No EA for V1.0's?

[kwarfire]

It would be nice if SE allowed V1.0/PAID at least one month V1.0 subscription/Non-Legacy/Non-PreOrder peeps with EA access unannounced or at the last minute XD Cursed by marketing devices once again XD Love this game, though. After reserving this game some years ago, buying it, V1.0'ing it, paying & playing it, discontinued by SE... F-I-N-A-L-L-Y... here it is again... to stay and better than ever!

I woulda' liked to see a Playstation4 Pre-Order perk, everything else can suck it hahaha But thank you Rewyen. I'll look into PC-FFXIV-CE. ;D Also, thank you "Tis the night before EA" dude. I needed that for weekend FFXIV celebrations XD

Oh and MysteriousRonin, I feel that the YoshiClaus spirit will be with you come winter(Or summer depending on where you live) XD Thanks, man. If I see ya in Balmung, I'll make sure to /regen ya haha

I be in the USA (said w/ friendly American attitude)

I'm Legacy but I also agree that 1.0 players should get early access. I see no reason NOT to give 1.0 owners early access as in all fairness they have paid for the game. I hope this discussion doesn't turn beta forum style flaming.

[ispano]

I see no reason TO give it to them. Early Access is something given for pre-ordering a game, a sort of incentive. This was done with the 1.0 CE, it was given to those buyers 1.0. It was consumed in 2010. This is irregardless of whether you liked the game or not.

So they've done it again with 2.0. You pre-order, you get early access, an incentive. 1.0 CE purchases got their "reward" already. Again, it's an incentive to pre-order. As for Legacy, SE decided to give that to them on their own, for reasons of their own choosing. Though I can think of a few on my own.

I would feel no entitlement to EA for ARR if I didn't pre-order or have Legacy. Those are the conditions SE has placed on it.

Wait wait wait .... Let me try understand this.

You want a perk because you didn't fulfill the legacy campaign that was advertised to you many times.
That is a perk for people that have preordered the game (hence preorder items and access)
Because you got a game that you bought 3 years ago and already used your early access back then. You also got to play for free because SE admitted that the game had its faults and didn't feel that it would be right to charge for it.

They are already giving you the client and the first 2 weeks for free play. What makes you believe they also owe you early access for a 2nd time round???

But sure why not.. Lets just make the 24th the official launch and everyone can play!!!! Yay!!!!
P.S this is sarcasm -.-

100% agree with this.

Legacy = discount and free ARR. Early access was added later. ispano starts the attitude problem ball rolling. OP are you in the EU I have a spare pre order code you can have.

[Pseudopsia]

One of initial benefits for early access is to stagger the initial blow to the servers. If we have everyone come in at once we probably see issues that happened in Open Beta again or long queue times.

1.0 players with out Legacy will not be getting early access no matter how much some people whine. We don't need this thread.

I never said I had Legacy. If you mean this part: "Though I can think of a few on my own" It means I can think of reasons why they would do it. Not reasons I feel they should have done it and did. Quite a difference. Note, I can also think of reasons they could have not given it to Legacy as well.

SE can add or remove whatever they want from Legacy, after the fact even. I could care less, if I had it or not. Legacy or not, all 1.0 players bought the game. Ok, so no difference there. Legacy paid for a promotion, some didn't even know about it when they paid for 3+ months, since it was released several months after SE started charging. Now, the people in between, maybe. But that would be a case by case basis.

Lastly, I too got a spare EU code somehow. People told me I could sell it, I gave it to someone who didn't have one.

So let's not start with the attitude comment.

EDIT: Almost forgot. I am a 1.0 player. Legacy? I might be, might not be, doesn't matter either way. I bought and pre-ordered the game again to support SE.

1.0 People had MORE than enough warning & heads up about EA & how to go about it.

On a side note I'm Legacy & registered EA. It wasnt that hard or expensive to do eaither
