Having a new (<3 days old, as in, created this last Sunday) character suddenly be awarded another year and a half of badges - a character, mind you, NOT an account - seems to be some other, different issue.

Yes, got hit with this same bug.. ie. went from 33 months to 57 months on ONE character who now has access to all the stuff that comes with the bump.. no other character was affected by the bug or whatever it is.|

Huh. It's weird that only one character is getting this, and it's seemingly happening to random people.
I think it's one more thing to add to the long list of **** they screwed up a couple weeks ago when they started doing all that maint.

I never get the good bugs to happen to me

Had this happen to me a while back on one of my masterminds. Bugged it, and it was never reverted. Probably too much of a pain in the butt to revert.
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

Mmm.. you're probably right.|

Still, if it was for one character only and they never fixed it.. did they at least make the, uhh.. bug account wide, if you will?
I've gotten no response yet. I'm going to try paging a GM or something, tomorrow. I've held off using the powers, because I don't want to get banned for "exploiting" a bug, but if they're not going to care, I'll use with abandon.
And hopefully try and convince them to apply it account-wide. ;P
So, my account was one of the ones that got a vet reward boost by accident. Which has been quite handy! And I dutifully filed a bug report, and then found out it was a known issue and no one cared.
So far so good.
I was playing for a little while today, then hopped onto an alt to move some items around before deleting that character, then hopped onto a new character I've been playing.
And just got awarded everything up to 54 months. (my account is logged at 36-and-change)
I don't see an announcement about this anywhere, so I'm assuming it's a weird bug, but.. anyone else have this happen? It was particularly weird because I was logged in literally thirty seconds ago on one character, changed characters, and then got awarded the badges. Very strange.
EDIT: For extra weirdness: it only appears to have happened on one character!
EDIT 2: And it's definitely that character only, as one of those badges is for the COV pre-order helmets, and they aren't present for me at the server character creation page. I filed a bug report, but I'm still curious to see if anyone else knows what the heck happened.
