The great Legacy Thread!

[WHS]

Played 1.0: Yes (me , and my 2 family members all played 1.0 since beta)
Earned Legacy Account Status: yes (all 3 of us)
1.0 exclusive Items earned: (the wanderer's shadow)
/Playtime: says little over 353 days but I don't think that counts 1.0 or beta time from 2.0.
Do you still use your 1.0 Character: everyday (we all 3 do)
1.0 Server: Aegis (but I am not sure if that was original or a merger one) been too long lol
We ended up doing a transfer to Hyperion because we live in NA. wasn't sure if the latency would be bad, Guess what, it hasn't been so I guess we could have stayed on Aegis
I kept one character on Aegis just for something to do when NA DC goes down.
What keeps you coming back: This is a hard one to answer. So much in love with 1.0. My family come because I am here. I come out of habit. Hoping for something new around every corner. Hoping this game becomes more than what it is. The Dream I suppose of infinite exploration.

Played 1.0:Since Beta
Earned Legacy Account Status: Yes
1.0 exclusive Items earned: Gobbue, Singed Chocobo, FFXII Gauntlets, Onion Helm, Dalamund Horn
Playtime:800-900 days, hard to tell

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..

[Kaliska]

Played 1.0: Since Beta
Earned Legacy Account Status: Yes.
1.0 exclusive Items earned: Gobbue, Onion Helm, Legacy Chocobo, seasonal titles/gear.
/Playtime: 535 days, 17 hours, 18 minutes - OMG, wish I hadn't looked.
Do you still use your 1.0 Character: Yes, was all lvl 50 - now working to all lvl 60. (I actually still play my FFXI character - same race, look, name, job lol)
1.0 Server: Fabul > Balmung > Ragnarok > Cerberus
What keeps you coming back: Loved FFXI, loved FFXIV 1.0 for all its faults. Just love the game and the people I play with.

formerly known as Faith Draco
1.0 Server: Ragnarok (big mistake)

Eeeeh why? ;_;
We were (and are) a great server
And I remember you xD

[Alteiriaa]

Played 1.0: Yep! From... launch, or there abouts, though on a diffrent character at first.
Earned Legacy Account Status: It's so nice I earned it twice. (though the other account is currently not subbed.)
1.0 exclusive Items earned: Besides the Legacy guff, I've got the Gobbue and some dated gear. I bearly completed Future's Perfect before Saves Day, and had joined a active shell quite late, so I never got a shot at the Horn or anything spiffy like that.
/Playtime: Oh gods no, I'm afraid to look!
Do you still use your 1.0 Character: Yep!
1.0 Server: Istory --> Gungnir (post server merge) --> Hyperion (2.0 on)
What keeps you coming back: I like the story and the community, and I guess my friends who still play are pretty great too, haha~!

These are awesome! I wasnt sure I would have many comments let alone all but three posts being more shout outs. My favorite parts to read are the "What Keeps You Coming Back" answers.

Thank you all for commenting and its great to see so many people still here after all this time. You guys all ROCK! Legacy strong and proud, we helped form the game we all are playing today.

[Seig345]

Played 1.0: Yes, starting with 1.0's beta.
Earned Legacy Account Status: Yes, I actually came back and subscribed in the first week of January 2012 when they started billing back up at the discounted rate, so I was 2 months in already and had the status a month after it was announced (since they were nice enough to retro-actively count the previous months).
1.0 exclusive Items earned: Goobbue mount. I still have some dated gear and infernals gathering dust in my retainer, I'll never let those go.
/Playtime: I -always- forget to check this when I log in, I'll edit it in later since I'm not home yet.
Do you still use your 1.0 Character: Technically, yes. Up until HW's early access, my main has still been my main, however I've found myself playing my alt now. However, both characters are actually from 1.0, both have the tattoos, Goobbue mount, etc, so still technically playing my 1.0 characters.
1.0 Server: Originally Lindblum, which ended up in Sargatanas, where I still am today.
What keeps you coming back: The story, the music, the design of the world and its people, and the accessibility of its gameplay.
