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 for the first four milestones for players who have been in-game for 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months.
The rewards are as follows:
3 Month Milestone: Trustworthy
'¢ Trustworthy badge
'¢ Costume Piece: Trench coats
'¢ Costume Change Token given to all characters on account
At this first reward level, players unlock the ability to use trench coats on all of their characters, new and existing. Players also receive a single costume change token to take care of the cost of changing their outfit.

6 Month Milestone: Faithful
'¢ Faithful badge
'¢ Costume Piece: Greek Alphabet Chest Emblems
'¢ Costume Change Token given to all characters on account
Here players unlock the ability to have Greek Alphabet chest details on all of their characters, new and existing. Again, players receive a costume change token to take care of the cost of adding this to their character costume.

9 Month Milestone: Dependable
'¢ Dependable badge
'¢ Costume Piece: Belly Shirt for Females, Scottish Kilts for Males
'¢ Respec given to all characters on account
'¢ Costume Change Token given to all characters on account
At this point players receive the first Respec for all their characters. This respec is separate from the In-Game respecs and the (Freespecs) given out during special events. This respec is given to characters current and new, simply for having an active account for nine months or more.
This reward level also offers Male and Huge models the oft-requested (Scottish Kilt) costume option (complete with sporran). Females receive tight fitting (Belly shirts) to show off their well-toned midriffs in battle. Once again, this includes a Costume Change token to cover the costs of altering characters at the Tailor.

12 Month Milestone: Loyal
'¢ Loyal badge
'¢ Temporary Power: CHOICE: Permanent Undead Slaying Axe or Permanent Sands of Mu
'¢ Pre-Order Sprints: Rush, Dash, Quick, Surge
'¢ Base Item: Wall Mounted Weapon Displays
When City of Heroes launched, there were several (pre-order) bonuses that players could obtain, but each player was limited to one of these (special sprint) powers on their account. Now, with the Veteran Rewards program, players receive these bonuses after one year of subscription.
In addition, players are rewarded with several new Base Items including wall and floor mounted racks of weapons that are seen in the game like Arachnos maces and Circle of Thorn swords.
Finally there are the first of the Choice rewards. Each of the characters on player accounts with twelve or more months will receive the option of having a version of the Undead Slaying Axe or the Sands of Mu that does not expire. Each character can pick a different one, but only one is available per character.
