Is that ringing any bells with GW Beta players?
Well it should be!
It's the old famestick model from back in Beta

Basically, in beta, instead of getting a bambi, you'd get a famestick. There was a rumour that the number of orbiting particles changed depending on rank.
People who had earned a famestick carried them around in town.
I liked the old famestick, so seeing it make a comeback in NF is quite cool
