I bought the FFXIV CE 1.0 and played for a year or more (have a few classes at 50 etc). I know I didn't play AS much end of 2011 start 2012 because I had moved. I also had my FFXI account linked and discounted. I know I payed for at least 3 months of service because the FFXI account was being payed and they were linked. (Plus I looked at my CC statements to be sure)

I didn't really play much as the changes started happening in 2012 and didn't start playing regularly until until Beta3 which I played on my original character from 1.0. Got sent to the NALegacy server Sargatanas (but half the people I played with went to Hyperion T.T) When I was playing Beta3 I had the legacy status thingy in my account (the service account page) I noticed it when I was trying to get the beta code you sent me through email to work. I specifically remember it because I had no idea what it was and had to look up because my husband didn't have it on his account.

Anyways when Beta4 comes out I never played it because so many people couldn't get in anyways and launch was soon so I didn't worry much about it.
EA time rolls around and I go to log in and it says I don't have a valid account....go to the account services page and well the legacy symbol was no longer there....

Did I pretty much lost my Legacy status over not playing Beta4??

Has this happened to anyone else?

I'm kinda mad about it... I mean I know EA is over and I am able to play now and all but seriously I played as well as payed for both FFXIV and FFXI for a really long time (I mean I still use my ORIGINAL FFXI PassKey!)... I kinda want my Legacy status back =/ Beta4 didn't even work for half the people anyways!!
