As asked before, what are these "virtual items" - and the vet account, I did not understand how that was going to be of any benefit other than transferring other toons there.

If you decide to make another account with all expansions, and you -don't- use this new option you:
Pay some amount up front for the game (perhaps as low as $10), pay for each months subscription(about $18 for the 1st two months if pre-paid 1 yr), get some small amount of free time, get no vet points on that account, get no pre-order items like Jobe Lux or floating chair, and have no option to transfer a char from any other account to the new account so every char on it is a new rolled char.
If you use this new option you:
Spend 2000 paid points ($20) and get the 1st two months subscription covered, get vet points equal to what the 'parent/template' account has, get the same pre-order items that the parent account had acquired (such as Jobe lux apt and floating chair), and have the option to transfer (not copy) chars from the parent account to the new vet account.
Paid points don't get copied at all - the new vet account will start at either zero or some small token amount of paid points.
All in all, creating a 'vet' account is now the obvious route to go -if- you were intending to create a new account in the first place.
The question should not be, how to trick me into getting another account, I have 3 already. Question should be how to make me want to keep paying for the 3 accounts I already have.
What I would have done, is make the Vet account free, as you're already paying for an account already. Limit it to one, but make it free. So people with Doc/tanks in the same account will have all sorts of new possibilities and keep playing the game.
Could we get ability to pay sub-time with PPs like 1k per month, would be about 40% save for EU players...

1. run AO on new engine
2. take screen shot
3. ???
4. profit!!!
I love AO but I'm never that good at it!
SL rocks.
As i read it ...
You got WebsiteLogin_A under wich you admin account with GameLogin_1 containing several caracters including (e.g.) your trader.
You can create veteran GameLogin_2, still under WebsiteLogin_A, with all same elements (apartment, vet month, pet, mech, preorder stuff and all) except 2000 Paid Points are deducted (and none duplicated, of course).
Then you can TRANSFER (not copy, that's where Means post was blurry) caracter between (filled) GameLogin_1 -> (empty) GameLogin_2, in our example : the trader. You just made one free slot in GameLogin_1. You also could create new caracter under GameLogin_2, wich is independant account.
Now you can log one of your caracters (except trader wich has moved) under GameLogin_1, and dualbuff them with the trader now accessible from GameLogin_2.
Both logins stay adminable under WebsiteLogin_A, but you need to pay the main subscription (= keeping GameLogin_1 active) + the sub-account subscription (= keeping GameLogin_2 active) to keep the both unfrozen.
If you already got another subscription, let's say WebsiteLogin_B under main GameLogin_3, you CANNOT move any caracter from/to any WebsiteLogin_A main/sub GameLogins.
Hope i'm clear, think i'm logical.

BTW new acount is about 23€ (I think 20$) with "This special offer includes 45 days of gametime, a full 15 days more than the standard offer, if you sign up right now". So bonus is only 15days and pre-order stuff...
BTW how come you are still advertising 8th aniversary LOX order for 10€ on launcher? ;D

But mweh... What's so special in it for me?
I get to copy items only, or a complete char? If it's just char copy, it's plain silly.
If it's just items copy and you get to level your new char from level 1, without the need to farm all those nodrops, it's still stoopit (smart move for FC though, but it would be stupid of cheap ol' me to fell for that). I'll rather take fully leveled toon for this "vet" offer, thank you very much, or at least the same ability (level 1 with BoC/etc) but on the same account.

Great:
Creating Vet-Account 20€
Transfer my 4 characters that are stuck on rk3 with nowhere to go: 80€
In sum 100€ for .. hmm for what? For 60 days play time.
Its understandable that the veteran account does cost something.
I do also aggree that transfering a char from main to vet account is not free.
BUT why do i have to pay 80€ to transfer my chars from the dead server?!
Remember that we used to have 24 character slots and now only have 16 left for the same money.

From the info given you'd only be able to move chars from the main account to the linked vet account and back (for a fee), not from just any account. So no char buying or other things that some have started talking about. We're hoping there will be the option to make an existing account the vet account of another but no news on that or some other things I and others have asked.
Then vet point items are nice, make life easier and are fun. If I had the option to make a vet account years ago that's what I would have done rather than make a new account. It does sound like a good deal but we're low on details at the moment.
Only one vet accounts per main account?
Is that play account or website account?
Are they going to share passwords?
Will they prevent dual logging and just give you more slots?

and just to be complete
1. buy fraps for peanuts
2. start fraps an run around anywhere you want (the ao junkies even cheered about the last "great" video...so it can't be worse)
3. upload.
aaaaand
4. profit.
not showing what you're doing might (in my opinion) mean, that you can't really be proud of the results...just thinking...
