Returned, Started in 2013. SE give me the Crown Icon or something special.

So I've been back almost 2 months and have seen players with a Crown icon next to their names, not the mentor thing but a crown.
Those players say it gives them access to Novice chat.
I would like SE to give me one because I started in 2013.
I feel it would be fair, I have supported this game since I was in my youth! 43 years old now...

That is all, that is my post.

You mean the mentor thing.


If you mean the returner sprout with crown, then that was a prompt when you logged in. If you hit no, we'll you are out of luck

It's called...the mentor crown. Good luck, have fun, etc.

If you mean the flower-icon (that isn't a crown, oi), I'm sure the system's returner-status-offering should have been showed to you. Accepting the question would have TEMPORARILY given you the icon.

EDIT: As the game likes to ask some of my alts, if they want returner-status, I believe 3 or 6 months minimum away-time are necessary to have access to that thing.

If you want the Burger King crown then you'll need to run 1000 dungeons (unsynced count) and 1500 player comms. to farm the comms you just need to play tank or healer and just be friendly/good at your role and chosen job.

Keep in mind the goal of Novice Network is to help out new/returning players.

So you haven't played for a while, thinks that you are entitled to something just because you pay a sub and probably don't even know everything about all the new stuff and game mechanics.

I would say you are perfect to wear the burger king crown.


Really.... When you don't even know were to get the information about game mechanic changes then you should not be a mentor.
Also the way you ask for it sounds more like you are a "you don't pay my sub" type of player who gives "learn to play" as advice.

Probably shouldn't mention an age when you're not acting that age.

You also need to have one tank, one healer, and one DPS at level 80, if I remember correctly.

I'm not sure 36 counts as 'youth'.
I'm 31 and I'm not feeling it.

I've been playing the game since my youth. I'm 27 now. Where do I go to demand SE gives me free stuff?

Oooh, so sorry. Gotta have a start date of October 2013 to get all the cool things. Darn shame, too. I do enjoy my free gil button and executive bathroom perk is nice whenever they fly me to Square Enix HQ to lunch with Yoshi-P (not lately, sadly. Stupid virus).

What the heck! I never got mine, and my account is months older than that! Thanks Yoshi-P. I'm definitely unsubbing now.

Note to self: Be more optimistic about my aging husk of a body.

Um, as others have said, that is not a crown beside their names; it is a sprouted flower which you can choose to have for coming back after at least two months gone. And yes, it gives you access to the novice network for 72 hours of game play time. As I have recently come back from a 2 month break, I know this.

And yes, if you choose NOT to say yes, you lose the option to do it. Believe me, having access to the novice network is actually kind of annoying and I think I am just going to leave it.

And yeah, as others have said, for the crown, one of each kind of fighting job to 80, 1000 instances, and 1500 comms.

There are a few icons which will indicate if the player is using a new character, just returned after not logging in for an extended period of time or classify themselves as Mentors.

The different types of Mentors:

If you want to become a mentor, you can find the updated requirements over at the " Mentor System Update"-page. Be kind to those you are grouped up with and you'll be able to become a mentor in no-time. Good luck! (^_^ )-b

If you want to get something special for the amount of time you've subscribed since 2.0, you can take a look at the "Veteran Rewards"-page to see what you are eligible for. You can pick up the rewards you are eligible for over at Jonathas in Old Gridania (X:10.6 Y:6.3).

I played in 2013 and came back late last year. The game is so different now that I'd be legitimately confused if they gave me mentorship while my head was still spinning from how changed everything became. At least level capping doesn't mean grinding fates 8 hours a day now :P

Oof, the entitlement is strong here.

Being a mentor has to be earned. It's not a 'veteran' thing because you've been playing for a while (or coming back after a long absence).

Ahhhh that limited time event! I recall it well. Sadly, that event reward wasn't available to players who started before October 2013... just those who started during October 2013. The rest of us got the bronze version; the gil button takes out money, and we get the SE janitor (who is a real nice person btw) and a bento box of half eaten sushi.

I started in 3.3 and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.

Replying to the troll that was rude to me,
You joined in 2017, I have nothing to say to someone of the likes of you. Go troll someone else, somewhere else!

Thank you for the kind reply.
Yes, I know of all the things that I need to get it.
Second, I enjoy helping people out as well as enjoying a network type of chat that is active.

Oh I'm sorry, let me make you happy and act an age that is more convenient for you...

just want to point out that what u are looking at is when he/she join the forums not when started to play unless he/she started on the forum at the same time. I played little bit in 1.0 era and have been active player before Heavensward came out.But i joined the forums Oct 2017

The entitlement on this guy though.

Ya know, I just thought of something...


TitanMen, is this you again?

I don't know if you're refering to me, but I actually started to play in 2014. I merely joined the forums in 2017.

Also, I am no troll ; you said you wanted the crown because you were playing since 2013. That is entitlement.

That being said, I can understand you not knowing what the crown was. Perhaps you should have asked what is was instead of demanding it. It would have prevented some obvious misunderstandings.

It's always the highlanders.

Please feel free to take another 7 year break.

Yes entitlement is correct, I am after all the warrior of darkness and light as well as being Khan Noonien'singh!
A dominant Highlander male. Tank, protector and in need of a title or icon that shows true, I am the King!

Though perhaps this title would be ok too :P
