When the Prestige points were introduced months ago, Nick stated that there will more things that makes you get these points. But till now, I don't see any sign of that happening.

Does anyone here have an idea about it?

Approximately when.
The new so-called purpose.

Or we won't know anything about it?

badges

When prestige was introduced, there were no "badges" next to our names. You could view a person's prestige level only by inspecting them.

Badges were added later. So they themselves may be the "more things" that Nick was talking about. They might fulfill his promise/teaser.

Or maybe there are still more things in the pipeline. I haven't heard anything about it.

Oh, I didn't know that actually. Was taking a rest from SK that time...

Anyways, I hope that the Badges aren't his promise, that would actually ruin my joy when I am at the doors of 60k prestige....

Do you think it is possible that a GM or Eury answer us?

I never had a GM reply to any of my threads, so I hope it happens this time ._.

brainstorming

in some game i had played before, they have the so-called "fame point" which can be gained/lost through pvp, and a "star badge" with number of 2-30 at the right bottomed corner of the star which can be gained through killing other players in realm battle.
fame point is similar to the prestige here, with a numerical value, and a badge based the value.
star badges can be traded for a prize box.

ok back to topic, processing thoughts of you, you expect to have some thing new for the prestige. here are some ideas after 45k prestige:
1. glowing (prismatic) knight's name
2. user defined status above knight's name (similar to what from windows live messenger/whatsapp)

Prestige points = Spiral

Prestige points = SK swag

The more points you have, the more SK swag your knight will have.

According to Nick

According to Nick, (Patch Note - February 22, 2012) ‘prestige’ which acts as a running score attached to your knight. Knights with high prestige will earn a special bonus in the future.

The Badges are not the special bonus in the future, promised. Like many other unfinished/under developed features in game, I'm hoping SK dev team are working on higher priority content, while keeping features like the prestige system, in game achievement system, ect.. ect on their to do list in the future.

clarify

The Badges are not the special bonus in the future, promised.

To clarify, because the release notes that you cited do not support your conclusion:

2012 February 22: "These missions reward you with ‘prestige’ which acts as a running score attached to your knight. Knights with high prestige will earn a special bonus in the future."

2012 April 11: "The first prestige reward, Prestige Badges, will now be granted to the most prestigious of knights! See the tooltip on any prestige reward for more information on all five levels of Prestige Badges."

So the badges, which arrived 1.5 months after prestige was introduced, could easily be the "special bonus"...except that they are just "the first prestige reward". What's the next prestige reward, if any? We don't know. There have been some rewards based on rank, such as Honor items, but those are not really for prestige. Bye now.

Bopp, the badges should have been released with the February 22, 2012 patch, this just proves my point and belief that every feature released such as the prestige system are either unfinished/under developed or work in progress. I most certainly hope as stated above... Badges are not the special bonus promised. Bye now.
