Carrying Over Outfit Glory

[Manitou]

As we await more information on PlanetSide Next (or whatever they decide the name shall be), another important factor I think the developers must not overlook - the legacy of the participants of the prior war (game).

The Dragon Wolves and other specific Outfits have been in existence and actually had some action from the very start. (True, we have had some down time.) I firmly believe that it is important to grant some form of recognition to those Outfits who have stood the test of time and have earned their place in the annals of the previous triumvirate war.

Does this mean special abilities? No, not at all. But it does possibly mean specialized decals or emblems. The one thing that was an added bonus were the awards and decorations you could earn in-game on the armor. Personally this meant a lot to me, and I know it did for my Outfit. Why not carry these accolades over into the new game?

The camaraderie fostered by this simple "eye-candy" would sure to be a draw to former players and veterans of the game. Also, this would encourage recruits or new players to seek Outfits that have some previous knowledge of the dynamics of the game (even though this newer version may turn out to be somewhat different).

This kind of Outfit recognition has deep roots in history and has always been a source of pride within groups who fought together as organized units. I look forward to what may come out of this idea if they choose to use it.
