Everyone who sticks around becomes a veteran. If you stick around for a year you become a one year veteran. And with that comes a single prize.
When the 22nd anniversary rolls around, if you’re someone who never stopped playing along the way, you’ve created an opportunity to receive 22 prizes.
Younger players will never be able to catch up. Personally it doesn’t matter to me what any player is allowed to pick from the list.
I’d be more interested in reaching a milestone that allowed a veteran to pick up a extra gift than I would be in making sure a younger player can’t get their hands on the same pixels I covet.
That's my point, and I do not understand why it bothers so much anyone.....
ESPECIALLY, considering how Broadsword every Year kindly releases SEVERAL Veteran Rewards, for various active account ages across the board, AND, also, it could make the "TOP" active account ages Veteran rewards (say 22, 21, 20, 19, 18, 17, 16) only claimable by the specific Year they are addressed to BUT, usable by any and all active age account Years or from some active age Year upwards... which ever they prefer.
Pretty much ALL active account ages BUT THE OLDEST ONES (with the exception of 20 Years...), up to 15 Years of active age, that is, have Veteran Rewards addressed to THEM.
That is, those players, with those active account age accounts, to my viewing, CAN IDENTIFY with that token of appreciation from Ultima Online which says a thank you to THEM, specifically, because their account is THAT precise active age.....
This is NOT SUCH for those players with active age accounts of 16, 17, 18, 19, 21 and 22 Years of active age.
To THESE players, holding THESE active age accounts, THEIR specific account, at least as I see it, is not "specifically addressed" with a Veteran Reward token of appreciation for their Loyalty, for such an extensive and whopping period of time, to Ultima Online.
That is the point, at least to my viewing, of Veteran Rewards.
To say a "thank you for your Loyalty" to Ultima Online to specific players and their account.
Frankly, I am unable to understand WHY, accounts of an active age of 16, 17, 18, 19, 21 and now 22 should not also receive their Thank --> YOU <-- just like all other active age Years accounts have received and MULTIPLE TIMES, sometimes (some Years have more then 1 Reward available to them...).
Never be afraid to challenge the status quo
I also keep asking myself, why would you want an exclusive reward, if you also want newer players to be able to use it? Could it be because of how much you could ask someone to pay for something they can't get for themselves?
IF there were to be any special 'reward' for accounts over the 15 year stop point, I might consider that an extra pick might be appropriate, 3 picks instead of 2 per year? Although as a player who has been around consistently since 2k I don't really feel the need for it, I'm totally fine with the status quo.
Say for example 22 Years active age Accounts 7 Years older then 15 Years, have 14 (7 x 2) Rewards more to sell (or give) to other players.
No, that is not the issue.
The issue is more of a "personal" appreciation for one's own account's Loyalty Age which, as I see it the 2 Rewards per Year do not express as well as a unique Veteran Reward, specifically intended for THAT Year's active age Account could.
Receiving a "specific" Veteran Reward for having been Loyal to Ultima Online for 22 whopping Years, or 21, or 19, or 18, or 17, or 16, feels NOT the same as getting 2 Rewards for any Year of active age past 6..... not by a long shot, IMHO.
A 7th Year active age account, at least to my viewing, does not and cannot show the same "weighted" Loyalty, for example, as a 22 Years of active age account.
YET, they BOTH bring in the same 2 "extra" Veteran Rewards....
But, I cannot possibly see 7 Years of Loyalty being likewised to 22 Years of Loyalty to Ultima Online....
Personally, I think that such an exceptional long lasting Loyalty to Ultima Online should have a more visible appreciation which only unique Veteran Rewards for those "Top" Years could hold....
Players complain that then they cannot use those higher Years Veteran Rewards until their Account was to reach that Veteran status ? No problem, make them claimable by those higher active age Years accounts but usable by all age accounts or, if necessary, by accounts of an active age older then a certain Year.
Furthermore, Event items bring in way, but WAY more gold that a Veteran Rewards ever can sell for... so, frankly, I do not see why the sale of Veteran Rewards would be an issue but that of Event items is not... especially looking at how quite a number of Event items get obtained with multiboxing, I seem to understand.... and through the use of free Endless Journey characters...
At least, with Veteran Rewards, they would come from paid for accounts for many, MANY Years like for example 22, 21, 19, 18, 17, 16 .....
If we want to bring up an argument, let's bring up that of Event items and what they sell for, not of Veteran Rewards....

I can sell them on any Shard.
PM me if interested.
As I said, it makes hardly any difference whether it is extra Rewards per Year or the actual Year's reward.
There is no difference in selling "extra" Years' Veteran Rewards or individual Rewards so, that cannot be a valid argument, to my viewing, as it pertain's more to players' choices to what to do with their items.
As I said, a 22 active Years Veteran account still has 7 x 2 more Veteran Rewards as compared to a 15 active Years Veteran account. That is, 14 Veteran Rewards that, if that is what that player wants, they can sell as compared to a 15 Years account.
Hence, is my point, the monetary argument cannot be a valid argument in support of stopping Veteran Rewards at 15 Years.
Instead, the valid argument as I see it in support of having individual Veteran Rewards also for the Years 16, 17, 18, 19, 21 and 22, is the "individual" appreciation of that particular account and active age reached as Loyalty, for that long time....
