really should take the Legacy Campaign banner off of the main page since it is now imposible to actully qualify for it. If you did not get in you aren't getting in. I guess it just upsets me that the only thing keeping me from getting qualified is a "free" trial that I would gladly give up now if it meant I could qualify for the subscription deadline.

Did you register prior to May 31? Your free trial isn't keeping you from anything if you sign up for the 90 days...

No I didn't. I registered last week. I even went in and scheduled the 90-day subscription, so my account page reflects that my next billing cycle will charge for the 90-day plan. It sounds like that will just get converted, since I don't get billed until the 13th.

So your 30 day isn't keeping you, its the fact that you registered after the May 31 deadline.

Thanks for the quick reply :)

Ahhh what a waste then :( Hopefully SE will have this kind of promotion after 2.0 launch :(

This is the page that needs to be updated. http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com.../campaign.html
This page says nothing about the dadline. This page is why I paid for the game, and registered my plan, etc. What can I say, the chocobo sold me on it. I am one of the guys that had a SAM/RNG in FFXI that would miss Dynamis because he was busy breeding yet another chocobo. I had one of every color. I had it down to a science! LOL

I see... Yeah, that page says nothing about the deadline, but the Lodestone front page does if you scroll down.

Yeah, I misread it... Here is what you are talking about.

"Players Currently Within the 30-Day Free Trial Period
Players who began playing as of May 2012 and have registered for a 90-day period before June 30, 2012 will be able to fulfill the requirements needed to qualify for the Legacy Campaign. "

I read that to mean "As of May 2012, players who have registered for a 90-day period before June 30, 2012..."

What it should say is this. "Players who registerd ON OR BEFORE May 31,2012 who have registered for a 90-day period before June 30, 2012..."

I see the error in my logic now. Maybe they will update the other page as well so that others are not mislead as I was. It will not keep me from playing, I am having a blast! LOL Just got my hopes up. That will teach me to count my Chocobos before they hatch! :)

Actually, here is what I meant:

We have received questions from the community regarding when they need to begin playing FINAL FANTASY XIV if they wish to qualify for the Legacy Campaign.

In order to fulfill the requirements for the Legacy Campaign, a player must register his/her copy of the game no later than Thursday, May 31, 2012, and have subscribed for a minimum of 90 days beyond the conclusion of your free trial period.

Information regarding the transition from the current game to version 2.0 will be announced on the Lodestone in the future.

Review the details of the Legacy Campaign.

like many other people I found it very confusing...
I KNOW I do not qualify since I started the game merely 2 weeks ago but they should really remove this promotion from the website because I kinda bought the game now thinking it was right time to get some advantages over 2.0... but will get nothing

Ok I had to scroll down and look for that one and I knew what i was looking for. LOL That should be on the Main Legacy Campaign Details page.

Same here. Tempted to start a LS for all of us that missed it by days. We could call it Lost Legacy...

Just to check, the registration In or Before May can go as far back as last year doesn't have any additional checks as to whether the player has played since pay-to-play?

Have a friend who for whom it might be advisable to jump in and grab a 90-day subscription within the next few days. He hasn't played since f2p, but has been registered since around July 2011 or so. Would he still be able to get the Legacy discount as long as he buys the 90-day by June 30th?

Since his account was created before May 31, 2012, all he would need to do is pay for his 90-day subscription before June 30.

If you registered FFXIV after May 2012 but pay for three 30 day subscriptions before 2.0 beta will you still be eligible?

If you registered after May 31 you're not eligible no matter what kind of subscription you pay for.

Just got Legacy Status today
