Thread: 2 Year Veteran Reward Idea

Well, as we get closer to the 24 month mark for a lot of people here, I had an idea for a 2 year veteran reward. First let me say that as time goes on, more and more people are leaving the game or they become Jedi in which usually they make their alt a Bounty Hunter. In the beginning, Jedi were awarded a second character for their hard work...


Well, now that everyone is capable of becoming a Jedi and it is fairly simple, how about allowing those that do not have Jedi at the 2 year mark the option of having a second character slot. We need the ability to populate our servers again and I feel that this would do it. If, however, the person decides to go the way of the Jedi in the future, he would not recieve another character slot.


Also, a lot of pre-existing Jedi will probably feel cheated if they allow this. So, I have thought of a counter-balance reward for those who do have a Jedi character that would not be eligible for yet another character slot. I was thinking maybe a new Jedi robe with a new look and style but with the added bonus of armor protection. Itr couldn't be enough to be completely over-balancing, yet I feel that a robe with an armor rating on par with standard battle armor wouldn't be too game breaking. We're talking an armor with like 3500 stats.


I am not a Jedi and I will probably never become a Jedi, but I have enjoyed the game for 2 years and would love the opportunity to have a second character slot without having to buy yet another copy of the game(have second account, but wife plays on that one). I think that giving a second character slot to 24 month vets would infuse a new breathe into the game allowing some folks to be templates they have never been before, like maybe non-combatant, but in their own servers so that maybe they could benefit their guilds or just enjoy being a noob all over again.

That would be imbalancing if it stacked with Innate Armour...

Why would I want another char that I have to grind up? Why waste my time with that instead of working with the one I spent two years on?

Sorry i dont agree with this ... becomming jedi is extreamly difficult and the extra character slot should remain a jedi reward. as once you are jedi theres not many other rewards.. and a new outfit .. compaired to a new account... sorry bro that in itself isent a fair trade off. personaly I want to see ither a landing pad structure , or a Player controled capital ship as a 2 yer vet reward.

Um, last time I checked, being Jedi is the reward.
And besides, you became a Jedi on your own free will, you weren't forced to do it. You shouldn't be rewarded for something you wanted to do.



I'd love to see a second character slot as a reward.

Extremely difficult??? Since when? Everyone and their brothers has a Jedi now a days. Before when there weren't a lot of Jedi around, this was a cool reward for them. Now it's a quick way for a newb who can in less than 6 months get a Jedi and double his lots, create a MBH and hold his own missions, or whatever for only $15 a month. I don't want to ruin my main character with becoming a Jedi. This is a good reward for those of us who have been here for 24 months. And capitol ships are going to be in the game already and yes they are player controlled!!!


Why not reward those of us who want a second character on the server for our 2 years of commitment regardless of how the game had it's ups and downs. When Jedi were rare, them having a second slot was a special thing. Well, they aren't rare anymore and a second slot shouldn't be only for Jedi now. I mean hell, they get to walk around with glowsticks and beat the crap out of everyone that tried to go against them... shouldn't that be reward enough?

Why not unlock your account and get the extra slot? You don't need to become a Jedi (well you have to become padawan but not get any more jedi skills). I did that with Bermag just to get another character (with my other account I unlocked to get jedi), I was so tired of not finding any docs to buff me so I unlocked to get a new character so I could have my own buffer (which is now less important).


No need to swing the glowstick (with Bermag I only did it once, killed a kreetle and got 8 Jedi XP lol)


You have to use 24 SP but at least 16 are useful whatever your character is (range/melee defense + speed/accuracy trees).

the extra character slot idea i don't think would work too well...due to the fact that i can have one in 6 months anyway, why wait 2 years to get one unless id get one for unlocking jedi...and one for playing 2 years.


Armor on robes...well...no (retired BH)


new look to the robes? jedi master esque layout with the brown/black cloack and all of the clothes inside like trelah in mos eisely? that might be kind of cool if it isn't already being proposed.


however im hearing that there are new robe designs in the works to compliment the new FRS but its just a rumor, and 90% of rumors posted are rumors made up so we will just have to wait for the FRS patch to be certain.


I'm still a big fan of advanced titles for people who have kept their profession for over a year; a suit of mandolorian armor? since pretty much nobody has one (at least thats the case on bloodfin) a special ship, a house with the original item limit(none haha),


you know as i wrote that i had an awsome idea, why not give a 2nd character slot (completely independent of the FS one so you do get 2 alts) but give 1 COMPLETE profession unlocked, id pick a crafting profession, something ive always wanted but struggled to find the time to grind correctly, and then have myself a bit of an income!
