Veteran Reward questionFollow

Ok, I have been playing for six years, actually started on Vallon Zek the second day it opened. I have six Veteran Rewards. My question is why, if I delete a character that has his Veteran Rewards, when I create a new character, he cannot recieve the rewards.
Part of the fun of EQ for me is starting new characters, trying new classes, and meeting new friends that way, I do not have one character that I started back then, and only one pre-Velious.
Am I the only one who feels this way? Am I missing something here? I know it may not be the most pressing EQ concern, but I wanted to run this by you on these boards before I take it up with my friend who works for Soe. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Interesting, had not heard of this. Problem with Zek, is we have no GM's

How many Vet Rewards do you have on characters throughout all the servers? When you go to set the rewards, it explicitly says that the rewards will be linked to that character only and are you sure you want to set them.

As I recall, it was one character per "year" of vet rewards gained. So if you have the first four rewards, you can have them across four characters total. Or 6/6 in your case.

I don't blame you but, in SOE's defense, they're pretty clear about it when you activate them.

This is silly of course you should be able to flag a toon with vet. rewards if you're deleting one with vet. rewards. Think for a minute, you ARE the consumer. Are you trying to get an extra toon flagged? No, are you asking for something that unbalances the game? No, you're asking for a little accomidation. Isn't the point of vet. rewards to reward longtime customers? Just my take on the subject.
