More free tokens, whee!
Great Gubbly Be-Grubbly! How many tokens do we need Lighthouse?? I mean, I am not upset or anything, but wow, some of us have a box that we keep under the bed filled with the tokens. 
There are a ton of vet bonus costume tokens, now another??
=@ @=
Well, I am certain there are a lot of people who can use it. Just, wow, they sure get given out alot, you know, is all.

So, will these be the old style 1 Free costume change per Costume Slot tokens? (eg, if you had 3 costume slots unlocked, that character would get three free changes) Or like the new vet reward Costume Changes which are good for one change total?
Also, theres probably going to be a comment about the value of the veteran reward costume tokens in relation to these free ones any minute now.

Sorry, wasn't trying to look. 
The announcment caught me off guard. There are people who will and do need it of course. So I am not looking at it in that sense... Am I? =O.o= Mew was just trying to comment on how they get handed out a bit, not that I am complaining! =^.^= I change my costumes two or three times a month! I have spent more time in Icon on some alts then in missions. =^o^=
Heh, I'm down to two left of my main who's been around for almost two years now. What I'm waiting for is the response from those who burned vet tokens/respecs to hear that there will be freebies shortly.

Thankyou Devs!

To be honest, I'm not sure. Blame me as the newbie 
I'd wager that they will likely be in the style of free ones given out in the past. Take that for what you will
EDIT: To follow up on this, the script is planned to give an additional 4 costume change tokens and should (barring any sun spots, tidal waves or other fun things) go up with the maintenance on 11/30/06.

Eh, don't care. You can't choose not to use a freebie token, but you can choose when to claim the vet reward.
While this is great news (and I hope it's one token per slot), I'm curious about what actually got changed in I8, since the previous patch on Sept. 20th.
I mean, in late October, after finally getting the 5th costume slot on my main, I re-created her original outfit for the first slot (it had been the Retro costume, from the PD contest months ago). Even with the name changes, and all, that occured in I7, I was able to make the costume just as it used to look.
However, logging her into I8 today, a look at the costume in Icon shows that Metallic body, face 15 (female), triange eye mask, cat ears, and one of the stripe patterns don't register. That is, something got changed to all of those pieces, so that I have to re-make the costume all over again.
Okay, I know that Details 1-Cat Ears went to the Ears tab (unless you have a hood or half helmet, then it's still Details 1), but none of the other pieces should have been changed. In fact, they are still there, in the same place, as they were in I7's code.
I like having new costume pieces, I like fixes to said costume pieces, and I certainly don't mind free costume tokens, but I'm curious as to what's causing all these costume discrepancies on pieces that don't seem to have changed at all. =0_o=

Peppermint Cat-- Lv50 Mewtant Ice/Eng Bls
Pep Cat, it may be that new pieces are "bumping" existing pieces in the database, so if you have one of the bumped pieces, it's suddenly switched to whatever was next in the list, even if it wasn't actually changed. My guess, anyhoo.
I suspect the tokens will be per slot, as they have been in the past. The intent of the tokens is to allow players to fix up costumes that have been altered due to changes in the costume editor. Since those changes can carry across all of a player's costumes, it makes sense to award one token per slot.
GIMME GIMME GIMME!!!!

Oh good, I got wings for Birdy tonight and she only has 14 tokens left now. I was afraid I was going to run out soon.

Yes....yes it is.

*EDIT* Also....wooh! More tokens!
Instead of giving out these infernal tokens every time the wind changes, how about simply lowering the price of costume pieces?

Personally, I could care less. I have, like, 40 costume changes on my older characters. I'll never go through them all.
