Legacy Eligibility

[Elexia]

Yeah, it's confusing but exactly why I emailed SE support to confirm that I would be able to pay for 90 days by the end of September.

I was just a little annoyed that Rjain implied the OP wasn't supporting SE when he stated in his post that he bought a collectors edition for full retail price. If that isn't supporting FFXIV I don't know what is.

Continuing to play and then paying to keep your sub active is one way of supporting lol. Buying a CE in 2010 doesn't necessarily say you support a company if you up and vanish thereafter.

Of course, it was only the tone that bothered me. I can relate to the OP and I imagine he's just frustrated that he's missing out on some cool bonuses despite buying the game LAST YEAR. I'm in a similar situation because I came back and used my free trial for my XIV account in June to play again. Only to find out about legacy a few days later and that I would not be billed before the end of June.

I don't fall under any of the FAQ policies so I'm trying to find out my situation :x

Considering I know people who are playing on registered accounts that didn't buy anything at all, I think he's entitled as a customer to express his frustration.

You milked till the last minute the free play and now you complain you don't qualify? That's what's wrong with America. People think they are entitled to things which they aren't. Everyone that follow final fantasy knew about the legacy campaign and everyone got emails explaining how it works. Now after all this time to come and start complaining about frustration... Gimme a break...

How many of you ever read your car manual? Yes, cars have manuals... Why am I asking?

So you don't complain that you got ripped off by the mechanic when you take it there...

By returning players they mean those that played before the start of billing. Say for example someone paid for a month, deactivated, just came back in June and will now pay for 2 more months by the end of July/August, they will still get Legacy.

I'm sure there's been a lot of threads like this so I apologize but I just want some information clarified.

I bought FFXIV on release and dropped money for the collectors edition and pretty much felt cheated with the state of the game like most people. I stuck around on and off for a while with the extended free trial but didn't have the money to spend on the game once it was lifted.

I recently came back and learned about the legacy status thing and wanted to know about exactly how it works. Most people seem to think that the end of September is when the servers will go down and thats then last chance.

Now I resubbed yesterday and have enough for 3 months but surely if its paying for 3 months then when I get billed in the beginning of September for my 3rd month I should be eligible ?

If I have to wait till the end of my 30 days then its kind of stupid, they already have my money and I don't see how this can really be a sorry for the poor state of the game when someone could buy a copy online very cheap can gain Legacy by buying a a copy in the last month or two.

In short I'm a bit mad and hoping I can get Legacy as it might actually keep me sticking around a bit and finally settling on a character rather than making new ones over and over again after not being able to pay (unfortunately the extra ££ add up for me at the minute). I really hope I'm in time for this and I still think people that registered their keys nearer the original release should have has to maybe pay for only 60 days or something seeing as copies of the game go for around £5 now.

Sorry I cant tell if I'm angry or fearful I wont get a chance to drop more money on the game.

It's not about dates. It's about how long you paid. If you paid for a total of 90 days you will qualify. If you only played for free etc, it won't count. It's 90 paid days. If you never paid and as of today decided you want to start at July 13th, you won't qualify. To anyone that never paid and wanted to be a legacy, you had to start by June 30th, which was the last day and keep paying for 90 days.

That's it. /thread

So you don't complain that you got ripped off by the mechanic when you take it there...

Except that even if you do read the manual and you know how to operate everything, that doesn't come anywhere near close to preventing you from getting scammed by a shady mechanic.

This thread makes me sad for many reasons My advice for anyone who is unsure is to just contact SE directly for specific information concerning your exact situation.

Dispite any helpfulness the forum community can give its really up to SE. And if you can get a reply from them (preferably in written form with a ticket/help request number) You can bring it up with them again if whatever they tell you does not turn out to be the case.

Arguing semantics at this point won't help anyone.

I love how hard this thread went on a tangent

i dont understand why someone would not come back to the game if they didnt get into legacy...theres a ton of us that stuck through the awfulness of this game and continued to play while all the changes were happening. doesnt really make sense why a person who bought the game and played for a month and quit only to come back about 2 months before 2.0 started to kick in feels obligated to be a legacy member just because they bought it at launch
