If you did receive some extra Veteran Rewards for a short amount of time that you weren’t actually subscribed, please know that you can keep them and we won’t be removing them from your account. If you didn’t, please do not contact Customer Support, for this means that the new system now is in place and working as intended. Any problems you previously had with Veteran Rewards should now be resolved due to the switch.

That being said, we are aware of the issue regarding Veteran Rewards displaying incorrectly on the Accounts Management page. This is being addressed and we hope to have it resolved as soon as possible.

Thank you for your understanding with this matter.
Thank you for telling us this. I was wondering why I got extra vet rewards that I was not truly earn through paid sub time. I am the type that only wants what I have truly paid for. But since you are allowing us to keep extra rewards then I am fine with the extra that I got. I will not complain. Have a nice day Avatea

I'm in a very similar boat. Several months ago, one of my characters erroneously received the Vet Rewards up through month 42--and no others of mine did. I'm currently showing 18 actual, real, earned months of rewards on every other character of mine. Like Inokis, I'm wondering where I stand regarding this matter.

72 Month Milestone: Distinguished

  • Distinguished Badge
  • Inspirations are 5% more effective (disabled in PvP zones)
  • 1 Additional Character Slot
  • 6 Reward Merits
For the 72 month veteran reward, players receive the Distinguished badge, a 5% effectiveness increase on all inspirations the character uses*, an additional Character Slot, and 6 Reward Merits.
*The 5% effectiveness increase is disabled in PvP zones.


So, I hit the 72 Month mark over the weekend & got my badge/merits etc, but I did not receive my Additional Character Slot. Anyone else have an issue with this?

I am having the same issue, no free character slot.

my first account which i haven't played since it was beta and then originally went live, i only played it for 1 month then when i re-subed it, i got veteran's awards all the way to 30 months. all the while my secondary account that i've been playing more and have 12 month of paid time only got 15 months awards :/ can we flip that?
wished i could move my unlock codes from my secondary to my original account lol.

Heh. Funny. Like others, I'm showing up through 96 months on my Account Info page. . . .

But I guess I'm good to go on finally unlocking these freebie rewards I got about 9-10 months ago through a bug? Or not?

Okay, question, maybe it's been answered and if so I apologize, but I was bumped up 9 months. Does this mean that in 3 months I'll get the next reward, or will I have to wait until I would have actually gotten it (a year from now)?

Darn it, no free badges for me... *sighs* But I´m no bitter. Gratz for those who got them.
Kind of make me want the time traveling power to jopin beta and skip it (I would not have the computer to play this by then....)

They could solve all these veteran debates and problems if we were just allowed to buy time in advance and receive vet badges for total paid subscription length instead of how much of the subscription has already transpired.

If I had the choice, I would instantly throw enough money at NCSoft to get me up to the 75 month vet badge, then continue paying my monthly fee from that point.

I've never understood why NCSOft aren't interested in me paying them free money or the equivalent of a lifetime subscription. $105 is on the counter right now, for my 7 missing vet badges - why won't you rob me already?

Zooombiieeeee threaaaaddd....

Ahem. Anyways. It's called VETERAN badges. Not How-Much-Have-You-Paid-NCSoft badges. Veteran badges distinguish new players from experienced players (usually) and in general, it is a reward for people who have stayed with this game for so long and experienced all the ups and downs. It also tends to stroke the ego of some people and make them feel like they're VIP or something cause they have 75 months worth of Veteran badges, but that's another topic.
