Vetran Rewards?

[Matth]

Hey I know I'm not the only one who has been playing for over 10 years so cant us people that have been here this long have something for a reward? Maybe one item of our choice from the game? That would be good for 10 years. lol Just a idea and thought.

Its been suggested before and I think it could work but most of 14 stuff is vanity, unless you want a rme mog kupon for 270ish days.

Though I wouldn't mind seeing timecards for those stuck with declined cards and forced to pay with crysta.

Exactly what this game needs, a way to further widen the gap between vets and new & returning players!

By the way, you spelled veterans wrong.

Yes but for each 270 days of play time!

No.
In other words, No.

Maybe a timecard or special R/EX, not transferable, useless item that would show your years of activity?
I've been playing for about 9-10 years myself but there's no need to make newer players feel like outsiders more than they already do.

Im with Bukota, there needs to be a gap between us long time veterans and the people who think well if I have all this gear than ill be good and ill win. lol or like one of my suggestions 10 years is a long time, and to me people who have been here 10 years should at least have one thing out of the game they really really want, like me that would be the RDM mythic or Nirvana, I mean its an idea.

She wasn't agreeing, it was sarcasm.

Thought the italics might have been enough. Forgot what a hairy-scary place these forums are.

Thanks for the assist.

Brb, losing my religion.

Hello,

FINAL FANTASY XI has been in service for eleven years now, and considering how long it has been running, if we were to implement a veteran reward system, the time periods for receiving rewards would likely be very long. If the system were retroactive, it would be unfortunate that new players could not receive rewards for subscribing for something like eleven years.

On the other hand, if we chose rewards that considered the difference between the types of people that are playing currently, the reward would only be trivial and would only count for the time moving forward from now. I believe this isn’t really what everyone is looking for in a veteran reward system.

With the above in mind, we feel that continuous login campaigns and periodic adventure appreciation campaigns are more suiting for FINAL FANTASY XI.

I agree. I've played many MMOs over the years, and I've seen several veteran rewards programs. They always inevitably alienate a good chunk of the player base, since they didn't qualify, or started too recently. That's not something encourages new players.

The login campaign works, and it's got cool rewards! I think that's better than any veteran rewards.
