Haha.

Id bloody hope not.
Perhaps if it was a different colour, say pink... then it wouldn't *CENSORED* off those 5 people as they'd have the only green ones, and everyone else would be happy too " />

I wouldn't mind orange like this

Ive got it!

A limited edition, special, pink, "I'm a vet" T-shirt.

Would be a reward, as pointless as our usual rewards, not hard to craft for the DEV's (you cant tell me modding yet another *poop* with words on it is impossible) and would satisfy the desire for ANY reward system for veterans.

Odd, either I typoed or S-h-i-r-t is now a banned word....

Shirt

No you typoed it Puck. Shirt still works. I know that profanity is a big naughty naughty but I'll be darn-diddly-arned if shirt was censored.

**Strykre**

I vote for a shirt that says

" I subbed for X years and all i got was this lousy shirt"

insert number of years for X..

LOL SMILEY

**GypsyJuggler**

How about an item or a special clothing set with buffs that increase the longer you remain subbed?
For instance a coat that has +1 All Resist for every month of subscription since Launch. For those who've been around the entire time it'd be at 36 and for those like me who've been 'round a couple of years it'd be 24. Any breaks you took wouldn't count towards the points total.

**Gerik**

3 Month Reward
6 Month Reward
12 Month Reward
24 Month Reward

Etc... All based on your subscription.

QFT...
I would love to see veteran rewards come to this game...

**Croesis**

I liked the idea about adding a chevron for every year you've subbed in total... but the problem is you'll get quite a few people running around as triple chevrons and sooner or later everyone will get them...

There are perhaps 4 possible things that can be used as vet rewards; Clothing (with or without buffs) Weapons (although I'd prefer Org based reward weapons for Zion, EPN, Merv and Cyph) Special FX's (Not one given out by archive award, something new. Not perma but an extended timer, say 5 mins or so...) or finally an ability like a perma Shadow pill (although not one of the current shadow moves)

Possibly the easiest two of these are;

Clothing, but unless you get new models then they'll just be reskinned clothes, and if buffed give higher buffs per year starting at 22 in all to keep in line with the current scaled shirts then the next year you get another shirt or something with 25 in all then the year after, another shirt with 28 etc... Perhaps different in looks too... /shrug

Special FX's, yeah Rarebit would have to design a new FX per each year (Sparkly Pink Aura FTW! SMILEY ) but none of them stack with each other else you'll have someone like HT with like 6 FX's on at the same time At least you can activate any of them you want for 5 mins or so.

*CENSORED* please! I KNOW you're not going to balk at giving up your precious shirt, when you just got access to an ability you didn't earn in one of the two ways it was originally offered.

What a *CENSORED* hypocrit!

Wait... did they start giving out the Verdigiris shirt with new trial accounts too?

That doesn't have the slightest thing to do with my calling him a hypocrit, and you know it.

Let me spell it all out, since it seems that, in this case, the irony of his hypocrisy was lost on you.

One guy jokes that the first vet award will be some specific item that had to be earned through a specific requirement.
Another guy, who owns the item referred to in the joke by doing what was necessary to get it, states that they shouldn't use it in the manner it was being joked about.
The irony of this is, this same guy wanted (and got, I might add) veteran abilities that he didn't earn by doing what was originally necessary to get them.

I just felt it was my right to point this out. Your semantics of whether something is considered a veteran award or not has no place here.

No, it does have everything to do with it. You're pissed off because 'Veteran' abilities or whatever are now being given out due to the fact that marketing gave them to new subscribers. Those caught unfairly in the middle were just in their complaints. The new players weren't 'Vets' or 'Beta' players, thus negating the status of the abilities.

Nowhere has it been said that the shirt Havocide has is being given away so his reaction would naturally be the same as 'Vet's had when their oh so special abilities started getting given out with new accounts. If it was and then he said 'I hope not' that would have made him a hypocrit.

The shirt is not being given away like Mobius or HJ-B, Beta clothing is not being given away like Mobius or HJ-B so his reaction is quite appropriately the same as anyone with Beta clothing if they were to become Veteran rewards.
