I played 1.0 on a diff account bought the CE and everything. Hated it so I left..well then they announced 2.0, played the beta and didnt think I would like it but well here I am lol. Anyhew I had already gotten this character to like 35 when I sat there thinking, why am did I not get any perks? Well I had used a completely different email for this account @_@ (luckily got the emails switched) so I lost all my legacy perks. Just out of curiosity what did they get? Did they keep the onion knight helm? ;_; miss that thing.
So what did legacy players get?

Side Note: What is funny is I did get to use the authenticator from the old CE on this account, was not even sure it would work but it did so I am pretty happy about that.

A tattoo on your neck.

Legacy chocobo you can't use barding on, a neck tattoo, 8 characters per server and you get to pay $10 a month. If you beat United We Stand in 1.2X you get special dialogue in some quests but that's not really a Legacy bonus with a capital L, just legacy as in just played the old version.

Legacy chocobo. Has some original armor and dark tips on the end of its tail and wing feathers. Can be given to any character you create.
Survivor neck tatoo. I don't miss it. It was super generic.
Carpet hatted gobue. Honestly, the new design is better.
Old gear. Some of it's great for glamors, but not much else.
A free Fantasia potion.
And I think that's mostly it. -
06-14-2014, 07:42 AMCannedGeekThat, plus a discount on the monthly fee which is probably the most substantial perk. $9.99 per month isn't shabby, 90/180 day is even cheaper.Quote:

Legacy players got a producer that might just turn out to be worse than Tanaka in arrogance.

......A 0 taken off our total gil.
Oh, and a tattoo and a legacy chocobo. -

Yeah, for all the bitching and whining alot of new players did over Legacy players we didn't exactly run away with the bank in any aspect. We got a chocobo that... we still had to finish the chocobo quest to use and there's not much we can even do with it, it's just a chocobo. One more vanity mount in a river of vanity mounts because the real mount is the chocobo you get from the chocobo quest for the low cost of 2,000 seals. The tattoo is a non-issue as near every piece of armor covers it up so most of the time noone sees it anyway. The goobbue, which was a sticking point for the longest time, wasn't even a Legacy gift, it was something you could get for a limited time that even many Legacy players never bothered getting because it was a goobbue.
And did we ever pay for having the ability to play our old characters. Sure, our monthly fee is lower (low enough that I was able to justify getting the 6 month plan), but in-game because of a minority of players all of us had to eat a 90% Legacy tax on our gil. I started 2.0 with 30,000 gil for it. Sure, that was more than new players started with, but new players didn't have early 2.0 repair costs on high level gear to deal with. Took me a while to recover the gil I lost to Legacy tax. We also got to keep our old gear, which was THE reason I kept my character. I started 1.0 late (around 1.18-1.2 I think) so all the multi-class armor had turned Dated so it was a heck of a time trying to get some made. I love my Dated Iron Plate set, wouldn't dream of getting rid of it, ever. Wish I'd gotten it in every color it had available, though... -

Is it from him jetting all over the world to appear in every "look at me" event that will have him, bringing in new players to a game that already doesn't have the server space needed to fully accommodate the player base they already have? Or could it be that he many times refuses to acknowledge the issues in this game, and just blames the players themselves for either not knowing how to play it, not knowing how to properly manage the camera, or even not knowing how to manage the lag, that he sometimes even denies is there?Quote:

This get only characters created during 1.0, not a legacy account thingQuote:
