The great Legacy Thread!

Played 1.0: Aye, from the alpha/beta.
Earned Legacy Account Status: Yup!
1.0 exclusive Items earned: Can't remember. Not all that many. I wasn't too focused on that part of the game. I did get the Goobbue.
/Playtime: 220 days, 18 hours (Don't judge.)
Do you still use your 1.0 Character: Yes. She went from Miqo'te to Roegadyn, and changed names, though.
1.0 Server: Wutai, then Masamune.
What keeps you coming back: FF MMORPGs are the only MMOs that really keep me entertained. I like the story, and experiencing it with my buds. Also, RP.

Do you still use your 1.0 Character: Yup
1.0 Server: Rabanaster > Selbina > Ridill > (2.0) Hyperion > Zalera
What keeps you coming back: I love the game and my character

Barely played During that first terrible year. Even deleted my character and restarted on Selbina, but once Chocobos where announced, that when I really got into 14. Played through all the combat changes and spent most of my time leveling Classes to 50. Went to Hyperion on 2.0 but eventual move to Zalera to play whit IRL Friends, they did not want to move to a server whit vets so I move to them when those doors where opened. I do miss seeing other vets ( and the Japs, miss them too). Still get funny Questions from my almost always on Title: "Wild Thing"

[Atoli]

Played 1.0: Yes, since early 2011 when I bought my first own PC capable of running games xD
Earned Legacy Account Status: Yes, right from the time they introduced payments again.
1.0 exclusive Items earned: All story-related ones as well as quest rewards (like Gobbue mount and Dalamud Horn, etc.), but I think I missed out on some special collector stuff you only got for preordering?
Playtime:Not so much, since it only counts since ARR and I paused for a year.
Do you still use your 1.0 Character: Of course! ;D Until last friday, she actually looked pretty much the same as when I created her in 2011. Now she's an Au Ra though :x
1.0 Server: Lindblum -> Sargatanas -> Ragnarok (1.x) -> Ragnarok (ARR). But I still have a character on Sargatanas to keep in touch with the people there.
What keeps you coming back: The story, the friends, the beautiful world..

[Lissandra]

Played 1.0: Yes. Since alpha testing.
Earned Legacy Account Status: Yes.
1.0 exclusive Items earned: Almost everything (never got white raven earrings). I missed 0 ingame events!
/Playtime: I question my own sanity over this one.
Do you still use your 1.0 Character: Yes, but I've gotten a makeover.
1.0 Server: Fabul --> (merged with Besaid to become Balmung)
What keeps you coming back: Plot, friends, and cause it's a FF title, etc.

[Evangela]

I'm using my 1.0 character, still the same race, same hairstyle & color. was on Besaid and now Balmung (same server, name changed).

only thing I change is my main job from WHM to NIN.

[Enkidoh]

Played 1.0: Yes. Preordered 1.0 CE at launch (September 2010) but billing issues (and family issues) prevented me from actually starting until four months after launch (January 2011). Played intermittently until after original shutdown (as I was still heavily invested in FFXI), but then after the Calamity event accompanying the original shutdown drew me back full time, (that and being accepted into ARR's Alpha Test), I went and played the original story up to Future's Perfect when servers were reactivated temporarily at the end of 2012. Considering I went from GLA 13 to PLD 50 with original story completion (Future's Perfect) in a little under a month, is something I'm proud of (sadly that was after the final save so that wasn't carried across into ARR). But I'm still proud of that little accomplishment anyway.
Earned Legacy Account Status: Yes (and I'm proud of it!)
1.0 exclusive Items earned: Just the Hermes Shoes and Onion Helm (although the later is still attainable if you have a code), my original starting gear, and some dated items that a friend who is now on another server crafted for me (before they became dated). In particular, a Dated Brass Dagger that is still equippable by GLA/PLD! As I have Legacy Campaign status I naturally also have the Legacy Chocobo too, but that was not available in 1.0 after all so that doesn't really count.
/Playtime: unknown (I shamed to admit I didn't know that command was even in the game!)
Do you still use your 1.0 Character: Yes. Enki is forever my main. And I'm still playing my original starting class (GLA) too! (Well, it's Job upgrade anyway ).
1.0 Server: Originally Selbina, which then became Ridill. Started ARR on Ridill as well until December 2014, when I finally made the switch to Balmung where all my friends are. Despite the congestion, it's something I don't regret either.
What keeps you coming back: 1.0 had a lot of potential which Tanaka sadly squandered and deserved to be put out of it's misery. ARR is so much better even with it's little quirks and annoyances. And Heavensward is just building on that. I'm just having too much fun to leave. That and, well, it's a Final Fantasy game, a FF game where I can create my own character and experience the story as my character instead of a story one (like FFXI), the intriguing and well written story, the amazing world, and all my friends and family are here with me which alone is more than reason enough to stay in Eorzea.
