What year reward should Shard Transfer Shields be?

Sorry we want to express our feeling.

Sorry guys but I see it as your moaning and complaining till you get something for nothing.

And for your info my oldest account is 10 years, so I wont be getting the shield for at lest 4 years (At lest until I reactivate the account anyway). What you are expressing is a 'need' for more, a desire to get something for nothing without earning it. You may not like it but as you rightly say, I like you am expressing my feelings on the matter.

And sometimes you have to reward those whom have stayed with you the longest, sometimes you have to look at other rewards for everyone. Right now though, things are as they should be IMO and unless someome makes a valid argument otherwise, my mind wont change.

Sorry if that upsets you, but its my 'feeling' on the matter.

You say you wont change your mind until someone makes a valid argument. I'm fine with that. What is your argument though?

I've read all your comments thus far. You're only argument has been

You've not explained why.

So I'll ask you. Why should players be rewarded for playing a game? Why should a 14 year vet get advatages over a first year vet when they both pay the same amount?

Try and actually explain your reasoning instead of pulling an opinion out of your ***, and then jumping all over others for actually explaining their reasoning. Don't say players are moaning, when in fact they are giving another view point.

I personally don't need the vet reward. I already have chars on all east coast shards, and a few west. However, I know players who can't afford x-fers in game, or out of game. A reward that could transfer a char for them for free, and allow them to play with new people on a new shard will only help the community. I only see an upside to this being available to everyone.

Can you point out a downside to it being available to everyone?

*Sigh*

Why can't players think of what's best for the community, not themselves.

Best post in this thread FTW!

My argument on the matter? I can give several.

1 - I'ld like to be rewarded for being loyal to a game, maybe new players should get somethng too but definately not the shield. It will be open to abuse. I look forward to achiving the next annual vet reward and when I take it I know that it means something. If I go and buy it, then it just means I'm throwing cash out the window. (For your info, a 14 year Vet has paid over $1500 for his game, a 3 month new player has paid $30. You do the math)

2 - I have kids whom take most of my money and considering that the UOGamecodes store is something I dont ever use. I cant afford it. UO is an online game so in my view you should be able to aquire all items in game not by the size of your bank account.

3 - As a game producer myself, I am very much aware of the benefits of offering loyality bonus's. It promotes higher returning players and increases expectations. By giving unique items to Vets, it fosters this scheme.

4 - You have some rares that I want. But they dont spawn anymore.. I know I'll complain till the Dev's put them in the UOGamecodes store so I can buy them... Actually lets push so I can get arties too... Oh and reagents, ethys, dye tubs, Conjurer's Garbs. I Tell you what, There was a singular server birth rare that I always wanted.. worth billions of gold (per say). Lets put that in the store for $10 so that everyone can have it. My point here is that its an online game that has limitations on certain items (Be it not spawning anymore or simply not available) the Shield is one of those items that are very rare. A new player shouldnt just be able to have it... Unless of course your suggesting that the DEV's make it so that every rare/high end drop is available from the store so that we dont actually have to play the game and can have it all NOW!

5 - I dont like people moaning about every descission the Dev's make

6 - I think people should be grateful for what they get and be pleased for others.

That enough for you?

Right, I'm done with this topic.
