XIV And XI On The Same SE Account?

Always a chance to come back, even for just nostalgia's sack.

***... dammit, I made a new page.

unleashing your inner crab is a martial art

I have a question, I've had 14 since it came out, but it's been not being paid since at least january, do i still get anything fancy for that?

reinstate your subscription before May 31st and you'll get the nice shiney legacy stuff at 2.0 :<

does that cost money? :(

i think so :<

they reverted to the pay system a while ago...gotta fund their red-headed step child somehow

What all fancy stuff do I even get?

shiney chocobo armor...9.99 permasubscription rate up to 40 max creatable characters...other...stuff?

^Legacy Campaign deets

and it has to be active for 3 months?

Im understanding that you have to/had already purchase(d) 90 days of service...i might be wrong...and i might've canceled half of my account without knowing and prolly disqualified myself :|

Well I got some email that looked similar to that but my account wasn't even active at the time :(

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/45205-How-to-Check-for-Legacy

this also seems helpful :< shows what the legacy emblem looks like and what the email looks like too

i havent seen either, so i prolly have to pay way overpriced ammounts of monehs Q_Q

You have to pay for 90 days of subscription. It can be in a row or it can be 30 days here, 30 days there etc, you need to have paid for 90 days in total before their offer ends.

Your account can be inactive when Legacy starts or whatever, doesn't matter, as long as you have payed for "over" 90 days since January, you will benefit from Legacy.

so if i setup my account to bill for 90 days...then i should be in...right?

edit: i havent gotten an email...nor have i gotten the magical legacy emblem...so im quite worried D:

So if I had played like 4 months when it came out, I'm getting fancy stuff?

The billing started on 6 January 2012. If you have payed any subscription since this date, it will count toward the 90 days. If you have stopped in the middle, it still counts toward 90.

If you setup for 90 days, you are fine. I believe they said they will announce when is the last day to subscribe and be within 90 days. I don't think I have seen this anywhere so you should be fine now.

I'm well within the Legacy requirements and I didn't get any email either. Don't worry about that I would say.

EDIT:

Here you go:

In other words, if you register within the next 6 days and select a 90days+ subscription, you'll be within Legacy's requirements.

If you start an account (= register your game) after the 31 May, you aren't eligible anymore.

FINAL FANTASY XIV Legacy Campaign (additional information)

yay thank you

actually if it's set for continuous i should be fine?

As long as you have payed for at least 90 days by September 1st, you are fine yes, continuous should pay until then.

herpderp ignore this

Still havent gotten my Legacy icon or an email :(

Has the payment gone through? It might also wait untill you hit the 90days to activate idk for sure. Could also try checking the official forum to see if they have a thread set up for asking questions about it.

I would think that when they make it available, it will be clearly announced in a patch note.

I wouldn't worry too much about it, really. It's SE afterall :p

I'm really curious about this since I know I have more then 90 days logged as paid (I think...) and have not yet got any kind of legacy notification.

Gonna be paying for at least 2-3 more months anyhow so I guess even if I didn't have it I will soon lol.

it says it isn't going to bill until jun 16 >_<

but:


:<

(and i still posted under the wrongright name ._.)

It is possible that them saying may 31 takes into account the free 30 days when activating your account... Your best bet at this point would be to check for a thread about it on the OF and ask there I think.

Found a thread where someone translated a Dev post..they basicly said something to the terms of "what time they have to -register- to get in"...so this might all be just SE being slow cause im NA :|

also: I lol'd at the buzz of a Tanaka maybe retaking XIV control XD

To clear up the confusion and provide an answer to that mindboggling question i had: Legacy status is given to a person that sets up their account BEFORE May 31 and even if its a new person. In the case of a new person before the 31st you'll get your Legacy icon after your free trial ends.

So,i just jumped through an amazing loophole and got a nice discount
