Loyalty program for long term players?

Juicy_V

Perhaps suggested already but here's an idea:

Why dont you implemement some kind of loyalty program for long term players (activity rate tbd)
This will keep players playing knowing every so now and then e.g. on yearly base they will get rewarded for continuiing to play CF

Perhaps some weapons and the longer you have been a member the better rewards you get?

For example:

1 year - knife stripes or something or a 1 year anniversary hat/backpack etc
2 year - some kind of reskinned m4 or ak for the 2 year anniversary
3 year - shovel axe whatever...you catching my drift?
4 year - etc etc

Now all of this should be looked at seperately from ribbons...in this case someone who doesnt have the honourable soldier ribbon could still get a yearly reward thus account is active (yes i still have my ribbon) Why? Because a die hard hacker will not last longer then a year i guess before that account is banned anyway. And also hackers from the past get a chance to redeem themselves knowing good things await them in the future with these special loyalty rewards. Same goes for others who have lost that ribbon in various other ways.

what do you think?

+1 nice suggestion but too bad z8 would never do it

Great idea, +1 for extra rewards.

So far, the rewards are only two ribbons.

So an account made in 2009 but plays only once a month will get perm weapons?

1 and 2 years anniversary, you get the 2 veteran ribbons

3 and 4 years, maybe perm character accessories would be nice

I think that is about right since it's based on how long you have been registered rather than how active you are.

Here's how I think of it. The big reason they wouldn't do that is because, they wouldn't make money, correct? There are other reasons of course but that is the main reason.
Now, lets say somebody buys 100,000+ zp in a couple months to a year, but doesn't get anything permanent. That would be a pretty big reason NOT to keep playing the game. So they did what you have just said, that is good enough reason for some players to keep playing. Remember, this game is so powerful that if they stay on long enough to get the weapon they will be compelled to buy more zp anyways. But, not a lot of players, and they still wouldn't necessarily make money, especially if the players never buy any zp.
So on that thought, they should make small permanent loyalty rewards for time since register/ other challenge. So the achievements could be:
Play for (X hours) in the course of (X years), and buy 50,000 zp
Have been registered for the course of (X years), and win a permanent blackmarket/slaughter ticket weapon.
Etc, etc.
There is pretty much infinite time and accomplishment variations, and plenty more things they can think up to keep making money and to keep the players happy.

Btw, i meant that winning the permanent weapon is part of the challenge, not the reward.

+1

But i doubt it would be a weapon, just items and other useless stuff lol

Singed_OP

+1 for 1 year items, like a shovel or a gun

fuNkydlL

Yeah, +1 very nice idea

LL_TK

If they give perm items, then count me in.

-1 Would ruin game modes if people were given weapons that they do not know how to use.
I get annoyed easily.

My bags are full. Gimme perm exp or gp + character items plis. Won't affect others gameplay (op weapons) and is usefull

Twinkiezz

Nice idea. Or they can do this:

Whoever doesn't play Crossfire for 2 weeks, will not get the reward.

Hey if this is for sticking with the game for years they should definitely be permanent. If we're loyal to CF, CF has to be loyal to us. AmIRight?

Sounds good.

Loyal is loyal.
