You still didn't read the post with the dev's responses to questions asked.

Its your own fault for not doing your research before blindly grabbing your rewards. Sorry man. Your at fault. Not SOE.

Holy pile of Bantha Poo. This post was made to WARN others not to make the same mistrake I did.

I really don't give a flyin' rats tail if I have the friggin reward or not. I also think that some of the players replies to this thread, are not in the best interests of others. If any players can read the first post, and more clearly understand how these awards are distributed, then the purpose of the thread is fufilled.

Your angry because you have a character on X server and a character on Y server and you only get 1 reward for both characters?

If thats the case... quit being so greedy.

Your account has always been defined as the 1 point you login with and all characters on all servers associated with THAT ACCOUNT. If you have 2 accounts, you have to log off and log back in with the other account.

This is a reward for loyalty, not a free prize. You really want the market flooded with this stuff? I dont.






No. I'm angry because SOE did not clearly state that this reward was for one character per account. I logged into my test account this morning (not TC), got the message boxes, assumed it worked as the vet reward for the sub, claimed the reward. Logged off the server that I try new professions on and logged into my real character where there are no rewards because my test toon claimed them.


I have no desire to flood any market. This is not the first time SOE has failed in technical writing. (I spent 3 years in this field. They suck at it) I made this post to WARN other players so they receive their award on the server and character they desire.

Exact same thing happened to me, I am totally pissed as well. My problem was that I wasn't sure if I claimed a 90-day reward, I could still claim a 360 day reward, because the wording was a bit unclear. So I tested it on a character of mine in Tempest just to see how it worked, and then planned on logging my character on Bria on to get the ones I actually wanted. Now I have a bunch of worthless rewards sitting on a character I never use.Good times.


We should not have to scour the forums for detailed descriptions and instruction manuals on something that should have been made clear by one simple sentence.

If we read exactly what they wrote:



For The Field Items are limited to a one time choice per item per account. For example once you choose a Self powered harvester you can not choose another. You could choose a Crate of any existing resource (30k), but once you took that, you would not be able to take it again with a future choice. The For the Home and For Fun items can be taken multiple times.



Does this mean that we CAN take For the Home and For Fun rewards on multiple servers/toons? Can someone who has taken rewards on their main character please try to take a reward on an alt server? If not, I'll try it when I get home from work...

Why is that? They specifically address For the Field items. They don't get specific about the others.

One last thought on all this. Seems the Veteran Rewards are not really for the true Veterans. I mean people that have been playing since launch. (or thereabouts) Most of the "old" players I know have characters on different servers. Masters at their crafts, not just on one so called "main" server.


After more than a year of playing, who is my main? My RP charater, my "uber" warrior, my sit back and craft over coffee lady?


I adore SWG. Always have and I'm not leaving. Trying to decide who gets the perks is a tough decision. It's like choosing one child over another.

FYI I claimed my 3 minthe & 6 month rewards, then went to a trade lot character and could not claim anything with her. I Got the modles on my main, btw. so looks like you can't claim on 2 servers. That''s what I understood to begin with, and can now confirm

I feel bad for anyone that screwed this up. I didn't claim anything yet figuring I'd let others test it for me so I could learn from their mistakes. If you claimed it on the wrong server then try to find someone who made the same mistake on the server you want and work out a trade if you can, though admittedly thats a longshot. Maybe if someone made this mistake on TC SOE should consider helping them straighten it out since I can't imagine why someone would want to have those items on their TC toon. They could have done a better job of clarifying like "Note: If you have one account with toons on multiple servers you will only be able to claim the rewards with one of those toons so choose carefully."
