I know Tiggs have posted on it a few times, but I think that was only mentioning the Jedi rewards (unique robes, more powerful and uniquely coloured sabre), and the generic veteran player buff. I do not have the patience to go throe all her posts again to find the links though. The search mechanism keeps being unavailable when I try it
The one time I did get to run a search she apparently have never written any posts with the word "saber" in them, so it might be dodgy even when it works, or all the new posts may not be on there yet.

your reward?

an 'elder' title, and uh.... oh, yeah, you can start grinding from level 80 to level90!

If you can remember specifics about such a post, the SWGRanger.com front page has a search feature that will use google to search the forums. It works great when the forum search is screwy... the only thing is you need to be as specific as possible when choosing your search terms.

p.s. it's the second of the two search boxes.

From the FAQ:

Elder Buff – Increases to combat abilities, this buff can be shared with new players.

Elder Title – In recognition of your status in the game as a valued veteran player.

Profession Re-Allocation Option – All characters active prior to the introduction of the new game enhancements will receive a total of 9 re-allocation options or charges attached to their character to allow the player to test out each of the new professions once before choosing the final path.

Jedi Bonus Items – Power-enhanced Jedi Robe and Lightsaber color crystal and the opportunity to play as transcended blue glowing Jedi character.

10 Additional Combat Levels – New combat levels to explore from level 80 – 90.

Thanks Phenix!

Now, I wonder what that last one means... has anyone seen clarification on it? As it's listed as a "reward", it sounds like any existing player gets an extra 10 levels (so CL90 vs CL80)... but I'd find it hard to imagine that that's the case if a big part of the point here is to go for balance. This would be building in an "alpha group" of vets vs anyone new. I wonder if that's actually a "reward" for being a vet, or just a very unclear way of saying "you get to grind CL80 to CL90 starting the day it goes live vs having to level up from CL1 like anyone buying the game now".

I wish they would communicate clearly on this stuff...

It was vague, but a dev did eventually say the 10 additional levels were available to all players, not just pre NDE peeps.

that's what i thought. so really we get squat for being loyal customers and putting up with all of SOE's BS they throw at us.

oh wait, if your jedi you get some items that might be usefull, but if your not, oh well, who cares right?

Yup, again the Jedi are the alpha class, as they get more rewards than anyone else (though, us non Jedi may also get the LS and robe ).

We do get a nifty, never to be utilized title and (presumably...I know) underpowered buffs. I still can't get the letdown of the Wild Force Shard out of my mind (I was like "Oooooh a crytal the buffs both heath and ranged/melee speed! Woot, a 1 hr reuse timer! Alright! Wait...the buff is only for minutes? I can use it for 1 kill every hour...woo hoo....). So, I am guessing a 15 minute +200 health buff useable once daily...
