Not even close. This ranks up there with the guy that wanted the devs to lower the monthly sub fee to ten buck a month because he was disabled and couldn't afford $15 bucks each month, and he wasn't willing to change what he spent on gambling and porn.

He actually posted his budget and listed his monthly porn and gambling expenses.

Please show your evidence that supports your outrageous claim. We want to see the reports that were generated by an unbiased third party company that conducted the marketing research which confirms that people are saying they would buy this game if only they had access to all the vet reward powers.

We even want to see the reports that show people are refusing to buy this game because they don't have access to the vet reward powers.

It's also possible he's confusing Fire Imps with MM pets.

Here's the thing. There are very few things the devs have come right out and told us flat out, "No. This will never be allowed in the game." The full respec is at the top of that list.

Right after that they told us that we were lucky they decided to let us pull 10 enhancements from a build when doing a respec. In their opinion 10 was being generous.

As FW said, they never said it was too hard to do, they said they refuse to do it. Big difference.

Don't get discouraged about making other suggestions tho. You just happened to stumble on one of the few things that will never happen.

I posted this in another vet reward thread up in player questions partly in jest but since this is the suggestions thread I'll toss it in here as well.

So here's my idea if the devs decide to end the vet reward system. I've also added a few things since then.

The 10 year mark would be a nice round anniversary. End it all with a special reward.

Permanent unique title: Old Fart <you've been around forever. They just can't get rid of you>

Emote: Get off my lawn!

Emote: Rocking Chair

Extra costume slot with a unique non-customizable 10 yr vet costume.

Temp power: Boring Stories - This power when activated puts people in it's AoE to sleep as the players character starts telling stories about how kids today have it easy fighting crime. Because when he was young he had to fight crime uphill, in the snow, both ways.

Social Security: a 1% increase bonus to Influence/Infamy, Prestige, and Experience to all characters.

Medicare: A 1% Health and Stamina bonus to all characters.

Players have to choose between Social Security or Medicare. A character can't have both.

This looks like the appropriate place to post these links again.

I'm mainly going by what I remember being discussed from an older thread suggesting the same thing as the OP. They explained events that occurred before and during the first Rikti invasion, and it had to do with CoT and Rikti.

I'll admit I could easily be misremembering things, and it would be nice if someone who is up on the subject could confirm or deny my vague recollections.

Definitely not a threat. Merely an observation. Whether it's a blessing is a matter of opinion I leave up to the reader.

Eiko will never be another Golden Girl.

It doesn't matter if you were replying to another poster. You said it. You put your own spin on it in an effort to make it fit your point of view. Therefore it is your analogy. Just because it blew up in your face doesn't mean you can pretend it wasn't your argument.

I think it means that he's been globally ignored by at least 693 people.


Oh and that pic has obviously been shopped. Even I can spot it.

I see someone is off his medication again.


2 character slots $9.99
1 server transfer $9.99

5 character slots $19.99
5 server transfers $49.95

Sorry Alt but your math is way off.

So here you even admit a simple server transfer could easily cost more than buying additional slots.

This has absolutely nothing to do with adding more slots per server.



Yeah Alt definitely needs to up the dosage on his thorazine.

I can see why you chose 99, but if they ever do decide to end it I'd prefer they do it on an anniversary number like 7 years, 8 years, 10 years than stop in the middle of a yearly cycle.

End it with a bang. Make a big deal out of the last one. Have fun with it.

Eight and a quarter years? Nah. 96 months would be better. 8 years even, or the 10 year mark for a nice round anniversary. End it all with a special reward.

The only sense of entitlement being displayed is by the people that are demanding things they didn't earn.


Me personally no, but yes the reason this game is a continued success is the fact that it has so many loyal veteran players. All MMO's are successful because of their loyal veteran players.

So you want to punish the people that have shown themselves to be loyal customers because you haven't been a vet as long as they have?

Ok. <pant> It's out of my system. I'm done laughing.

Considering who was in charge back then and some of the comments that his new dev team said about one of the problems Champions had and one of the problams STO is currently having, I'd say your statement is very accurate.


See a few months ago when people were complaining about the content gaps in Champions their devs said they never expected players would use their travel powers to hop from mission to mission. They expected that everyone would stay on the ground and slug their way slowly thru hundreds of spawns, and doing so would provide the players the exp needed to level up thru and past the content gaps.


STO is also having the same problem being content lite with the exception that in that game the random encounters are all instanced "Deep Space Encounters".

End result is that everyone knows that a certain developer never learns from his mistakes.

Uhm. Anyone can get hover at level 6.

According to game lore there used to be underground trains and I believe they shut them all down because of CoT incursions.

I'm sure some of our historians can correct me if I'm wrong, and/or provide more details.

The same can be said for the vets who patiently waited and earned their 66 months of vet rewards. So changing the system so you can get the stuff they waited for now would be grossly unfair to them.

Thank you for providing the argument that supports why the system should never be changed.

Just to clarify, I myself wouldn't remain on just one server. However regardless of whatever limit the devs choose to give us (except unlimited) I would strive to fill it.

The reason I have 2 accounts is because I can't fit more characters on my preferred servers, and the ability to do things without nvolving third parties.

They can add another row of slots without giving us any slots for free you know. They could add as many rows as they want. You'd just have to buy the extra slots like you do now.

And as to how many slots is enought . . . I have over 100 characters spread across 2 accounts. How many do you think would be on the same server if I hadn't run out of room.

I pretty much agree with everything but I'm in the make them global camp.

Let's not forget about the base designers priorities. A person who rarely uses teleporters isn't going to care about putting them in an easily accessible location. He or she is going to build the base according to his/her idea of what's important.

Your needs aren't going to be the same as mine and we both may not agree with someone building a base for a huge group.
