    Holy Moly!




    Good News for Veteran EQ players!

    As part of EverQuest's 6th Anniversary celebration, the game team is giving current EQ players (based on your total subscription length) one special Veteran Reward for every year that you've been an active EverQuest subscriber! This is very good news for six year vets! It means that you'll be getting six Veteran Rewards!

    Note: you'll find the Veteran Rewards tab in the game's AA user interface.

    Even better news: From April 11th to May 11th, any current EQ player can purchase a one-year EQ subscription for a special price ($99.99) and get next year’s Veteran Reward (based upon total subscription time) at no additional cost! And, for you six year veteran EQ players, this is a chance to get an exclusive 7th year Veteran Reward at no additional cost.

    A special note: Veteran Rewards remain with each character for as long as that character exists. For every year that a player has been subscribed, they will be able to claim the Rewards on one character.

    Veteran Rewards are as follows:



    Year 1

    Lesson of the Devoted: A character will gain double-XP for 30-minutes every 24 hours. When this reward is in effect, the character will be surrounded by a special blue-white glow.

    Year 2

    Infusion of the Faithful: This reward grants increased run speed for 15 minutes once every 24 hours.

    Year 3

    Chaotic Jester: Once every 24 hours, a character can summon a Bristlebane puppet for 15 minutes. During that time, the puppet randomly casts various spells that provide benefits or minor penalties.

    Year 4

    Expedient Recovery: Once a week, this "Back to New" reward summons all of a player's corpses back to him, and gives back all XP that was on the corpses.

    Year 5

    Steadfast Servant: Once every 24 hours, a creature is summoned that stays in the area for a half hour, buffing and healing player characters nearby.

    Year 6

    Staunch Recovery: Once every three days, a character is healed back to full health, mana, and endurance.

    Year 7

    Intensity of the Resolute: Once every 24 hours, a character's melee attacks, damage spells and heals are increased for five minutes. When this reward is in effect, the character will be surrounded by a glow of energy

    This it is subscription time. ie char A born in march 99 and buys 1 year subscription then leaves. comes back this year and buys another year subscription. Will only get 2 of the rewards. At least thats my interpretation.

      There is something very fishy about this.

      Followed the link you attached Maevenniia and that article does not exist at the time I am posting this. However I checked the URL and can find the post immediately after that item and the post immedaitely before that item. Think someone jumped the gun in releasing that news and they have pulled it off the website.

      Got to say though that the first reward is a real belter. Having 30 mins double XP every 24 hrs will really help out the occasional evening player.

      [EDIT] Did some more digging around on the SOE forums and despite the fact that the news item has been pulled, Kytherea posted this item in the forums.

      Yes folks this is the real deal. The Veteran's Rewards will be available after May 11th, 2005.

      Ice, the rewards will be AAs and they will be usable by players under 50.

      So despite the missing news item this looks like a winner.

          Its a reward that will function like a free AA ability. The level 51 AA limit is not cause by the AA's themselves only by the limit of not being able to earn any AA xp to use to buy them. Absolutely no reason I can see why an AA ability can't be awarded to someone below level 51 so long as they don't need to use AA xp to buy it.

          This is getting even better the more I read about it in the SOE forums:

          From Rashere:
          To answer another question...

          You are able to claim the rewards on one character per account for every year you've been subscribed. So, year one you can have one character with them. Year two, two. Etc. Once you've claimed the rewards on a character, they will upgrade on that character as you gain more. So, by year three you can have three different characters that have the year 1, 2, and 3 rewards.
