Hey, thx for the update.

How is it possible to add /claim but not being able to add /teamduel?

Just wonder if you are able to add a new feature why not reactive an old one SMILEY?

Its been deactivated, so turn it on. We are used to have buggy shizzle.

Dont be ashamed SMILEY

What exactly do we have to do to get an award and what can we /claim? It sounds really cool, just wondering if someone here has played an SOE game where they did that.

Star Wars: Galaxies vet rewards were some decoration stuff like Holograms, Models, Rugs, big*** terminals that looked like the ones on the Death Star, mainly cool/decorative stuff. There was some useful stuff like a kit that made items not decay, but mainly decorative stuff.

Now, do we need more stuff in our inventories, that we can't trade probably when I'm sitting on 3.5 pages full of stuff (and that's the bare essentials)... SMILEY.

You sure? I mean, I've seen their ads in game and what not, but I was so going to bet on "Castrol Syntec" because I see their ads more...

Ok So I bought the game maybe a month  ago. It said  a free trial on the box, but it was expired. So I started paying to play right away, So not only did I not get a free trial month, but now your telling me the people who started before me, and now after me get the morbius code.  Am I just screwed or will  some of us relativly new players be given morbius as well?


It says one character on the free trial versions will get morbius. DO I have to create a new character, will this be awared to my existing character or will I get hosed in this deal?

Ooh, rewards and the /claim system sound interesting. I wonder what kind of rewards you will be able to get. It would be nice to see some rewards for high reputation with your organisation. Mabye agent glasses and an earpiece for 100 or more Machine reputation? Heh, I can hope.

Good news there, nice Other Side of the Looking Glass Walrus, it sounds great. :smileyhappy:

A quick clarification: The only current plan for using the /claim system is for the free trial. However, now that we have the system, we can do more things with it. What that is, is up to the designers.

this can fix soooo many issues...

someone was in beta but their clothes broke
/claim BetaClothes
(if account was flagged as beta then they get clothes, if not then they get a nice error msg)

keep them untradable so people cant make millions, everyones happy..

someone recycled their mobius code
/claim MobiusCode
(if account is flagged as eligible for the ability then they get it, if not then they get a nice error msg)

and the list goes on and on and on...

no more people moaning well i should have it and i havn't no more, or my clothes broke as they will no beable to claim them

The fix for this is just to make the Mobius code Tradable. If we can trade it there will be no problems. Please Walrus! SMILEY

Thanks for the explanation, Cal. I'm a dope, because I played SWG and used the system myself! I didn't realise Walrus was talking about the same thing.

Well, definitely set something up for long-term accounts aka "Vet Rewards" like SWG did. (3 month, 6 month, 12 month, etc. players with active accounts)

I`d like to make a comment on the following:





I’ve seen some comments from veteran players about how we’re making these Abilities less special by adding them to a free trial. Why would we choose to use those Abilities instead of new ones?


The answer is simple: Both Abilities are highly useful at early levels. It’s a great incentive for new players to stick around and really get to know The Matrix Online. However, free trial players will only get one copy of each Ability—not one on each character. We want them to get in and enjoy the game, but we also don’t want to make the vets feel their earned rewards aren’t valuable.





 Why would be choose to use those instead of old ones? Because the beta jump doesnt use any buffer space and if you pvp, you can remove the need for loading the normal jump giving you an extra few buffer units to load another attack/defense move. So your answer to that question is that we would use the old ability in pvp because it is an advantage over players who dont have it. Allowing the so called vets the ability to have extra moves loaded whilst still having the rather major advantage of being able to jump out of danger.


Personally I started playing around November `05 and I have neither of the beta jump nor the mobius code.

I think the both of them should either be written off or made available to all players. When you think about it I helped to test cr2 and what did I get? a cruddy cap thats no use to man nor beast.

 

edit* by all means give it away on the trials and such but you should make it available after a certain level to all players,, after level 10 for example when you earned your normal jump anyways,, then you have that option in pvp.
