Throne of HeroesFollow

* Throne of Heroes is an AA rewarded to players who have had active accounts for eight years.
It is a self-port to the Guild Lobby throne, and was added with the patch on June 13, 2006.

It sounds very useless except for those classes that can't gate. Then again, there's always the OT hammer.

Year 10 better be "DA but you can attack and cast." That, at least, would get some use.

Kind of makes the Origin AA (I think that's what it's called) useless.

its amazingly bad.

not many people have played for 8 years and can't selfgate yet.

it's not compeltely useless... there are a few events i know of where the casters are asked to bind outside the event zone in. it would be nice for them to be able to get back to GL and rebind instead of getting a tl/port to pok and hopin there's enough porters to handle it all. also handy for non gate classes to get back to GH without potions on a roaming raid target night, ie epic 2.0 hits. i'm sure wizards would love it be like having a third bind point.

Rates right up there along side the stupid jester, yea gods how I hate that thing.

But seriously if someone sticks with you virtually since day 1 all you give them is the ability to go to the throne room? Come on folks reward their loyalty with something they can really use, like maybe a exclusive weapon or armor not dropped in game. Now that would be something they and the rest of us would really like to get I bet not the ability to go to the lobby near the throne.

Melees without OT Hammer, Origin and Gate Potions rejoice!

-But how many 8 year Veterans are going to have a Melee without one of the three above? /half-assed "oops 8th year vet AA, we need an idea, we need an idea! Johnson! Whats your take?" "Hold on, lemme just gate to the Guild Hall, be right with you" "Brilliant!"

I mean Jester is quite possibly the most retarded thing ever. You summon it. It tags along and spams you with horrible jokes. Shoots off fireworks and lags the **** out of those in the area. Summons useless Food/Wine that are poisoned i'd say 75% of the time. The ONLY useful things you get from the Jester, (on a seriously rare occasion), are
a) Shrinks. Some people need shrinks on raids. But half the time you'll be shrunken, and then be grown to max height within the same minute.
b) Illusions. I personally pop Jester at the end of a raid to hopefully catch an illusion of a nearby, cool looking mob. Muramite illusion was cool....the one and only time I got it...
c) Free Mana. I mean...YOU SUMMON the Jester, and he gives a full bar of mana TO THE RANGER! I mean, holy **** you cant even kill the Jester!

Excellent idea for non-gaters...will save on gate potions and they can direct their well-earned AA's to something they could really utilize for battle...but, what kind of 'reward' is that for gaters?? I'm feeling a bit insulted here!

P.S. If the 'powers that be' are reading this, why not give the 8-year vets something they would really enjoy and use, such as 10 free AA points or something?? :-D

lmao, Guiness anyone?

I think it's kind of a sad addition. Sounds like a good idea until you start thinking about how can someone playing for 8 years not have a way to gate already, like everyone else said. I've only been on for 2, but have had the OT gate hammer on my main for awhile now.

in Macland Norrath we just want Ykesha....

yeah this kind of pisses me off i better get a refund for my orgin i wasted my aa on

Heh....it would be much better if they made a buff with HP/Mana regen for the 8 year reward....at least that would be useful to all,especially if it stacked with existing buffs/gear....
But,I suppose SOE doesn't think people who've been with the game through all the hardships deserve anything that good . oh well. Maybe a year from now it'll be different LOL
