They would have rewards in 3 month increments - 3 month up to 54 month reward - and some awesome things like
Miniture Boba Fett Replica, Miniature AT-AT Replica, Jawa Hologram or the Emperor's Chair.

I remembered spending countless hours just putting things in my houses and arranging them to how I wanted. It was fun and "rewarding" and it made the base feel good.

I feel though the days of full service like at Neiman Marcus and Ethan Allen are over and replaced with Walmart and Ikea.

There is no incentive for them to reward Veterans as they have a player model that is for temporary people that will come and go. We are no longer important.
Yeah, SWG had great rewards, a shame the game was a POS for so long they had to turn it into something else entirely for it to work at all. I mean, Combat Medics never had any issues like nonexistent mats for a year or more, Squad Leaders... well.. being Squad Leaders, AT-ST trios, dropping an entire imperial base on a newbie zone outside of Anchorhead, VAST TRACTS of deserted housing that covered more of the planet than everything else combined, horrible general lag, 1-shot mind kills, triple rancor pets, zero content whatsoever peddled as "sandboxy", the entire 'end game' reduced to hunting krayts and PVP with the weeks latest OP attempt to fix a host of class issues that were so busted *** stupid broken from the start they had to rebuild the entire thing from the ground up and call it NGE.

SWG was absolute garbage. I had a lot of fun with it but I came out of the time where once you got to a certain point you found all the game exploits and pounded the hell out of them. Hey this wall gives you +500 xp just by running into it? Tell your buddies and wedge the up arrow down for a few hours. I never expected that game to work right after a week with it, it never did and while I enjoyed it for a brief time for what it was, the idea that SWG was a good game beyond the setting and the players is just bankrupt.

Any kind of rewards they handed out after that pre-NGE kludge fest is kind of like passing out candy canes to a bunch of homeless kids.

I guess hiding out in your house and moving pictures around for hours on end was a magical experience worthy of reverence or something.

As for the OP to this thread, I don't think he was asking that much. While I think there's a bit of entitlement going on, I would think that if presents are getting handed out - baby taun tauns and such - another title saying I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH isn't really asking too much at all.

But, as time goes by, I feel more and more like I was here from the beginning (ish). This is where these things get sticky and may be best avoided altogether.
I do not see it as a priority. I think that it is no secret that BW is behind in other features. I have been subbed since early access and still waiting to move my toons to one server. I am stilll suprised they are talking about an expansion now.
and the Force beat generic Swords and Magic any day. 8/26/14 That was my old signature but after RotHC, I went back to superheroes and swords and magic. Now waiting on Dragon Age and a SWTOR story expac for my Bioware fix 7/30/15 Returned for KotFE. Finally, a story expac.

You got suckered into buying the CE Edition, a lot of people did because of the game hype, but I posted several times as did others about not buying the CE Edition just for the few in game items it gave you because you would be disappointed later... This happens with Every MMO that does CE Editions, it's a money grab and nothing else. No one to blame but yourself for being suckered into it.

Now if you wanted the physical items in the CE Edition then thats different... But for people who only wanted it for in game items you should of known better...

You have a founder title stop QQ'ing....


Only thing that would of been nice for Bioware to do is give long time players a 50% discount on the Life Day stuff, but you have to remember EA is all about money not keeping a loyal player base.
Yeah stop QQ'ing
I look at my Malgus statue everyday on my deask and want a Satele one too.
I put the soundtrack on my itunes and I play the music when I play the game.
I have the huge box on my dresser and I see it everyday. Love it.
Security key is a hassle.
All my toons have had a free speeder sice launch.
The journal is awesome and goes with my encyclopedia. I am a fan of the story in this game.
I also have access to all the companion customization, which I use BTW.

...what is there to cry about again?

That's great, except now you can't use those coins to buy the expansion. I was on-board for subscribing and considering it a full-access pass and nothing more until this came out. Now, I dunno...
Oh, look! I have a referral code, too!
Just a Bioware Fan suckered into a new obsession.

You want to be able to brag about how long you've been playing a Star Wars MMO? *giggle*

A rocky start is better than a rocky finish, always.
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too?

I don't care about legacy rewards....... I just want it to actually mean something.
I have been called a hater for voicing my opinion. So be it. But I would rather die on my feet, then live on my knees.

Yeah, let's face it: if SWG was really the be all and end all of mmos the emu would have more than 5k playing it.
