See above.

Yes, it would really be a big deal if something unique was given at second year, and each additional year.

I think this is one of those things that says a lot, OSI realized that along the way. Could even have min amount of required playing time, this would encourage sticking around and being active.

I inquired about this a little over a year ago and have had a few converstions since with +Colibri about this with the last one a month or so ago. However, I had suggested that the rewarwds be based on days with the next reward coming at 500 days, then 750,1,000 days and finally 1,500 days plus. I suggested receiving a certain account bound blessed item of your choice with progressive properties for each milestone and a unique title for each. Example: 500 days - (Item)of Loyalty with say 100 luck, +3 each stat, some regen , etc...; 750 days - (Item)of Endurance with 200 luck, +5 stats, +1 to resists, added properties etc...; 1,000 days - (Item)of Legends with 300 luck, +8 stats, +3 to resists, etc...; 1500 plus days - (Item) of the Elders with 400 luck, +10 stats, +5 resists, other properties and maybe a +50 craft tool of choice. +Colibri actually expressed interest in the idea, however I know there were a lot more important things to work on than this. Maybe this new interest from other players will help reassign its priority.
I envisioned a player going to a Reward Stone and d-clicking it. It will check your account age and open the appropriate menu. You get a choice of items to select from, each having base standard properties for your age like the title, bless, luck, stats and resists. After selecting your item, then you are given so many points to select what other properties you want to add to it, just like a levelable weapon. By the way, if you think I am reaching on what I envision, some of the ideas listed above came from +Coli himself.
I have always thought that players who have been loyal to the shard like Highroller, Krazy G, Anarchy, Melkor, Kitty Hawk, Durek, etc should receive something special if not just a title to wear proudly.

HUGE +1 to this.

Besides a solid +1 to the above post.. would like to add an idea upon it.

Perhaps us the totem layer, currently nothing else uses it and would be something that if you got.. you would and could wear. This would allow players who qualify for such rare items stand out. My view is this would be something that would not get lost in all the chaos of relayers and would stand out by itself. There would be nothing better then being loyal to the server and receiving one of these items.

I might even put an additional qualifier beyond the account age, the amount of time the account has played. Nothing to aggressive but someone who vanishes for months on time in my opinion should not be confused with like Krazy G who is here regularly. (I barely qualify for these things so am using Krazy as an example)

That's an excellent idea! Using the totem/talisman spot is exactly what I was imagining. Plus, since it would be in a unique slot, whenever you become eligible for the next level, your previous reward would become a nice addition to your house deco.

Also, using a days versus hours played ratio would be a good way to ensure someone who sat out 6 months isn't automatically eligible.

The only problem with hours played is for those that play on multiple characters. Or in my case, deleted an old character and now play on a new one. Same account with over 2 years on it, but I'm on a fairly new character.

Love the totem idea thu.

If you do an [account you will there are 3 numbers:
1. Account Age (Currently what is used for all vet rewards
2. Account Playing Time (Amount of time this account has been connected to the server)
3. Char Playing Time (Something close to what you were talking about)

I am fairly sure (not 100% that is why merely an idea) that Account Playing Time counts deleted chars as well as active chars.

Oh, thanks for clearing that up Nel, I thought it was just character playtime and account age. But I do see account time played when i type [account, and it is counting the time on my old character, so yea, no issue there. thanks.
