I'm under the impression the loyalty stuff above is account wide. It's only the anniversary event badge that's per character and based on login. Hell, I assume that so long as you have an active (meaning paid for) account for the specified duration, you don't even have to log in and you'll get the free stuff.

It'd be really nice if you guys would move to account wide for all anniversary items instead of per-character. |
I think this is similar timing to the previous loyalty program - which was also designed to "defend our world"

Woohoo, the global Vanguard pack is an AMAZING idea!
I would also support Roman and Rularuu packs that work similarly.
This is just a suggestion, but have the art team thought about making Resistance and loyalist alignment emotes too? Like as a way for Praetorian avatars to show their origin even when they've escaped to Primal Earth?

Wow, I love the news!
Cant wait to have those emotes, the chest emblem and the Vanguard goodies.
I just hope this account-wide thing becomes a trend!!
Animal parts looks nice! Btw, what is the cheetah girl wearing as top?
This is awesome news.
Cant wait for I19.5, Animal pack, this and I20. So damn excited!
Can we get this as a wallpaper but with out the CoH logo and the Vanguard pack at the bottom?

This looks like the best anniversary yet!
Thanks in advance for the epic 7th anniversary (and all the awesome stuff that's coming with it)!
With that said...*nabs the MVAS and runs off* Mine!

Me: Man, I feel like crap today because of this darned flu. I hope there's something awesome on the COH site related to issue 20 or the new booster to cheer me up.
Avatea: Free Goodies! Free VANGUARD-THEMED Goodies! Oh, and take a look at this nifty cat head that may or may not be in our upcoming booster.
Me: Mission Freakin' Accomplished, NCSoft!!!
First, I have a lot of characters that are the children of a Vanguard scientist, so I'm really getting a kick out of the idea of miniVAS running around the house.
Second, the two animal heads I've seen so far give me a LOT of hope that the new booster is going to be awesome.

First we're buying our way around costume unlocks, next thing you know they're selling us a way to get around particularly boring levels. I DON'T LIKE WHERE THIS IS GOING.

Is this how they plan to keep us paying for the game while we wait on Issue 20 to be released some time after April 18th?
Yes please, and thank you. :3

Friendly, helpful and surprisingly light on the drama.
Save our game Master post.
Noice!
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
Nice!
And yeah, waiting for the first complaint... hmm, does this bit of wet-blanket-ness count?

All City of Heroes customers who maintain an active City of Heroes account from February 1st, 2011 to April 18th, 2011 will unlock the Vanguard Pack for free on their account by April 28th, 2011. The Vanguard Pack includes all Vanguard costume pieces including:
These are all normally purchasable in-game with Vanguard Merits on a per-character basis. However, the Vanguard Pack unlocks these features account-wide on all of your characters. The Vanguard Pack also comes with a unique in-game, non-combat pet, the Vanguard MVAS (Miniature Vanguard Assault Suit), a miniature, non-combat replica of the Vanguard HVAS (Heavy Vanguard Assault Suit). |
This sounds awesome!
However, and I'm not complaining, more like hoping beyond hope, was the Vanguard Shield intentionally left out of the pack OR just forgotten to be mentioned in this post?

I think the question every one wants answered is...
What happens to this Vanguard pack after the promotional period?
Is it going to end up in the NC Soft store for $3-5?
Or will it be given to the player base for free at some point down the line regardless of account activity?
And the MVAS well... ROCK ON!

"Hypocrisy, the human inherent." "Let not this work be wasted, apply yourself always."
Yeah buddy 
You devs are too cool for school
I was really hoping for some brand-new Vanguard-themed costume pieces, but this is cool.
I'm also wondering about the Vanguard Shield. Is it included in the pack?
Awesome Badge Badge BADGE!!! *cardiac arrest* I love the the vanguard pack idea. Always have the issue with wanting vanguard pieces before 35 on new characters. But now you should add additional items to the vanguard vendor to keep people interested in raids.
Friends don't let friends buy an ncsoft controlled project.

I think it probably will be, as they're pointing out that it's free for this period.
