Retired limited edition portraits

Over the years, many portrait backgrounds have been introduced as limited edition portraits and then retired. Often, retired backgrounds are re-introduced to the game, again for a limited period of time. Most of these portraits were winners of a portrait background contest. These backgrounds can be viewed in the gallery of retired backgrounds.
