And there is still this:

Yeah I've seen this, but I was told otherwise by support. It seems like the 30th of June was the "Its better if you do it by now because we don't know when were taking the servers down for 2.0 but it wont be till at least after 3 months from now are up"

The 30th June doesn't mean you can't be eligible it just means theres a chance it might be too late. I subbed a week and a bit after then and still might be fine. If the 30th was the cut off date then they would have stated it as a finite point on the Legacy page and took the notice down by now.

He didn't create a new account, and also:

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)

He didn't create a new account, and also:

Exactly I've had an account since the pre-order beta and most people seem to be thinking that June 30th was some sort of final cut off. Which is wrong.

Because of this I posted the point about old accounts not payed until June 30

[TaalAzura]

Yeah, for a guarantee. However, it's not necessary.

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

What are you expecting? There were at least three major announcements on Lodestone (as well as a header, and the announcement always had priority over other updates), tons of forum topics, several e-mails, and you're saying there is lack of information? What do you want them to do? Come to your house, smash your windows, climb in and announce that there's a new campaign? It is not Square Enix's fault you did not check your spam folder, or that their e-mail is marked as spam in the first place. You can't blame anyone but yourself.

Sorry I don't spend all my time on forums. And I guess I'm a bad person cause I don't check my spam folder that's filled with hundreds of emails because it takes a long time.

The information I was referring to was on the Legacy page and people thinking that June 30th is a definite cut off date, which it isn't by the way. Its a date when you're guaranteed, as in if you pay after you MIGHT not have enough time it all depends when they take the servers down and seeing as I subbed shortly after I could easily have enough time unless they take the servers down in august or very early September.

If 30th was the cut off date then why still display the Legacy information and why keep something so important off all of the clearly visible information and instead put it in the forums. Its not logical.

I registered a new account account (with the free 30 day bonus) on June 30, 2012 and was able to choose the 90 day subscription option. I do understand that I probably wont get legacy status but left the option on anyway hoping that there's a chance they somehow prolong the launch and allow me 90 days payment.

My question is, since the requirements is 90 days and I leave this option ticked off, will I risk a chance of deactivation? I haven't received this notice yet but have seen several posts about it.

I'm just confused because there's a chance that 90 days can be met (due to delays). I just don't want to choose 30 days and lose the option to choose 90 again.

-Sorry for the long post!

Now stop targeting me.

Because the requirement is 3 months. Think about it for a second, if a person only paid for one month from January to June then they are still eligible til July 30/31st since they already have one month under their belts. They may post more news about Legacy stating that if you still need 2 months to pay the cut off is end of July, then make the final notification that if you still need 1 month August 30/31st is the cut off date.

As it stands now this is how they have been slowly widdling down the amount of people that can gain legacy.

-First limitation was you have to have the game registered before May.
-Second limitation was you have to start actually paying for the game by June 30th if you haven't paid for the game yet.

--------
So if you are wondering why they are still showing the legacy info it's because people who have paid 1 or 2 months already are still eligible for the benefits so the info still needs to be up there so they are aware of it.

I've been told different from SE Support even though they can be useless AND if the 30th is as important as you say it is then why isn't the Legacy page updated with that? because if so then its false advertising and people returning and wanting to pay in chances of getting it 100% cant and are basically being tricked into it.

I'm still standing by that the 30th isnt a final cut off, its exactly what I said it was. A guarantee because they don't know when the servers will be going off for 2.0 but they can generalize the area (being sometime around 3 months after June 30th).

Which makes much more sense than basically hiding "important information"
