 Posted: Fri Aug 04, 2006 9:21 pm Post subject: NEW VET REWARDS!!!!!! |
 |
| Quote: | In appreciation for our long-term players, Ultima Online currently offers a number of Veteran Reward gift items that you can’t get anywhere else in the game. The more months a UO game account remains active, the more gifts that account can claim. There are currently multiple vet reward sets for 1 through 5 year veterans of UO. We are in the process of adding a new choice for year 1 vets, as well as choices for year 6 through year 9 vets.
All reward options are blessed.
1st Year Vet Reward: The following item is an additional choice being added to the list of reward choices for players whose accounts have been active for 12 months or more. Only those characters on accounts aged 12 months or more will be able to select or use this new reward item.
Red Soulstone
Allows you to store and transfer skills between characters on the same account
Can be used as a decoration in your house
Soulstones are account specific - Soulstones do not work on accounts other than the one that was used to claim it. For more information on Soulstones, click here.
6th Year Vet Reward: The following is the 6th year reward item that will be available to players whose accounts have been active for 72 months or more. Only those characters on accounts aged 72 months or more will be able to select or use the 6th year reward item.
Player Statue Maker
This is a decoration for your house
Can be used to make a statue of yourself
The statue will mimic your appearance, including clothing, armor and weapons
You can choose among three poses for the statue
There are three statue makers - each uses a different type of material:
Bronze
Alabaster Marble
Jade
Statue makers can only make statues out of one of the material types (if you pick a bronze statue maker, that particular statue maker will not be able to make statues out of marble or jade.)
Each material will have a small selection of available hues
Statue will be mounted on a plinth
The plinth will have a plaque with the character's name and the date it was created
The statue is re-deedable, so you change it as many times as you wish
7th Year Vet Reward: The following is the 7th year reward item that will be available to players whose accounts have been active for 84 months or more. Only those characters on accounts aged 84 months or more will be able to select or use the 7th year reward item.
Decorative Cannon
This is a decoration for your house
Can be rotated
Can be fired:
Will make a cannon firing sound
Will have a particle effect
Requires a powder keg to be reloaded
8th Year Vet Reward: The following is the 8th year reward item that will be available to players whose accounts have been active for 96 months or more. Only those characters on accounts aged 96 months or more will be able to select or use the 8th year reward item.
Weapon Engraving Tool
Used to engrave a single line of text onto a weapon
Uses a rare gem to engrave that must be replaced periodically:
Only highly skilled tinkerer's can replace the gem
NPC tinkerer's will replace the gem for a fee (you provide the gem)
9th Year Vet Reward: The following is the 9th year reward item that will be available to players whose accounts have been active for 108 months or more. Only those characters on accounts aged 108 months or more will be able to select or use the 9th year reward item.
Rideable Polar Bear
Non-ethereal, summonable mount (like The Charger of the Fallen)
Will be a status symbol, as only the oldest veterans will be riding a polar bear

Boy, wish they had those statue things back before I quit. Would have been a nice thing to leave behind.
Ridable Polar Bears sound like fun, hehe.

Kick ass. I hope the statues are insanely customizable beyond what they say... Making statues of players long gone for a museum would be amazing.
I like it, though. Finally new vet rewards. Could've been more, but hey, not complaining. |

I barely touch UO, but I guess I'll grab a polar bear for my tamer.

I kindda only like the idea of the engraveable weapons but I don't think that should be a vet reward. |

Goona and I were screwing around with the cannon on the test shard, and it didn't do any damage. Pretty lame, but at least it looks pretty. |
