Legacy Icon on forums

[Shougun]

I honestly think they should make a legacy2 for 2.0, where if you pay for like a year or something you can get partially what was within legacy1 like 4 free characters and a choco - I'm not sure.

Legacy1 was a thanks to the support during non optimal game play - Legacy2 would thanks for having loyal customers but at a much greater time period since obviously the game play isnt (or shouldnt) be the same issue.

Also things that where in 1.0 like Dalamund horn shouldn't be available in 2.0 regardless of what happens with legacy - neither should the "I am a survivor mark/tattoo" they have planned. As these are lore tied to something that only happened once.

The reason I think they should have another but not exactly a like legacy campaign is because the legacy campaign says "We gift our good customers, thank you" - which is great, people have a great sense of pride being a part of legacy. But not respecting any other future customers contributions would be like saying "we have our favorites - and you will never be my best friend" - certainty they appreciate all their customers.

I would think join date would be a bit misleading, seeing as I believe mine states my forum join date being in January of this year, when I've been playing since open beta/CE early start.

That aside, it'd be nifty to have a little badge in the avatar area somewhere. Yes there are pitiable people who would (and will) hold their seniority over newcomers; but in truth, it's not the shiny badge, it's how you wear it.

I don't get people hating on this. Its not necessarily trying to lord it over non-legacy members (I'm pretty sure MOST people are legacy by now), but how about just wanting it because we like our little prizes and badges of honor and like to display them just to show pride in them? Or maybe people just don't want to ever be confused with a newb?

If there was some badge to show how long I've been using the internet, I'd wear it, because apparently MANY people think I'm new to the internet just because I'm not jaded and apathetic towards people or their feelings. And then they proceed to completely disrespect me and think I know nothing about anything.
Case in point, there's benefits to not being mistaken for a newbie.

We don't need a legacy icon, you can use the sig.

I dont want to see legacy as a point of contention as I already imagine it will be.

You mean how PC players were automatically better than PS2 players in FFXI? :P

If someone didnt play well or didnt respond quickly in chat. "Are you one of those... ps2 users? /shudder"

lol
