Time flies when you're fragging newbs, and Global Agenda fans have been doing just that for the better part of two years now. Hi-Rez Studios' sci-fi shooter launched on February 1st, 2010, and for this week's anniversary, the firm is offering up some exclusive prizes as well as trotting out a few old flair favorites.

Starting today, any Global Agenda player who wins an instanced PvE or PvP mission before February 6th will receive a mini Switchblade pet to parade around Dome City in between matches. Hi-Rez is also sponsoring a 6-on-6 PvP tourney that features a dragon helmet for all participants and an unnamed exclusive item and cash prize for the winning team.

But wait, there's more! Check out Chloe's Burning Fashion for an extensive back catalog of previously retired flair pieces. There are over 100 items available for purchase using Hi-Rez's cash shop currency, including some headgear from past holiday events.

Finally, check out this Friday's The Firing Line for more info on Global Agenda at the two-year mark.

They've added over a dozen pages of headgear and armor dyes to the vendor. I'm guessing it's a popular move, since the dome looks like a cyber-agent pride parade now.

As for the two-year status -- it's still a tidal pool full of scum and villainy, with two or three hundred concurrent players, at best. They ran a Facebook promotion a while back that brought in some new blood (And made pick-up raiding a nightmare for a while), but if you stay out of dome chat the people are still friendly, helpful and as often as not international.
