Legacy Eligibility

[V4NGUARD]

As for getting my moneys worth with the extended free trial period, don't even get me started.

However back on topic, this is all still very confusing. To me it seems like the 30 day thing was aimed at people who had just bought the game and were going to be on the free trial.

I don't see how it should matter when you sub for the 90 days as even if you sub in July there's still enough time to be billed for 3 months and the page states that it runs until 2.0 launches and not 30th of June.

Something was clearly lost in translation there.

July is that fuzzy month, and I think the last person covered it. They'll probably only bill you for a portion of a month once September comes. If you pay your last month on September 7th, they'll only charge you for 23 days, thus you wouldn't actually reach a full 90 paid days.

Assuming they actually shut off service on October 1st, they can't actually bill you for time while the service is offline, so that's why they would only bill you for a portion of the September month.

This is all guesswork at this point, but the June 30th day is what SE gave, so I'm just extrapolating from there.

I guess, I was expecting them to shut it down on the 14th as thats a year exactly since they announced it. And even so I find them not making me eligible for that even though they've billed me for the same cost as 30 days hard to believe as thats just underhanded and if it is the case should have been clearly stated rather than just "until 2.0 is launched"

I guess we'll see, I'll fight my corner and dispute them if necessary as I was hoping something great would happen with 2.0 like what I wanted 2 years ago almost and hope it still will.

Alrighty, here's what I did:
-Came back around June 8th ish
-re activated (dont remember if I had to pay 1st month then or not)
-was on the 30 day plan, read about the 90 day legacy thingie so I changed to 90 day plan.
- then saw the notice about 90 day going away and you had to manually switch back to 30 or risk being deactivated, so i did that around the 6th of July
- got billed on the 12th (yesterday)

I sorta understand I won't get legacy status until I've paid 90 days but will I qualify next month?

If you hop on the bandwagon at the last second, you have no one to blame but yourself if there isn't room left for you.

Hate to say it vangaurd, but you really shoulda done your homework before you tried to jump in on this.

SE has made several lodestone posts over the last few months regarding this, and there have been more then enough forum thread on people clarifying it.

Pre-ordered the game almost 2 years ago, left because of a shoddy release state. Spam filter didn't show me the email even though I never marked emails from SE as spam.

Yeah totally my fault. Stop trying to undermine me. I have just as much right as anyone. The points I'm making are all fair and valid.

If it was a case of I joined too late and will only get 2 months paid for by then, then I'm fine with that. The point I'm making is people are stating that if you haven't paid for a month by the 30th June then you cant get it, which isn't true. And also I was stating that if I get billed for the 3rd month but only get say 23 days instead of 30 because the servers go down (purely hypothetical) then I should still be eligible as I'm paying the same price and I don't see how that's different.

As I said my points are valid, I'm just complaining about lack of information really.

While I understand that. I also don't think that reading through multiple forum posts should be necessary for this sort of thing. I mean I read the Legacy information on the Lodestone when I came back the other day and made sure that I went over everything mentioned which I did. There was still no release date and when I checked the closest people had guess was October time which also made sense since they announced it on October 14th last year.

That still leaves enough time to pay for 90 days, that's all I'm saying. The information is still rather sketchy though.


As I previously said though, if they do it next month or September I'm fine with that and understand I missed the chance, but as long as I pay the fees for 3 months regardless if I miss a few days to the servers cutting I should still be eligible. Thats all I'm trying to convey as I've said a few times now.

I'm not trying to argue or anything.

Honestly, I've been looking around for information on this (for my seconds account), and after asking the SE help desk i was told that you only need 3 payments made before 2.0 beta, which depending on your luck could launch at the end of october.

Thank you, this is all I'm trying my best to confirm AND this is the exact same information I've just gotten from them too. Nothing even to do with June 30th.

My 3rd month billing will be around 10th of September and unless they cut the servers off before then(which I'm fine with and accept my fate), then I should be fine for getting Legacy.
