Legacy Account: rewards for those who paid for 30+ days after 1.0's free period ended (Legacy Chocobo & discounted subscription fee) NO LONGER AVAILABLE
Legacy Character: any character created before 1.0 shut down (this doesn't mean much but sometimes is referring to a character with now unobtainable items, Goobbue Mounts, Dalamud Horn, meteor tramp stamp, etc.) NO LONGER AVAILABLE
Veteran Bonus: rewards for having paid for X amount of days in ARR (Ahriman Mount, Beady Eye minion, Black Chocobo Chick minion, etc.)
Pre-Order Bonus: rewards for pre-ordering ARR or having already owned 1.0 (2-3 days early access, Cait Sith Doll minion, Mog Cap)
ARR Collector's Edition Bonus: rewards for purchasing ARR-CE or having already owned 1.0-CE. (Coeurl Mount, Helm of Light, Behemoth Barding, Baby Behemoth minion)
Old Bonuses: rewards from 1.0 that are unlikely to be re-obtainable (Garlond Goggles, Asuran Armguards, Hermes Sandals, Onion Helm)
Purchase Bonus: rewards for alternate purchases (Wind-up Dalamud minion, etc.)
I might be foggy on whether or not simply owning 1.0 gets you all of the pre-order bonuses or just the early-access...
