Legacy Solution

And that's all that they were really targeting, those who were playing the game "currently". It wasn't a " Everyone is going to know advertisement. If the word got out then that's fine, but it was really targeting for current players. If everyone knew, then a lot of people would jump on it for the three months and wait for ARR, SE would lose out on 60 bucks a person a year. "If" there 200k population and they all did it that's $12,000,000 lost.

So, I don't believe it was targeted towards everyone, just the current fanbase that stuck through the game through thick and thin.

Agree that was their target audience, but you'd have to admit they could have easily required you to have an existing account.

It's not SE is evil and I think you get me on that, I'm just saying "what you intended wasn't reality SE and ultimately you have to play in reality". But those few people affected barely made a peep, you were in that thread actually- :P.

For those few people I speak, as well as to promote kind response in telling people the event is over/how to confirm. Since some people's no's are quite bad lol

They could have easily Required that your right :P.

You know I could see this being as stupid a topic as everyone thinks it is IF it didn't involve real money.
The fact that legacy doesn't have to pay as much as everyone else to me is the biggest problem. I don't care about the choco or the name in the creds. But when you start adding real life money into the mix, that's when I have a problem.

Oh well. I'll still play. It's just tough luck I started up again too late.
For all you non-legacy players out there just remember. Your monthly sub is more helpful to SE then the Legacy people. Maybe that will make you feel a little better.

Probably not.

Didn't they say players still have a chance to get a legacy status after the first three months of release date?

It would be a good idea for them to be returned.

No they did not. Show me where "they" said this. You either got it or you didn't. I'm glad they are not giving it away. People who stayed loyal to the game should get the perks it has nothing to do with being elite. If you was active and gave a crap about the game you would have legacy. SE even posted it on lodestone so it wasn't some big ass secret.

Sorry, I thought I remember someone posted on what they said so I was searching for it but can't find. You are right, Legacy is for players who wanted to support the dev team (I can see the meteor logo lol). I guess I posted it because I thought it's all my fault that cause them abusive after I trolled it on the alpha forums and went to the bed (I didn't read what really happened.) =/

Again, I shut up now. lol

In a way it was, and in a way it wasn't, It was a secret because of the fact that it was only on the lodestone, and anywhere else if people actually posted elsewhere. It wasn't a secret because it was right on the Lodestone, where all the info is usually placed. Like I said before Only people that actually cared about the game would " Actually" would have known for the most part that you could get Legacy. Anyone else? Well They didn't care about the game... so why should they get Legacy?

This red is all that is needed here ..and you might need to read my post again B/C your rehashing everything I already said.

Everyone loves a good TL;DR Right?

Just to borrow a quote for my reply ...

1. A whole web page about it on Lodestone
2. A HUGE jpeg on the upper left corner for months
3. The Producer Letter XXVII was about it
4. Further forum discussions related to it for months to come.

And people still bitch and moan about how they didn't know about Legacy? Do these very same people go back to their local retail stores and do the same bitching and moaning about the Black Friday/Cyber Monday/Pre+Post XMas sales they just missed? BTW, today is Dec 31th, you may still have one last chance on the post-xmas sale, better move your a$$ now if you want in on it.

Another thing and a lot of people seems to have misunderstood, SE gave this to all the players who paid 3 mos in a roll since first billing, and not just those that stuck around in the last three months. "The campaign recognizes those players who subscribe to FFXIV for 90 or more cumulative days during the period between January 6, 2012". Therefore, a lot of players already automatically became Legacy even before the campaign was officially announced.
