Why give us 3 Veteran Display Cases when we can sell on only 1 character?

Maybe in case you're like me and switch mains and go to another server.

I have characters on different servers that use em that way... so your not alone.

So people selling on the SE can add more value to their character? Or if you transfer the account a character is on you can have a case on a new account then...

Then they delist after 24 hrs, after each character was last on broker.

i´m sry, for my statement. you´re right and i´m confused o_O why the hell only 1 per server? doesnt make any sense to me o_O so long S.T. Zergosch

TMK, it is 1 seller per server batch. I can sell with a single character on my EU server batch (Runnyeye server) character, and at the same time, sell with a single character on the US server batch. If I had characters on other server batches - French, Japanese, German - I could still have 1 seller per each of those server batches. As far as per server themselves, I've never bothered to try more than one server on a single batch as I like having all my chars on one server.

Besides sometimes one have picked a veteran reward and deletes that char, then it is nice to be able to pick the same reward again with the new char.

Or who started fresh on a different server. Or... I agree with Kendricke (strange, I know).  Also, the veteran's case is not the only thing in that veteran's award.  You might want it for one of the other items.  I've taken veteran's rewards for one of the items and banked the others (like the XP bonus potions when I'm level capped).

[Korpo]

I was able to sell from my Mystic on LDL and my Coercer on Kithicor at the same time. It's one character per server at a time.

What if you have a character in Freeport, a character in Qeynos, and then another in Neriak or Kelethin, and you use each of them to sell at different times? Then you'd be using all three of those babies, no doubt. I just wish they could be used for storage if you don't want to use them for selling. I'd LOVE to see storage containers in houses (similar to SWG). I don't even care if each item in the storage thingy counts towards my total items. I just want to be able to put my toys away sometimes and clean up my room!

In fact, I have never claimed any of the one-per-account items for that very reason. Someday I may have a character that I will want to have one of those items.

Wow.. I feel like a noob then myself lol.. I'm fairly certain that I have sold things on my Guard while not logging in on him for weeks at a time. I mainly play my Assassin now. I know that if you search the broker for your other characters, that you will not see them. But I was under the impression that while you are offline, ALL of your characters would show up on the broker. If you logged one of your characters in however, all of your other characters (besides the one that you are currently online with) will disappear from the broker. I periodically make a bunch of armor or go out harvesting and then I post those items on my Guard, then I won't log in on him for a month and when I do, alot of things have sold.. It's strange to realize that you've gone through the game for so long not realizing what exactly has been going on lol.. has this been 100% confirmed that while you are completely offline, that only one of your characters is selling at a time? Maybe I'll get a friend to search for my toons on the broker while I'm offline and let me know what he finds. This thread has me curious now; thanks for starting it! After almost 4 years, it's about time I get some answers haha..

I was a little concerned about this too. I got my veteran Display case a few months ago and i was happy and placed it up instantly. Then i realized 2 more were waiting for me in /claim was like "thats pointless o.o".

If I needed to go to my alt's house to drop an item, I can't go there, I have scroll to their name. Sometimes it's not there.

<p>Yes I find the extra cases a tad annoying especially as I can't use them for furniture.</p><p>But what really ticks me off is the potions rewards --- I would like to be able to trade those to my other toons -- especially the ones that boost tradeskills.</p><p>Since there are 3 components to veteran's rewards -- I wish we could spread out these between more than 3 characters.==  </p>
