Veteran's of WoW

Community General Discussion
1

Going to start this by saying that I don’t think I’m better than anyone else who plays the game. This includes players who just recently started the adventure that is World of Warcraft. We are a community, and skill levels vary no matter who you are or when you started playing.

I was just wondering if Blizzard would ever consider recognizing players who have been playing since launch or players who have been playing before The Burning Crusade. I mean by maybe providing a title or status that displays when they started playing.

For years many players have stuck around to be part of a great community and I believe that a title or form recognition would be a good thing. I know many people will troll and say that this is crazy, but I would like to hear opinions.

Everyone knows who we are though because we always announce it when posting. We’re like vegan crossfitters!

Speaking as a player (and character) that has been around for a while, our main privilege is that we have things like my Argent Dawn tabard and Hordebreaker title that just can’t be gotten anymore.

FFXIV does something like this: you receive cosmetic rewards based on how many days your account has been active (and paid for). They implemented that pretty quick after the game re-launched as ARR though; it might be a bit late for WoW to consider much other than the title OP mentioned or something else not terribly valuable.

“Hand of A’dal”

But really, I’d like it if they had a veterans reward system.

Did you not get the 10 year statue? I did.

That being said, maybe they can give me Galleon as well.

Blizz sent consistent subscribers an Orc figurine a few years ago, but an in-game cosmetic would be cool too.

Have one of the unavailable BC titles, or better yet Scarab Lord. That pretty much will tell everyone how long you’ve played.

Titles would be cool. Something like…

Scarab Lord isn’t really indicative since they added new servers and people could transfer to them and do the AQ gate opening for those servers.

Who also vape.

Lord of the Rings Online has something like this. For every year you’re a subscriber, you get a new portrait frame.

I wouldn’t be against it.

Thanks for asking. I didn’t. I started in 2007. Have to look into that.

I like how you’re thinking

Love your idea except this one. How about Classic Tovi? Tovi the Original? Founder Tovi?

Nm this gets my vote. Love it.

They already did that in 2015, which, if you can’t remember that, suggests you’re less of a veteran player than you might think.

I have Cenarion Combat Badges in my bank.

That’s all the reminder I need.

My first account is long gone so I guess I’d miss out :cry: but I like the idea of a title

Above the head of each player, they should display the amount of money that player has spent on subs
