Regarding the legacy campaign announcement- New deadline?

[Bayohne]

First and foremost, to help clarify one of the main points of confusion that is popping up:

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)

Today's announcement was to notify players that the 90-day subscription option will be removed at the end of this month. Since that option may affect how some qualify for Legacy, we listed a few examples in the announcement.

It seems that those may have been unclear, so we prepared a more in-depth FAQ for all.

I have paid for 90 cumulative days of subscription since the start of billing; 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, 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 have paid for 60 cumulative days of subscription since the start of billing, what do I need to do to qualify for the Legacy campaign?
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 played before the start of billing 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.

Hopefully this will clear up any questions that you all might have!

So this applies to a friend of mine that just came back 2 days ago but we was under the impression that as long as you started paying before the end of this month everything would fine. He chose 30 days and planned on just paying for 3 months in a row. Is this still case or did he HAVE to of picked the 90 days? Is the legacy still available for him?

This is really the only scenario that isn't made crystal clear with their wording of it or I'm misunderstanding it.

I think the part you're quoting only refers to past players who AREN'T playing right now, AND haven't played at all since billing started.

Your friend should fall under the I've paid for 30 cumulative days of subscription since the start of billing category because he's already had to pay one time.

Hi Bayohne,

Thanks for clarifying things. I had a followup as a few people brought up:

* Will those of us on the 180-day Subscription (already Legacy), need to do anything when our 180-subscription is up? Will the Account System automatically switch us over to the New Maximum-day Subscription, or do we have to manually track when our 180 is up and go in and manually pick another Billing option (since it looks like the 180 is going away)?


* Also, will you be sending out an update / instructions on how you'll be handling Automatic Billing / Subscriptions when 2.0 Beta / Final 2.0 Launches? Do we just let our subscriptions automatically renew (I hope so), or do we have to manually go in and sign up again after Beta, etc.?

Thanks~

I MUST find this 60 day option..

lol really?

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

I was laughing that this even need to be said? Was it reiterated twice for posterity, or for the stupid americans?

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... >.<.
