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.
