LEGACY question!

[Eruantien]

Just got my legacy status on Saturday. Here's the deal:
Nobody knows an official date when the servers are going down, probably not even SE.
Nobody knows when closed alpha, closed beta, or open beta is going to start, probably not even SE.
(this lack of a definitive date is a good thing, doesn't tie the XIV's devs hands to rush out a crap program)
The legacy campaign requires you to be subscribed for 3 consecutive months, aka 90 days(since some months have 31 days in them)
Further more Yosihda San said it will probably require a month to transfer account data.
And he also said he'd like beta(s) to run along side 1.0 until its time to migrate data to 2.0

If 1.0 runs until November 30 and the servers go offline on December 1st, in preparation for the January unofficial launch date, then your 90 day mark is October 28th. IF the game (1.0) is still up and running, there's a pretty good chance that since you paid you'll receive your status. However....

You cut it awful close, I wouldn't expect it if I where you.

The legacy campaign dates were dates associated with a time frame they KNEW players would meet. Basically everything past that date was up in the air, coin flip, etc.

Actually the legacy status finishes from when beta starts not when 1.0 finishes.

Hey, just wondering. If i paid for 1 month playtime in April, then I paid for this month (aug). Will I be eligible for legacy when I pay for next months subscription?

You should as it's cumulative and not concurrent...which people always seems to get confused by. That is if we are still able to resub in September.

Depends on your account creation -- if it was made in april it's possible, but beta is next month and you needed 90 days before the start of beta, so it's iffy at that point.

Jumping the gun a little bit, we actually have no solid date on when beta starts(unless something was announced yesterday that I missed). We only know that it will be in Autumn which is quite vague.

To OP and anyone asking in the future:

You're late. You missed it.

They said end of Sept/Early October with recent word that unless things get pushed back (but are currently on track) it will happen in November. There's no exact day of say September 26th or October 10th, but we do know the ranges of the first beta and it looks like they're still on track -- we also recently heard of open betas later in the year, so which beta they were referring to it's TBD, however we do know closed betas are right around the corner unless they changed that.

We also know there were 2 deadlines set - May 31st (new accounts) and June 30th (90 day plan finale) for guaranteed legacy status.

Even tho you are locked out of Legancy, SE is always doing promotions, welcome back things with items, options to get items by getting people to play and make an account. THeir will be more options in the future for you.
