The '''Veteran Rewards Program''' was a system released in [[Issue 8]] that rewarded players for every three months that their account was active. Veteran Rewards were for "''time played'', not ''time paid''" - a player was not rewarded until ''after'' the required time span elapsed. For instance, a player would not get the [[Trustworthy Badge]] and related rewards until ''after'' three months passed. The time did not have to be continuous. If a player played for three months, took a break for a month, then played another three months, they would gain the six month badge.

With [[City of Heroes Freedom]], they ended the Veteran Rewards Program. Introduced to replace it was the '''[[Paragon Rewards Program]]'''. Players who have Veteran Rewards are grandfathered into the Paragon Rewards Program. These players may have some or all pre-chosen for them, to make sure no player loses access to something they already have access to under the Veteran Rewards Program.

This article describes paid-for or restricted features as they were before the 2012 shutdown. Homecoming has no such restrictions or charges.

Since there are no subscription charges on Homecoming, there are no Veteran Rewards. The badges are awarded for getting Veteran Levels, and the rewards are available for all players, either automatically or from the P2W Vendor.

Overview

Community veteranrewards.jpg

The Veteran Rewards Program was a system released in Issue 8 that rewarded players for every three months that their account was active. Veteran Rewards were for "time played, not time paid" - a player was not rewarded until after the required time span elapsed. For instance, a player would not get the Trustworthy Badge and related rewards until after three months passed. The time did not have to be continuous. If a player played for three months, took a break for a month, then played another three months, they would gain the six month badge.

City of Heroes Freedom

With City of Heroes Freedom, they ended the Veteran Rewards Program. Introduced to replace it was the Paragon Rewards Program. Players who have Veteran Rewards are grandfathered into the Paragon Rewards Program. These players may have some or all pre-chosen for them, to make sure no player loses access to something they already have access to under the Veteran Rewards Program.
