    I'm questing around for the impossible really, someone with a Final Fantasy XIV account. Now oddly enough, I actually own the game. I've spent the money on it and I've had the copy for two years, I just never installed it and never activated a character account --- ever. But it turns out that even owning it now means nothing, as you only get liberties if you have actually activated a character during the game's brief run -- especially Legacy.

    Does anyone know anyone who may be willing to give up their Final Fantasy XIV character and account they never play? Even better, anyone know someone with a Legacy account? I'd be willing to trade for it, or heck even more! I have an unopened Guild Wars 2 Collector's Edition sitting around complete with account key and Deluxe Edition content which is a $200 I'd gladly trade.

    Please hit me up. :D

    That is gonna be really hard to do now. The people who have a Legacy account are usually the people who love it and stuck around. Also with ARR coming around I doubt anyone would let go of their account just in case ARR becomes a major hit. The good thing is I am sure that ARR will only be $30 for PC, $40 for PS3. At least that is what I am seeing companies pricing it for.

    Well I own FF XIV already, so I won't have to buy FF XIV ARR. Right now I just would like an account with a character on it, Legacy or not.

    I would try to activate your account and see if it works... The FFXIV servers are no longer saving character data. So I dont know if it would be valid to receive ARR free. I would try to create an account and create a character. See if you can get in ... PM me if you want me to meet you there to make sure its working. If it works then I am sure ARR will be free for you.

    I tried that. They disabled Character Creation until ARR. I own the game, have the receipt and everything -- I purchased it two years ago! I just never played it. Now it's just worthless. :(

    Well there should be some legit way to get compensation for my copy of the game. It's bit a unfair that even though I dished out money for it I still can't do anything with it, even though I want to give them money and support their new venture. I'm left out!

    If you have an Unopened package with the receipt still. You can probably return it to the company you bought it from. If its Walmart, with enough bitching it'll happen.

    Lol should of just set it up... I mean it was free subscription for about 1 1/2 years, hell even people who were playing on buddy passes had that much time to play before turning it into a full account.

    Well SquareEnix support pretty much says I'm SOL too. They did say I don't have to buy FFXIV ARR when it's Released (like I care?). So I really need someone to lend me their account, but they must have had a character active on it before September 30h 2012.

    So far I'm very pleased with the Alpha. I can't give specifics, but the game has come a long way and I feel all of the changes have turned FFXIV into a really pretty solid new game. I look forward to seeing how it grows.
