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.

05-21-2012, 09:29 PMKayokaneactually, October would be more likely based on the phrasing, It's saying buy before may 31st, skip June b/c of 30 free trial, pay for the 3 months of July, August, and September... thereby from May 30+90 days passed to be October.Quote:

last date to register = 31st May, thats register not start paying. That would mean 4 months so it would be October by your reasoning.
(edit ) see above lol. -

of course don't forget that we may have to factor in 1-2 months of error just in case SE has has to fix unforeseen errors that will prevent the player-base from joining the game. :) so I'd say in theory, beta will most likely be starting October through December. (just to be on the safe side)

If Beta appears to be end of September - October time 2.0 is right on track :D.

I have a quick question I came back in April and paid for two months so far and the dead line is may 31 and my 3ed month won't be billed till June 5th so that mean I won't get the Legacy?
Should I just buy a 90 day payment real fast?
All so my wife came back in may 7th if I buy her a 90 day payment will she get the Legacy too? -

You should be alright, basically the above is just an added requirement for Legacy so those who may buy the game on the last day or a month before and be like oh hey 90 days pay now I'm Legacy to. This is basically a way to weed out an influx of Legacy members last minute but, people still have 10 days to register the product if they have faith in the product. So basically it comes down to is a person willing to gamble 20 dollars in hope that 2.0 will be good so that they can go for legacy should they choose. If you think of the recent influx of MMO's that have gone for 60 it is a good investment if you end up liking the game, and even if you don't at least you only paid 20 dollars for a chance at the 9.99 legacy lol. 9.99=120$, 12.99=156$ and 14.99=180. So basically for anyone who gets the notification and gives the 20 dollar game a shot they easily end up saving 16/30 dollars the first year if they become eligible for legacy lol. Then each following year they save 36/50 dollars lol.
Granted this doesn't help anyone who prolly hasn't gotten the game or doesn't view the game but as it stands now it comes down to if you are even slightly interested in the game now's the time to buy and register it. If you don't then you'll end up costing yourself 1 new game a year because of the extra cash you'll be paying for a a yearly sub compared to legacy members XD. -

I have a question about this legacy thing. Legacy members can request their name to be added to credits of 2.0 version so does this mean we get our real name in there or in-game name?
