Good News for Veteran EQ players!

As part of EverQuest's 6th Anniversary celebration, the game team is giving current EQ players (based on your total subscription length) one special Veteran Reward for every year that you've been an active EverQuest subscriber! This is very good news for six year vets! It means that you'll be getting six Veteran Rewards!

Note: you'll find the Veteran Rewards tab in the game's AA user interface.

Even better news: From April 11th to May 11th, any current EQ player can purchase a one-year EQ subscription for a special price ($99.99) and get next year’s Veteran Reward (based upon total subscription time) at no additional cost! And, for you six year veteran EQ players, this is a chance to get an exclusive 7th year Veteran Reward at no additional cost.

A special note: Veteran Rewards remain with each character for as long as that character exists. For every year that a player has been subscribed, they will be able to claim the Rewards on one character.

Veteran Rewards are as follows:

Year 1
Lesson of the Devoted: A character will gain double-XP for 30-minutes every 24 hours. When this reward is in effect, the character will be surrounded by a special blue-white glow.

Year 2
Infusion of the Faithful: This reward grants increased run speed for 15 minutes once every 24 hours.

Year 3
Chaotic Jester: Once every 24 hours, a character can summon a Bristlebane puppet for 15 minutes. During that time, the puppet randomly casts various spells that provide benefits or minor penalties.

Year 4
Expedient Recovery: Once a week, this "Back to New" reward summons all of a player's corpses back to him, and gives back all XP that was on the corpses.

Year 5
Steadfast Servant: Once every 24 hours, a creature is summoned that stays in the area for a half hour, buffing and healing player characters nearby.

Year 6
Staunch Recovery: Once every three days, a character is healed back to full health, mana, and endurance.

Year 7
Intensity of the Resolute: Once every 24 hours, a character's melee attacks, damage spells and heals are increased for five minutes. When this reward is in effect, the character will be surrounded by a glow of energy.

Bizarre. They're really trying hard to entice people back/to stay.

[Ramsus]

Amazing what a little competition can do.

This actully seems kinda fun, but I already have a brells puppet... dont tell Merr I said that about her though heh :bounce:

I'd be more inclined to continue my subscription if I could progress in the game instead of logging on for raids only to discover that some uber Qvic+ a$$es had killed all of our targets the night before. SOE refuses to let the mobs spawn more than once every 3 - 7 days and, despite all the promises that they're working hard on a solution, has yet to do anything on the live servers to get zone / event script stability back on track.

Oh wait! Silly me, I forgot they helped us out by doubling the server population before fixing any of the broken stuff. Now we can try to reach agreements on rotations for the stuff that isn't up. If they want me to continue my subscription, allowing the guild to progress through content the way they designed that progression is the way to do it.

Being allowed to progress and to be proud of what we're accomplishing is worth the price. Marketing gimmicks aren't.

Year 4
Expedient Recovery: Once a week, this "Back to New" reward summons all of a player's corpses back to him, and gives back all XP that was on the corpses.

Does this actually mean I can leave my rezzed corpses, and once a week be able to get the last 4% off all the corpses?

[Ramsus]

No. If the corpse rez timer expired on the corpse(s), you won't get the exp back.

Maybe I am missing something (cause I have been sick as a dog, and things seem to blur into other things) but do you have to purchase the year's subscription in order to get these awards? I have looked on every character's AA page, and there is nothing there to indicate the award. Or do you have to do a /claim for each character to get them?

To the best of my Knowledge these rewards are not active yet and I have no idea when they will be available. :fez: :bookworm:

agreed Vrinda, just more stupid gimmeks rather than dealing with real issues. not like server merger has been all that great so far anyhow, still hardly any clerics ever lfg, just tons of dps classes and druids lfg.
