On the Legacy Campaing page :
"Users with service accounts that have paid for at least 90 cumulative days of subscriptions between January 6, 2012 and the start of version 2.0 beta testing are eligible."

Does that mean 2.0 Beta is about to start?

First let me say that it is awesome to see the anticipation for 2.0! I hope it is a sign of things to come and that FFXIV takes off for many years of success when it finally does drop. Now, about that timeline:

In your original post you quote Square Enix as saying:

a player must register his/her copy of the game no later than Thursday, May 31, 2012"

Then you re-write this quote in your second post:

must HAVE PAID for 3 months BEFORE May 31

Registering and paying are two totally separate things. As soon as you install the game and start playing the free trial you are required to register. Even if you quite playing after your one month trial is up, and NEVER pay a dime to play again, you still "registered" your game when you launched it.

Secondly, the 2.0 Beta is Free to Play, so they would not make you buy a 90 day subscription on May 31st then start the FREE beta a few days later. Therefore if you get 30 days free trial plus 90 day subscription for Legacy = 120 days total putting us roughly September 27th as the EARLIEST date they would pull down the old game and start launching the new game.

But, as we all know they are usually 1-2 weeks behind schedule on their patches (plus they probably set that date a little early on purpose to ensure ppl have time to get it in) so I would guess we are looking more at first or second week of October as the launch of 2.0.

Hopefully we will get some answers in two weeks at E3!

I'm sorry all. I did read that a few more times more and now I get it. (I'm french, some times I don't understand everything on the first read).

Still, if it means the beta would be around october that is good to know!

No problem, glad we could help clear it up and glad you are enjoying the game. E3 can't come soon enough!
