The Soldier

The Gentle Manne's Service Medal is a cosmetic item that was obtainable for the Soldier. It is a small gold medal worn on the chest with a team-colored ribbon. The medal was not found or earned in-game, but instead was given away through a hidden page on the Classless Update website.

The medal was awarded to the first 11,111 players who visited the page. After the August 21, 2009 Patch, the medals became individually numbered up to #11,111 in the item's description.
