You definitely didn't. My character was created at the start of 1.0, played for about a month and never again until 2.0. I definitely didn't finish the MSQ (my highest job was about 20!) and I have the tattoo.

Lots of other people in this thread have said the same thing and that their level 1 characters have the tattoo. As long as the character existed before the end of 1.0, it will have the tattoo.

Exactly. All characters created in 1.0 and transferred into ARR have the Legacy mark, regardless of what you did in 1.0 (incidentally, so do retainers created in 1.0 and rehired in ARR as well). If the Legacy mark is not showing on a 1.0 character that has been transferred into ARR, try typing the '/legacymark on' command, as that is meant to make it visible if not already (if you want to hide it you type 'legacymark off' instead). If it still isn't working, you might have to put in a bug report to SE as I do recall in a few rare situations back during the Beta test the Legacy mark becoming bugged and not showing for players it was meant to.

Either way all 1.0 characters that are transferred into ARR are meant to have the Legacy mark (and that also does not change if you change their appearence via Fantasia or the once-only character recreation allowed when transferring that character data into ARR). 1.0 story completion has nothing to do with it.

Any player who paid for any cumulative 90 days between the commencement of billing services on January 6th, 2012 and the suspension of billing services on September 29th, 2012 qualified for Legacy status, regardless of which 90 days were purchased or whether they were purchased as part of a larger plan.

Sooo.. good and bad news.

The Legacy Status was not manually given to accounts, but automatically changed when eligible. So yeah, legacy status is gone.

Also, there is no character on my accounts that would fit the description.

However, the Character with my name was FOUND , fits the creation date of 9th november 2010, but is NOT on my accounts. Like, what? lol ... I think I have another Account Being in touch now with Customer Services. oddly enough, they found a char the lodestone does NOT show when looking up..

AFAIK the requirements are

Did you sub for 90 days during the period when subs were reinstated? You get the Legacy Tattoo, Chocobo and Legacy subscriptions.

Did you destroy the lunar transmitter prior to fighting Nael Van Darnus? You get the altered story content.

Cancelling your subscription is different than cancelling your service account. All you ever need to cancel is your sub, otherwise cancelling your service account deletes everything.

Cancelling the service account does not delete anything, and you can come back later and re-activate still. The only way to delete an account completely is to call SE and request it be deleted.

Try logging in and searching all the data centers for your character. Sometimes, characters from 1.0 don't show up in the mogstation until you interact with them at least once in the character menu.

THAT is what it was! I now paid for the account and logged in and found a lvl50 Monk Legacy Character which started the game with the ARR Intro. VERY interesting.

Account still isn't legacy status though too bad. BUT I have my tattoo Character!
