As a sign of appreciation to their paying subscribers, Wolfpack Studios and Ubisoft have launched Gifts of Appreciation across all servers in their MMORPG Shadowbane. The gifts, which can be found in the player's bank account, are magical artifacts which allow the player to transform into a different shape. The power of the artifact is divided up into four tiers, and what tier the player gets depends upon how long subscription he or she has paid for.

From the official Shadowbane site:

There are four tiers of gifts that will appear throughout the worlds, and they each perform different transformations.  The gift levels are determined by the amount of time a player has subscribed to the game.

To use the gifts, open up your bank account, place the gift in your inventory. Once you activate or 'use' the gift it will turn into a ring. Once this ring is equipped, a new power will appear in your power window that will allow you to transform into something special.
