[GuiltyBoomerang]

Played 1.0:Beta.
Earned Legacy Account Status:Definitely. Left before experiencing Dalamund dropping though. Came back a few months into release of 2.0.
1.0 exclusive Items earned:Chocobo, Goobue, Moonlet, Onion Knight Helm + Armor Set, some dated gear...and the Wood Wailer's Jacket. One of the few pieces of combat gear with gathering stats.
Playtime: 122 Days, 5 hours, 25 minutes
Do you still use your 1.0 Character: Yes! Only just changed from Mi'Qote to Au Ra. I've lost my cheekiness for a poker face
1.0 Server: Gysahl -> Masamune (2.0) -> Tonberry
What keeps you coming back: The community in-game - after I moved servers it was relatively easy to find new friends to play with...I still feel guilty about not saying goodbye to the people of Thanalan Alliance, TeaCo (with the legendary Thal Icebound and artist extraordinaire Nique/Sa'niquel Amrita [Super Happy Discussion!) and Avan Guardian on Masamune. If you're reading this, I will find a way one day...

Played 1.0: yes, commercial release
Earned Legacy Account Status: yes
1.0 exclusive Items earned: yes, but i dont have it anymore as my 1.0 character was eaten by a drunk marmot
/Playtime: i dont know. About 6-8hrs a day in 1.0, less in 2.0 and onwards. Im chronically ill so i had a lot of time, but im getting better, so now i have less time lol
Do you still use your 1.0 Character: I'm afraid not
1.0 Server: Karnak -> Excalibur
What keeps you coming back:In 1.0 (esspecially before the december patch of 2010) i could walk into a city or zone and find a random friend. I had a lot of friends that were lost xbox players or playstation players trying to get ahead of the game. Afterwards i got a LS and stayed there actively untill i ragequit in 2.0. Now im back again with (yet another) Ras Gyn
Fun memory: first grinding party ever was with 16 players and we tried to kill lvl25 rats (as lvl10-15)in a gridanian open dungeon..the rats won

[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.

[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.

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.
