Veteran Anniversary Gifts

Greetings, Champions! On Friday after maintenance, veteran players will be getting some special anniversary gifts, including exclusive titles and action figures. We'll announce the specifics tomorrow (hop on PTS tomorrow to test-drive them!), but I want to give a quick primer on how all of this will work.
Veteran players of CO will be getting these rewards upon logging in after maintenance, and everyone can get rewards from fighting the Destroid invasion. Veterans will get more rewards the longer they've been playing CO.
6-month tier: First login to Champions was at least six months ago, less than a year.
1-year tier: First login to Champions was at least a year ago, less than two years.
2-year tier: First login to Champions was at least two years ago.
-All dates (e.g. "six months ago") are relative to the official anniversary, September 1.
-Higher tiers will get the rewards of the lower tiers, or better versions of the same rewards.
-This criteria will include deleted characters. The number we're checking against is an account number, not a character number -- so that should be the broadest net as possible for defining a veteran player.
-Some of these rewards will be bound to your character, some will be bound to your account. When we announce the exact gifts, we'll specify which rewards are bound to what, and how to make sure you get them on the character you want.
-You can only get each item once per account.
-This will all be handled in-game; if any special actions are needed, I'll announce them tomorrow.

If this is anything like how the Heroic Resonance works I'll be fine with it as long as it improves as we reach that higher tier. I personally don't want what I get to be limited because I wasn't around when the game came out.
BUT I'm liking how its not limited to just Gold players either!
I'm glad to see something more happen to the vets

Btw, I was a silver player back in Feb. 2011 and then after a few months I switched to gold. Do I get veteran rewards for playing as a silver player as well?
Giggity.
I think it will be for both, gold and silver, it just counts how long you play the game because even as a silver you can be a veteran.

What about the 3 year tier for the 1k+ vets :biggrin:?(actually it's 1.1k but you know what I mean
Thanks guys!
When XP earnings during a Double-XP Weekend still feel like I'm underperforming,
there's something terribly wrong with the reward system...

Depends what you are looking for. Under My Account (top of the page) you can see your Subscription time. I don't think there is any way to see the account up time AFAIK. I'm curious of what they are using for the Vet Gifts myself. Do they use the sub time or account time.
*EDIT* It would appear that said time did count.

On Call FAQ found here:On Call FAQ
1. The Destroid Invasion has been removed.
2. "The Courageous" title. Can we get titles without "the" forced in it and just give us a prefix title option?
2. The Reward Kit comes in the mail, but I got a 6 month reward box even though I've been lifetime for almost 500 days. Other players report to being Lifetime for 800 and still got 6 months. And all it had was a plain Nighthawk AF.
3. All my Action Figures have been reset to none. Apparently this was before this update.
So I'm hoping that everything is reset and the reward kits are gifted wrong so that we can test the Legacy Vendor to see if it unlocks properly for all our characters.
Will the actual update be installed when the Devs come on?
50 days: Super Veteran
100 days: Marathon-Runner
150 days: Doesn't Need No Stinking Alts!
200 days: Addicted to Game
250 days: Needs a life
300+ days: My God, why aren't you paying rent?
For example, say I'm two months from two years. Do I simply miss out on the two year gift. Or would those gifts become available for me in two months?

Is there any way to get this fixed?

I'm having an issue with the anniversary gifts. I read today that the PTS transfer seems to be working again, so I linked a character and logged in. Then I realized I already had that character on the PTS, but one that I "built from scratch" due yesterday's character wipe, which caused the PTS-transferred character to have a number 1 after the name.
I logged into the "built from scratch" character intending to salvage anything on it before deleting it. I saw the messages indicating my new titles and headed to the mailbox. I saw that I had the "Happy Anniversary" email from Defender, and though about opening it, but decided to wait, thinking I would grab it when I logged in to the PTS-transferred character. I went back to the character selection screen, deleted both same-named characters, logged out, and re-transferred my character back to the PTS.
The email is no longer there. I cannot see it on any of my characters on the PTS. I know you stated previously that "some of these rewards will be bound to your character, some will be bound to your account." & "You can only get each item once per account." Was Defender's email not a account-wide email?
By the way, I'm also putting this as a bug in the respective thread on the PTS forum.
They just have to claim these rewards when they log with the characters they want, before deleting some of their characters, to be sure to avoid any problem.
But this is logical, i will say.

To claim a reward you must claim the reward. I didn't claim anything. I simply saw that the email was there, but did not take the attachment.
