The Dedicated and Loyal titles....

[Canston]

<DIV>I'm not sure where to post this question so forgive me if this is the wrong forum.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I was wondering why the titles you earn for subcription loyalty are not a claimed item of their own?  It would be nice if they were one per charater and not expended after 3.  I would like all my characters to carry the Dedicated.  Some things are one per character no matter how many times you use them.  Is there any way to make the titles one per character also?  Not sure what the harm would be or why they made em a limited gift item.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Just curious.  I hope this is a change they consider in the future.</DIV>

[Elorah]

<P>If I remember correctly, the /claim items that are 1 per character are ones that come with the expansions and adventure packs (such as the Monkey and Bonsai tree).  Although the plant does not fall under this....  lol</P> <P>Although things like the title would be nice to be able to have for all characters on the account, I can understand why the potions are limited to 3 /claims.</P> <P> </P>

<DIV>They should offer a respec on claimed items... I lost so many good items along the years that I have next to nothing left. If they made everything lore and no trade it would be possible for all characters on an account to have all the items... I agree with the poster it shouldnt make a difference at all to gameplay even he potions, if someone wants 5 crafters they have them, potions or not.</DIV>

[SisterTheresa]

<P>Yes, I think it would be nice.  I have gone through characters in the past until I settled on my main now.</P> <P>If I get any new claims, I won't even touch them until I know I want to use them on my character or wait to make a new one.</P> <P>I don't have any claims left which bites :smileysad:</P>

[MadBarman]

The titles should be on their own as a claim item anyway. My main is level 70 and I wouldn't mind the title. But I don't want to waste the xp potions on him. <div></div>

[Lysaer30]

<P>It does seem a shame that the titles aren't per character. How may of us have created characters with good intentions of levelling them and devoting time to them, only to realise the class wasn't quite what we were looking for. Deleted character =  deleted title.</P> <P>I stupidly didn't even realise until deleting a lvl 20 Defiler that my 'the Dedicated' title had gone. Now I'm a noob again whenever I have a new character! Maybe thats what SOE wants....us not to make new characters :smileywink:</P> <P> </P>

What will come after the loyal, the dedicated...? Do another title is coming? Just wondering.I think the no-trade items (such as the bonzai) are limited to 3 per accounts so people don't abuse. I know they are no trade, but if it was one per character, as much as you want, someone could create a char, claim the bonzai, place it into its main's house, delete the char, repeat. So the person will end up with 50 bonzai and so on. Will be a bit ridiculous. But I don't see why limiting the titles though.<div></div>

[Elorah]

<P>Actually, as a person who loves decorating houses..  I know a few people that have done that exact thing....  lol</P> <P>But only because there are so few choices in Plants in game.  You can only have so many potted palms in a house....:smileywink:</P>

[MythicalMino]

I have to agree here.... Take the dragon pet that came with the CE. I bought the CE....and have used the dragons, but deleted the characters aftera awhile because I didn't care much for that character. So, here I am....would love to have the dragon pet, would give me a reason to go to my "house".... I will never understand why SOE did this stuff this way....and I have often wondered about it, but nobody seems to have any answers. And as far as I know, SOE has never given any explanation as to why they limited things like this (the loyal titles, the dragon pets, ect)..... If i have an account, and that account has rewards, I would think that each character on that account could use those rewards....but, maybe I am just not "in touch" with things.... <div></div>

[HazlenutElf]

The dragon pets are tradable.

[DerDrac]

Now i could be wrong on this, been a while since i made an alt but i could've sworn that you could get all the account age claims on ever character you make.I remember making an alt and getting all those so i would have a larger bag, as well as the fireworks, and all the xp potions. Now i didnt check to see if the titles came with but i know they were tied to those claims before.You can also get a new monkey on every character and if you are dilligent enough, fill your house with monkeys.The plant was a 1 time thing, but i believe you can give it to alts, the dragon was tradeable, the boots from the pre pre order are worthless after level 45 as you can get them as a heritage quest and they will have stats by then, besides, 10percent run speed is almost unnoticeable anyway. The paintings and snow globes or whatever else we got were 1 time things. Don't remember since i havent been in my house since the broker revamp. I'll check tonight on an alt with no /claims and see.<div></div>

[GreenHillZo]

hmm i just tried it, says i have claimed all of this promotion on the 1 year reward on all my alts too. the other account age claims are limited to a certain amount too. (3 total etc) <div></div>

[Agraco]

I couldn't agree more with the original poster. In my opinion, there shouldn't even be a limit in how may claims allowed in total as long as there remains a rule of one claim per character. What is the incentive of creating other characters or paying for Station Players (If you don't play any of the other MMORPGS) if you're not able to provide the new avators with the same earned veteran rewards as your other characters such as XP potions.

[mellowknees72]

<P>I completely agree.  I'm currently levelling a new character who is likely to become my secondary main (if that makes sense)...and unfortunately, I didn't realize that the vet rewards were limited to 3 characters.  I'd love to be able to give her "The Dedicated" title.  XP and TS potions would be nice, but I'd be okay with just being able to claim the title for her. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P>

[GwenRelentless]

<P>They should definatly make titles claimable on all of a person's toons.</P> <P>As far as claming other items, I personally think they should make a new class of items called SELF-TRADE in addition to NO-TRADE. Self trade items would be placeable in a person's shared bank but not tradeable in a trade window. I dont think that would be so hard to implement. They could use this new item type for current no-trade novelty items or quested items. For example if you do a heritage quest with your main character and recieve a no-trade item you cant use, it would be nice if you could give it to an alt. You did the work for the item, you should get to pass it down to a new member of your family like an heirloom. Heck you could even call the items HEIRLOOM items instead of SELF-TRADE.</P>

[Daedalus Raistlin]

This has annoyed me too.After playing on and off for a while with different characters, I decided that when PvP came out, I'd go there.Now my account has only PvP characters, except my first ever character which holds all my CE items.But since I had used my loyalty rewards on my PvE characters (which are now deleted), I can't get any on PvP.I had been hoping that we'd at least get a fresh influx of rewards for PvP characters but no :I can't see why something as trivial as titles should be 3 per account, and hope they allow them on all characters.<div></div>

[Lunah]

Have to agree here, every character on a vet account should be able to claim the titles once they reach that milestone. I play multiple mains (note I didnt say alts) even though I only play one at a time. I would LOVE for all of them to have their dedicated titles. Instead only 3 got it and sadly one of them is an alt I meant to be a main but didnt like after level 41. /sigh

[Kaleyen]

Least you guys can use your titles, I'm just Liluk Ferox the Exiled (of which I can't change <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> )<div></div>

[Lexi357]

<P><STRONG>I also agree with the Op, I mean they are our toons, and the same account that has been around the same amount of time, why not be able to share titles (and as someone else said, items) specific to that account.</STRONG></P> <P><STRONG>I had two accounts, the original account still remains but with only one toon on it because I don't have the heart to totally delete it. I did move one toon from that account to this one but aside for the items she had claimed and were on her person/in her bank she lost all the other benefits including her dedicated title, so when I moved her over I HAD to take one of my (limited) Loyal titles and put it on her. I Play 5 toons and 2 of them have no title/significance. If I had realized we didn't get titles for each of our toons I would have saved up coin and bought her a title from the city merchant and still kept my layal/dedicateds for the other toons. </STRONG></P> <P><STRONG>I can see how some of the items we get could be exploited but how can you exploit a title or a house pet and who cares if someone has a room full of bonsia trees? I should think that they could be made tradeable within toons of the account and maybe, like with the trees ect that have status reduction maybe they could configure it so that a limit is set and after say (6) the max amount of toons per regular account  then they don't give status reduction, they just "eye candy"</STRONG></P> <P><STRONG>Lets face it folks, we are human and subject to flaws and errors and indecisions so I make 5 toons and of those 5 I only stick with 2 of em the others are deleted but those 5 have already claimed all that they can, why not once a toon is deleted, the said claim goes back into the pool of choices So I make toon A she takes the bonsi and they loyal and gets the poitions, if she uses them they poof if she is subsequentlly deleted they get recycled and are back in the /claim inventory and can be used on another toon.</STRONG></P> <P><STRONG></STRONG> </P> <P><STRONG></STRONG> </P>

[Magic]

Hey!  Recycling the claimed items from a deleted character back into the pool for reuse by another character is a wonderful idea!  Let's hope they make it come true!

[DerDrac]

Just checked this out and i agree with the OP. They give you 3 of each it seems. There's a number to the right that says Total: 1 or something like that. Means i have one left. Joy!Sucks, i want all my chars to have xp potions and titles, [Removed for Content] is up with not doing that for us "dedicated" players!<div></div>

[Callale]

<DIV>Agreed. I long ago deleted my first character, along with my talking statue, wand of forgiveness, etc. Would be great to get those back. If at all possible. </DIV>
