Above is a template if you would like to answer some, all, or even more questions (feel free to add any I may have missed or something you think would be relevant.) My answers will be below!



Played 1.0: Yes, since 1.0 Beta (my old service account is still there)
Earned Legacy Account Status: You betcha! Gunna have to tally up how much money I;ve saved so far.
1.0 exclusive Items earned: I got the Gobbu Mount, Legacy Choco, but I missed out on the ring, horn, and the alternate ending/beginning. Only got to level 47 in 1.0 also have my notebook and Chr Birth Certificate from 1.0 CE
/Playtime: Was sitting at 95+ Hours last night, I dont think this includes AFK time or 1.0 time.
Do you still use your 1.0 Character: No, I started a new character for a new game (effectively) I do still have my 1.0 character on another server though.
1.0 Server: Balmung/Sargantanas/Fabul

Played 1.0: Played beta but I have no idea what the account name or password is.. lol. Same character name and look though.
Legacy status: I actually had no idea about it when I rejoined and heard about it in game, but had play time already so I wasn't ruined (though my friend lost out, part of me wished they kept payment plans up to the last month - he was so close xD).
1.0 stuff: Some dated gear, decided to keep some cracked materia, reindeer, Gobbue, Legacy Choco, ring, horn, probably some other stuff I can't think of. Know I don't have the moonlet, and white raven earrings though.
Playtime: Uh, I think it was 90-100 hours, but I'll edit it when I can check- if I'm drastically wrong.
1.0 Character: Yes.
1.0 server: Fabul server merge -> Balmung

Playtime in 1.0 is not carried over to 2.0+. But been playing since alpha stages and really picked it up when Yoshi took over from Tanaka. Nostolgia.

Played 1.0

Legacy status: No. I never subbed, only played while it was free.

1.0 exclusive items: Just the Gobbue mount and peach blossom.

Playtime: 133 days

1.0 character: technically yes. Though I used a Fantasia and swapped genders.

1.0 server: Balmung.

Heya nice to see some of the older players still around.


Played 1.0: Yes from March 2010 closed Alpha test on the Shadowlord server (i think it was that)


Earned Legacy Account Status: Yes


1.0 exclusive Items earned: Prob all i think




/Playtime: 416 days, 17 hours, 44 minutes took a break though :)


Do you still use your 1.0 Character: Yes although she is now a Au ra



1.0 Servers Rabanastre Mysidia and Sargatanas


And i stay with the game because i have been here too long and now the game is what it should have been. I saw all the bad and some good and have to many memories so i keep coming back.

Played 1.0: Yup, launch day.

Earned Legacy Account Status: Of course!

1.0 exclusive Items earned: Legacy choco, gobbue, I'm sure there is more...

/Playtime: only 74 days since ARR I wish I could play more.

Do you still use your 1.0 Character: Sure do!

1.0 Server: Rabanastra (sorry about spelling) ---> Excalibur

What keeps you coming back: The game stands great on it's own, but I love FF series, a big part is sometimes it feels like XI, of course I remade my XI character to the exact likeness in XIV, so that helps.

There are a lot of things that keeps me coming back. I think it is one of the best done MMO's in a long time, and I've played A LOT.

Played 1.0: Nearly all the way through.

Earned Legacy Account Status: Hell yes.

1.0 exclusive Items earned: I have a bunch of dated junk on my old character but the only thing I have with my new one is the Legacy chocobo. Which I ride everywhere.

/Playtime:
49 days, 1 hour, 57 minutes new character
33 days, 21 hours, 8 minutes old character

82 days, 23 hours, 5 minutes total

Do you still use your 1.0 Character: No. Just an exact copy of him on a different server.

1.0 Server: I believe it was Sargantas.

What keeps you coming back: There is a void. A tear in the psyche that yet hungers. It yearns for growth. For progress. This is one of many senseless activities I surround myself with to sedate it. The adulations and recognition I get here is probably the biggest thing that keeps me going.

Also. It's me.

Played 1.0: Yes. I learned about the game a bit after it launched, and played all the way through to the end.

1.0 exclusive Items earned: Pretty much everything. Legacy Chocobo, Goobbue, Dalamud horn, Moonlet earring, some old robes, disabling baghnahks, and a few odds and ends mementos.

/Playtime: Just over 365 days. If that doesn't count 1.0 time, then I really don't want to know!

1.0 Server: Saronia -> Sargatanas. Gungnir from ARR and now Anima.

Earned legacy status: Hell yeah.

1.0 exclusive items: Pretty much all the big things, legacy chocobo, goobbue, Dalamud horn etc. And some smaller things including some over aspected crystals.

Do you still use your 1.0 character: Yep, just changed my last name from Lionheart.

What keeps you comming back?: My FC/LS friends who I met with back when I first started 1.0 keeps me going. Also, I have more of my local friends playing with me and it's great! I love the updates and the feel of the game (even though I do burn out at times, I keep comming back!).
