It's character specific meaning whichever character you want it on, you'll have to log it in to get the badge.

This, and it is very annoying and frustrating. I really wish the system would just reward it account wide, including all of the ones I have already, which is to say all of them.

I agree that it probably isn't account wide (and really should be) but how exactly would you check? If you log in on a character that shouldn't have the badge, it is - presumably - awarded then. And on each character I've logged in so far, I've not seen the badge earned message pop up for this badge and I don't see it in my log, either. But it is in my list of recently earned badges.
Maybe it really is account wide?

Once you hit a certain point, it's better to just pick a few you might want it on and say the heck with the rest of 'em.
Edit: On the flip side, if you want to *track* your characters (or at least get a comprehensive listing,) logins like this are a great time to head over to City Info Tracker (cit.cohtitan.com) and grab the titan sentinel... or whatever it's called now, know there was a name change.) Just take a bit more time switching servers - and you'll have a nice, long list with a full count of characters, AT/side breakdown, most used powersets, etc.
I can understand the feeling. I only have about 80 Characters, but thinking about how much time over the course of the month it's gonna be to do this...
Thank you for the time...

I've kept a running list of my characters' AT, powersets, pools, and various other things in Excel for years now. I'm not a serious badge-hunter, but I try to get the event badges on my 50s and current mains at the very least, so I track that info in Excel as well. I'll take a look at the Info Tracker and see if it offers anything additional that I'd like to track. Thanks for the suggestion.|

This seems to be another one.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

I only worry about my alts that have everything back to the first anniversary badge.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

The biggest benefit there is that it's automatic. If it's running and you log in, it's updated - level, bio, badges (i think it grabs them automatically now, unless I remember wrong,) INF, etc. |

I don't do it for badge hunting (and I'm *really* bad at running the client and updating it, quite honestly,) but I run it for the sake of "huh, that's interesting info." I wish PS had set up functionality for this sort of info to export right to a web page when COH launched - apparently going in after the fact (City vault) did *bad* things to the server load.

Last year I got burned by the badge. I'd heard it was account wide and it was not. I wish they'd make the anniversary badges account wide already and have done with it, like they did for Defender of Primal Earth.

Hi all,
Does anyone know if the new 8th anniversary login badge is account-wide or just character specific?
I remember reading something about the event/anniversary login badges becoming account-wide awhile back here on the forums, but I can't find any mention about whether or not it actually happened yet.
Thanks.
