NCsoft released the details for their City of Heroes Veteran Rewards Program that will continue for a long time.

 
NCsoft announces final set of veteran rewards for City of Heroes players

The official City of Heroes® Veteran Rewards program launches this fall with the release of Issue 8: To Protect and Serve. NCsoft and Cryptic Studios have unveiled the rewards milestones for the most dedicated players who have been in-game for 27 months, 30 months, 33 months and 36 months.

Veteran Rewards months 27-36:

27 Months: Dedicated

Dedicated badge
Costume Piece: Anime-style tech armor
Costume Change Token given to all characters on account
A full costume set of anime-inspired technological armor pieces is available at this level. Heroes and villains can get a whole new unique look to their characters with this costume set, and we are even including a Costume Change token so that they can take advantage of the new set without impacting their Influence or Infamy. Like other costume rewards, this set is available for all characters on the account, present and future, so if the costume inspires players, they can make a level 1 character with the new costume pieces right out of the gate.

30 Months: Committed

Committed badge
Costume Piece: Signature Group Chest Emblem (Freedom Phalanx, Vindicators, Vanguard, Arachnos, PPD, Cage Consortium, CoT, Council)
Costume Change Token given to all characters on account

This reward level incorporates some back story elements from the City of Heroes and City of Villains games and ties them in to character costumes and supergroup bases. First included are new chest emblems from a selection of the in-game groups for characters to wear proudly. These include the Freedom Phalanx, the Vindicators, Vanguard, Arachnos, the Paragon Police Department, the Cage Consortium, Circle of Thorns, and the Council. Of course a Costume Change token comes with this reward as well.

Also included are exclusive trophies for supergroup bases. Scirocco¡¯s sword, Ghost Widow¡¯s cape, Black Scorpion¡¯s armor piece, Captain Mako¡¯s teeth, Lord Recluse¡¯s helmet, and even goo from the Hamidon. Villainous trophies include Positron¡¯s helmet, Synapse¡¯s goggles, Numina¡¯a cape, Sister Psyche¡¯s belt, Citadel¡¯s brain, Manticore¡¯s bow, and Statesman¡¯s faceplate. These trophies come complete with their own display case and look great in any base.

33 Months: Unswerving

• Unswerving badge
• Power: CHOICE: Permanent Nemesis Staff or Permanent Blackwand
• Respec given to all characters on account

Here players get a choice. Player characters can select one of the staves that Nemesis gives his troops, or the awesome Blackwand, as a prestige power. These began as temporary powers players could earn for completing certain missions. Now they can become permanent parts of player characters, like the Ghost Slaying Axe and the Sands of Mu from the 12 month reward.

The Nemesis staff is a steam-powered staff that shoots bolts of energy that deal damage, knock back foes, and may stun them. Damage: Moderate. Recharge: Long. The Blackwand is a black metal wand that feels cold in the hand, and glows with dark arcane energies. When used by those skilled in magic (i.e. of Magic origin), it increases the potency of its attacks. Damage: Moderate. Recharge: Long.

36 Months: Addicted

• Addicted badge
• Base Item: Arachnos Flyer (Villains), Longbow Chaser (Heroes)
• Power (Choice): Demon Pet, Clockwork Pet, Red Cap Pet, Rikti Monkey Pet, Robot Pet

Supergroup bases will never look the same once players park one of these babies in them! A choice of an Arachnos Flyer or a Longbow Chaser means that a player base will have a unique look to it that only comes with the three year Veteran Reward.

In addition, players get another choice for their characters. This time, they get to choose between five cuddly non-combat pets for each of their characters! That¡¯s right, these little critters are useless in combat, but they look oh-so-cute, and can be the perfect accessory for each of their character concepts. The five pets to select from are a small Demon, a renegade Clockwork, a docile Red Cap, a domesticated Rikti Monkey, and a refurbished Robot.
