Re: Veteran Reward Update
Interesting idea. Is there code support for char-specific stuff? I know there's the account age check for ethys. Maybe it's still early and I need another cup-o-java to get my brain rolling...
Also, how do you stop miscreants scamming other folks by selling a reward that the others char can't use? There would have to be code for items that says they can't go into a trade window (even when in a container) or something.
And you're right. Some rewards should still be sellable/usable by all. Perhaps the key to those is to limit "one to five" per account depending on the leetness of the reward, then the option to get that reward is gone forever. My next door neighbor just covered his house with gorilla statues. I asked him "why", and he said, "because I could."

Re: Veteran Reward Update
If the problem is ancient farmed accounts, then I guess you're right that some sort of banksittingtime has to be used to delineate active from less-used accounts. For example, he might use an activity threshold to mark some older accounts as ineligible for vet rewards because they are mostly-unused. The risk is penalizing some valid accounts.
An since you know-it-all, what items are char-specific? I'm not talking about GM-specific, or age-specific, or faction specific, or unicorns for females. I'm talking abount account or character (e.g. Generic Player) specific. I'm drawing a blank on this. I guess I could fire up my RunUO 1.0 and look and see if there's a field under items that locks it to a char's name. But you sound like you know.

Re: Veteran Reward Update
I think that if the new rewards could only be claimed once per account and had ages like 48+ months etc, it wouldnt be a problem at all.
The problem is people (myself included) have been playing for a 4+ years on 4 accounts and have hundreds of unclaimed vet rewards... offer me a Rose of Trinsic without a limitation and Ill have 200 in my house flooding the market.
I think resetting everyone's vet rewards back to zero and implementing a new method of determining how many rewards you get (maybe 1 for every month up to 3 so people can ride ethies then one every six months following?) would be the perfect solution.
Scale the rewards earned based on account age:
Months 1-3 = 1 reward each month
3-6 = 1 reward
6-12 = 1 reward
12-18 = 1 reward
18-24 = 1 reward
24-36 = 1 reward
36-48 = 1 reward
Have the high end 4-5 year rewards be one claim only to eliminate farming.

Re: Veteran Reward Update
How about a blessed key-chain for a reward? :>
Nothing too fancy but pretty useful I think.

Re: Veteran Reward Update
I would like to see housing storage deeds. Only useable once per house by an account that is old enough, and if the house drops or is traded, it's gone. Maybe have it increase storage by 25-50%. Would limit the benefit to at least those players that log in enough to refresh their houses.

Re: Veteran Reward Update
Wouldn't really need a deed for that, it could be linked to account age.
