Good News for Veteran EQ players!
As part of EverQuest's 6th Anniversary celebration, the game team is giving current EQ players (based on your total subscription length) one special Veteran Reward for every year that you've been an active EverQuest subscriber! This is very good news for six year vets! It means that you'll be getting six Veteran Rewards!
Note: you'll find the Veteran Rewards tab in the game's AA user interface.
Even better news: From April 11th to May 11th, any current EQ player can purchase a one-year EQ subscription for a special price ($99.99) and get next year’s Veteran Reward (based upon total subscription time) at no additional cost! And, for you six year veteran EQ players, this is a chance to get an exclusive 7th year Veteran Reward at no additional cost.
A special note: Veteran Rewards remain with each character for as long as that character exists. For every year that a player has been subscribed, they will be able to claim the Rewards on one character.
Veteran Rewards are as follows:
Year 1
Lesson of the Devoted: A character will gain double-XP for 30-minutes every 24 hours. When this reward is in effect, the character will be surrounded by a special blue-white glow.
Year 2
Infusion of the Faithful: This reward grants increased run speed for 15 minutes once every 24 hours.
Year 3
Chaotic Jester: Once every 24 hours, a character can summon a Bristlebane puppet for 15 minutes. During that time, the puppet randomly casts various spells that provide benefits or minor penalties.
Year 4
Expedient Recovery: Once a week, this "Back to New" reward summons all of a player's corpses back to him, and gives back all XP that was on the corpses.
Year 5
Steadfast Servant: Once every 24 hours, a creature is summoned that stays in the area for a half hour, buffing and healing player characters nearby.
Year 6
Staunch Recovery: Once every three days, a character is healed back to full health, mana, and endurance.
Year 7
Intensity of the Resolute: Once every 24 hours, a character's melee attacks, damage spells and heals are increased for five minutes. When this reward is in effect, the character will be surrounded by a glow of energy.

For the corpse recovery, if the corpse can't be rezzed you won't get XP back from it but it will still be summoned to you.
All times listed are in real time, not in-game time.

Lol, I seriously doubt EQ's going to exist that long. I'd say the servers will go down in 5 more years, unless they pull something great off that causes a big population boost which I doubt will happen.

Is there a way to check your accounts age without re-activating it?

That's the crappy part about this deal, I've been reading on the official forums about it and it seems this advantage is good only if you constantly keep paying to play the game without stopping at all which is quite retarded if that's true.

It's not by acct creation date, its going by the total time you've been a subscriber. It's like buying AA's, the more money you've given them the more you get.

Even though I've been playing the account since release, it's going to count starting at the time I cancelled and resubscribed last year?

No, the total time. If over the last 6 years you've had your acct subscribed for say 30 months, then 10 months off, then 32 months of paying again, it should count that as 62 months or 5 years.

Please answer these questions without consulting any reference or search materials. This will establish your reply as something more than just guesswork and mindless blathering.
1) How old is the oldest MUD which is still active?
2) Approximately how many players are on simultaneously?
3) How old is the oldest pay-only text-based "MMO" game?
Sincerely,
Mr. Occulis

If anything they are just going to keep consolidating servers over time. EQ is going to stay around for a long time.

I'll probably go back once more before they shut them down and macroquest around and see how long it takes to get banned.

Ashenor started in .5 beta. Does this mean he gets a bonus since he was there at the very beginning?

Great question. I think the answer is a resounding, 'yes.'

Yeah, that was my point. There are pay-only MUDs out there going on 15 years. For a text-mode game.
