If players were allowed to buy back lost months up to the account creation date for like 7$ per month it would be a win-win solution for everyone
That would be extremely fair! Especially to the vets, who paid the real monthly fee, not just some made up number...
Vet rewards are rewards for people, who stayed true to the game throughout the years. Being able to buy back that time would only be a slap in the face for those people. Deal with it.

I agree with this. It's not just a money sum. It's also a temporal reel of commitment through the years. Someone paying 600 bucks now is not the same as someone paying 10 a month for 5 years. Take care of vets, irl and UO. ;)

I'm only a one-year vet, but I also find it unacceptable that I paid $120 for my first year vet reward ethy horse while every noob can buy one for $10 at the store! Not fair. They should cost $120 in the UO store.

Sound logic...

If you'd shopped around throughout the years and there's also through word of mouth, you'd realize that game time can be purchased for as low as 5-7$ per month. Now the legality of that game time is obviously questionable but many vets pay that low to play, so it's not a made up number and more like the lowest that vets have paid to play

See this is what's wrong with some vets and it's sad... too much entitlement is not good and my solution would be fair for all

Obviously questionable? Most probably buying low with a proxy from an origin store in a foreign country, right? That's especially "fair" for people living in those countries. It's "cheap" there for a reason! Because it's definitely not "cheap" for them.
Dude, I'll tell you something, I also paid 7.50 per month, but perfectly legal, without exploiting currency differences. It is called 6mo GTC. 45 bucks upfront. Easy as that...
And I'll tell you some more: Late-comers get the shaft. You had 20 years to pay the bills. Others did. You didn't. Again, deal with it.
And still, it is a made up number. You made it up. For a feature that doesn't exist...

See this is what's wrong with some vets and it's sad... too much entitlement is not good and my solution would be fair for all
Every single paying customer is entitled to call himself a vet for every single month they paid. Even the ones with their very first month. Because they kept the game running in all those years. There wouldn't be an UO without them. So yeah, there could not be enough entitlement and they can be proud of it...
No matter how you twist and turn it, it's not fair. Can't say it often enough: Deal with it.

Vets didn't keep the game running. I'd argue a lot of vets made a lot of negatives in the game and pushed a lot of users away. It's all give and take. Bottom line is that EA kept the game running. Everytime I get frustrated with the game, it's not a patch or a game issue. It's the "Vets."

Shard shields and character transfers should never have been added to begin with

It is a little weird when you think about it... I actually agree with this, and mostly changed my mind about this subject.

If char transfer was allowed, it should only allow to transfer the naked toon (with all skills and stuff). But no items!
