Veteran Rewards Program

Overview

The Veteran Rewards Program is a system released in Issue 8 that rewards players for every three months that their account has been active. Veteran Rewards are for "time played, not time paid" - a player is not rewarded until after the required time span has elapsed. For instance, a player will not get the Trustworthy Badge and related rewards until after three months have passed. The time does not have to be continuous. If a player plays for three months, then takes a break for a month, then plays another three months, they will gain the six month badge.
