Excellent job on Veteran Rewards!

Post by Cygnus »

- First of all, I want to thank all involved in the creation of this. Your time and effort were well worth it and is another shining example why this shard separates itself from the rest.
- Secondly, for those who are curious, I do not hit 10 years until October, so if you want to see the Cerulean Dragon, you will have to wait until then. And yes, I plan to get it.
- For those of you who want to see the undead mounts, you will have to wait on someone else. That is not in my character to deal in creatures like that, no matter how cool they may look.
- And no, no matter how upstanding of a player you are or how good of a friend you may be to me, I will not sell any rewards to anyone who has not earned it yet. That would defeat the purpose of having these rewards. (And yes, I have been asked already.)
- Finally, I am the type of person who will plan out my spending points, so I wont have any regrets later. So, do not be surprised if you do not see anything new on or about me for a few days.

Rock on Excelsior! :dance

Ty for the post :)

Btw, giving/selling anyone a reward that they are not old enough to get yet, is not possible. There was a mini bug with ethies not displaying their limitation (the restriction worked, just wasn't displayed in the item details).

I've just been to the viewing area and it's truly amazing to see how much has been created from a system where previously I was just closing the gump everytime I logged in.

The creativity of what can be done with such an old game is top notch!

You have no idea how happy you have made me since the new vet rewards were brought to this shard.

After years of browsing internet, gathering housing and decoration ideas, seeing other houses were decorated with these huge statues and banners. I wanted them so bad. I never asked and complained, but was secretly hoping and waiting I could touch all these one day.

In the beginning of year 2017, our lovely GMs brought to us the biggest surprise.
I love everything about them. The ethy mounts, footprints (Many of us were testing and running around TC on the first few days :lool: it was so fun. Made a few new friends too) , titles, banners, statues etc

I am super grateful! :D :D :D

Vet reward dye tubs too probably. They are uni dyes with different hues?
