The new Veterans Rewards program is due in the near future, as we’ve mentioned before. In the July 2009 Letter from the Game Director, Craig Morrison tells a little bit more about what we can expect:

As part of the next major update cycle, a new veteran reward system will be introduced that gives veteran players access to special vendors who will offer them a host of veteran benefits ranging from social status items to special items that will provide extra convenience items to veteran players. As an example of the latter, exp potions and similar bonuses, while not increasing the power of your characters, will provide veteran players with great time-saving rewards and options not available to new players.

So in-game perks when we keep playing, that might actually be a good idea, especially if it is combined with extra character slots (which they gave previously) and things like that. Just don’t send me gold bonuses or nonsense like that, make it cool, maybe Veterans Only quests?
