Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

That's not terribly helpful when it comes to the 87 month reward. Thankfully, VoodooCompany got his and told us what it was.

The 87 month Veteran reward is /vault.
Also, scooped by VoodooCompany and Ms. Mesmer! 
I can confirm that /vault is in game and awarding just fine along with the Tenacious badge.
I don't expect any redname post on it, because it will all be swept into the Paragon Reward program very soon. Arguably, they're better off NOT saying anything about it.

If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
Groovy, thanks!

And there you go. Again, I think this is all we're going to see because A.) not terribly many people are eligible for it, and B.) we'll have the Rewards in-game long before 90 months rolls around.

I've already forgotten about most of you
When does /vault go live? Ive been a paying member since the prerelease headstart on my main account, and I didnt notice a badge as of earlier this week.

If you are ever in doubt as to when you should be awarded it, you can always check on your playNC account page (City of heroes part of course), as it will list your "awarded date" for quite a bit longer.|

Of course, when Freedom is released, that page could well change in layout, but for now, the essential information for when you recieve(d) a vet badge is accurate (give or take a floating day sometimes o.O)

I expect that page to go bye-bye when FREEDOM is released. Posi said they'll be using a different system to track Vet/ParagonReward rewards.

We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
(If you love this game as much as I do, please read that post.)
I'm enjoying the portable vault. Thanks Devs!
Now I only need to go there my Day Job.

I'm so hopeless at formatting stuff to fit on those, so I never bother. When something is really important to me to share, like the link to the first month or so of patch notes I dug up on the Wayback Machine, I sent the link to an active contributor (pretty sure it was StarGeek) to post up and make it fit the style of the others.

Mine isn't here yet. It's been 2 days. <sobs>
I'm the shadow in the night. I stalk the corridors of CoH. >.> I wonder how many vets get the 87 month one.
EDIT: I apparently got it. They snuck it in at some point.

This is probably a moot point with CoH:Freedom on the horizon but the original headstart period (April 25-28, 2004) was never supposed to count towards Vet status. Many people over the years have been confused about this but according to the Vet FAQ as well as everything any Redname has always said the official Vet status start date for all players has always been April 28, 2004. Any player who ever got their Vet awards earlier than the 28th of a particular "anniversary month" was benefiting from a bug in the accounting system. Hopefully the upcoming Freedom changes will finally squash that long-standing bug for everyone.|

That's if they're planning to fix it at all. I imagine it's a pretty low priority fix, if a fix is intended at all. It's possible that, with 1200+ badges, they've just decided to remove the screen flash.

Dumb question...I always enjoy checking out team-mates(bing)...I also like to see what badges her/she/other have earned so will we still be able to see how many months they have been playing or will that go bye-bye?

Well we know that the existing badges aren't going to be changed so I don't think any of that will go "bye-bye".|

I must admit I also like to look at other people's badges in-game. But I do my best to not assume anything about how well a given player can play the game. I've seen people who only have a few Vet badges play very well and I've also seen 80+ month "vets" who seem semi-clueless. Just don't let yourself tricked into thinking a person's badges mean anything else than how much time a player has "wasted" earning badges.

The /Vault power can be useful - it can be a real pain shuffling salvage around when I'm trying to craft things. But, combined with /auctionhouse, I have a lot more space to move things around.
I was wondering if we'll see a 90 month reward before Freedom comes out. :-)

Hey,
So I'm at work and haven't had a chance to check it out: is there an 87 month Vet Reward, or are we all now rolling over into the New Thing? If there is an 87 month reward, what is it?
The Vet Reward page that lists everything only goes as far as 78 months, so that was no help.
