How to get a Legacy Status?

[dapperfaffer]

I bought 1.0 at release, created a character, played it for I'd say about 3 hours, and didn't log back in until 2.0 release. My character had the legacy mark.

IIRC when Legacy was being brought up during the beta prior to the release of ARR the sub time was dropped as the requirement since people thought it was unfair that they would have had to play what was a very broken game in order to qualify, so it was changed to having a character on an active account/having purchased 1.0. Or what Dsherman said.

I wish I could remember the login information for my old ARR 1.0 account. :C
