PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF "G" READ THE THREAD
BEFORE YOU ASK AGAIN HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS!
Here is the recap, already stated numerous times in this thread by Tiggs:
The rewards are given PER ACCOUNT not per character.
You get a reward at the 3 month, 6 month, 12 month, 24 month, 36 month...and so on for every 12 months after.
You DO NOT get a reward every 3 months, nor do you get one every 6 months.
After your ACCOUNT (not character) has been active 12 months, you will have gotten rewards at the 3 month mark, the 6 month mark, and be eligible for your first 12 month reward...for a total of 3 rewards.
You will be able to select 1 reward equal to or lesser than your current level at each mark.
Example: At the 6 month mark, you can select 1 of any reward from either the 3 or 6 month groups. You should already have a 3 month reward in your inventory.
Example: At the twenty four month mark, you will already have 3 awards in your inventory, and will be eligible to select one more reward from any category.
If you don't select a reward at the date of your anniversary, you can go back and select your reward at a later time.
Example: At the 36 month mark, you will end up with a total of5 rewards in your inventory.
These rewards are tradeable.
The rewards are retroactive.
Example: If you have already been in the game for a year, you will immediately be able to select 3 rewards.
The no-decay reward is for one insurable item only...if you cannot insure it, then it cannot be used.
Example: Houses, speeders, and factories are not insurable, so the anti-decay kit cannot be used on them.

Another addition. I played Ultima Online and their Vet system works with character age as well, however the older you are you get more rewards. I think it would be a great idea for players and DEV's alike to allow us to recieve 1 item per year on the account as well as a choice between awards from 3-24 months etc and until account age grows.
Another thing I was gonna mention was an item color tool. To be able to color Weapons, Armor (especially Mandolorian) so it can give a unique look to the holder of that item(s).

Actually I can't take any credit for this (other than helping to write the update) - this was a total team effort.

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.

Am i the only one who thinks all those bar the terminals and seating suck?
This place will turn more like into an SWFG (star wars fan galaxies) than a replica of the movies.

little miniture versions of models already ingame? they look like kids toys and cost 0 for the devs to make in 'creation' time. All but the YT seats are lacking in imagination.
If ya ask me, they'd of been better off offering stuff that's *decent* as rewards, like with 1 slot of your char, you can place a full size ship model of your ship on the ground near your house.
Or MORE vehicles, which is seriously needing more of, or MORE starships which is *deseperately* in need more of.
I dunno, maybe im an old cynic, it just seems to me they are trying to make players go 'oooooh' over things they've done no work or invested no time in whatsoever

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!
