On one hand this is very welcome and will please many people, on the other it sort of diminishes people's hats who played beta. Saying this as someone who doesn't receive any beta hat btw.
I personally would have to say this is a great idea on what they're doing.
I made my revival story account in early November but I was unable to play during the beta, therefore missed all the hype etc around it, then the server went down & I missed it all..
Finally we have a re-release coming out, and I can feel a bit included.
We will have different bandanas, Mark of Beta (Red) & Mark of Survivor (Black); Which can be used to tell who the ex beta users were, I personally think the admins and staff are doing a great job & they have given numerous amounts of maple points etc to reimburse people which wasn't needed in my opinion.
They have gone above & beyond, without a doubt, I hope the user base sticks around & I hope for a successful launch!
