How to Check for Legacy

[whoopeeragon]

you mean they are so impatient they have to check from work and its too much of a hassle to wait til they get home?

If they are impatient, yes, maybe so. However, those who have kept a (maybe) careful check of when they get legacy may have not received an email, and want to check in other ways aside from logging into the game. I wouldn't want that hanging over my head when I (think I) know that I have fulfilled the requirement, yet didn't receive an email. Besides, if you can check your email, odds are that you also have access to net, and thus access to the Square Enix management account.

Also another advantage of Square Enix Management is that you can keep a record and check it to see if you ARE entitled to legacy. The game doesn't really show it....it doesn't show how long more you need to pay for before you reach legacy status. It's a small thing, but convenient for you to calculate for those who do want legacy.

I don't know why you and Raklo are kind of being a bit against having an additional way of figuring out whether you have legacy, nor why you have to express such an exasperated tone with me trying to help others who are 'impatient' about their legacy status. But to each his own - I respect your approaches.

@Zyph. Thanks. I believe I should have put "[GUIDE]" into the title so that people know where to look for instead of dismissing it as another question topic. Will go into my signature regardless.

I have to say that this whole Legacy thing was very confusing for a new player. I emailed them for clarification because the way the requirements were worded made them very vague. I just started playing May 15th and then assumed I would be eligible if I payed for 90 days of service. However, I had only signed up for the 30 day billing cycle. Now today, the message comes out that you have to have signed up for the 90 day billing cycle, which is going to be discontinued at the end of the month. I changed it to that right away, but I just got charged $9.99 for the first 30 day cycle. Now I'm wondering if I will be charged the 90 day cycle in July or if it will now default me to the 30 day cycle when they discontinue it.

That seems a bit ramble-y. So, will I be eligible now, or not? Also, do I find out 3 months from now or when the 90 day amount is charged? Will the 90 day be charged next month if they are deleting that as an option at the end of this month?

Sorry for the late replies, guys, but...

First of all, the clarification on the 90 day service option is entirely different from the 90 days required to be eligible for Legacy. The 90 day service option operates entirely independent from the Legacy; I believe the Legacy flag only pops on your 90th day of subscription. So even if you pay for the 90 days now, you won't get legacy straight away; you still must wait for 90 days before you can get the notification.

That's the misconception here; you don't just pay for 90 days. You have to wait for the 90 days to pass before you are eligible. I hope that clears things up. I recommend switching back to the 30 day period, since they're abolishing the 90 day option.

Why do you have that many character slots open OP?? I thought we didn't get free slots until 2.0?

(Magic)

Actually, they're not open at all. I only have two characters open, one created after those screenshots. I forgot how I managed to get the "to activate this character blah blah" to disappear.
