    It sure would be nice if we could the postings to our account in our Zen history section of our account. I could not tell you if I got my stipend for the past couple months to be frank.

    No, it does not. No, I did not receive double stipends in April or anything. It is just that, the May stipend has not been paid.

    Yup. Same here.. already wrote a mail to customerservice@perfectworld.com, but no reply so far except the automated response..

    The thing is, I don't know if I got double for April because I wasn't on very much and I haven't received my May stipend. I looked on my Zen history, but the stipends don't appear to show up on there. (they should) So, is there any way to check this? I need to know if I got double last month or if you still owe me a stipend for May. Being as it's the last day of the month, I think it's safe to say I should have gotten it by now. (I usually get it around the 27th or 28th.)

    I wanted to verify what dates I get my stipend but I can't seem to find a way to check that history.

    <found the answer, there is no way>

    I got my response from support and it looks like I did get double Zen last month

    I checked the month of March for what I would have spend Zen on the Duty Officer Promotion http://sto.perfectworld.com/news/?p=833421

    I guess I'm wrong.

    I just subscribed in May, as did my husband. I received my Zen; he has not. He submitted a ticket. After four days he received an automated response that his issue had been resolved.

    I refuse to pay for a service that I'm not actually being provided, so we are both going to go ahead and cancel our newly formed subscriptions. Terrible job here, Cryptic.

    I would highly advise you to send in another ticket if your issue hasn't been resolved. Their support staff has been hammered lately with both the release of LoR as well as the launch of Neverwinter. I'm not saying that's an excuse for not helping you, just that that's what's been going on over there. Also, did you send your ticket in as a bug report or as a billing ticket? If you used bug report then you will only get an automated response. You need to fill out a billing ticket to get a proper response.

    After a really long waiting, the customer service (billing service) finally gived a short answer.

    I get my stipend (and nothing more) and some requested answers about the dates of the stipend's payments, but I am very displeased with the long delay about the paymend and the delay of the tickets... And not getting any compensation because the fail to delivery the stipend with this huge delay. Aside other serious problems with the launch of LoR and the sea of bugs and exploits in Neverwinter.

    Yep, I too am missing the May payment; and I can't say i received any double payments to my account. I haven't spent any of my Zen for at least 3 months now, so I do know the balance didn't change in May... and now, we are into the month of June. So, what gives??? I turned in a ticket and received the automated response via email. And yes, I am a lifetime subscriber.

    In fact I have a few friends who subscribed this month or a few weeks ago who have yet to recieve theirs as well. Is this bugged or something? I typically recieve mine late in the month...and have gotten nothing for may. :|

    Its only 2 days into this month thats less than 30 days. The info is going to be exactly within date for most people affected.

    I resubscribed earlier in May and I have not yet received my stipend. I put in a ticket over a week ago and have not gotten a response back.

    It was a billing ticket, not a bug report. What's worse, it took three days just to receive that form-letter of a response. I know they're been slammed, so we'll give it one more shot. Still--I consider this pretty problematic.

    I'll say again, neither of these situations happened to me.

    When the stipend was manually granted to me back in April, it was for 500 Zen.

    I did not get 1000, so May's wasn't accidentally delivered.

    I did not get 1500, so June's wasn't also accidentally delivered.

    I have tried to contact support, but so far 3 days in and no response.

    So...what's the answer? With so many having issues and it seems quite a number only received 1 Stipend, wouldn't the logical course of action be to investigate again on a larger scale?

    I first got a response telling me they wish they could look into it but they were busy.

    I replied back that I'd like additional assistance.

    I got my Stipend yesterday.

    So keep pressing on if you get the form-looking letter.

    Unfortunately for me I received a response saying that if I persisted replying to their emails I would be in violation of TOS. :(

    I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're going, and hook up with them later.

    I have also only gotten 500 for April and nothing since, and I have been LTS for over two years. I usually get my stipend the same day I get my CO stipend with at most a 1 day difference... it's been 4 days since I got my CO stipend.

    Also did one of those Peanut Labs offers for 107 Zen; never received that AND after I did it, the Zen you receive for it jumped UP 10 Zen (so now, that offer is for 117 Zen when it was 107 when I did it and completed it).

    Fix this NOW, because this actually LEGALLY borders on breach of contract on Cryptic/PWE's part.

    same here, I am wondering is it a 30 day wait period for each stipend, is there a actual date we need to wait for, or is it just broken?

    Yes, before we were forced to move from CP to Zen or cryptic to perfect world, one could see the exact date in their account and every month on that date points we're credited automatically. Just found out that now, since the system obviously broke, we can only see the number of days the account is active and so in theory you could calculate the exact date you should expect your points. Cumbersome indeed... then again, whatever one calculates now, it doesn't really say anything as it seems.. argh

    Hopefully it is fixed now* (eventhough it's not in release notes for today's patch*)

    No reply to tickets either.. bad..
    I want my 1000 Zen... waiting

    There should be a posting history easily accessible just like the Zen transaction one via the wallet. I dont understand why this is not so yet. How long has it been since the merger? :mad:

    Hi Captains,

    Please check out the OP of this thread to see if it resolves your concern :) If you have not received your stipend for this month, it's much more likely that you received 2 (or maybe even 3) last month than it be missing -- we've verified that the automatic granting process is active. If you have any concerns, please file a Billing ticket at http://support.perfectworld.com (use the 'Contact Us' tab, and "Billing" in the category dropdown) and our Billing Specialists would be more than happy to investigate for you. Thanks!

    Cheers,

    Brandon =/\=

    I still have not received my stipend, and the PWE Support interface does not allow you to select STO, and will not proceed without it. It will also not allow you select a Billing Issue choice.
