A new rank with no downsides? +1 Only problem I could see is that it has nothing to do with the economy.

 

I think it should be a [V] next to your name and only if you were a member for 1.5 or 2 years+

 

1.5 years I think is good

 

The old days kevin :p

 

I would love to have this, it basically shows who are the older players and game admins could do the applications.. +1

 

I just gave you you're first rating woot.

 

And 1.5 years, by THE FORUM JOIN DATE! (This is for you, people who lie and say they didn't hear of the forum for 2 years)

 

Would be neat, if it was something very short and small like [V]. No perks, nothing long or super-noticeable. Think of it more like a...badge.

Although - personal opinion - this would be better as a forum medal. There's a chance that the forum has an option to award every user from specific dates with a medal. (Not positive on this being a feature/option, though.) This would be the only logical way to have a veteran-type recognition with the size of our userbase. Sorting through the 18,000+ members would be nearly impossible unless it's automatic.

I suppose an application process could work - for in-game, as I do not think Staff can award forum medals - but I personally would like to see it automated for everyone of a specific age (i.e., forum medal).

As for age to get the veteran tag/medal... I say make it based more on amount of time on server to current age of ECC. Roughly 1/2 to 2/3rds the age of whatever ECC's current age is.

For example, when ECC turns three years old, veterans would either need to be 1.5 years, or 2 years; or if ECC was five years old, veterans would either be 1.66 years, or 2.5 years. 10 years? 3.33 years, or 5 years. Maybe a place between half to third.

This is because in the future, ECC could be 10 years old; having been on only 1.5 years at that time wouldn't really be "veteran," at least in the way I see the word "veteran." So some type of equation/formula/percentage would be better.

 

Youre making it more complicated than it is just stick to the basics, an in game rank for people that have played longer than 1.5- years.

 

NOOOOO! I'd get the medal 8 days later!

 

how do u put the vote box in?

 

No, but I mean for those people who joined the forum in 2013 and claim they've played since 2011 and apparently have never heard of the forums :p

 

See JBuks the thing is that I have played on a different account and it has an earlier forum join date... Soo which would I use :eek:

 

I think it would be, if you want the Veteran tag it has to be based on the account you want it for's forum date. ie: You could apply for each individually depending on their forum date.

 

Donut! It's been awhile since I saw you. xD I think this would be a great idea, no perks, or anything, just a small little appreciation for the older players, like myself. :)

 

Nahh, too difficult. Those who used different accounts wouldn't have it, ect. Sorting it in-game wouldn't work easily. It's too complicated for when ECC gets older. Forum medals possibly, ect ect ect.

Aka, Sounds superfluous in my opinion.
