What Birthday present would you like?

Well for anyone that doesn't know, Ryzom is 2 years old on September 19.

If you could see something added to the game as a 'gift' for long term players (maybe only ones here since retail), what would it be?

Possible suggestions are a new special emote similar to the FBT one. Or maybe a new title.....

What about presents for all? Something along the lines of the candy canes?

Another reboot wouldnt go a miss *gets digging gear and goes into PR*

Seriously:
A practical present wouldnt go a miss, i like candy canes especially as i do staff but their not the most damaging staffs around :)

An additional kitin lair in PR would be a pretty nice reward for me :)

And a selection of RP/creative/research titles ;)

But... maybe I missed something... If the GAME has a birthday why do the PLAYERS get presents??? Shouldn't it be the other way around ??? Players giving presents to the devs and such? :P

ear and nose hair, suitable for old timers ;)

Failing that a non armour type hat you could wear with light or meduim.

Some way to gain Honour Points. I think the honour point system could add a lot of interesting details to the game. Maybe some missions could give honour points.

A hit point refresh on all OP or old lands items. Meaning they would refill the HP on them.

One of those fancy gift type deals again. The Easter Eggs from way back when were done really well, popping all over the place and still being found weeks later. I wasn't too keen on the Xmas gifts that were gone in no time and 3/4 of the population never saw. If you are going to drop presents, maybe even some news post well in advance so everyone knows would be nice.

Release the Ring.

Announce that you received 20 Million Euros in funding and that you are tripling the development team (1 group for Rites, One group for Progressing the story, and one on your current priorities), you know something that would really knock our socks off. :D

i would really appreciate if they would remove this old bug that in server/season reset all sups/excel and bosses. it just does not make sence.

Well I think so far most of the suggestions have been more "wishlist" items than maybe what you had in mind philu, but personally I think just some kind of title for anyone who's account has been active constantly since release (ie never cancelled or suspended or whatever). That would be pretty neat, and hopefully not too tricky to bring in. Maybe "Old git" or something similar would be appropriate? ;)

While something shiny would be cool I think it'd be a bit of a waste; they hardly ever get brought out and unless they already were working on it I think its a bit late to expect then to intro something at such short notice :o I'm hopeful they'll do something like the easter eggs / presents on the day but I wouldn't be crushed if not :p

*pouts*

my account lapsed for a week due to losing net connection at same time as getting a new debit card so dont like the above suggestion. Lets just stick with Sept'04 starters :)

how about giving the old timers the plans to craft candy canes, that would be fun and virtually no effort for nevrax i imagine.. failing that another comedy weapon would be cool. yubo launcher maybes :-)

Beards.

I'm beginning to think Nevrax are pogonophobic.

Yes, I just added that last line because 'beards' wasn't enough characters.
