Dear SE reward those loyal from the begining!

[fmonkey13]

Hi all,

Just a thought. This games was in a sad state at the begining and has made great progress since then. However many people have gone a away and only a loyal few have staid on from the very begining. I think it would be awesome if they gave those loyal from the begining some type of reward. Wether it is special set of gear, a special zone or dungeon only we can enter, the ability to play more than one chacter free of charge, or some other type of reward would be awesome and show they appreciate our loyalty.

Just my thought what do you guys think?

Just remember its probably very hard to tell who left and who didn't since we never had to pay. So then do you only reward the players with 50's? and how do you determine who has really stayed? Would be nice I certainly won't complain for something free and fun.

Yeah, this right here would prevent that. I guess you could base it on play time. Like, only people with so many hours logged online? I dunno. Personally, I think it'd be a good idea to reward everyone playing right now. SE needs to make more friends.

our rewards are that we have made more progress and dont gotta play catchup like those coming back

Have fun sitting at level caps with absolutely nothing to do for the next year or so. Also after grinding all your jobs to 50 via glitches and un-intended leveling methods with no doubt. Anyone who comes back from here on out will be more of a veteran than you ever were considering how much harder it is to level.

Not everyone who's been 'loyally playing' has all their jobs to rank 50. Also, while yes, from like Feb-July there was a guildleve glitch where you could keep repeating the same leves for good SP, you're forgetting a couple things we also had to suffer through to get to the baseline party/sp play you're at today.

WAY back at release SP was semi random/turn based...and was painfully slow for certain classes (esp. mages). Then they got rid of this (THANK the 12) and gave us a SP system closer to today's. The devs most likely 'made it rain SP' over the late winter-summer simply because it bought them time to work on developing storyline/battle systems etc. while those who were loyal, ranked up, since there wasn't much else to do.

As to the 'new people will be more of a veteran' thing, yeah, we've had to re-learn how to play at least 3 times now. We'll keep re-learning so I wouldn't pick on us too much. It's our patience and dedication that helped get this game to a point you're willing to play it at in the first place.

As to a 'reward for loyal players' Eh, a title would be kinda nice, but really letting us play for free was a good enough reward/incentive. But it is SUPER easy for SE to check and see which ones of us have been 'actively' playing. Your lodestone history keeps track of all your milestones, I can't imagine anyone who's been actively playing not getting at least one new milestone achievement a month. Heck ffxi use to keep track of how many times we KO'd, I'm sure they know who's been playing at least weekly and who's been more or less inactive.

That would be neat, but how would they know who has been there from the beginning? There are a ton of people who quit right away but left their accounts active. If they started giving away things based on play time a lot of people would get angry I imagine. They could do it for everyone who activated their account by a certain date, but I wouldn't say all of those people were loyal.

A special title/icon that can be toggled on/off (like mentor status from FF11) would be good enough for me. If not, oh well.

Give us a special reskinned onion hat with a bigger gayer purple plume.

Hi all,

the ability to play more than one chacter free of charge

Just my thought what do you guys think?

Actually can do this. I have 2 characters at the moment and have not been charged for either
