This is only a suggestion and I am mostly requesting just dev responses but honest opinions are welcome, and please no mean or hateful responses.
I am proposing that Cryptic and PWE offer free Lifetime Gold Memberships to Active and Retired members of the military in all countries where Star Trek Online and other PWE and Cryptic games are accessible or distributed.
also I am not in nor have i ever been in any military, but i know several that are and I think those who are risking or have risked their lives and/or have even suffered to ensure the safety of the citizens of all of our nations deserve to be thanked and rewarded for their bravery and service.
Even Soldiers need things to do during their downtime, Plus when they have chances to play around non-military friends and/or family it could possibly result in them creating their own accounts with some possibly becoming Gold members.
also I admit that i am not sure how such a program would be implemented but i'm sure those who do the accounting and legal duties as well as maybe even a few executives at PWE and Cryptic can figure out the proper procedure for such an offer.
So i ask the devs for Cryptic and PWE to please give some serious consideration and suggest this offer to those with the ability to make this suggestion a reality.
It is a nice thought, and it would be nice to have something done, although making it work is beyond my current throught process at this time.
I will leave you with a nice thought though, and maybe it'll spark an idea.
I know a couple of people in the military, they are all good people, people I do respect, some of them are more laid back than others, but its like any corner of civilization, people are different, but I digress . A good friend of mine was in the earily Iraqi war for Operation Iraqi Freedom, I got him into City Of Heroes which he thoroughly enjoyed.
However he had to leave for 6 months to train other soldiers for the war the ended up capturing Saddam. When he came back and found he couldn't get his city of heroes account going he spoke to customer service, who not only sorted out his account, they also gave him some free game time to make up for when he was on duty.
on a side note, giving free zen stipends to all ex military, would be a hoot. I mean countries with national service would just love it. ...no thanks, they wanna play thats cool, its free after all.

As much as I'd like to have a long history discussion with you, this isn't the forum for it.

As for the OP, ideas meant with the best of intentions aren't allways good ideas.
This thread in my opinion needs to be closed and buried.
:eek:
Bran, you better close this thread before I go off on somebody !

EDIT: Sorry, all. The thread has taken a turn for the worse and must be shut down. I'll pass the suggestion along, though ~BranFlakes
