    Why, when those items are just random social stuff that you could make a lot of money by selling, and give to veterans for free? Makes perfect sense...

    On my first and only toon to Pande I did not spend much time on Heckler XP. It was not until I tried to enter Pande I found out I needed more faction points. Fortunately I was with an INF team willing to help me out.

    This is just something to keep in mind. I am not sure why there is a heckler faction requirement to enter Pande, I was unaware of any other playfields with that requirement. You might want to remove it, if you are encouraging players to level using Rubi-ka mobs.

    Thank you for the update.

    Yes, because the VET SHOP is so aimed at new players...

    So just as a thought-experiment, are you thinking of separate tab pages for vet shop items and regular items?
    Or two separate web-shops?

    Ehh... Actually input given early on in a design phase has more impact than trying to change already-made decisions so our comments/concerns now has a greater chance at..
    Oh, my bad...
    What was I thinking, player's input...
    Me? Trouble? No trouble..

    I still do not see the wisdom in releasing a new player experience before the engine/graphics update. Is it not obvious what is going to happen?

    1. New player: oh gee wow, this looks kind of cool.
    2. They leave the new player experience zone.
    3. Oh gee wow, this looks kind of like **** now.
    4. Uninstall.

    You get your first veteran points after half a year, I would still consider you a new player after that amount of time. Maybe I'm just too hard core! :P Someone needs to balance out for Nusquam's nubiness hehe. <3

    I also see nothing wrong with new players knowing that they get rewards if they become long time subscribers.

    confirmed: new players never become vets.

    All SL playfields, except Elysium and Nascence, require certain amounts of faction with Guardian of Shadow. Just now a days you might powerlevel so fast cause of other factors that you don't kill enough hecklers or whatever for guardian of shadow.

    Well... When you say "Put vet shop into item shop", we basically think "Merge/transfer vet points to paid points and move the items to itemshop to be bought with paid points" While we keep asking for new stuffs to spend vet points.
    Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut... Seems you already said its gonna be in a separate tab and we will keep vet points

    But I'll miss the current vet store! Where would we be without useless cyberdecks, overpriced beacon warps and giant foam hands!?

    It's not heckler faction for one. It's the faction of ergo... you know the portal guy that grants you access to the next zone. Hecklers are not the only mobs to give GoS faction.

    I just want to say that screenies posted are not exciting in any way.
    They are the same or worse than what has been posted before.

    I would like to point out that the TSW vet point items are in the regular item store. they use a separate currency, which is listed, but they are among the regular items. I dont think this is the best set up, but it works.
    -Tanisthonus. 212MP. Unity of the Rose. Atlantean.

    I like the look of the NPE and the rest. Thanks for all the hard work on AO, you know who you are!! Glad to see your give and take with the Forum Hands/Gods Nusquam. Welcome indeed.

    How is your AO toon coming along? If you need any help Ill be post a lvlling service for lvl 5 to 60 and maybe 70 for the diehards. Its 100 mil to 60 and includes warps to and fro. Maybe some of the dev team can lend you some creds. Just send a tell to contact in ad or post your name and Ill contact you ingame. Ciao!!

    Followup question:

    Will this be like TSW, where we were given notice that all of our bonus points from preorder/grandmaster pack would be wiped, and then blocked from spending points on most of our characters in the time they were still supposedly available?

    ... or we think about points for shop for points for sword box for sword to put sword in for sword.

    IF we've been here a while, that is.

    Hang on,

    I just read AOC monthly update and TSW monthly update, and it was the same dude doing both of them.

    Does that mean that the "Creative Director" is actually doing 3+ games at once?


    No wonder stuff takes so long to get done.
