you could easily have registered back in 2009 and quit for 8 years and decide to come back, that doesnt make you special though.
Yes on the forum that's true.. that's why there are separate 'decorations' such as ELITE etc on the Forum and not in the Actual game. And its true I don't deserve anything for my participation in post on the forum. But I have been active at least 1-2 days/week (minimum) on the game this past years. And there isn't a special recognition for it on the game itself. That's actually the point of this suggestion. Ofcourse it can grow bigger such as Lenny said about the year coats, which is in my opinion, also a great idea. As as I said before: I said to give it to old account so that it would we a rare item for people who contributed their half life in it (like me). If everyone has it you can also make everyone an ELITE member on the Forum. And your thing about hours is also nice.. but then I think its better that player who play everyday 1hour for 8years are better then someone who plays 10hours a day for 1 year and then quits. And he'll have as much (actually more) hours then the old player who is dedicated to it for a way longer time. Many people are like with toys...they like it for 2 weeks and then they want an other.

But that's my opinion about it. I respect everyone opinion ofcourse.. that's why I suggested it to see how other people think about this issue
