<div class="IPBDescription">Random question.</div>I just pre-ordered NS2 Special Edition. Will our Vet/Consti status carry over into NS2? I know it's not a huge deal but the recognition is nice. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" /> This may have been answered before in the forum so sorry if it's something I just missed.

either way, I honestly don't think it will carry over. I don't mind....
I liked my Vet medal. Wouldn't mind having it back <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink-fix.gif" />
Obviously it does, considering these threads keep popping up. To some, they either feel they've earned it, or they appreciate being recognised for helping.
Almost every financial backing these days comes with benefits, I don't see why this should be different, particularly as it is so trivial to implement.
It's a way of saying thank you, and particularly for recent donors (who haven't had their icon splashed around in game before), the only recognition one can get for their support.
But that they do new icons for ns2.
As people that got icons for ns got them for ns not ns2 and plus a lot of those people are no longer about.
agree.
but i have to say vet icon has missed it's meaning when it was distributed, because all you had to do was to sign up your clan for this tournament which has nothing to do with a Veteran. Nevertheless it now has a meaning because it displays that youre around for a long time.

You said the world yourself, donor. And if you give a donation, you don't expect back it would just be nice. You're not an investor who expects something in return but you're a donor who does it off your own back, like a charity based system. Anyone who expects something back for donating to anything should not have done so in the first place.

Do I get a vet icon then? I've been around for a long time too, but I've never been involved in competitive play so I coudn't get the icon. Having an icon saying you have been around for awhile might not be a great idea either. If it's anything like the vet icon I remember there were a bunch of people pretty much saying "I have this icon, I'm better then you, listen to me"
But jeah, it's just an icon anyway :-) just wanted to say that the vet icon isn't probably the best way to show that somebody has been here for a long time

Last time I checked almost every donor receives a little something in return for their giving...
I gave blood a month ago. I received a t-shirt.
I gave two bags full of clothes to Goodwill. Tax deduction! Yay!
I ran a 10k for cancer victims. I actually had to pay money but I got a t-shirt!
My point is... just because you donate doesn't mean you don't expect anything... normally you get a "constellation gift". Of course, any gift you receive in return for your donation should not be the reason for the donation.
I had a Vet icon and I have the constellation icon. I had the vet icon only because I was in a clan at the time. And the constellation icon was my way of saying thanks to the developers. At the time, the vet icon "overrided" the constellation icon but I donated anyhow.

Donation MEANS giving something with out expecting anything in return. If you get something, cool, it is their way of thanking you, just don't expect it. Also please don't ever demand it as it just makes you look like a tool, and that is what we are all getting at. You donated to UWE, be happy that you did. If they implement the constie icons they will, if they don't? So what? I really doubt they will implement vet icons as I think that program is officially dead (with a bad taste left over).
Also, the phrase you were looking for, I must assume, is "consolation gift", however that is still the wrong term (consolation gift = "sorry <bad thing happened> here is something to make up for it"). The correct phrase would have been "a thank you gift" (or something along those lines).
Random note:
Any one still happen to have a link to the old story they posted when first activating the constie program? It explained the name and was rather cool.
