Quick question... Will the rewards be non-tradeable?

Please for the love of SWG do not make them non-tradeable!


Take a lesson from UO and make put a limit on them per account... Not per character. You get the reward one time on the character of your liking, maybe a choice of what reward(s), and thats it; making them tradeable. It will give them a great amount of worth and also bring people to start collecting.

Of course, vehicles and homes and mounts will require the player to be of the status to use but the house items won't... Just like on UO. You can put the replicas into your home and trade them but if you weren't 3 years you can't use the etheral mount.


I remember on UO I went crazy to collecet all the miniatures.






  • The choices are per account.

  • The items are tradeable.

Let me see if I understand this correctly.


Every 3 months I can choose a 3 month gift right? Is there a timer that resets that then waits for the next time you can choose again?


Let me try again.


3 months go by and I get a 3 month gift. Another 3 months go by, does this mean I can now get a 3 month gift AND a 6 month gift? 6 more months go by, does this mean on the way I get another 3 month gift, a 6 month gift, and NOW the 12 month gift?


I feel confused.


*sucks thumb*



Guess I'll just wait till June which will make it 24 months for me, making me eligible for the AT-PT. But does this mean I can not get any other gifts in fear of restarting the timer again and having to wait minus x amount of months from 24?





No. Let's assume you created your account today. The way it works is after 3 months you can choose one 3 month reward. Three months later you could choose one6 or 3 month reward. At 12 months, you could choose one 3, 6, or 12 month reward.


The intervals are 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and every 12 months after that.


So if your account has been active for 12 months or more as of now, you will be able to select three rewards total. You'll get your next choice when your account has been active for 24 months.










Thanks for the reply.


So if I want to claim a 24 month reward, I should not get a 12 month reward when this reward system comes out. Otherwise I would have to wait another year to get the 24 month reward?








It's not based on when you make your choice, it's based on your account. So if you account is 15 months old you'll get the 24 month reward choice 9 months later no matter when you select your rewards. There is no reason to wait to make your choices.






So the only consequence is choosing which gift when you are eligible for them?


Since my account was created on the first day of launch which makes me up to 20 months or so today.


When this new system goes into effect I'll be able to get 3 of each 3 month reward, 3 of each 6 month reward, 1 12 month reward, and then another 12 month reward this june along with the 24 month reward.


This reward system is probably really simple, but I always over complicate things.

I love the rewards! Keep em comming!


The program looks fun, and brings options which is good as well. The value of the things will be incredible since you have to choose causing things to become very rare.


On the toys though, if you choose that catagory, why have us choose between 2 each time, just give both. You already have to choose 1 of 3 catagories sowhy not just give both gifts? There will still be a market for them, just wont be as high.


Hehe, my first first!

ok starting to sink in now
and at 24 months i'd get one reward of each i assume?


At 24 months you would be entitled to one additional reward, which could be anything off the list previously posted, or one of the (as-yet-unknown) additional rewards available at 24 months. Again, this is assuming my understanding of the system is correct.

The terminals are kinda lame... I can get those same teriminals for 560-840 or so FP from an imperial or rebel recruiter... Any chance of getting a unique, not easily obtainable reward in place of those?
