(ie: Move my 220 Doctor from my main account to my new Vet Account). 2000 Paid Points.
    OK I'm a bit slow here ... what 'virtual items' are copied and how? It's certainly not items like armor etc.. is it?

    Also, it's not clear to me what happens at the end of the 60 days ... I guess the paid points are used to open the vet account and then after 60 days it reverts back to the payment options that FC allows for AO accounts?

Items can't exist without a character holding them, in inventory, bank, equipped, etc... so are you duplicating characters or is there some 'bank' for the virtual account to hold items that any character can access it? What I'm getting at here, it seems like there is potential to duplicate gear for alts from a current account with veteran accounts copying virtual items.

    Also, it's not clear to me what happens at the end of the 60 days ... does this mean the only option of payment for a veteran account is with paid points every 60 days?
    I think this is just a way to get a second account that you pay for but this time you can transfer characters between accounts at the cost of PP.

    At the end of your 60 free days you have another account to pay for, or not pay for and retire...

    I believe "virtual items" are just pre-order items that sit on your account, see below from earlier in the thread:

    It works by creating a new account under this account with the name you have specified. The new account will get 60 days of included gametime, all expansions, veteran months and preorder items copied from the existing account. The existing account also retains these items.

    Note: The new account will take up to 10 minutes to be available.
    Also: Gametime and paid points for this account are separate from your existing account. Paid points and remaining gametime are not copied over.


    Just copied that from funcom.com paid services area... looks like paid points don't get transferred

    Gatester: Crats have the best toolset for supporting a team in PVE.
    Aramsunat: WRONG! The team supports the crat if the crat is unable to solo (which is rare)!

    I'm going to bed, so I'll be cleaning up this ridiculous argument later. But knock it off, I don't want to come back and find more to clean up. Thanks.

    We were derailing the thread in an attempt to discuss something other than everyone's personal, yet slightly different from the previous poster's, interpretation of Means' post on the vet account.

    I see some Birthday stuff already ingame? (Well the Zoo has arrived at least)

    When can we expect to go grab new phats? I assume a new update is still needed to patch it all to live.

    Sure. How far along are you with the balance patch?

    Where do we go to start the hunt for the gift building? Anyone know?
    "A whole new place to run around for ages in then die suddenly without warning."

    "I know who coded pet pathing... and when I see him I say "/follow" and I start waling in to walls :P"

    The "Trolls" option is incorrect. The term trolls is not used to describe the gathering of information on the Internet.

    RE: new city building - looks like all the components are going to arrive on live with the birthday patch, so can't really farm anything in advance. Kintaii did say that the footprint of the finished building will be like the gridhouse, so more orgs will be able to squeeze it onto their city plot.

    not showing what you're doing might (in my opinion) mean, that you can't really be proud of the results...just thinking...
    No, that one flew over your head. Metaplast was refering to a South Park episode.

    I don't think even Means is that arrogant. if its a statue at all (by itself), it will likely be a letdown.

This should make "killing yourself" less necessary for those who really don't like to waste XP...and also hopefully less people miscalculating and accidentally leveling their twinks despite the fact that we have a "No XP" option. Should you choose to /terminate now your lost XP will also now go to pool when before it would have gone nowhere.
    Hi just fyi, Base on these changes, I can see the bigger problem that most people will complain, the 200M Capped pool size isnt gonna be enough especially for high TL5 & TL6. A couple of Daily mission is enough to build up a 200M pool. And 200m pool is easily cleaned within 5 lvls, and it is insufficient for lvls especially 175+

    I have 4 char with 200M exp pool now even without the changes above, and another one coming up soon.

    Chears.
