I need help

[Nervusbreakdown]

I have bought the old FFXIV version but I only played the free month, at that time a read that FFXIV was in the world of trouble and they were thinking of pulling the plug. So I stopped.

I was kinda upset that I have bought the game and its just sitting here doing nothing, I did the beta and I loved it but I am afraid that it might end up going the same route.

How SquareEnix will those who bought the game from the first one making sure that they will not get burned again.

By the way I did buy the new game FFXIV ARR. Do I get some kind of perks or something?

Thank you.

Don't believe you can even integrate the new FFXIV ARR onto your FFXIV 1.0 account. You should just be able to login from your old FFXIV 1.0 account and start playing. Recommended course of action is to return your copy of FFXIV ARR if you already had a 1.0 account.

They did bring back my old copy of FFXIV character on a legacy? what does that mean?

Legacy members are only players who have had at least 3 months paid subscription time on 1.0. If you only played the 30 day free, you do not qualify as a legacy member and you don't receive any perks. The only benefit you do get is that you can start of using your old character in 1.0 if you choose to instead of starting completely over.

Also, as far as I know, only legacy members get the PC download for free. Otherwise you'll have to repurchase the game.

This is incorrect, if you had a 1.0 account you do not have to repurchase the game, legacy or not. Log in to SE account management and you should be able to get the new client.

I stand corrected. I haven't had a non-legacy person tell me otherwise.

I can verify that this is incorrect. I am not a "Legacy" marked player but I don't have to buy the game. Additionally, if you bought the original 1.0 CE, you get ALL ARR CE items as well. So you get your onion helm, and all of the new CE items. You also get 14 free days of play. So to recap...

1.0 Non-Legacy: Get ARR for free + you don't have to pay for service until Sept 10th
1.0 CE Non-Legacy: Get ARR for free + you don't have to pay for service until Sept 10th + all 1.0 CE items + all ARR CE items
