Publish 42 New Veteran Rewards
UO Team 23 Aug 2006 00:00:00 EST
In appreciation for our long-term players, Ultima Online currently offers a number of Veteran Reward gift items that you can’t get anywhere else in the game. The more months a UO game account remains active, the more gifts that account can claim. There are currently multiple vet reward sets for 1 through 5 year veterans of UO. We are in the process of adding a new choice for year 1 vets, as well as choices for year 6 through year 9 vets.
All reward options are blessed.
1st Year Vet Reward: The following item is an additional choice being added to the list of reward choices for players whose accounts have been active for 12 months or more. Only those characters on accounts aged 12 months or more will be able to select or use this new reward item.
- Red Soulstone
- Allows you to store and transfer skills between characters on the same account
- Can be used as a decoration in your house
- Soulstones are account specific – Soulstones do not work on accounts other than the one that was used to claim it. For more information on Soulstones, click here.
6th Year Vet Reward: The following is the 6th year reward item that will be available to players whose accounts have been active for 72 months or more. Only those characters on accounts aged 72 months or more will be able to select or use the 6th year reward item.
- Player Statue Maker
- This is a decoration for your house
- Can be used to make a statue of yourself
- The statue will mimic your appearance, including clothing, armor and weapons
- You can choose among three poses for the statue
- There are three statue makers – each uses a different type of material:
- Bronze
- Alabaster Marble
- Jade
- Statue makers can only make statues out of one of the material types (if you pick a bronze statue maker, that particular statue maker will not be able to make statues out of marble or jade.)
- Each material will have a small selection of available hues
- Statue will be mounted on a plinth
- The plinth will have a plaque with the character’s name and the date it was created
- The statue is re-deedable, so you can change it as many times as you wish (e.g., new pose, new wearables, new character, new hue, etc. Everything but the material type.)
- When re-deeded, you can choose to restore the previous statue. This lets you move statues after they are created.
7th Year Vet Reward: The following is the 7th year reward item that will be available to players whose accounts have been active for 84 months or more. Only those characters on accounts aged 84 months or more will be able to select or use the 7th year reward item.
