Hello! This is subject is mostly focusing on Veterans. I have been playing Wizard101 for 10 years and when I saw all of the Decaversary stuff, I thought there was going to be rewards for people who've been playing for at least 10 years but it turns out there wasn't. So, I think people who have been playing for 10 years should get some type of little reward, it doesn't have to be big or anything, maybe a statue, a piece of gear, a wand, or even a badge. That it all I am asking to support the Veterans who have been playing for a decade, including me. Thanks!
A few years back, KI had actually thought about and implemented the idea you are now suggesting.
The idea was this (which actually went into effect for a brief time period), a code was available for each player to enter and a redeem a prize.
Depending on the age (when it was created) of your account would depend on the prize you receive, longer accounts received a rare dragon mount (Frontier Dragon).
Other prizes included furniture items but no crowns if you're wondering.
Now, many persons found outrage with this as issues kept arising with when accounts were created etc. etc. Resulting in backlash.
As such, the event was discontinued.
So, while I see your point in rewarding loyal customers, it can be extremely problematic to do so.
While I appreciate that loyalty has value it's a bit messed up for an E10 game to reward people simply for making an account X number of years ago.
When rewards have been relating to the date the account was made, it was not dependent on that account having been used regularly during that time. There are different way to pay and taking breaks gives no penalty.
As such, why should an account created 10 years ago be rewarded simply for being made 10 years ago? It's literally E10, the players W101 accommodate were not even necessarily born 10 years ago and accounts made then are predominantly adults or at least close to being adults now.
There is something disturbing for adults playing a kid-friendly game to be getting exclusive rewards for being born before the target market who get nothing because they didn't make an account when they were a toddler lol.
If you've been a customer and played consistently for 10 years then I respect you and I understand your point. I also think when it comes to a childrens game it's important children don't miss anything special just because they have literally not been alive long enough

Oh, I did not realize that happened. Thank you so much for telling me.

Besides that entire year was devoted to giving us prizes and free gifts. It was a birthday celebration, everyone playing deserved to get gifts ( and not just a select few... ) * Very proud of my dragon statue *
