Items I'd like to see available in every Founder's package (assuming there will be multiple tiers):
NOTE: I have marked each one with stars to show degree of importance (in my opinion). Three stars marks "highly important" and "must have" in the Founder's packages (each may be changed, but must be similar to what is stated). Two stars marks "interesting," "cool," and "acceptable;" I would be happy to have ones marked with two stars. One star marks ones that may be "controversial," "unimportant," and "not necessary," but do not exceed what is suggested in each of those. 1) ***One or two reserved character names. [reserved on all servers until player uses that name to create a character on any server] 2) ***All characters on the account with which the Founder's package is associated (always) start with (upon creation) an XP Booster (that is not automatically applied to the character upon creation, but is applied at the player's will). 3) ***Discounted/free one-month (minimum, may be tiered up in association with higher-valued Founder's packages) PlanetSide 2 "Membership" account status. 4) ***All Founder's packages come with a special re-skinned weapon (i.e. could be a re-skinned version of each default weapon for all classes) for all characters created on that account (forever) that is relevant to the Empire to which the characters belong. 5) ***PlanetSide [1] Veterans who purchase any Founder's package receive something special in-game for every character they make on the associated account. This could be a title and/or medal, or free Empire-themed vehicle customizations that are applicable to every vehicle that is in the game on release and any that are added to the game in the future. I just feel that the people who played PS[1] played a big role in the fact that there is a PS2 now and should be rewarded with something special (other than the early beta access) and something that will set them apart in the game without providing a gameplay advantage. 6) ***All accounts that have purchased a Founder's package gain instant access to beta (assuming packages are available before beta ends). I think Smedley said this would be the case for people who purchase a Founder's package, but I am not sure; do not quote me on this. 7) ***Special title/medal for all characters created on the associated account. This is separate from the PS[1] Veterans suggestion I have already made. 8) **Name (real name and/or character name of choice) in credits as a "Special Thanks" or "Founders Recognition." [Mechwarrior Online did something like this for the players who purchased their "Legendary Founder's" package, but I would like to see this for all tiers in PS2 if multiple options are available] 9) *All characters on the account with which the Founder's package is associated (always) start with 100 more Auraxium than the default amount. 10) *All characters on the account with which the Founder's package is associated (always) start with (upon creation) a resource Booster (that is not automatically applied to the character upon creation) that is either an Auraxium income Booster or a general resource income Booster. 11) *All characters created on an account that has purchased a Founder's package start with 5 additional Certification points. This is currently only enough to purchase one attachment for a weapon in an infantry class, so I don't consider this a "pay-to-win" action. It is also fairly easy to earn those 5 points quickly. Some other ideas that other people have suggested which I like:
I think #5 would be really cool, but I would prefer it to be some kind of cheer, rallying call, or something of that sort. It doesn't have to be an animation, but even an audible chant/roar/cheer/shout that comes from all the players (specifically originates from each individual character) of the character's Empire within a specific radius (a rather large radius) would be nice to have. A cooldown of about 10-25 minutes for this would be nice because we don't want every player spamming it all the time (this is the only potential problem I see with this feature). With #7, a simple status of "Founder" associated with the forum account would suffice, but something along these lines would be acceptable, but not important. In regards to #8, it would be nice to be able to pick a specific vehicle for this to apply to (on each character a Founder makes). It's not a significant difference, but it shouldn't be, as that would be a "pay-to-win" feature. Five seconds is a reasonable deduction. I really like #9. Any Founder who refers a player and that player purchases a month (or more) of premium PlanetSide 2 Membership for their account should receive at least a 40% discount on the next month of PlanetSide 2 Membership that they purchase. This discount should not expire until used by the account. |

"Back in 2003, we had to run 15miles through the snow on Ceryshen!!!" Maybe more so as a reward to PS Vets rather than PS2 Founders. Perhaps instead a different voice macro for PS2 founders that says something like: "[Emp Spec MAX Ability]? Boy, back when i founded PS2... there WAS no [Emp Spec MAX Ability]!!!"

What i'd like most would be unique cosmetic options (skins and/or models) to characters/vehicles/weapons but... no gold please, frankly it's lazy and a little tacky. Be more creative and a little more tasteful (no offense basti).
One skin i think would be awesome is some kind of "battle damaged" armor (like in the Space Marine game)... it could of course be done for vehicles (a vanguard with battle scars would look badass) and weapons (duct tape ftw) too. I feel it gives the impression that i've been fighting the good fight for a while now, which is adequate both for PS1 vets and for founders.  Oh, and i agree that vets should get something more too (i'm not one of them, but if i was i know i would love a little something extra). Last edited by Dagron; 2012-09-05 at 07:28 AM. |

I agree completely!! Vets should look like they have been around a while. I always loved how a repaired vehicle/aircraft would still sport bullet holes and burn marks in PS1. Maybe a free weapon unlock

How about as just one part of a founder's edition, some way of tracking outfits whose members buy it and the one who has the most founder's edition purchases gets a minor base named after them in a later continent? "Insert Outfit Name Here Peak" for example.
Also, what do 10 year EQ vets get? Kidding but actually...when it gets to SOE's 25 year anniversary, if none of your games have been running 25 years individually, what will those who are 25 year vets of one game or another get? Last edited by Stardouser; 2012-09-05 at 07:23 AM. |

I won't mind if they added a golden pistol, you can get one of those if you managed to get 50 people using a planetside 2 app thingy(marketing). I would like a title though. Or some sort of item that we can deploy and show stuff in a warpgate. And shiny stuff. Shiny vehicles and shiny armor and shiny...bling. And super secret community just for founders( Well I can dream, can't I)

My initial reaction is that it's premature to offer a Founder's package with so much content missing. As consumers, we don't know what will really be "important" in the the final version of the game so it's difficult to offer suggestions aside from the typical cosmetic/booster/title package. I'd like something meaningful for my cash - I just don't know what is meaningful quite yet.
SoE it is really in your best interest to a) substantially increase auraxium gain or b) significantly reduce upgrades costs so that your future customer base can test/get a taste of as much as possible on the menu. Aside from creating upgrade addicts, you'll also get much more feedback about upgrade functionality/balance. PS - I looked at your Bullet Run Platinum package - that type of package is something that I believe will have success in PS2 if the offering is tweaked accordingly.

all, some or none of:
a small permanent XP boost (5%) a small permanent resource boost (5%) a small permanent auraxium boost (5%) a personal transport vehicle on a significantly reduced timer (flash @ 5min) a unique (founder) faction specific camo initial auraxium approx in value to founder pack cost start game with max resources (750,750,750) 100 certs Importantly everything should be something you actually would use day to day. On a related topic, PS1 vets should get PS1 style armour/camo PS1 verts should get 100 free certs. Beta veterans should get 100 free certs. (Added together this is still only a couple days worth of certs. but it makes veteran, beta players and veteran beta players feel on release that they got something!) |

Im with stanis for the most part. My favorite idea would special skins for the common pool vehicles. Founders would get a motorcycle than a quad, it would work the same, but just look different. Same for the other common pool vehicles.
I would not put in ps1 items, but leave those for special codes you could give to the ps1 vets for free, skins and such only they would ever have.

- "Founder" tag in the forums. - Free access to Planetside 1 until it shuts down. Thanks for saving me lots of time, Stanis!

I WANNA AN ROBOT OSTRICH PET THAT PROVIEDS 5% MORE GOLD.
Electricity nipples. I will almost certainly pay for this, so I guess I should be more serious. I'd still like there to be some kind of option to be a standard bearer, with an attachment on back, of regular troops and/or MAX units that shows a "holographic" faction flag. I don't know what it would achieve other than making you stand out even more as a target. The ability to glowstick dance (like Tabula Rasa (RIP)): Tabula Rasa bases were nice. They had walls and doesn't afraid of anything.
