You will get the choice of 3 field items, but it will be in order. First you'll get the 3 month reward offerings, once you chose your 3 month reward, you'll get the 6 month reward offering... etc.

Membership has Its Rewards!
So what exactly are they?
See I shareone account with my wife, I play on eclipse in the evening and she plays on wanderhome during the day. Problem for meis she logs in today while I'm at work and claims all the rewards because;
No where did it clearly state only one toon per account gets to claim them!
Guess I shouldn't besuprised bythis logic from SOE. I'd much rather have themunable to be tradedthan limited to one toon per account, but I guess only letting vets who earn them posess them makes too much since.
Thanks for nothing........really my toon which has been played DAILY since launch gets NOTHING. 
Hope my wife likes them........when she logs on and plays maybe half as often as I do.

The anti-decay kit is supposed to work with lightsabers but currently does not. We are in the process of fixing this bug. If you have an anti-decay kit and wish to use it on your lightsaber you will be able to do so once this fix is published to the live servers.
If you already used your kit on a different item, you can destroy the item to get the anti-decay kit back and use it on your lightsaber once this fix is live. Do not destroy the anti-decay kit!
We will update you again once we have a publish date for this fix.

HORRIBLE!!!
Onlythree rewards per account, PER character?! You should have the option to haveall threerewards on any server that you have a character on. Some people have multiple players on one account... so my wife got the 90/180 and I got the 360 reward... that's lame.

I like the membership rewards - they are a nice incentive for people who have earned them.
On the other hand, I disagree with the anti-decay ability. You - the devs - just removed the ability of weapons to have unlimited DOTs, but now you are giving players a way to make there weapons invulnerable in a similar way.
For instance, jedi crystals - sabers - etc.
I know a person who has a power hammer than has a max damage of over 2000. Making this weapon invulnerable means it will be around for a long time and any pvpcombat against himis skewed in his favor.
I'm all about senior players getting the good gear and being top dog for awhile. But anti-decay should arguably only be for clothes or a speeder - but not for weapons.

A friend of mine has chosen to let his account die... he has been playing for over 12 months..
Ihave just seen him do thisso take it as 100% Fact.
He logged in and was told he was elidgeable for a 90 day reward.... he chose the powerless harvester.
He then was offered a 180 day reward ....he chose the 30k of resources.
He then was offered a 360 day reward .... he chose the Anti Decay Kit.
He then told me his account was going to die in a few days and traded to me all 3 tiems
The items are presented as "Deeds" like a building or a speeder ...
The powerless harvesters description is as follows.... "This veteran reward lets you change one of your harvesters to use 0 power.
To enable this, select the harvester you want to change, and then select the "Convert Harvester" option from the reward's menu.
You will get a message saying that the harvester has been converted. And the reward will delete itself.
The Crate of free resources says only the following in its description " Crate of Free Resources" ( no other information )
now the intresting one... the Anti Decay Kit...
This is an anti-decay kit which can make an item not decay when a player dies or uses the item. To use the Anti-Decay kit,
both the kit and the item must be in your inventory. Place the item inside the kit by dragging and dropping the item onto the
anti-decay kit. Use the radial menu option on the kit called "Apply anti decay" to make the item not decay.
If you change your mind you can retrieve the item by selecting the radial option "retrieve". Only items that can be insured are valid
to be used with the kit, Items that are weapons are also valid to be used with the anti decay kit.
So there you have it. Hope this helps... but please note apparently the kit does not work with lightsabers BUT this is reported as a BUG
and will be resolved.
Have fun

This pathetic ..
the resource deeds suck .. terrible for the economy as it is..(people complaining that they can't cross-server farm these really need to shut up)
and if the item decay thing really does work on guns so guns dont loose condition when you fire them then that's obscene to combat.
Self powered harvesters suck too .. looks like I won't ever be buying energy from other players ever agian

well crap! I logged in and saw that I could claim a 180 day vet reward. I wasn't sure how it all worked, and didn't know if I was going to get a 360 day reward (thinking that if I was it would give that option first). So, not wanting to waste my reward on my main character, I tired getting it on a character that I didnt use that often, and come to find out, I used all my rewards on a character I never use anymore... This sucks, is there anyway to refund the rewards I got?
P.S. there needs to be CLEAR info on details like that. like in all CAPS and BOLD...
