    Update to the news post:
    Until Monday, October 1st, at noon PDT, if you subscribe for three months of Gold membership, you'll only pay for two months -- a 33% discount, down to just $30! That's just $10 a month for all the perks of being a Gold member. You will keep this discounted subscription rate as long as you remain subscribed.

    Cheers,

    Brandon =/\=

    Wait, wha?! That's stupid. In other words: current Gold members should cancel their Gold membership, and then immediately renew it for a lifelong 33% discounted Gold membership; is that what you're saying?

    ok, a little more tempting, but Gold still doesn't seem to have a large enough advantage to offset the benefits of putting the money into Zen instead...

    If the 700 day Android were fully functional, it'd be a no-brainer. As it is? Almost makes more sense to wait until just before I hit VA/LG on a character and then sub for a month.

    Give me partial credit on an LTS sub for time already subbed and I'd probably jump at that.

    Hmm what happens to the purchases I made so far? If I have a lvl 50 toon already will I get 5 free retrain tokens for that char if I subscribe? Or if I have 5 character slots unlocked will I still get one free? And what about the special x-day rewards? If I've played 200 days of F2P so far are those days counting for those rewards if I subscribe?

    The gold subscriptions is nice, I take one month and I liked. Having a good discount is good.

    My only concern is about the montly zen. 500 is a bit low, better if become 750 of at least, 650.

    thanks for clarifying on the sale, in regards to whether we keep the sale price if we say subscribed.

    $15 a month is steep, and I jumped on the 3 months for $30 to give it a try when the sale started.

    I like the game and am willing to play $30 for 3 months, effectively $10 a month, which seems very reasonable.
    Thanks for the Advanced Light Cruiser, Allied Escort Bundles, Jem-Hadar Light Battlecruiser, and Mek'leth

    You don't have to unsubscribe. Just change your subscription. That's what I did. Went from monthly to the 3-month rate for the discount. I won't get billed again until next month (since I've already been billed this month) but next month it will bill me the 3-month rate and then once every 3 months after that. Since I changed my subscription today I will now be billed at the discount rate of $30 for 3 months. The monthly stipend, however, remains the same... 500 Zen every month. :P

    If you figger in the Zen stipend (500 Zen = $5 every month) then it's really only costing us $5 a month... very reasonable, indeed, considering what we get in this game. I don't think I've more than looked in to any of my other games since I started playing in January. :D

    What can you do with 500 zen though? Buy three lock box keys and that's about it.
