EVE veteran loyalty program

It would be nice if EVE online (a subscription based game) would had a customer loyalty program. Let's say, offering 1 extra subscription day / account / active year. CCP could cap it at 3 or 5 days. It would be small enough not to be a real advantage, nothing in-game would be hurt, but it would still mean that CCP is rewarding the loyal customers.

OR how about a Vet clothing line or accessories, like badges? Or Vet ship skins?

CCP is rewarding the loyal customers, they are fixing the game.

Considering the billions of assets I accumulated over the years, not to mention the amount of SPs, I would say loyalty rewards itself already.

Unlike at a phone company where your phone doesn't upgrade every few weeks or the lines don't get progressively faster the longer you use them.

You've obviously never dealt with telecoms companies in the UK, new customers get all of the things, existing customers get screwed.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

What the op is asking is for the space station for 10 year vets to be released. They announced it back in 2012 or 213 but never materialized.

Yaay!!!!

Never materialising is better than it being Incarna'd tbh.

It never came to being because it honestly made no sense. Still doesn't. As a 10.5 year vet I just want a little banner on my forum pic that says vet. That would be enough lol

Looking on how telecom companies work

My telco raises my rates once or twice a year despite having been with them for close to six years now (they're the only game in town if I want more than dial-up). I've called in trying to get discounts or some sort of offer, but they always say that nothing is available, or that special discounts are only for new subscribers.

If my telco were run similar to how CCP is currently being run, I would have awesome service for the same price I was paying when I started.

As it is, in the last six years, my service has only increased in speed from 15/15 to 20/20 (and that was this year) while the cost has doubled over that time.

CCP, please don't run yourselves like a telco.

No one should ever, ever, ever look to telecom companies for a good business model.

Ive been with Verizon for phone service for nearly 20 years now, and I have not gotten jack from them. So no, that's ok.

Your telco doesn't give you anything as a loyal customer. What they do is stop ripping you off so badly and allow you to pay what normal companies in the rest of the world charge their customers.

CCP charges whatever it is they charge (but it's definitely not a ripoff) and it's comparable to all other sub based MMOs. I doubt they'd stay in business if they started cutting prices.

Don't even think to compare the two. It makes you look dumb.

So.... I would get 11 free days... I've forgotten to put a new skill for longer than that. Doesn't mean much tbh. What would be cooler is a medal/achievement/reward/whatevs.

OH WAIT!!! DID SOMEONE SAY THE VETERAN STATION PROMISED FANFEST 2013...

No idea what you are talking about as I browse the forums from the awesomeness of the bitter vet 10 year station pleasure hubs.... oh, wait, that never happened.

Very strange that Eve doesn't reward loyalty like virtually every other game. Maybe not rewarding us is more "Eve" that rewarding us would be. Actually to really be "Eve" we'd get podded by CCP after undocking on our anniversary as many times as the years we've played.

Eve is a cold harsh place in every way!

What? Somewhere in a comment in some forum thread where no one will ever find it again? Oh well very official, the usual CCP communication thing I guess.

Oh wait there was something else... that mystery code for the collectors box thing!! Which will get us tons of bonuses and stuff over the years, not just that one PLEX and a spacehip skin from a different game who does not exist yet? Was that abandoned too?

uh... have you checked your account? I got a rorq skin, a free ship, and I think some other items form it. You should prolly check your account manager cause stuff is coming in via that
