Thoughts On Veteran Rewards?

[Talilon 57]

What do you all think about some sort of reward system for being a loyal player? 

There could be tiers depending on how long your account has been premium. 

 

For example the following tiers, and increasingly desirable rewards the longer you have played. 

 

6 months

12 months

18 months

24 months 

and so on

 

 

For every tier you reach, you get to choose a rare and useful reward from a list of available rewards with a value consistent with the tier. 

 

 

The rewards would have to be unique and valuable enough to encourage people to keep their accounts premium.

Depends on the rewards. ( needs to be moved to the suggestion thread )

Id rather have increased sleep bonus cap for total time premmed.

[silakka 2,360]

+1 to reward old players

Actually no, because it isn't even a suggestion yet. I'm trying to put one together to submit.

that would be pretty awesome too

Nah, not a good idea. Well actually it's a nice idea, but people tend to become very jealous if others get something which they themselves do not get.

There is that point too, something along these lines may end up dividing the community even more along the lines of veterans and newer players. I am still on the fence with such an idea.

I thought it was just a number?

Spyglass at 6 months, twig at 12 months, scale set after 2 years.

I think it would be more of an incentive to keep accounts premium, and don't really see how it would divide newer players from the older players?

 

I was actually thinking unique and valuable items that you couldn't get anywhere else for the higher tier rewards. Something that wouldn't really be game breaking, but useful enough to make it desirable.

Sounds just a bit too much to be honest.

Sure if its tiers depending on how long your account has been premium, payed by the shop

if not no ty

Think about it though. It's meant not only to reward dedicated players, but encourage people to keep accounts premium. I think 50Cent123 has the right idea, just not unique enough. The rewards would have to be valuable though, especially for the higher month rewards. 

[Elen 1,013]

It doesn't need to be big things at all.

 

Titles, veteran chat channel, forum titles, little stuff.

Im a bit sceptic about this suggestion. In wurm long time players do allready have huge advantages to newcommers. If the rewards are not chosen very carefully the above mentioned gap between new and old players can become even much deeper and thus harm the game. However, some sorts of cosmetical things could be appropriate.

I see what you mean, but also I see what Elen has said, and even just small perks are enough to keep people satisfied enough to continue coming back.

[Dextrome 123]

Reminds me of UO I'm all for verteran rewards, but perhaps make it so you earn a fixed amount of reward points for every month that you're premium. And then based on your account age you would have access to more rewards. At account age 0 you could have some crappy rewards, account age of 1 year some fancier rewards that cost more reward points and so on...

yeah, it definitely needs to be payed via the shop. and rewards needs to be something you cannot "get" anywhere in the game through crafting etc. maybe some visual things like special armor or different looking boat. nothing that would give you a benefit over the other players when it comes to skills etc.. yeah would like to see something like that

[Klinge 69]

One thing that i could imagine as a reward would be special, beautiful and thus very decorative banners and fans to be places on deed...

This, premium payed by coin should not be allowed in this category. Seeing as it doesn't support the game's finances.

[King 110]

As long as the reward does not affect game play(e.g. farwalker spy glass) and dont give stupid advantage in pvp than im all for it.

[Gregory 573]

Sounds a great idea if done correctly, I loved the rewards system in Ultima Online. Special dye barrels, cloaks (there's even a spot now ha!)

Just keep the items cosmetic as to not imbalance PvP and make them no drop. People can pick from 3 or 4 each aniversary level, with bigger rewards the older the account.

Big +1 to this idea.

Other idea's include:

House decorations

Ranger Leather Armor (no drop) special design

Titles

Pets cats, dogs etc just cosmetic

Starter/gift tools

[AlexLong 128]

So basically bigger amounts of sleep powder every now and again?
Joking, but it is basically what sleep powder is already just extended in to benefits for remaining prem. I like the idea and its also a plus to Wurm.
Problay have some sort of shot at this being implemnted one day
