This article contains information about changes that took place in City of Heroes/Villains. It is provided for historical purposes.
Overview
The Veteran Rewards Program was a system released in Issue 8 that rewarded players for every three months that their account was active. Veteran Rewards were for "time played, not time paid" - a player was not rewarded until after the required time span elapsed. For instance, a player would not get the Trustworthy Badge and related rewards until after three months passed. The time did not have to be continuous. If a player played for three months, took a break for a month, then played another three months, they would gain the six month badge.
City of Heroes Freedom
With City of Heroes Freedom, they ended the Veteran Rewards Program. Introduced to replace it was the Paragon Rewards Program. Players who have Veteran Rewards are grandfathered into the Paragon Rewards Program. These players may have some or all pre-chosen for them, to make sure no player loses access to something they already have access to under the Veteran Rewards Program.
