I realize that I am in probably an extreme minority of players, but with Yoshi-P's announcement, I am currently on track to receive legacy membership but only if I'm allowed to continue to pay for my account into October. However, according to the announcement, the game will be free to play as of September.
Is there anyway for players that are currently playing to make some form of "Crysta donation" to continue our subscriptions during this free period?

08-31-2012, 03:46 AMVindraxCan we be given the option to continue to pay for our subscription in October?

08-31-2012, 04:22 AMLux_RaynaI thought you couldn't get legacy after a certain point. They did warn you about this lol..if you wanted legacy why didn't you sign up when they announced it? You had like a full month.Quote:

Yeah you've long missed the deadline for legacy.

08-31-2012, 05:28 AMBharata_SenkaNobody else seems to have noticed this yet, but your understanding of FTP in September is incorrect. November 1 will be the final save maintenance, with November 11 being when servers go down.Quote:

So long as you started your Sub by August 1, you should be in the clear. August, September, and October will qualify you for Legacy. If you started after August 1, you may be short by a few days depending on when the billing period ends. -

The legacy deadline has passed by about a month now, sorry man.

08-31-2012, 05:56 AMVindraxI activated my account at release and paid for a full year of Crysta and while I played for a number of months after release I did not actually pay any Crysta. Then due to RL issues, I had to put down gaming until this summer when I reactivated my account in mid July (not even knowing there was a legacy program).Quote:

Will we still be given the option to pay during that period to qualify for Legacy status?
Edit: I think you are right, I misread the letter the first time. If I understand this correctly, we will still have to pay up through November, however should they decide to keep the servers up post Nov. 1, we would be able to play for free. Thanks for the clarification, this literally made my day. Never thought I would actually be so happy for the right to pay for a game subscription lol. -

I'm currently in the same boat. I started my subscription in August because I saw the Legacy Campaign advertised on the Lodestone front page. The Legacy Campaign page states that you must pay 3 consecutive months prior to the Beta release. In Yoshi-P's letter, he states that the Alpha is on its way, and that the game won't move to Beta until he is absolutely satisfied with the Alpha testing.
I honestly wouldn't have known about any sort of deadline if I hadn't browsed the forums. It seems like members are violent about calling other people out on missing this "deadline." I'd argue that FFXIV is still far from Beta and if there was a deadline or cutoff I'd find it very hard to believe that they would keep the Legacy Campaign promotion on the front page of the website. -

I've been pondering this as well. At one point they had on the lodestone that you had to have registered your account prior to the end of may 2012 also to qualify for legacy, which bummed me out bigtime, but now it is back to it's original statement that you only have to have 90 cumulative paid subscription days between Jan 2012 and the start of 2.0 beta testing.
I started in mid June, which is why i was bummed when it was stated about the registering by end of may 2012. I had my 30 day free trial and made my first payment in july, then august, and now mid september would be my 3rd payment for the 90 days. It would appear from reading the latest letter from yoshi p that the beta definitely wont be that early. so.... my question is, will I achieve legacy status after all? or will the having to have registered my game before the end of may still apply? -

Our education system has failed us. The lack of text comprehension is absurd.
Legacy deadline has passed by more than a month now.
Just waiting for the gobbue threads to start...
"I reached lvl 30, where is my gobbue"

08-31-2012, 08:27 AMStenceI don't know...I don't see anything about a deadline on the Legacy Campaign promotion page. I also didn't receive an email about it in my inbox. I think many people are confusing the deadline for the 90 day subscription payment with the Legacy Campaign promotion.Quote:

I know some people have a hard time reading so I will break this down thanks to *Blaize* for the link to the information and this information is straight from the official post so feel free to read it yourself.
To be eligible for the Legacy campaign, you must pay for 90 days cumulative between January 6th and the start of version 2.0 beta testing. (As stated in the Legacy Campaign announcement)
So as you can Cleary see above these are the requirements to obtain legacy status. Since everyone has a hard time understanding that the Legacy status has not pass per my 2 conversations with Square-enix's Customer support.
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.
The second reference to June 30th 2012 does not end the eligibility to Legacy stats, it Ends the availability to subscribe for 90 days. -
08-31-2012, 09:21 AMZenakuSo ya you can't get legacy anymore because you need to do 90s subs to get legacy so it ended about 2month ago lol.Quote:

Basically, you can't get legacy status if you didn't subscribe by June 30.
-
08-31-2012, 09:36 AMBruderI really hope some day you learn to read. You can get LEGACY IF YOU PAY FOR 90 DAYS CUMULATIVE(That means from the start date to the end date) between January 6th and the start of version 2.0 beta testing. The June 30th date was just the end of the 90 days at ONCE subscriptions.Quote:

I understand you can pay for 90days cumulative or pay up front for the 90days plan before june 30.but pretty much you can no longer get legacy sense june30.Quote:

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the support/information in regards to this thread. I just received my legacy status today (still waiting on the e-mail, but it's showing on my account status already :D). Really enjoying all the changes they brought to the game and can't wait for 2.0!

Re-registered my acc on Jul 17, got legacy on Sept 16.
Jun30 deadline is only for new players (free month) returning players would actually be Jul30
Jul 30 = payment 1
Aug 29= payment 2
Sep 29 = payment 3

I would really appreciate this, I'd love my partner's account to be legacy but the free October screwed that up :( There was every indication that beta wouldn't start for a while and no promise of a free month so we missed it by only a week or two on that account.
-
09-26-2012, 01:08 AMElexiaActually, we knew that beta was supposed to start once XIV 1.0 went offline, but seems that changed too.Quote:
